Chargers battle to beat Walnut

The Charter Oak boys basketball team came from behind to beat Walnut High on Friday night 48-44. In what both teams knew would be a defensive contest, the Chargers got some critical stops in the closing minutes. Defensive stops paired with a difficult layup by Chase Evans and a clutch three pointer by Michael Anyanwu was enough to seal the victory. Jermaine Braddock led all scorers with 17 points and Michael Anyanwu and Chase Evans added 10 points a piece. The Chargers (16-7, 5-3) close league out with Chino and West Covina next week.
