Players Notes: CC vs. HCV

<!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"100"}},"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:100">Central Cass (CC) and Hillsboro/Central Valley (HCV) tipped off the season Saturday afternoon with a 4:00 matchup in Casselton, squaring off in a Class A Region 1 vs. Region 2 showdown. The Squirrels set the tone early, coming out of the gates hot and building control of the game from the opening minutes. Hillsboro/Central Valley responded with grit and toughness, battling throughout and keeping things competitive, but Central Cass maintained its edge and pulled away for a 14-point victory. The win moves the Squirrels to 1–0 on the season as they prepare for a road test at Grafton on Tuesday, the 16th. The Burros open the year at 0–1 and will look to bounce back when they host a tough Kindred squad on Tuesday, the 16th. Best of luck to both squads as the season moves along.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Scores &amp;
