Bryce Long was the leading scorer for the Cardinals with 14 points.
The evening’s last game was the best one as Warren Central used a big 4th quarter to hold off Kenny White and Madisonville North Hopkins 66-62.
White had a big night scoring and also had the play of the night which was #2 on the Sportscenter Top 10.
