The Andover Central Jaguars swept the Salina Central Mustangs on Tuesday night, sending both Mustang basketball teams into Winter Break with a tough loss.

GIRLS – Andover Central 48, Salina Centrak 30

Salina Central took an early 8-1 lead over the Jaguars, thanks to a hot shooting start from Tyler Vidricksen, but one Andover Central bucket seemed to change all the momentum, sparking a massive ACHS run.

The Jaguars closed the first half on a 26-5 run, taking a 14 point lead to the locker room.

That advantage would be tough for the Mustangs to overcome in the second half, handing Salina Central just their second loss of the young season. They head into Winter Break at 4-2 overall.

The Mustangs were lead in scoring by 14 points from Vidricksen, but no other SC players would reach double-figures.

Andover Central saw 15 points from Maddi Amekporfor-Sadler and 11 from Haven Deckinger.
