Ball security wasn’t an issue during Chatham’s preseason and scrimmages, but the Cavaliers’ inability to hold onto the football led to their downfall in a 35-8 season-opening loss to Randolph-Henry on Friday night.

Matt Bray didn’t allow any runs after the first inning as Chatham held on to defeat Northumberland 7-2 in the Group A state quarterfinals on Tuesday. Chatham (23-2) advanced to play Rappahannock on Friday at 10 a.m. at Radford.
