The Chargers struggled against a very fast and talented Pella team in its District Opener at Reynolds Field on September 9, 2011. Chariton Varsity team was riddled with injuries. The Chargers played hard and valiantly but couldn't quite match up in a 47-0 loss to the Little Dutch. Chargers overall are 0-1 in District play.Due to hand injuries suffered by Chariton starting tailback, Brendan Laing, and converted tailback Turner Trenary, the Chargers tried a tailback by committee approach that included Matt Schultz, Token Hall, Stephen McCurdy and Lucas Heaverlo. Pella had just one turnover, which ws an interception by Chariton's Chasen Blue. Blue made a great pick and returned the ball to the Little Dutch 31 but on the very next play, Schultz fumbled it away giving the ball back to Pella. Individual Stats: Rushing -Schultz 17-32; receiving - Schultz 1-3; tackles - Carroll 5 assists, Peterson 3 solos, 4 assists, Chasen Blue - 1 solo, 1 assist, 1 interception; Wright 1 solo, 5 assists.
