Central (9-4) is back in the final four for the third straight season. One of the big reasons why is the emergence of sophomore running back Aaron Harris, who leads the team with 208 rushes for 1,525 yards and 11 touchdowns while also contributing 81 tackles -- a team-high 13 for loss -- on defense as an inside linebacker.

The Tigers have also benefited from consistent play on the defensive end. Over the last seven games, Central has allowed 19.7 points per game -- a nearly 10-point improvement from the season's first half.
