Chargers Dominate Sherrard
By: Garrett Jacobs
The Chargers picked up their first win of the season with a huge 46–6 victory over the Sherrard Tigers on August 28. After a tough loss to Mendota in the season opener, Orion came into the game ready to bounce back.
The Chargers came out strong on both sides of the ball. Orion’s offense was able to move the ball consistently and put up points, while the defense did a great job of limiting Sherrard’s offense. By halftime, the Chargers had already built a big lead winning 27-0 and continued to add to it in the second half.
Orion finished the game with 46 points while holding Sherrard to just six. The win moved the Chargers to 1–1 on the season and gave the team some confidence heading into week three.
The Chargers will look to keep the momentum going as they play the Hall Red Devils this week.
