The Chargers advance to the top tier Mount Hamilton league of the BVAL super league. Tom Felt FS/WR, Joe Grammatico OL, Josh Laplante DE, and Matt Machado LB represents the returning talent. The line and defensive backs are strong. The skill players are young but very talented. The team participated in two competitive edge camps to prepare for this season. Coach Mike Carrozzo previewed his take on the Charger season. "Our goals are to be competitive in every game, make the playoffs, and hopefully make a run at a section title. I believe we will be stronger than last year's 7-3 team, primarily because of our strength and conditioning program, and the fact that we have retained the same coaching staff and scheme," said Carrozzo.
