Chargers nip Tell City thanks to defensive lapses by Marksmen

TELL CITY - Pike Central took advantage of some Tell City lapses on defense and beat the Marksmen 65-64 in overtime in PAC boys basketball Thursday.

On paper the game appeared to be a huge mismatch in Tell City's favor. The Marksmen entered the game with a 13-5 record while Pike Central was 5-11 and had won just one PAC game - that by one point.

The Chargers had lost at home by 33 points to Southridge, a team Tell City beat on the road.

But the Chargers outshot Tell City from the field 52.4 percent to 43.4 percent and won the rebound battle 28-25.
