Jamisen Gill scored once and Joshua Hutton also scored. Camden Roberts and Rivers Higdon each had an assist. Bryan Taylor saved 18 of 25 shots in the game for the Chiefs.
Last Thursday the Chiefs traveled to Carolina Forest for their second region game with the Panthers. The Chiefs lost this time by an 11-2 score.
The Chiefs finished the week with a Saturday afternoon game with the visiting Laurence Manning Academy who were undefeated coming in and going out of The Hank. The Chiefs lost 8-4 to the Swampcats.
