The Shadow
NARROWS – The Bath County boys basketball team played Giles County Friday night in a tournament at Narrows High School and fell 81-69.
The Chargers got off to a slow start and trailed the Spartans 47-23 at the half.
Matt Quantz had a breakout game in the loss, recording a 23-point, 15-rebound double-double, while Thomas Shrader added 18 and Jonah Ford finished with 10. Aaron Newmarker added 10 rebounds for the Chargers.
“We just got off to a slow start, but I thought we picked up the intensity in the second half,” said Bath County coach Steve Shaver. “Xavier Smothers had an outstanding game defensively in the second half for us.”
The Chargers fall to (0-5) on the season and will be back in action tonight at Narrows High School. The Chargers will host their first home game next Thursday when they entertain the Riverheads Gladiators.
Action will begin at 6 p.m. with the junior varsity game.
