Pike Central was credit- ed with nine assists for the game, with Gorby and Gish each handing out three. "I thought we played hard, and we did some really good things on the floor tonight," said PCHS Coach Hunter Elliott after the game, "but North Knox hit some great shots in the second half, and we just did not have an answer for their shooting. "They hit some tough shots in some big situations, and that just killed us. "In simple terms, we just have to get better, but it's real- ly tough on these kids to keep coming so close in game af- ter game and not coming out with a win—We just need to get better, and I think we are each time we play." The loss leaves the Char- gers at 1-10 on the 2020 -21 season, while the victory gives the Warriors a 6 -6 record on the year.
