Chariton 20 Creston 50
On a hot and sweaty late summer night, the Chariton Charger football team began their season with a 50-20 loss to Creston at Reynolds Field in Chariton August 30th. The Chargers had an early 7-0 lead following a 65 yard punt return for a touchdown by Stephen McCurdy and Chariton trailed just 13-7 at halftime. However Creston's superior depth especially along the defensive line wore Chariton down in the second half to help the Panthers get the convincing win.
Chariton suffered a big injury as starting senior quarterback Christian Bengtson was on the receiving end of a helmet to helmet hit and went down with 8:19 left in the third quarter. Bengtson was knocked completely out for awhile after it happened. There was no penalty called on the play and Bengtson suffered a concussion and will be out for this week's game at Ft. Madison.
The lack of a call on the helmet-to-helmet play involving Bengtson was one of a number of bad calls that went against Chariton on the night. Another occurred late in the second quarter with Chariton holding a 7-6 lead. Creston was driving and their quarterback, Brandon Phipps, threw what was an apparent touchdown pass to Alex Nielsen from the Charger 13 yard line. However, Chariton Head Coach Curt Smyser said that after watching the play on film that the pass was actually dropped and wasn't a touchdown and shouldn't have counted.
Another questionable call came in the third quarter shortly after Storm replaced Bengtson. On a third and 16 play from the Charger 20, Storm ran with the ball and after he was down, fumbled it and Creston's Maxx Walters picked it up and ran it in for a 26 yard touchdown. The score shouldn't have counted but the referees didn't call it back and it stood, giving the Panthers a 26-7 lead at the time.
Backup Quinn Storm came in to replace Bengtson and did well in relief going 10-15 for 238 yards and two touchdowns and one interception. Chariton was trailing 18-7 when Bengtson went out. Before he went out, Bengtson was 1-2 for 10 yards on the night. Storm will start this week's game at Ft. Madison.

"The kids played great for the first game of the year. Most of the kids had to play both ways all night and they really gave it everything. Defensively, we gave up lots of yards but made some big stops when it counted. It was a good way to start the year. Dillon had an outstanding night running the ball. He has a great ability to find the hole and explode through it" Chariton JV Head Coach Josh Snook said.
