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 a member of the 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.
In his first season wrestling, senior Calvin d. (‘25) has made an immediate impact on the mat. He recently won 2nd place at the Eastern Independent League Championships qualifying him for the New England Championship Tournament. At the EIL tournament Calvin started off the day with a spectacular comeback pin to win against the 3rd seed. In his next match Calvin wrestled the 2nd seed and put on a dominant performance winning the match by pin and avenging his previous loss.
Calvin will head to Phillips Exeter on Friday to compete as the 6th seed in the New England Tournament. You can follow the action on the NEPSWA live stream by clicking the link below:
Coach Ian MacPhail has been named the 2024 New England Eastern Coach of the Year by USA Lacrosse for the second time in three years. He is a coach that athletes love to play for which is clear by the roster growth under his leadership. Regardless of an athlete’s prior experience or skill, they are welcome and embraced. Senior captain Nick D. reflects that, “Coach asked me to play lacrosse my sophomore year, and it truly changed my life. He pushed me on the field and made me fall in love with the sport.”
Coach MacPhail’s commitment to skill development, team culture, and sharing his passion for lacrosse has led the Chargers to win three league titles since 2018 as well as earn two bids to the McCoy Cup.
In addition to coaching lacrosse, he has previously assisted the varsity boys’ soccer team, varsity girls’ basketball team and the JV volleyball team at CH-CH. Coach MacPhail has previously coached at The Winchendon School, Arlington High School, and Concord Academy. He played four years of varsity lacrosse at Guilford College. In addition to coaching at CH-CH, he coaches the Penguins Lacrosse Team and PrimeTime Elite Lacrosse Camps.
Congratulations to Jaylin Johnson (‘25) on being named the 2024 MBIL Boys Lacrosse Most Valuable Player for the third consecutive season. Jaylin’s 2024 season was his most successful statistical season yet. He had 39 goals and 21 assists, including 74 ground balls (5.7 per game) from the attack position. He led the Chargers in both categories, accounting for 60 of the team's 130 goals in the season. Jaylin's presence on the field forced defenses to adjust to limit him, which also opened up opportunities for other players to contribute, and his scoring helped lead the highest-scoring offense in the MBIL (roughly 11 goals per game in league games).
“Jaylin grew into a leadership role both in word and in play. I am so proud of his continued growth as a lacrosse player” - Coach MacPhail.
Congratulations to Josiah Driscoll (‘24) on being named the 2024 Boys Basketball MVP of the Massachusetts Bay Independent League! Josiah is a two year captain and a three year varsity starter for the Chargers. He has had an outstanding season, averaging 18.6 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.3 spg, and 1 bpg. In 8 games of league play, including the MBIL tournament, he averaged 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, including a 10-13-10 triple double v. Gann in early February.
As the numbers indicate, Josiah is an incredibly versatile player. While he is truly a guard, he is able to operate in the post against smaller defenders, serve a screener or ball handler in pick and roll plays, and he has defended everyone from point guards to 6'7" centers with great effectiveness.
In addition to his physical play, Coach Bubar notes, “Josiah is an outstanding and inclusive leader, and one of the best, if not the best, teammates I have ever had the opportunity to coach.”
Josiah helped lead the Chargers to win the 2024 MBIL Championship. The team also secured the #5 seed in the NEPSAC Class C Large School Tournament and travels to Hyde, Maine to take on #4 seed Kents Hill this afternoon.
Congratulations to the Varsity Boys’ Basketball team on winning the 2024 Massachusetts Bay Independent League Division I Championship! The Chargers entered the tournament as the #1 seed after going 5-1 in league play. They defeated #4 seeded Brimmer 59-44 in the semi-final match-up and went on to win the championship, defeating #2 seeded Boston Trinity Academy 55-49 in a back and forth battle.
Coach Bubar noted that, "This year's team joined a select group of CH-CH athletes by winning a league title this year, an accomplishment they are rightfully proud of. However, the best part of this team didn't come from winning a title; it came instead from the feeling of family, fostered by an outstanding senior class, that helped make the tough moments more bearable and the joyous moments even better. There is an unforgettable cast of characters on this team, with many different players stepping up at different moments to make an impact, and Coach Loar and I are just lucky to be here for all of it."
The team awaits news of a potential bid to the NEPSAC Class C large school tournament.
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.”
