.
Notes:
Scores are for actual dates games were played and not the graduating class year.
Central season total points scored versus opponents was typically a wide margin
Observe the number of opponent scores that were "0".
 Central had to go out of state to find opponents.
1943-1955 was the longest running "in town" opponent - Baylor.
Baylor was the best local opponent Central played.
Memphis teams were tough opponents in the mid-late 1950's.
In 1957 only 2 out of 10 teams scored on Central in the regular season.
(But lost to Robert E Lee in the Meninak Bowl for the 3rd score)
