8th Boys Fall to Albia
The Chariton eighth grade boys faced a very good Albia team December 9th.  The Chargers gave a valiant effort including a strong defensive effort in the second half but lost 56-21.
"We ran into a buzz-saw with Albia.  They have a good program and showed it in the first half.  We regrouped at halftime and were only outscored 16-14 in the second half.  We picked up our defensive intensity and it helped our offense as well," Chariton Head Coach Brian Zimmerli said.
Dylan Sites led Chariton with nine points, three rebounds and one assist.  Tyler Anderson had eight points, two rebounds and one assist.  Bradley Owens had two points and two rebounds.  Kurt Showers had two rebounds and one steal.  Tanner Stephens had two points.
Chariton B Team Falls

7th Boys Fall to Albia
The Chariton A team struggled in a 53-18 loss at Albia December 9th.  The Chargers didn't shoot well going 7-30 from the field and no player had more than six points.  Noah Weaver led the team with six points along with 10 rebounds.  With the loss, the A team moved to 1-1 on the season.
"This was a rough outing for us today.  We shot the ball poorly, we were out-rebounded and we didn't take care of the ball very well.  The fundamental part we can work on, but I don't like that we were out-hustled by Albia at both ends of the court.  We will have that fixed before the next game," Chariton Head Coach Mike Jones said.
Royce Stuart had four points and seven rebounds.  Jackson Fisher had four points and five rebounds.  Cooper Shelton had three points and two rebounds.  Cameron McDonald had two points and one rebound.  Nathan Blong had one point and seven rebounds.  Brady Hamilton, Nathan Weaver and Peyton Lane had one rebound each.
B Team Fall To Albia
The B team also lost to Albia, 23-10.  The B team played Albia tough in the first half forcing an 8-8 tie at halftime.  "In the second half however, we again struggled to find our offense.  Without running our sets and facing Albia's defense, we began to turn the ball over too much and Albia took advantage of this to pull away in the game," Coach Jones said.
Tyler Gookin, Aaron Sullenger, Jimmy Graham, Matthew Stout and Gus Ghormley had two points each.  Graham had five rebounds.  Sullenger, Ghormley and Ty White had two rebounds each.  Garrett Roach and Luke Lahart each had one rebound.
