ARVADA, CO — By Dennis Pleuss for CHSAANow.com/JeffCo. Chatfield football improved to 2-0 in the Class 4A Jeffco League late Friday afternoon by leaning heavily on its run game.
Chatfield (5-2) primarily used its running attack to take a 36-19 victory over Golden at the North Area Athletic Complex. The Chargers’ running back tandem of senior Hunter Barnes and junior Malcolm Boyd carried the majority of the load.
“One of our strengths is we have a big offensive line. Hunter and Malcolm are both great running backs,” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin said. “The only thing that really stopped us was those turnovers.”
