The Perry Central varsity girls won a thrilling double overtime game against conference opponent Orleans this past Thursday. This game included three buzzer beaters, including a half court shot that ended the third quarter from Katie Lynch.
Stat Leaders:
Maggie Cunningham - 21 points 12 rebounds
Katie Lynch - 11 points
Jadyn Smith - 10 rebounds
"We had a really good game from Maggie Cunningham. She had a double-double," remarked Coach Elliott.
Maggie Cunningham said, "The three seniors were big leaders in the game. Emily Parker handled the ball really well, and me and Jadyn rebounded and got put backs."
Katie Lynch added, "We had all the odds against us and didn't play our best basketball till the second half, but we came out with a hard fought double overtime conference win."
Jadyn Smith commented, "My favorite part of the game was standing at the other end of the court while Katie was shooting the game winning free throws, knowing that we were going to win. "

Perry Central Elementary Student Council members helped out by doing some last minute shopping at Walmart for the Holiday Helpers program! #good2bgreen
Perry Central's Precision Ag Class, led by Carrie Guillaume, is partnering with Scott Massey's new company GrowPod to build vertical towers for food production. Mr. Massey's goal is to create a product that can be used in food deserts across the county. Perry Central students are partnering with Mr. Massey to experiment with different plants to see which will produce the best in this environment. We are the first high school to use his product. Precision Ag Senior, Jared Wagner, utilized the skills he learned from construction class to assemble and build the grow tower frame and hydroponic tower himself. Jared has been committed to the project ever since, investing a lot of his own time into ensuring its success. They even harvested several gallons of lettuce this week! Jared will also be leading his Precision Ag team in developing a manual for GrowPod. The manual will be a layout for other schools to use for assembly. #good2bgreen
