Central Eagles

The Central Eagles goal at the start of the 2010 high school football season was similar to many schools around the state - be perfect. In 2010 the Eagles did just that. They went 15-0 and won their fourth state title and first since 2003. The others came in 1989 and 1997.

The match up between Central and Dillon was one of the most exciting state championships of 2010. The Eagles found themselves behind on the scoreboard 17-7 with the clock working against them. The Eagles pulled off an 11 play, 78 yard drive in less than two minutes to pull within a field goal. A late interception by De'aja Blakeney that allowed Mardu Smith to score a touchdown with 37 seconds to clinch the title for Pageland's Central Eagles.
