By Ed Cahill Press-Dispatch Sports Editor sports@pressdispatch.net It was a classic case of good news and bad news when the Pike Central High School boys' bas- ketball team hosted Tell City on Friday, Feb. 8. The good news? Trailing 16 -10 at the end of the first period, the Chargers – who had jumped out to an 8 -5 lead – held Tell City to just nine points in the second quarter. The bad news? Pike Central scored no points during the sec- ond quarter, going 0 -for-8 from the floor, includ- ing 0 -for-4 from beyond the three-point line, while falling behind 25 -10. Things then went from bad to worse in the third quarter when the Marksman outscored the Chargers 22-11 to extend their lead to 47- 21 lead enroute to a 58 -27 victory. "It's one of those things where we missed about three or four lay-ups in that second quar- ter and had some good looks from three that just didn't go in," Pike Central head coach Hunt- er Elliott, whose team fell to 3-15 overall and 1- 5 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. "I thought, defensively, the first half, we were really good. We held them to nine in the second quarter. They kind of came out in that third quarter and jumped on us a little bit, though." A fter Tell City took a 3-0 lead on a three-point- er by senior Trent Arnold, a three-pointer by se- nior Hayden Kabrick and a pair of free throws by senior Judah Leathco spurred the Chargers to a 5 -3 lead with 5:26 remaining in the first quarter. The Marksmen pulled even on a basket by senior Braeden Beard before a three-pointer by Pike Central senior Christian Benson gave the Chargers an 8 -5 lead with 4:40 left in the opening period. Tell City answered with a 9 -0 scoring run featuring back-to-back baskets by Beard and senior Spencer Fest, a free throw by Arnold and a three-pointer by senior Tretter Lyons to take a 13-8 lead with 2:23 remaining in the first quarter. A fter Benson hit a pair of free throws to pull the Chargers to within 13-10, a three-pointer by By Ed Cahill Press-Dispatch Sports Editor sports@pressdispatch.net Pike Central High School wrestler Isaiah Greer saw his sophomore season come to an end during the IHSA A Semi-State Meet host- ed by Evansville Reitz at the Ford Center on Saturday, Feb. 9. Greer, seeded No. 10 in the 113-pound weight class, lost by an 8 -0 major decision to Columbus North senior Morgan Smith, the No. 7 seed, in the first round. Greer, who placed fourth in the 113-pound weight class during the Southridge Regional one week earlier, ended the season with a won- loss record of 30 -18. Smith, who placed first in the 113-pound weight class during the Jeffersonville Region- al on Saturday, Feb. 2, would lose by pin to Mon- rovia sophomore Ben Dalton, the No. 15 seed, in the second round to end the season with a won-loss record of 26 -8. Dalton would go on to place first, winning by an 8 -2 decision over Brownsburg freshman K.T. Nelson, the No. 5 seed, in the champion- ship bout. "I was very proud of how Isaiah handled the situation," Chargers head coach Ryan McCain Theising places first in two events as Chargers finish second in tri-meet By Ed Cahill Press-Dispatch Sports Editor sports@pressdispatch.net Junior Sam Theising won two individual events as the Pike Central High School boys' swimming and div- ing team finished second in a tri-meet hosted by the Chargers on Wednesday, Feb. 6.
