Chargers Rebound, Charge Over Eagles
After a tough, overtime loss to the Eastern View Cyclones a week ago, the Chancellor Chargers came into Friday night's game with their minds set on getting back in the win column. The Liberty Eagles, coming off of two consecutive losses, were looking to upset a powerful Chancellor team.
Early on in the first quarter, the Chargers forced a turnover on downs to grab the ball already half way towards their destination. And two plays later, it was C.J Washington with a 52 yard touchdown reception over the middle to spark the Charger's offense. Liberty responded with a much better drive without even passing the ball to tie it up at 7. After some good defense on both teams, Old Dominion commit E.J Jenkins broke the tie with an impressive catch in the end zone to erase the two dropped passes from earlier in the drive.
The defense continued to provide for the Chargers, forcing another turnover on downs which resulted in points for the Chargers. The Eagles defense and offense continued to struggle, as three and outs seemed common place for them throughout the night. E.J Jenkins scored another touchdown in the final seconds of the first half by stretching his arms into the end zone.
The Chargers started with the ball in the second half, and were quick at putting more points on the board as senior quarterback Jason Brown made a physical rushing touchdown to bring his total to 2 rushing touchdowns on the night. With a consistent running attack and impressive passing game led by Jason Brown and E.J Jenkins, the Chargers quickly put the game out of reach for the Eagles.
The Chargers ran the ball all the way into the red zone as the clock ticked down with some impressive runs. As the clock hit zero, though, it was Chancellor who more than came out on top with a final score of Chancellor Chargers 51, Liberty 14.
There were also many other Chargers who put up impressive numbers against Liberty. C.J Washington had a dominate night as both a receiver and a punt returner, racking up impressive yardage. Though Lovell Amstead did not have the flashy 200 yard night like weeks in the past, he still was impressive at breaking multiple tackles and picking up plenty of first downs. Daniel Ford, late in the fourth quarter, provided an incredible pick six just to add more padding to the Charger lead. Lastly, defensively the Charger defensive line had a great night sacking Liberty's quarterback on multiple occasions not letting any large passing plays ever develop.
Next week is the Chancellor Charger's (3 - 1) bye week, but the following week they travel to James River High School to take on the Rapids (2 - 1).The Liberty Eagles (0 - 3) will head back home to take on Kettle Run.
