Thursday night, the varsity team played against Nelson County at Nelson County. The end score was 2-1, East. “The game was a very fast and physical game. It was back and forth and neither team could get enough momentum to score. Until finally we got through and got two goals,” said senior Zak Perdew. Perdew scored both goals for the chargers. He felt that they played pretty well but also mentioned that they have a good amount of people out. 

Senior Devon Newton and Wright are now both injured and Evan Ekubundit and senior Garret Anderson have been suspended. Ekubundit will be able to come back shortly but Anderson is out until further notice. Freshman Gabe Brangers will be goalie in Anderson’s absence.
