The ACGC football team (8-0) capped off another undefeated regular season with a home win over Riverside (6-2) on Friday, Oct. 17. This secures the third straight district championship for ACGC. The key to slowing down the Bulldogs was to contain star running back, Jaxon Gordon. While it may not seem like 134 yards and two TDs is containing someone, Gordon averages 245 rushing yards per game. Add in the two-pronged rushing attack of Joe Crawford and Brexton Schenider, and the Chargers sailed to an easy victory. Crawford finished the game with 157 rushing yards and two TDs. Schneider had 126 yards and four TDs. Ryder Cline was also effective on the ground with 88 yards and two scores. There were no sacks for ACGC, but Angel Martinez led the team with 1.5 tackles for losses and five total tackles. ACGC also recovered four fumbles in this game and had one interception.
This takes the Chargers into the first round of the Class A playoffs against Logan-Magnolia (5-3) at home on Friday, Oct. 24. These teams have not met since 2017, when L-M came away with a 42-14 win. ACGC normally faces run-heavy teams, whereas Logan-Magnolia relies more on the passing game.
