For Central to win its first state title since 1999:
1. Billy Marsden has to get on track.
2. Central has to value its possessions more, stop taking the ill-advised one-pass three and start taking care of the ball.
3. The Raiders need to pick it up on defense.
4. Attack the hoop like they did vs. BC High.
