Center Hill girls down Lafayette in MHSAA 2-4A game

Center Hill junior guard Jasmine Golden never said whether or not she had Tuesday night’s crucial MHSAA Region 2-4A game against Lafayette circled on her calendar.

However, she can recall how long she has been talking about the Lady Mustangs’ meeting against the perennial power Lady Commodores.

“We talked about this game so much in practice, really since the summer,” Golden said. “I was thinking they were thinking they could come in and do the same thing to us they did last year. We had a chip on our shoulders from them beating us so badly last year.”

In arguably its toughest matchup in the program’s five-year history, Center Hill escaped with a 44-41 confidence-building victory against a visiting Lafayette squad that is ranked No. 5 in Mississippi by Maxpreps.com.

Golden, the team’s top scorer who entered Tuesday’s game averaging 16.8 points, was her usual reliable self, pouring in a game-high 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting to lead the No. 23-ranked Lady Mustangs (15-2, 3-1 in 2-4A).
