The Central boys basketball team welcomes back three full-time starters and one part-time starter from a squad that went 21-6 last season. With an Area Tournament appearance fresh in their minds, the returning core looks to build on that momentum. They aim to achieve even greater success in the coming season.

An unexpected gesture took shape when the San Antonio Spurs donated brand-new shoes to the Wagner High School basketball teams. The moment highlighted the unifying power of a simple gift—and the encouragement it can bring to young athletes.

Junior guard Cole Hebrink delivered a standout performance, sinking eight three-pointers and scoring 30 points to lead the Austin Packers to a 79-71 victory over the Mankato West Scarlets. The win improves Austin’s record as they continue their season.
