In the second half, Lennox engineered an 81-yard drive to extend the lead back out to 10, but it was all Chargers the rest of the way.

After a big interception by the Charger defense, the team scored on a 1-play drive to cut the lead to 3 with 5:46 to play in the third, and would score the games only points in the 4th quarter.

Sioux Falls Christian put together an epic 11 play, 95-yard drive that consumed 4:07 of game time, and culminated with a Canyon Prins to Jude Prins Touchdown pass to take the lead at 28-24.

Sioux Falls Christian had four different players score in the win on Saturday, and Quarterback Cooper Strande threw for 154 yards and touchdown.

The Chargers finish the season a perfect 13-0 and State Champions in Class 11A.
