“So far we have really played well,” said SFT coach Jayson Duncan. “We have some things we need to work on defensively, especially in our presses, but for the most part we have been solid.”

The Lady Chargers continued their run with a pair of home games last week, the first time SFT has played two games in a week this season.

CARBONDALE—A young Santa Fe Trail team was competitive, but came up short of team wins in a pair of varsity home duals last week.

We wrestled pretty well, but experience is going to haunt us,” said SFT coach Regan Erickson. “I feel like we have made improvements from last week, and see no reason why we won’t continue to get better.”

The Chargers came up short in a 39-33 dual with Holton and a 46-28 dual win Jefferson West.
