PABLO - Charlo stayed undefeated but it wasn't easy. Two Eagle came in with their style of play, and while most teams try to slow the Vikings down, the Eagles tried to turn the tempo up.
Two Eagle went on a 9-2 run to start the game, but Charlo came charging back with a 14-3 run of their own and took the lead after the first quarter, 21-17. The Eagles employed a fast break offense that had a guard slip behind Charlo's players in transition.
In the second quarter, the Eagles got six points from Marcus Brown and a three-pointer from Trevor Butterfly with just a few moments left in the half gave Two Eagle the 30-29 lead heading into the locker room. Brown would end up being the Eagles' leading scorer with 16 points.
Charlo came out in the third quarter strong and went on a 11-0 run for a 47-40 lead going into the fourth. Ten of the Vikings' points came from Chance Rosenbaum who not only showed great rebounding but a grab-bag of moves under the basket under extreme pressure from Two Eagle defenders. In all, Charlo scored 18 points in the third quarter while holding Two Eagle to 10.
The Vikings' last nine points were from free throws as the shots didn't fall for Two Eagle and the Charlo rebounding Machine took over for the 63-53 win.
The Vikings moved to 12-0 but this was by far one of their closest matchups of the season.
