Charger Coach Hunter El- liott said before the game he warned the Chargers this was a "trap game." "Coming off as much energy and effort as we had in three overtimes on Friday night and having to play a solid team like Wood, it was a trap game," said Elliott. "We didn't get a lot of calls. At halftime we said we can't control what gets called, but we can con- trol our mindset." Morton showed his mindset was ready as he drilled the first of four threes in the quarter at the 6:21 mark. Bigham answered inside to make it 19 -18. Howald hit a three putting the Chargers up 22-18, but Falls hit his second three of the quarter to make it 22-21 with 5:11 left. Morton hit Brayden Howald under the basket with a lob pass. Howald got it in the hoop despite a hard foul, but missed the free-throw. Gish was fouled on a drive and hit both free- throws. Morton dropped a three pointer and laid in a scoop on a drive and the Charger lead had exploded to 32-21. Peyton Howald then picked up his third and fourth fouls and Braden Howald his third in an 11 second stretch. It didn't matter. Morton's three point barrage had the Chargers leading 38 -26 at the end of the third quarter. Wood had no answer. The win improves Pike Cen- tral to 8 -3 on the year and their fifth win in their last six games.

Pike Central's Quade Morton goes up for two of his 29 points in the Chargers 49-34 win over Wood Memorial on Saturday.
