Dominique Hawkins had a game-high 19 points for the Indians. Casey Schneider and Hunter Allen each added five points.
After two early lead changes, Catholic took control, building a 22-11 advantage after the first quarter. At halftime, the Knights were up 44-20.
Catholic got 23 points off the bench and out-scored Central 32-24 in the paint. Taylor Martin and Scott Schuette each had 12 points to lead the Knights.
Central’s Nick Ford had nine rebounds and three points, while Brenton Covington and Jared Pyatt each added three points. Daniel Parke and Kyle Congleton each had two points.
Central had just six assists and was out-rebounded, 33-32.
The Indians are scheduled to return to action Friday at Franklin County.
