"We put forth our best defensive effort of the year, but weren't able to find the points on the offensive end tonight,” commented Underwood Head Coach Evan Meece. “We need to bring that same effort defensively moving forward and our offensive shots will start to drop too. It was great to see Krosby and Joey come out and put forth such a great effort on Senior Night. I am proud of the way they were leaders by example on the court and they also lead by example off the court. I want to thank Joey and Krosby for their captainship this year and for all their hard work over the years. They have been great leaders for the younger kids in the program."
The win snapped an eighth game losing skid for the Chargers. Brandon-Evansville (5-10) will host Swanville on Saturday afternoon.
Underwood will play at Hillcrest on Saturday afternoon.
