7th Boys Teams fall to Albia
It was quite a turnaround for Chariton, who lost to Albia 53-18 earlier this season. Nathan Blong led the Chargers with 12 points while Royce Stewart had 10.
"Wow, what a fun game to be a part of. Our kids are really playing at another level right now. We took a lead to the locker room but have got to continue to make progress on the mental as well as the physical part of the game. We need to learn how to play from ahead as well as behind. We were forcing too many passes in the second half that we just didn't need to try," Chariton Head Coach Mike Jones said.
Chariotn shot 13-17 from the line. "We did miss too many free throws during the game, but we had other opportunities too. We gave Albia too many second chances late in the game by not taking care of rebound and loose balls. When these kids get a handle on all parts of the game, they will be a team that can play with and beat anyone they step on the court to play," Coach Jones said.
Jackson Fisher had eight points. Payton Lane had four points and Nathan Weaver had two. Cameron McDonald had one point. "Nathan continues to be a big force on offense as well as the boards. Payton came off the bench and really showed his improvement by giving us some quality time," Coach Jones said.
Chariton loses close B game
The B game was also close with Chariton falling, 16-12. Cooper Shelton led the team with four points. Luke Lahart, Tyler Gookin, Ty White, Micah Thatcher and Jimmy Graham had two points apiece.
"Like the A team, these kids keep making some progress. I was disappointed in the lack of offense today. We are looking for some leadership on the floor to get people in position and run what is beneficial for us. We have made an effort to work on rebounding each day in practice recently and it's good to see some of the kids putting it to use. We did a little better job of controlling their second chances today and this allowed us to keep the game a little closer. Ty White and Micah again did a great job on the boards today," Coach Jones said.
The game was an improvement for the B team, who lost to Albia earlier this season, 23-10.
Chariton shot 13-48, 27 percent, from the field and 4-13, 31 percent from the line. "We are getting to the free throw line much more lately and any time we can score with the clock not running is a plus. The girls are starting to look for open space and taking the ball off the dribble when the opportunity presents itself, which is something we have emphasized all season," Chariton Head Coach Bruce Taylor said.
Shayla Holohan led Chariton in scoring with nine points and was a force in rebounding collecting six boards, "She played her best game to date," Coach Taylor said.
Grace Bengtson had six points and one rebound. Natalie Ilyenko had four points, four rebounds and two steals, "Natalie did a nice job as our sixth man tonight," Coach Taylor said.
Breanna Ellis scored three points and had one steal. Paige Burgett had two points, one rebound and one steal. Shelby Dobberthein had two points, one rebound and one steal.

White Team Losses Close Game
The White Team lost a close game, 15-12, to move to 5-3 overall. For the game they shot 5-24, 21 percent, from the field and 2-4, 50 percent, from the line.

Beaty had a nice floor game and scored two points. Johnston had two points and two rebounds. Leilani Plank had two points and two steals. Crystal Milam had one rebound. Baylee Pollard had one rebound. Emily Shelton had two steals. Payton had two steals.
