The Woodstock Centaurs have to be given some credit for the season they're having.
They wear blue and they're a blue-collar team.
Coach Rob Mileski lost players like Bryan Lowry, Jay McNally and Chris Dunn, just three of the names who helped the Centaurs to a state semifinal appearance last year, but still has his team in second place in the ECC Large Division.
"Maybe we've overachieved but I'm not concerned about that," Mileski said after his team gave NFA one of their tougher tests this season before losing 49-42.
"We're 16 games in, we're just trying to stay in the hunt and work on our (tournament) seed here. We just look at each game and try to figure how to win," he added.
They're doing a pretty good job of it as they won 11 of their first 16 games and they've won because of their defense and ability to play and score as a unit. The Centaurs frustrated the Wildcats a bit on Tuesday and got some help from NFA as both R.J.Evans and Mike Mailhot had uncommonly quiet nights.
Unfortunately for Woodstock, Evans got hot when he had to and that led to the Centaurs downfall.
The win also clinched a tie for the ECC Large Division title for NFA.
