The Plumas Charter Warriors have opened their football season with an impressive 2–1 record, showing grit, teamwork and community spirit both on and off the field.
The highlight of the season so far came during Homecoming week, when the Warriors hosted Westwood in Greenville. The stands were packed with fans cheering not only for the team but also for the return of beloved community traditions.
On the Field
The Warriors offense has proven powerful, racking up points early in the season. In their matchup against Westwood, Plumas Charter’s athletes executed sharp plays and strong drives, keeping the pressure on their rivals and energizing the Homecoming crowd, beating the lumberjacks with a final score of 44–6. Earlier wins, including a decisive victory over Herlong, have set the tone for a promising season. Their only loss came in a hard-fought battle against Sierra Lutheran that underscored areas for growth, but the team’s momentum remains strong heading into the next stretch of games.
Homecoming Spirit
Homecoming week brought the community together through spirited activities. Students raised funds for the Associated Student Body with a powder puff football game and a lively boys’ volleyball game. Downtown Greenville came alive with a parade that ended in front of the new American Legion building, where the color guard opened a pep rally filled with Warrior pride. The IVA concert band performed alongside Chester students, creating a powerful sound that reflected the unity of the valley.
The opening ceremonies honored tradition and community. The Indian Valley Riding and Roping Club added pageantry and hometown spirit to the event, while halftime recognized student achievement and community legacy. Lucy Joseph presented the student-citizenship award to Gwen Graham, and the family of Greenville High School class of 1978 graduate Patty McCutcheon, who recently passed, was honored for her lasting impact.
New Cheer Team Takes the Field
This year also marks the debut of the Warriors’ new cheerleading squad, made up of 10 junior high and high school students. Their enthusiasm helped electrify the crowd, joined by the Greenville Elementary cheerleaders who proudly rooted on the team.
As the Warriors continue their season, they carry not only a winning record but also the spirit of a community that rallies behind them every step of the way.
