Varsity Charger Boys Beat Davis County
Despite having an off night offensively, the Chariton Varsity boys played tough defense and scored 40 points in the second half to win, 63-58, at Davis County on February 13th. Chariton overcame a seven-point halftime deficit and kept their win streak alive, winning their 13th straight to move to 16-3 overall.

Chariton scored 20 points again in the fourth and held on for the five-point win.
"We didn't play very well offensively in this game. We missed a lot of shots that we normally make and were just not our normal selves on the offensive end. I thought that DC did a nice job of defending us all night. I was very proud of the way the guys responded in the second half, however. I thought we raised our level of intensity on the defensive end and we were able to get some stops and turn that into some transition baskets," Chariton Head Coach Ben Schooley said.
Coach Schooley said that the third quarter was the turning point. "We played a really good third quarter and that got us back in the game. Davis County is a tough place to play and I was pleased with the way the guys played with toughness. We had some guys step up in this game both offensively and defensively when we needed it and that's a sign of a good team. These guys continue to work extremely hard and improve every time they play," he said.
