"Our kids actually had a three-point lead with about two and a half minutes to go, but we made some poor passes and forced shots we didn't need to take and allowed DC to tie the game at the end of regulation. In the extra session, our kids really made some nice hard cuts on offense and did a better job of working for each other to take better care of the ball," Chariton Head Coach Mike Jones said.
"We did a poor job of identifying shooters early in the game and did a much better job of this in the second half. Our kids rebounded well, not allowing Davis County to have many second and third opportunities. Brady Hamilton did a very good job of being in good position to handle rebounds against taller opponents. Nathan really brought us back early in the second half in being very aggressive in attacking the basket offensively," Coach Jones said.
Royce Stuart had 11 points and four rebounds. Brady Hamilton had two points and five rebounds. Nathan Weaver had two points and seven rebounds.
Brodey Johnson had one point and two rebounds. Cameron McDonald had four rebounds. Peyton Lane had two rebounds.

"Once again, our lack of an offense hurt us. We didn't handle Davis County's aggressive defense very well. We didn't screen and we didn't make back door cuts. I wasn't very pleased with our defensive effort or our rebounding tonight either. We allowed quite a few DC layups without anyone being in position to help stop the attack. Davis County out-rebounded us by a 3-1 margin, many of these on their offensive end, giving them extra attempts at the basket," Coach Jones said.
