The North Montgomery boys soccer team kicked off their 2009 season in solid fashion with an easy 7-0 victory over visiting Carroll. The match was the first on the new, wider home field for the Chargers. The field appeared to be in good shape for being so new with the only drawback being it is about 27 miles from the parking lot and I forgot to bring my pack mule with me.

The Chargers do not have a lot of players but those who are on the team are experienced and have talent across the board. If their conditioning holds up they should be competitive for the season.

Jordan Galloway and Reese Oliver each had two goals in the victory and Bryan Swift, Joey Clifton and Todd Mellish also contributed goals. Mellish, normally a senior defensive staple, scored his first career goal when exhaustion forced the Chargers to make some player rotations late in the match.

The victory was a good start to the season for the Chargers and will serve them well as they prepare for a trip to Lafayette on Thursday to battle Central Catholic.
