The Chargers came out on top against the Railroaders by a score of 17-6.

Lakeland better keep an eye on Dustin Richardson. He was instrumental in West Noble's win, rushing for 32 yards and a pair of scores. Richardson also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing one fumble and making two total tackles.
