The Chargers faced a rematch with the Devils for the closing game of the season. The Devils, were one of the few teams to beat the Chargers and came into this game undefeated – Would their streak be broken?

Just as in the first game, the Devils showed their strength – an incredible set of disciplined linemen that just fired off the snap and pretty much had their way with the Chargers. Both in the air and on the ground the Devils put the points on board early. Putting the Chargers down 15 – 0 at halftime.

The Chargers weren’t done yet though, coming out of halftime with fire in their hearts. Coach Matthew’s made some adjustments on defense that paid off, turning #9 Devin Massey into an animal, putting the pressure on the Devils QB and shutting the door on their running game, and helping my favorite player, Ryan Shaffer execute a critical defensive take-away and run it all the way back for the score.

With the momentum of the Defensive score, Coach Jason started moving his Offense with purpose and put another 7 on the board. The game really turned around and the Chargers were executing perfectly – Could Coach pull off two come-from-behind-wins in one day? Sadly no.

The final whistle of the season blew and found the Chargers still behind – but only in points. I think I speak for every parent out there when I say how truly proud we are of how these boys carried themselves, grew as a team, and played with every ounce of their soul – every game this season.

In the end its not all points and records but character that builds true Champions. – Well done boys!
