Super Sunday and Super Tuesday precedes a Super Week of boys basketball in the Central Section. Highlights:
Tuesday: No. 10 Buchanan at No. 1 Clovis West. Bears, at home, won the TRAC first-rounder 52-51 -- only their second win all-time against the Golden Eagles in 28 games. Clovis West should win by at least 10 points in this second-rounder.
Wednesday: Hanford West at No. 8 Hanford. Bullpups (24-3), the winningest team in the section, won 78-66 the first time, and this could even be more convincing as they clinch the West Yosemite League title.
Thursday: No. 4 Memorial at Sunnyside. Wonder if this will be as interesting as the first one, when Wildcats forced Panthers to rally for 45-41 win at Memorial. A win here will clinch North Yosemite League title tie for Panthers.
Friday: No. 1 Clovis West at No. 3 Clovis East: Preview to section Division I championship rematch? Could very well be. Eagles, at home, coasted 65-50 over Timberwolves in the first round. This one should be one of those OT types.
Central defeats Clovis East in overtime on the road!
This was an exciting game to watch. Both teams running and pressing, what a finish! Buchanan also beats CW again, so what does this look like for the section? Central is the dark horse that may do some damage come playoff time...
