XC

10/17 - On Saturday your XC Chargers raced on a wet muddy course in the Kent / Ottawa Championships at Gainey Fields. The kids were up against division 1&2 schools in Kent county. They had fun with it and raced hard in the tough conditions the Lord in His perfect plan had them running in. The boys took 4th place in the meet with Levi Kamps, Nick Lubbers, Mason Schimmell, and Luke Dykstra taking home top 20 medals. The girls finished 7th in their race with Amber Koole finishing 5th overall. Our teams are primed and ready to run their best races as we head toward the finish and our championship season. It's SENIOR WEEK! So as we get back to work this week we celebrate and thank them for their good Christian example and all the time, work, & energy they have given to our teams these last four years! We have been blessed by them!

Covenant falls to Calvin in a thriller!

10/18 - On a cold blustery rainy afternoon the Chargers went on the road to take on the Calvin Christian Squires in the opening game for the MHSAA soccer playoffs.  Both teams struggled a bit early on with the windy conditions and slippery grass but Covenant was able to put some early pressure on the Calvin defense but unable to put the ball in the goal.  The momentum soon switched to the Squires who were able to capitalize on a couple of Charger miscues to grab a two goal lead. (16:35 and 10:07).  The Chargers ended the half with a flurry of opportunities, yet the Squire's goalie turned away the shots to help Calvin hold a 2-0 lead at the half.

The Squires were able to add a third goal on another Charger foul at the 26:42 mark of the second half and seemingly had control of the game.  However, the Chargers did not go away quietly but turned up the pressure immensely on the Calvin defense to pull within one goal.  At the 21:13 mark, following a Calvin foul, Aiden Cnossen found Jonny Kuiper with a perfectly placed pass for a header to make it 3-1.  Despite wave after wave of offensive attacks by the Chargers, the Chargers did not score again til the 6:51 mark when Travis Holstege found Derek Gritters with a crossing pass and Derek's shot found the back of the net to make it 3-2.  The Chargers still kept the ball pressure on the Squire defense/goalie but were unable to come up with the equalizer and lost 3-2 to end the season.  

The Chargers finished the year with a record of 6-11-3 but also created many great memories of their time together.  A big "THANK YOU!" to coaches Mike Noorman, Shawn Griess, and Sam Lubbers for working and guiding these young men during the 2022 season. Final Record 6-11-3
