The “B” game was led by Michael Runyan with 16 points followed by Trevor Graham with four and Damon Hoffman added three for the team.
“The boys played a tough game against Chariton. I was very happy to see the boys move the ball around to the open guy for the score,” said Coach Alan Huisman.

During the “A” game Centerville won with a final score of 50-39 behind the efforts of Gonnerman with 14 points followed by Starcevich with 11 and Armington with 10. Faris put up eight points on the scoreboard.
“The boys played a good game against E-B. It was the toughest game we had all year. They are a good team. We moved the ball around well as a team and all the players contributed some pionts in the game. We will need to move the ball around well agasint Osky and play a solid defense to come out with a win,” said Huisman.
The boys will play Oskaloosa today with the “A” game starting at 4:15 p.m. followed by the “B” and “C” games.
