The ACGC Chargers have had an incredible season thus far. The Chargers head into the regular season finale being a perfect 7-0 on the year following last week’s 42-18 win over Mount Ayr. The Chargers got off to a slow start only lead 7-6 after the first quarter. In the second quarter the Charger offense exploded for three consecutive touchdown drives to push the lead to 28-18 over the Raiders. The Chargers offense has been a ground and pound team all year long running the triple option offense. Head Coach Cody Mattewson has his Charger offense in the top of the state in rushing. Matthewson gives credit to the players for it being a collective effort and not relying on just one guy to carry the rock.

Matthewson gives a lot of credit to the offensive line for being a disciplined group and making the holes for the Charger runners to break off big carries.

This season has been a big change for the Chargers compared to last season. Last year the Chargers graduated their top three rushers and several key members up front on the line. But Coach Matthewson said what makes this group so special is the willingness to do whatever is asked of them at any point of the game. Coach Cody Matthewson said his kids just want one thing, and that is to win!

This week in the regular season finale the Chargers go on the road to Southwest Valley to take on a 2-5 Timberwolves team. Although the Chargers have a playoff spot locked up they aren’t looking forward to that and know they have to finish the season on a positive note and carry that momentum forward. Coach Matthewson said he believes the mentality that his team has on a day-to-day basis will give them a chance to win every night.

ACGC Chargers on the road at Southwest Valley Timberwolves Friday night at 7:00pm. Listen to the full interview with Head Coach Cody Matthewson below.
