Centre evened its season record at .500 Friday by more than doubling up the score on Wakefield.
But both Marion and Peabody-Burns extended losing streaks, Peabody-Burns by a very lopsided score.
Goessel, which has won only one game this season, lost by nearly 40.
Winless Hillsboro didn’t lose again, but it had Friday off.
