Chargers Look to Upset No. 3-Seeded Bluejays in Playoff Opener
The Cherryvale Chargers closed the regular season with a 35-12 loss to the Riverton Rams last Friday, finishing the year with a 4-4 record under head coach Harry Hester. A win would have moved the Chargers into third place in their district and earned them a more favorable seed in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs; however, a second-half surge from Riverton prevented Cherryvale from finishing the regular season at 5-3. The Chargers were without starting quarterback Remington John on Friday after he suffered an injury against Humboldt in Week 7. Hestersays it has been a next-man-up mentality, with players stepping into new roles as teammates recover from injuries.
