The Almeta Crawford Chargers claimed their second straight district championship on Monday night following a victory over Fort Bend Marshall. The win cements the program's status as a top contender in its new classification. The team finished the regular season with the hardware in hand.
The school opened its doors four years ago. This marks the third year the Chargers have competed at the varsity level. In 2025, the team played in the 4A division. For the 2026 season, they moved up to the 5A-DII bracket. The move required the squad to adapt to a different level of competition immediately.
Head Coach David Jackson noted that his players treat every contest with equal intensity. He stated that the group has handled close games and dogfights before. He emphasized that the kids play hard and never give up. The coaching staff aims to keep the focus on execution rather than the weight of the achievement.
The roster is anchored by a core group of returning seniors. Quarterback Braylen Fisher is in his final year of high school. He said he enjoys every moment with his teammates on the field. Fisher also mentioned that he cherishes practices and study halls. Wide receiver Alvin Mosley, a committed recruit for Ole Miss, called the season emotional as it draws to a close.
Linebacker Khaidyn Hopson described the team's standard as excellence. He argued that the squad could compete against 7A teams. Hopson noted that newer programs produce great individual athletes. He believes the team becomes even better when it plays together as a unit.
The Chargers reached the regional finals in 2025. The players plan to use that experience for the upcoming postseason. Playoffs begin in two weeks. Coach Jackson set a specific target for the end of the season. He wants the team to be playing in Jerry World on December 18.
