CHARLO — After starting the season 2-3, the Charlo boys basketball team had a chance at a third consecutive win against a tough Noxon team Saturday night.

Tied at 40-40 late in the third, they needed a spark.

Senior guard Phil Marquez obliged, hitting three 3-pointers in just over a minute to give the Vikings some much needed momentum heading down the stretch en route to a 61-52 conference win.

It was the second win over Noxon for the Vikings (5-3) in less than a week, and now they’re looking to extend their season with a few more wins.

Roper Edwards scored a game-high 18 points and Marquez finished with 17 for Charlo.

Stetson Reum scored 10 points and pulled down 13 rebounds for a double-double.

Keaton Piedalue contributed seven points, and Wesley Anderson added six.

Stetson Reum scored 11 points to lead Charlo, which also got nine points each from Roper Edwards and Wesley Anderson.

Phil Marquez and Keaton Piedalue each scored eight.
