Chargers Dominate Paint to Edge Casey by 3

The Hobart Chargers secured a narrow 78-75 victory over Casey on Sunday at Casey Stadium, holding off a late charge from the home team. Hobart's inside presence proved decisive with Ole Angerstein dominating the paint. The big man recorded a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds, shooting an efficient 61.5 percent from the field. Henry Makeny provided crucial scoring off the bench with 17 points, including going 6-for-7 from the charity stripe. The Chargers controlled the glass, outrebounding Casey 55-36, and converted at a much better rate from the field (47.4 percent compared to Casey's 35.8 percent). Casey stayed competitive through their three-point shooting, knocking down 11 triples to Hobart's six. Tyler Robertson led the Cavs with 15 points, while Nate Roberts contributed a double-double (13 points, 13 boards). Despite forcing 21 turnovers and scoring 12 points off those mistakes, Casey's poor free throw shooting (40 percent) ultimately cost them, with Preston Bungei particularly struggling at the line (1-of-6). **HOBART CHARGERS 78 (Ole Angerstein 20, Henry Makeny 17, William Cranston-Lown 12).** **CASEY 75 (Tyler Robertson 15, Nate Roberts 13, Preston Bungei 11).** #NBL1South #HobartChargers
