Let's Go Chargers!
The best part about sports at CH-CH is that they’re open to both seasoned and new athletes. We’re willing to teach the sport and make sure an athlete has the opportunity to be a member of whatever team they chose. This is a school where everyone is the member of a team.
We offer a wide selection of competitive team sports as well as non-competitive sports and activities. Our JV level programs focus on participation, skill development and the opportunity to gain new experiences. The varsity level programs will focus more on skill development, competition, and the pursuit of excellence.
Because our athletics and activities program is so vital to the CH-CH experience, families often have specific questions about league affiliation, student participation, and other aspects of the program. Please contact our Athletic Director, Lori White at 781-314-0850 or lwhite@chch.org with any programmatic questions.
Congratulations to Jaylin Johnson (‘25) on being named the 2023 Boys Lacrosse Co-MVP of the Massachusetts Bay Independent League! Jaylin led the Chargers in goals, was second in assists, and posted 39 goals and 9 assists in 15 games (3.1 ppg). This included 16 goals and 5 assists in the 5 league games he played in (4.1ppg). He was often closely guarded by the other team, and he created offense for others by clearing space, securing possessions with a team-leading 83 ground balls, and often drawing double teams which created opportunities for the Chargers to score.
“Jaylin improved in every category this year and worked hard to be the best player on the most successful team. Coaching him is a true pleasure because he is constantly trying to improve his repertoire of skills and knowledge” - Coach MacPhail.
Jaylin was a team leader whose his passion and drive led the Chargers to a perfect 6-0 league record, an MBIL Championship, and an appearance in the McCoy Cup post-season tournament!
On May 12, the Boys Lacrosse team won the Massachusetts Bay Independent League Championship for the second consecutive year. It was a historic season for the team. With many of last year's MBIL championship squad returning, the team was primed for another league run. The defense picked up where it left off last year, giving up under five goals per game. The offense, led by reigning 2022 MBIL MVP Jaylin J. '25, picked up the scoring.
The team defeated league rival Waring 7-2 to finish the 2023 season undefeated in the league for the first time in program history. The Chargers finished 12-4 overall on the season. Coach MacPhail notes, “It was an amazing year and the boys worked hard every step of the way. I’m tremendously proud of their effort and the results they achieved from it.”
Last weekend, Olivia M. ('24) joined 102 wrestlers from 30 different schools to participate in the 9th Annual Phillips Academy Girls Wrestling tournament. The tournament featured a clinic from 7x National Team Member, 2x College National Champion, World University Champion, and 2x Olympic team alternate, Katherine Shai as well as a full day tournament with 14 blocked weights, 11 of which were 8-person brackets, and 3 of which were round robin brackets of 5. Liv participated in an 8-person bracket and finished the day in 4th place.
"As the only girl on my team, it was really fun to wrestle and experience an event with so many females in the sport of wrestling. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it." - Olivia M. ('24)
Congratulations to Layla Maniscalco (‘23) on being named the IGC Volleyball Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year. As a returning captain, Maniscalco continued to display her excellence in all technical facets of the game. As an outside hitter, she has the ability to deliver strong plays from anywhere on the court and can attack equally effectively from the front or back row. She excels in digging, passing, and serving. She is able to read opponents and make necessary adjustments to her play and her anticipation and quickness allow her to keep plays alive.
Maniscalco’s 2022 stats were remarkable. She had a.49% hitting percentage, ace percentage of 52.97%, a service receive rate of 89.62%, and a nearly flawless digging percentage of 92.92%. Maniscalco is a true complete player and her game composure set the tone for the season. During one conference game, with the Chargers trailing 15-17, Maniscalco turned the tide with a resounding cross court kill, then proceeded to serve\win the next 9 points via her serve including 7 aces to close out a 25-17 victor for the Chargers.
“She brings tremendous intangibles to each game and practice; confidence that is contagious to her teammates, positive and calm energy with a “one point at a time” mentality. Layla recognizes the importance of mistakes and uses them as motivation for herself and her teammates to learn and grow from.” - Coach Emma Maniscalco (‘19)
Congratulations to the Girls Volleyball team on winning the 2022 Independent Girls Conference Championship! The Chargers entered this season ready to go and combined a group of solid returning players with talented newcomers to take the IGC by storm. Coach Maniscalco reflects that she “knew from the start of the season that this group of girls was going to be successful from their drive to be successful, their willingness to try new things, and their connection to build each other up.”
The team went 16-0 in league with an overall regular season record of 17-2. As the number one seed in the IGC Tournament, the Chargers received a bye in the first round and went on to defeat Gann Academy 3-0 in the semi-finals and Covenant Christian Academy 3-0 in the championship game.
The Chargers are awaiting news of a bid to the NEPSAC tournament where they are currently ranked second in Class D.
