We were also fortunate that they missed some shots that they normally make. I thought offensively we were a little out of sync in this game. We didn't move the ball as well as we have in games past, but were able to make enough shots to get it done," Chariton Head Coach Ben Schooley said.

"We did a nice job of crashing the glass and getting some second chance points. We also struggled late against their pressure and that's something we have to improve upon. I thought we played with great effort in this game and that's important when you aren't playing your best," Coach Schooley said.
Christian Bengtson had four points, six rebounds, a team-high eight assists and three steals. Ben Morrett had four points, three rebounds and four assists. Brett Braida had one rebound and one assist.
