But with a late fumble recovery and a resulting touchdown with 3:50 left in the game, Westfield High School and Coach Verbanic's Chargers pulled off another close victory 17-14. A late field goal attempt by Chantilly to tie the score failed and with the turnover in downs, Westfield sealed Chantilly's fate and the victory for Westfield and Coach Tom Verbanic.
