Board hitting his stride at Centenary

Former Crowley High basketball standout Braeden Board is making the most out of his new role as a starter for the Centenary Gents.
Board, a sophomore, has started seven of the Gents’ eight basketball games this season and is averaging just over 14 minutes of playing time per contest.
In the season opener, an 87-77 victory over Arlington Baptist, Board went 3-for-3 from 3-point range and scored a career-high 17 points. He also added six rebounds and three steals.
On Dec. 4, Board had another big outing by scoring 13 points and pulling down six rebounds. He also blocked a shot in a 63-54 setback to Texas College.
In eight games this season, Board has connected on six 3-pointers and has pulled down 28 rebounds. He has also recorded four assists, six steals and seven blocked shots.
As a freshman in 2020, Board saw action in 11 of the Gents’ 12 games during an abbreviated year due to COVID 19. He made three starts as a rookie and averaged 8.4 minutes per contest.
During that season he scored a season-high four points in a 51-37 home victory over Colorado College and he had three points in his college debut against Texas Lutheran while playing 19 minutes.
Board is a 2019 graduate of Crowley High where he earned numerous accolades, including being named to the All-District and All-Acadia Parish first-teams as well as being an honorable mention selection on Class 3A All-State team his senior year.
