The wins continue to pile up for Charlo's basketball teams as the second-ranked Vikings improved to 11-0 this week with a pair of wins while the No. 10 Lady Vikings also won a pair to get to 10-1.

The duo of Chance Rosenbaum and Dillon Delaney were too much for the visiting Red Devils Saturday as Charlo downed Noxon, 55-42. Rosenbaum scored 16 points to lead the Vikings in the win while Delaney added 13.

The game was a close battle in the opening half as Charlo built a 10-7 lead after eight minutes of play but Noxon answered with a 15-12 run in the second frame to knot the game at 22 at the half. Charlo was able to open up the game in the third quarter, using a 16-8 run to build a 38-30 advantage heading into the final frame. Red Devils were not done, though, as Noxon used free throws to get back into the game in the fourth. Noxon's Tyrell Wilkinson and Jordan Eichert combined to hit eight> free throws to cut the Charlo lead to three, but the Vikings were able to make their free throws down the stretch to secure the win.

Along with the double-digit scoring performances by Rosenbaum and Delaney, Kolton Andrews and Stephen Delaney each added nine points, Chico Stipe had five, Trae Ludeman scored two and Garrett Herron added one.

The Vikings had three players in double figures Tuesday in a 60-37 win at Plains as Dylan Delaney scored 15, Stephen Delaney added 14 and Rosenbaum poured in 11.

The second and third quarters were the difference in the contest as Charlo led 8-3 after one quarter before using a 37-18 run to build a 45-21 lead. Dylan Delaney scored 11 of his game-high 15 in the third as the Vikings outscored Plains 24-11.

Plains won the fourth-quarter battle 16-15 but could do nothing to cut into the Viking lead as Charlo picked up a 23-point victory.

Along with the three players in double figures, the Vikings almost had two more as Herron and Andrews each scored nine in the win. Tyler Delaney scored two.

Kinley Pope scored 15 points to the lead the Lady Vikings to a road win Saturday as Charlo picked up a 35-23 victory at Noxon. Charlo gradually built a 26-20 lead through three quarters before pulling away with a 9-3 run over the final eight minutes.

Along with Pope's 15 points, Jordan Ludeman scored seven for the Lady Vikings, Deondra Brown had five, Rachel Hoyt scored four and Kelsie Blevins and Royelle Esterby each scored two.

The Lady Vikings had little trouble picking up a win at home Tuesday as Charlo blew past visiting Plains, 42-20.

Pope scored seven of her game-high 11 points in the opening quarter as the Lady Vikings built a quick 15-4 lead. Plains used a 7-4 second-quarter run to cut the Charlo lead to 19-11 at the half before the Lady Vikings answered with a 6-0 run in the third. The Lady Vikings continued to pull away in the fourth quarter to pick up the win.

Pope led the way for the Lady Vikings with 11 points and 12 rebounds while Dawn Blevins and Brown each scored nine, Hoyt added seven, Esterby had four and Jessica Foust scored two.

The season continues for the Vikings Thursday as they play at Two Eagle River while both teams will be in action at home Friday against Hot Springs.
