The Charger Football team would like to thank these sponsors who provide a light pre-game meal before JV & Varsity away games and ensure that all of our players are fueled up and ready to go for game time! In just a couple of weeks, the Culinary Arts III students will take on the responsibility of prepping these meals as part of their curriculum and culinary training. So these sponsorships actually help both our athletes and our classrooms.

We wanted to make everyone aware that tonight's VB will still be streamed on NFHS Network, BUT unfortunately will still have a foggy view to it. We learned on Monday that the lens has condensation on the inside. We hoped it would have been resolved by tonight's game but has not and a new unit has been shipped and the camera will be replaced soon. Thank you!
