Central headed to Gillette College over the weekend after a tough loss at home to #19 Casper College.  The Rustlers would fall to Gillette (81-89), making the Rustlers conference record 0-2.  Central was outscored by Gillette by 11 points at halftime, and would outscore the Pronghorns the second half by 3.

 

Sophomore James Woods led the Rustlers in scoring with 22 points.  Woods also led the team in assists with 4.  Darius Guinn added 16 points, and would foul out of the game.  Freshman Kalthom Kur led Central in rebounds with a total of 9.  Central had one more turnover than Gillette, and was outrebounded by 11.  "Overall our team play has been lacking. We are turning the ball over way too much and not making the easy pass. Focusing on trusting the team over individual home-run plays is one area we need to improve," said Coach Schmit.

 

"Props to Gillette. They are really good at home and it showed. Their shot making, energy, and team play, were at a higher level than us. Hopefully we have a great week of practice as we prepare for LCCC and EWC." -Coach Schmit
