CENTRAL - The Zachary Broncos took down the Central Wildcats 31-21 in their District 4-5A opener.

The game didn't start great for the Broncos. They turned the ball over three times in the first quarter. Dylan Thompson intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble. Harlem Lindsey also picked off Zachary quarterback Jacori Platt.

It was also a slow start for the Wildcats. They were not able to capitalize off of their turnovers. They attempted a field goal in the second quarter, but missed it to come up empty.

Zachary would be the first to score when they nailed a field goal late in the second quarter. The Broncos led at halftime 3-0.

Central finally got on the board in the opening drive of the second half. After a deep pass down field to Brody Diel, quarterback Max Gassiott rushed in the Wildcats' first touchdown of the night.

The second half would be a battle with both offenses coming to life, but Zachary would have the upper hand and win it. The Broncos improve to 4-2 and Central drops to 3-3 on the season.
