NOXON - Following a hard-fought, gritty win against Lake County

rival Two Eagle River, the Charlo Vikings couldn't quite get the

best of a very good Noxon team, falling for the first time all

season, 66-52.

Charlo hung tough with the hosts, trailing 15-10 after one and

24-22 at halftime, but the Red Devils blitzed the Vikings 17-8 in

the pivotal third quarter and staved them off in a high-scoring

fourth that saw the teams combine for 47 points.

NOXON - Following a hard-fought, gritty win against Lake County rival Two Eagle River, the Charlo Vikings couldn't quite get the best of a very good Noxon team, falling for the first time all season, 66-52.

Charlo hung tough with the hosts, trailing 15-10 after one and 24-22 at halftime, but the Red Devils blitzed the Vikings 17-8 in the pivotal third quarter and staved them off in a high-scoring fourth that saw the teams combine for 47 points.

Despite their first loss of the season, Charlo still stands at a very good 5-1 mark and will look to improve on that after the break.

Leading the team in scoring against Noxon was Kolten Andrews, with 17 points and Dillon Delaney with 15. Tra Ludeman joined them in double digits with 10 points followed by Stephen Delaney's six. Webb O'Neill and Tyler Delaney each added a pair for the Vikings.

Charlo will look to bounce back for the first time this season when they host Superior on Friday, Jan. 6.
