HS Boys Basketball: Wildcats win at Central, stay perfect in SWL

Fruita Monument is 6-0 in Southwestern League play after taking down Central on the road, 56-33.

The Wildcats were the first to score as Ian Barnes spun towards the basket and was fouled. Central couldn't find the bottom of the net as they only hit one field goal in the first quarter. Fruita was able to capitalize on a few turnovers by the Warriors to strengthen their lead.

Fruita Monument will host Durango on Saturday. Central will travel to play at Montrose Friday night.
