"Our kids bounced back from a tough loss with a good effort today. We have been trying to pick up our intensity at practice and have that carry over to the game. We need to continue to improve our defensive rebounding, especially our post players as this is the second team in a row that has gotten double digit offensive rebounds against us. We struggled with a horrific shooting night, going 13-48 from the field, but our defensive effort helped us to pull out the win," Chariton Head Coach Mike Jones said.

We still are looking for someone to step up from a leadership perspective on the B team and get us in proper positions. Like the A team, these kids played a lot harder tonight. We will continue to get better with this kind of effort," Coach Jones said.
