Millwood Vs Heritage Hall

Agreed, dtrain. The Chargers have historically racked up a lot of penalties, many of which are related to underclassmen making mental mistakes: losing track of the count and jumping offsides, going into motion too soon, and holding -- lots of holding penalties. An early Charger touchdown was called back last night for holding. So yes, Heritage Hall was a little sloppy, a bit careless with the football . . . and still I was encouraged. A lot of our freshmen and sophomores were pressed into service last night because of injuries and cramping to starters, and their "big game" experience will pay handsome dividends as the year unfolds. All credit to Millwood for being a talented and well coached team that played with poise down the stretch, reclaiming the lead and ultimately sealing the victory; but I'm confident now that these young Chargers can play some football and hang with some of the perennial powers on our schedule this year. Meanwhile, and as I've posted elsewhere, I'm more than pleased to let John Marshall or Kingfisher or Plainview (or Alabama) wear the #1 target on their backs for a while. We don't need the burden or deserve the accolade just now.
