The Chiefs then hosted the Ballinger Bearcats (0-1) at home on Monday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. Lake View took advantage of several Bearcats' turnovers early and scored multiple fast break points.

Despite 14 missed free throws throughout the game, clutch defense late in the 4th quarter saved the Chiefs, and Lake View survived 37-36.
RJ Bohannon led the Chiefs with 16 points and four free throws in the 4th quarter.
