POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (SMNS) -- The New Madrid County Central Eagles kept pace early with 3-point shots but lost on the road Tuesday night in SEMO Conference play.

"We don't want to take any steps back this time of year, so hopefully we can tighten some things up as we move forward."

Clarkton led 28-21 at the half and was able to hold off the Chargers in the final two stanzas.

"I always know playing against Coach Wes (Richardson) that it will be a battle. His kids always seem to play hard and that's a testament to his program."

Jon McCrary dropped in 15 for Delta C-7 as Matt Hoskins added 10.
