Recruiting Roundup: Central plays in 7-on-7 National Championship Series
The Central Red Devils are looking to make a lot of noise come fall, but that didn’t stop them from doing the same this summer.
Central impressed in the USA Football 7-on-7 National Championship Series in Hoover. In Game 1 on Thursday, the Red Devils defeated Austin 25-14. They later had a tough 18-11 loss to Opelika in which Central wide receiver Justyn Ross made a great catch on the final play but was unable to come down in bounds.
