Published 12:00 am Wednesday, March 14, 2007

CHESAPEAKE — A little oil, please.

With the offenses struggling, the South Point Pointers managed to edge the Chesapeake Panthers 41-35 Friday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

“It was one of those grind out wins,” Pointers coach Gary Norris said. “Neither team could get much going offensively. Neither team shot the ball well.”
