BOYS GAMES: Centennial beats Lassiter on road

Composure is needed on the road, and Centennial coach Allen Whitehart got that from his troops Tuesday night in a 63-54 win over host Lassiter.

“They’re a very hard-nosed, veteran team that’s well-coached,” said Whitehart, whose 21-2 squad is ranked No. 3 in Class AAAAA by the Georgia Sports Writers Association. Sixth-ranked Lassiter fell to 18-6.

“It wasn’t our best night of the year, but it was a good one,” Whitehart said. “Our kids stayed controlled and showed composure. Lassiter is very hard to beat at home, so it was a big road win for us.”

Adrian Rogers led Centennial with 18 points, followed by Lorenzo Brown with 16. A four-year starter, Brown is now six shy of 2,000 career points.

Lassiter was led by Blaise White with 17 points.
