Calling all 1992 Central Charger "State Champion" Football team members. Friday, November 18 @ 7 p.m. The 10-0 CHS Varsity Football Team will have their first home playoff game. It has been 30 years since the undefeated season when the 1992 State Champs beat Lebanon @ home 20-6 in the state championship game to claim the title. Come out and support the 2022 Chargers that just won the James River District Championship and completed the first undefeated season for CHS since 1995.
It is just like old times in Victoria with the crowds, cheerleaders, large marching band, and winning Chargers! The 2022 Cheerleaders are the West 1A regional champions and finished as state finalists ending up as 4th in the state in the 2A division! The 2022 Marching Band is amazing and has been performing regularly during halftime at Hampden Sydney football games. The 2022 golf team also won the regional championship this fall.
The 1992 team will join the player tunnel as the starters are announced and will also be recognized at halftime. Everyone can plan to gather near the end zone initially to mingle with your old teammates. Go Chargers!!! Post-game plans are also being set up… more to come on that. #LetsGoChargers #Charger Pride
