Two storied programs will once again clash on the gridiron in the Battle for the Bell. The Edison Chargers come into the matchup following last year’s dominant 51-point shutout over the Fountain Valley Barons. The Barons will look to correct course after last year’s tumultuous season where they posted a 1-9 record, while the Chargers will try to keep the spark alive after an up-and-down season that saw them post a respectable 8-4 line. Records aside, all eyes will be fixed on the Bell on October 21st, as the Barons host the Chargers and try to secure the trophy that’s remained with Edison for nearly two decades.
