CANTON, OH - The Canton Charge (18-10) held off the Capital City Go-Go (14-15) with a 120-118 overtime victory in the Canton Memorial Civic Center on Saturday evening.

Levi Randolph followed with 21 points, seven boards and two steals. Two-Way Players Dean Wade and Matt Mooney were consistent with 18 and 15 points, respectively, while Sir'Dominic Pointer (15), J.P.
