Blake Slattery connected with Eric Ennis on two touchdown passes in the second half, as the Central football team picked up its first win with a 24-6 decision Friday night at St. Charles, Mo.

Ennis caught two TD passes, sophomore George Hamilton returned a kickoff for a TD, and Tyler McNabb kicked a field goal and three extra points for Central (1-3).

McNabb's 18-yard field goal came in the closing seconds of the first half and sent the Tigers into the locker room ahead 10-6 -- their first halftime lead of the year.

Central put the game away with a 43-yard pass play from Slattery to Ennis and later a 9-yard completion between the same parties on a pass that was deflected.
