The only day Chancellor athletics gets off this week will be Monday, and after that the schedule is packed with big match-ups for all sports. Chargers Field Hockey looks to build off last week's’ encounters with Spotsylvania and Courtland, as they take on some conference foes. Chargers Volleyball looks to improve on their even record, with two of three games against schools inside their conference. Lastly, to round off a big week for Chancellor, the Varsity football team will head on the road to face a five win James Monroe team that is currently leading their region.
Tuesday night will features the Field Hockey Chargers’ lone home game this week against James Monroe. The field hockey team will look to climb back into the win column to try and right a wrong record to get into the playoffs that start in a couple weeks. Seniors Tess Hogan and Lilly Church will look to lead their team into finding a way to control the ball which has been plaguing them all year. Goalie Naiomi Nichols has had an outstanding year so far considering how much time opponents have spent in Chargers territory, so look for her to continue to show that success this week. The very next day they will turn around and head to King George to play a rain make-up game under the lights, against a tough King George opponent. This Wednesday night game will be a must-win for the Chargers if they will look to be productive in the postseason, and to gain some momentum to build off of. To end the week, the Chargers will head on the road again Friday night to play Caroline to round off a long weekend.
Just like Field Hockey, Chargers Volleyball will open up their triple-header week against a struggling James Monroe team at home. The varsity volleyball squad is sitting right at a 6 - 6 record right now, and this would be a good week to climb out of .500 and produce a winning record. A James Monroe squad that hasn’t won a game this year will start the Chargers’ week off, and they will look to start it well after sweeping this James Monroe team back in September. On the following night the Chargers will head to King George to take on a team that has also shown it’s struggles this year. The Chargers will have to stay focused however, as playing on back-to-back nights can be rough. To end off the week, and three straight days with games, the Chargers will get back on a bus and head to Caroline to face an opponent they swept earlier in the year and has also been struggling to find it’s footing. The Chargers Volleyball team has a very good chance of sweeping the week with wins if they can stay focused and come into every night with renewed energy.
Chargers Varsity and Junior Varsity Football has the opportunity to turn in some great games this week as well. An encouraging 3 - 1 Junior Varsity team will host James Monroe Wednesday night looking to improve on their home record. Varsity football, however, will play a game with playoff implications on Friday night. They will face a tough road test against a 5 - 1 James Monroe team that has already proven they are looking at a playoff run this year. Chancellor will look to pull themselves back into first place with a big win, but they’ll need to show the same energy on defense they did this previous week against Courtland and continue to stay healthy. Quarterback Jason Brown will look to break Chancellor’s TD record as well, as he is only two away from breaking it. The Chargers will also look to hold on to the ball, facing an opponent that forced four turnovers against Caroline.
