 Phoenix Rising FC Community Night 

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Phoenix Rising game Saturday night! We ended up with 63 students, parents, teachers, and coaches at the game. A late goal gave Rising a 1-0 win and their 18th consecutive victory! 
CarLife Charger of the Week (9/2-9/7):
Noah McClelland- Varsity Football 

Noah persevered through injury and cramping throughout the game Friday night, to catch 5 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers 40-24 win over Baboquivari. He also racked up 9 tackles in leading a strong defensive team effort. Noah leads by example and his effort and competitive attitude help set the tone for the 2019 Chargers, who are off to a 2-1 start. 
Congratulations Noah, our first COTW for 2019!
