Chargers Earn Three Home Wins Friday Night
It was a busy night on the Arete campus Friday night, and the Chargers came away with three wins over visiting teams.
The womens varsity soccer team downed Heritage-Laveen on a 2nd half Lille Whitehead penalty kick, her second goal of the young season. The Chargers dominated possession and shots, but couldn't break through until the decisive PK. Tania Davidson filled in for the injured Helen Letizia in goal and earned a 2 save shutout.
In JV basketball action, Chris Akpede was the hero as he hit a game winning three pointer with seven seconds left to lift the Chargers to a 33-31 win vs. Rancho Solano.
The womens varsity basketball team rolled to their second straight win versus NFL YET, 51-8. Kayla Parsons had 16 points and 8 steals in her home debut for the Chargers. Rachel Garver had 7 points and 3 assists off the bench.
The mens varsity basketball team made a second half push but couldn't quite complete the comeback versus NFL YET, falling 51-48. Junior Brandon Fish had another big game, with 27 points and 8 rebounds. Owen Kremer chipped in with 10 points.
