ACGC looking to advance to State Semi-Finals
The ACGC have had a perfect season up to this point. The Chargers advanced into the quarterfinals this week by defeating Lynville-Sully 29-8 last Friday night. The Chargers got off to a slow start on the cold and windy Friday evening but were able to push 15 points onto the board in the third quarter to push their lead to 29-0 before Lynville-Sully then scored late to avoid being shutout. The Chargers got contributions from every player who stepped on the field. The Chargers were led by the rushing attack of Mike Fuller who had 160 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries, Anthany Solorzano who had 110 yards on 17 carries, and Jathan South who had 60 yards but punched in two touchdowns. The Chargers total for the game had 60 carries, 360 yards, and 4 touchdowns. This is nothing new for the Chargers as they have just 4 total pass attempts in their last 4 games played. Head Coach Cody Matthewson credits the offensive line and receivers for buying into the system that they play and all 11 guys on the field doing their job.

Coach Matthewson was very happy with how his team came out and played and blocking out some of the outside noise that has started around this Chargers team the deeper they continue to advance.

Now that the Chargers are onto the quarterfinals this week where they will play the 10-0 Madrid Tigers in a heavy weight fight to advance to the semi-final held at the UNI dome. This match is a bit close and personal for Head Coach Cody Matthewson as his dad coached at Madrid for 23 years, he played his high school ball for the Tigers and says he knows everything about this Tigers team.

Both the Chargers and the Tigers play very similar styles of football wanting to pound the run game and trying to avoid throwing the football. The Chargers have just 4 passes over their last 4 games and the Tigers have just 10 pass attempts over their last four games. This is going to be a game where it comes down to the very end in a tough physical battle and Coach Matthewson knows that every yard will matter in this heavy weight fight.

With so much on the line Friday night this will be one of the best games around the State of Iowa. Only one of these teams can move on to the semifinals at the UNI dome next week and more than likely this game will come down to the final possession of the night. The Chargers and Tigers kick off at 7:00pm at the Guthrie Center with the pregame show starting at 6:00pm here on KJAN.
