The Panthers, playing without three usual starters, stayed competitive throughout before falling to Centralia
Sophomore Austin Tran had a career-high 18 points to lead short-handed Washougal. Injuries and a family commitment led to the change in lineup for the non-league game.
Isaac Bischoff added 14, and Michael McElroy scored 12 for the Panthers, who were tied going into the final quarter.
