The gym at Centennial High School was electric Friday night as the Bulldogs celebrated their seniors: Jaden Dudley, Jaylen Kelly, and LaDainian Ivery, before delivering a dominant 102-34 victory over the Spring Valley Grizzlies. Under the bright gym lights on Senior Night, each senior walked across the court, hand in hand with their loved ones and biggest supporters. As the crowd cheered, Coach Weitz shared her favorite team memories, buzzer-beaters, hard-fought wins, and inside jokes. Then the announcer described their future plans, from college aspirations to careers, leaving a legacy behind.

From the opening tip-off, the Bulldogs were unstoppable, fueled by fast breaks, precision shooting, and an unbreakable bond. Senior Jaylen Kelly led the charge with 22 points, while Jaden Dudley cheered his team on on the side and LaDainian Ivery’s explosive drives kept the crowd roaring.

“This team is family,” said Dudley. “I wouldn’t want to go to battle with anyone else.”

Jaylen Kelly echoed the sentiment: “Basketball has given me more than just wins—it’s given me brothers for life.”
The Bulldogs didn’t just win—they celebrated a brotherhood that will last forever.
