Chantilly fullback Marcus Bartley took the Chargers first handoff Friday night against Hayfield and disappeared into a cloud of white-clad defenders. When he came out of that same cloud in the end zone, 11 plays and 58 yards later, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound senior had the Hawks playing catch-up before their potent offense set foot on the Chantilly turf.

Bartley carried the ball nine times on the opening drive, each time attacking the teeth of the Hayfield defense inside. In doing so, the Chargers neutralized highly-touted linebacker Ian Pleasant en route to a 28-0 pasting of the Hawks.

"I didn't know I'd be getting the call that often until tonight, when we noticed that they spread out their inside linebackers to help contain our outside running," Bartley said. "We wanted to take it straight at Pleasant, to keep his speed from becoming a factor, and our line did a great job coming off the ball."

Last week, the Chargers chewed up T.C. Williams on the ground, boosted by the perimeter speed of halfback Anthony Cordero. Against Hayfield, Cordero tallied 113 yards on 10 carries, thanks to a 91-yard second-quarter scoring sprint up the middle, but it was Bartley's 18-carry, 100-yard effort that demoralized Hayfield.

"We're equally adept at running inside and out," Chantilly coach Ken Kincaid said. "Based on what we saw on film, we felt our best shot would be to attack the inside, which enabled us to control the clock and keep their offense off the field."

The Hayfield offense got on the field, but didn't stay there very long. Six of the Hawks' 10 possessions ended in turnovers, including two fumbles inside the Charger 10-yard line. The Hawks got a steady diet of Chantilly's power running game early on, then faltered later in the game with two red-zone turnovers.

"The [turnovers] changed the game completely," Chantilly defensive coordinator Chris Haddock said. "If they score on either of those possessions, we'd be looking at an entirely different team."

Surprisingly, the Hawks seemed to play right into Chantilly's strengths by employing a conventional pro-I formation through much of the game.

Haddock's two main concerns coming in were Hayfield's explosive speed and the right arm of quarterback Kyle Morgan, neither of which became a factor.

"We knew they were fast, so we had to read our keys like the coaches told us to outsmart their speed," said Charger corner Darrell Davis, who ended the Hawks first drive of the second half by returning an interception 30 yards and setting up the fourth and final Chantilly touchdown.

As a result, Morgan, who was banged up last week against Herndon and didn't play until the second quarter on Friday, completed just 4-of-11 passes for 33 yards, with all four completions being quick slants and screens. The four times he and fellow quarterback Carlo Sandiego tried going downfield in the face of swarming Charger pressure resulted in four Chantilly interceptions, including two in the fourth quarter by cornerback Kalvin Jackson.

After Chantilly's opening scoring drive and Cordero's long run midway through the second quarter, the Chargers went up 21-0 just before the half on Trevor Reaske's 10-yard touchdown pass to Peter Gentile.

Hayfield got the ball first after the break, but Davis's interception and runback set up Bartley's second touchdown of the game with 8:46 left in the third, killing any hopes of a Hayfield comeback. Overall, the Chargers rolled up 264 yards rushing and held the ball for nearly 27 minutes to Hayfield's 21.

Chantilly (2-0) looks to build upon its early success this week at Falls Church, while the Hawks (0-2) hope to turn things around at Mount Vernon.
