The ACGC Chargers had a very similar start to the girls on the night as they would jump to a fast start fueled by a 2-1-2 full court press that allowed the Chargers to race out to a 10-2 lead just a minute into the game. The Chargers would have a 27-9 lead going into the second quarter where senior leader for the Chargers Lance Bunde exploded offensively. Bunde got it going from all three levels on the floor by taking it strong to the basket, using a couple nice shot fakes into his one dribble pull up, and of course hitting two long balls in the quarter. Bunde closed the first half by hitting two free throws, forcing a steal with less than five seconds remaining, and racing into the front court where he hit a 26-foot three pointer to take a 42-20 lead into the halftime break.

But the Vikings would not just quit as the came out firing on all cylinders in the third quarter as Luke Strenberg put the whole offense on his back to start and scored 16 of his 22 points in the third quarter and the Vikings even cut the Chargers lead all the way down to 11. But Noah Kading would stop any momentum the Vikings had when he converted on a four-point play and pushed the lead right back to 15 and allowed the Chargers to breathe a little easier. Head Coach of the ACGC Chargers Nick Kading said he knew that AHSTW was a very scrappy team.

The Chargers would go on to a hard fought 65-46 win on the road over the Vikings. Head Coach Nick Kading said the Chargers like to play fast but some of their early shots in the shot clock helped lead into the Vikings making a little come back in the third and fourth quarters.

The Chargers now improve to 4-1 on the season as the Vikings fall to 2-3.
