Varsity Football : King George Foxes vs. Chancellor Chargers
Friday night was another showcase for a sturdy Chancellor Chargers defense, which only allowed 63 total combined yards against a King George Foxes team that has shown all year to have a devastating offense and running game. The Chargers held that running game in check however, and rode on another great performance by Senior Quarterback Jason Brown to shutout the Foxes 42 - 0.
"It feels like we are a part of the history," Chargers Senior E.J. Fields spoke after the game. "It feels great that I was able to fight with my brothers, it's awesome. We've been fighting this whole season, fighting since we were freshman." E.J. Fields was part of a powerful defense that silenced the Foxes.
Early on in the first quarter, Brown tossed his first gem of the night with a thirty yard touchdown pass to Junior Brandon Johnson. It was a rough start for Brown with some incompletions, but he was able to get it under control and find his targets. After the defense forced a three and out, the offense was back on the field and the Chargers quickly found their way into the end-zone again. Brown tossed the ball to Senior E.J. Jenkins down the sideline, who then made a devastating cut to find only open field in front of him and run seventy-three yards for a touchdown.
With only two minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Chargers found a way to charge down the field on the back of their Junior Running-back Lovell Armstead who made impressive cuts to get them into scoring position. Then, Brown took it in himself with an eight yard run that made it 21-0. To end the half, Senior Yetur Matos found his way through the offensive line and punished the Foxes' quarterback sending the Chargers booming into the second quarter.
The Chargers' defense didn't waste much time in the second quarter to show their dominance again, as Senior George Brown recorded a sack of his own to kill any chance of a Foxes' drive. The Foxes then muffed the punt, adding on to their long list of mistakes on the night and giving the Chargers good starting position.
The Chargers took advantage of this, and Jenkins found himself putting up six points for the second time of the night with a nine yard touchdown pass from Brown. The Chargers offense even continued to roll after going up 28-0, but interceptions in the end-zone cost them points and kept them from running up the score early. Senior Ruben Niamien and Sophomore Damonte Pratt both had interceptions of their own however, which stalled the Foxes' offense. After Niamien's interception, the Chargers were able to head into the half with a comfortable 28-0 lead.
The Charger defense started off the second half forcing another three and out, continuing to show their overwhelming presence. Both Matos and George Brown were able to pick up their second sacks of the night in the third quarter. The defense also made two big 4th down stops, both on plays where the Foxes only needed a yard or two but couldn't push it across.
The Chargers continued to play great offense, as Jenkins caught his third touchdown pass of the night from Brown, giving the Chargers a 35-0 lead. The Chargers were able to shake off a bunch of flags that had been hurting them all night, showing the ability to get over their mistakes and focus on the next play.
As the fourth quarter came along, the Chargers quickly put seven more points on the board with a thirty-four yard touchdown pass from Brown, who was falling backwards, to Senior Deshawn Parish. This capped off and ended an incredible night for Brown, who recorded 6 touchdowns.
"I treat every week like it could be our last," Brown said after the game. "We wanted that home playoff game and knew we needed to execute on offense. They stopped us on a few drives.. but the defense stepped up big."
The Chargers ended up winning 42-0. This is a huge win for the team, as they clinched the Battlefield Region and a home playoff game. Next week they will head on the road to face the Spotsylvania Knights and close out their regular season.
