Pearl City Chargers Head Coach Michael Morton is still looking for his team to improve as they make their way through the OIA Western Division schedule and down the road towards the play-offs.

"We just really need to work on our mental game. I mean, physically we're there, but mentally we have silly fouls, putting them on the line and stopping the clock, stuff like that. Just the mental game. Offensively take a little more patience instead of just pass and shoot. We need to work the ball around," said Morton.

Coach Morton had this comment when asked about the Chargers next opponent, "Our game coming up with Radford, we're going to pressure, play a lot of full court man. Hopefully get everybody in the game and just a lot of pressing, up tempo, that's how we play."
