GIRLS: Eisenhower 50, Salina Central 49 (OT)

The Salina Central Mustangs had their chances last night, but were unable to hold off the Eisenhower Tigers in yet another tight contest between the two teams.

Salina Central was led by Tyler Vidricksen’s 17 points, on five made three-pointers, and Azbey Peckham added 10 points.

The Mustang offense put up a solid effort, but it was the Eisenhower defense that proved to be the difference in overtime, holding Central to just one made basket in the closing seconds.

Salina Central drops to 8-8 on the season and will be back on the road at Goddard High on Tuesday.
