Varsity Girls Lose to Knoxville 39-36

Early foul trouble and too many missed free throws early were both key factors in the Chariton varsity girls loss at Knoxville.  Even though Chariton played an excellent game defensively and held a three-point lead with three minutes left, they just couldn't quite hang on for the win.  Senior guard, Kylie Bengtson suffered a sprained ankle in the third period and didn't play the rest of the game.    With the loss, Chariton Girls are now 3-10 overall.
