The Chariton Charger football team will try to get another win this week when they travel to Winterset to take on the Huskies.
Chariton enters the game at 1-3 and 0-2 in the District while Winterset is 2-2 and 1-1 in the District. Chariton is coming off a 35-21 homecoming loss to Oskaloosa and Winterset is coming off a 43-12 loss at Carlisle.
Chariton Head Coach Curt Smyser said that Winterset is a lot like Chariton in that they're not super big and they don't have great team speed.
Coach Smyser said that Winterset likes to run the ball and they line up in several different formations including the wildcat formation, double tight, and an I formation.
They like to run the ball right at you. They're not super big on their offensive line. They have a couple of good sized kids but they're nothing like Norwalk or Oskaloosa.
Winterset doesn't throw the ball a lot but when they do, their quarterback, Jacob Larson, is pretty accurate.
Chariton will line up in a five-man front and a four-man front defensivley.
Offensively, Chariton will try to run the ball and pick their spots where to throw it. They will try to run it primarily with tailback Stephen McCurdy and quarterback Christian Bengtson.
Chariton goes into the game healthy with just one player who will be out. Chasen Blue will be out with a hip injury.
