GRAHAM — The Chatham Charter boy’s middle school team put the wraps on a perfect 17-0 season with a 45-30 whipping of River Mill in the Mid-State Conference finals in Graham.

Adam Harvey pumped in a game-high 24 points to lead the Knights, including 16 in the second half as the locals blew the game open in the fourth period with a 16-4 run.

Chatham Charter led precariously 8-7 after one quarter of play as Harvey scored four baskets for the locals, and A.J. McClary four points for the Jaguars, and Kris Barnwell a trey.

In the second, Jackson Brown would tally six points, including going 2-for-2 at the charity stripe, to spark an 11-7 advantage in the frame for the Knights, and ultimately a 19-14 lead at the break.

Barnwell sank another three-pointer on the way to five points for River Mill in the second.

The Jaguars would rally in the third behind a pair of Barnwell treys to close to within 29-26 entering the fourth.

Eight points from Harvey kept the locals in the lead.

Harvey would add eight more in the fourth and Amir Mapp chipped in four more, and Noah Snyder three as Chatham Charter exploded for the 16-4 run to put River Mill away and add the tournament title to the regular season crown.
