Game notes: R-S Central placed third in the South Mountain 2A/3A behind Shelby and Burns.
R-S Central shoved it down South Rowan's throat last Friday for 398 rushing yards, while West allowed zero rushing yards to Freedom.
That indicates the key struggle tonight will be R-S Central's strong O-line against West's defensive front.
On the other side, West's K.P. Parks needs 233 yards to break the all-time state rushing record, and this should be a game in which he's out there for four quarter for a change.
West has won 26 in a row because it has 40 good players in addition to Parks. Maxx Gore is a terror on special teams. Davon Quarles is a masher on the O-line.
