Timber Creek Football Beats CH West in Playoffs [Photos]
The Chargers move on to the second round against Kingsway.
Timber Creek brought the offense with them into the first round of the South Jersey, Group 4 playoffs.
Behind a two-touchdown effort from running back Isaiah Austin, 333 passing yards from quarterback Dan Williams and a 7-catch, 140-yard effort—including 77 yards on one broken play alone—from Alan Butler, the Chargers won going away against No. 8 seed Cherry Hill West Friday night, 39-13.
It was Butler's catch-and-run on a dump-off pass from Williams that broke the game open—the Lions had gotten on the board and threatened at 20-7, when Butler grabbed a short pass over the middle, cut left, shook off one defender and took off, zigzagging his way through the secondary down to West's 10-yard line.

His catch set up Williams' only touchdown throw of the night, a six-yarder to Austin, and the game was never in doubt after that.
Justin Davila and Kareem Ali also rushed for touchdowns in the first half, and Williams added a quarterback keeper in the fourth quarter to finish it off for the Chargers.
