The Sioux Falls Christian Chargers may not have finished the season with a state title, but it’s undeniable that Coach Jared Smith has built something special. Undefeated in the regular season and only falling in the title game, this team exemplifies excellence, resilience, and heart.

While we often measure success by championships, the true measure lies in the dedication of the players, the leadership of the coaching staff, and the unwavering support of the parents who sacrificed so much along the way.

Congratulations on an incredible season, Chargers. Your journey is a testament to the strength of your program, and the future looks bright! Keep building, keep growing, and keep inspiring!

“Having the privilege to watch so many athletes compete, it’s rare to witness a performance that truly stands out in the biggest game of the year. Earlier this season, after watching Boston Katzer take on Dell Rapids, I knew this kid was special,” said Tyler Knight.

In a high-stakes matchup against a talented Sioux Falls Christian team, Boston carried the weight of Lennox’s hopes on his shoulders—and delivered a performance for the ages. His talent, composure, and determination shone bright in a game that demanded everything he had.

“Boston Katzer will go on to do great things,” Knight added. Keep an eye on this young man—he’s just getting started!

41 Years in the Making 🏆

Lennox made history tonight, taking down the undefeated Chargers 14-6 to claim their first championship since 1982! 🔥

With a relentless, physical defense that forced multiple turnovers, the Orioles set the tone early and never let up. Leading the charge was Boston Katzer, who put on a performance for the ages. Katzer threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns, but his impact didn’t stop there—he delivered on defense with two interceptions and a fumble recovery, earning him Joe Robbie MVP honors.

This team has rallied together all season, proving that heart, grit, and determination can overcome any obstacle. Congratulations to Lennox on an unforgettable championship run! 🏈👏
