Five different players scored during the run, including 3-pointers from junior Herbie Brown and sophomore Jason Kuntzelman.

The Chargers maintained their lead through the rest of the quarter and Herbie Brown's jumper with four seconds to play in the half gave Lancaster Bible a 39-26 lead after 20 minutes of play.

The Chargers maintained their 20-point lead the rest of the way and a jumper by Danny Jackson in the final minute produced the final score.

The Coach Says: "We did things better offensively today," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Zach Filzen said. "We had good ball movement and got to the rim, some things we have been talking about for a while. I liked that we had balanced scoring and got contribution from lots of guys and I think there are still things we can improve on both offensively and defensively. We have to use this win to help us get ready for a couple of big games next week."
