Simplified: The Sioux Falls Christian Chargers enter the season after going 12-0 last year en route to the school’s third state title. SFC has all the ingredients of another trip to the DakotaDome in November, and anything short of a state title would be a disappointment. 

Tell me the full story

There was a time when Sioux Falls Christian struggled to put a quality football product on the field. 

Those days are over.

After going 5-35 in its first five years of existence, the Chargers finally had a .500 season when they went 4-4 in 2014, and they were just getting started. They won back-to-back Class 11B titles in 2017 and 2018 under head coach Jake Pettengill. Pettengill resigned after the 2018 championship season, and turned the reins over to Jared Smith.

Last year, Smith led SFC to its third state championship – a Class 11A crown – and the school’s first undefeated season at 12-0. 

It seems very likely that the Chargers, again, are just getting started.
