With just two returning starters and not a single senior on its roster, Wayne Country Day held Fayetteville Christian scoreless for 20 minutes before ultimately falling 8-0 on Thursday.

The Chargers started six freshmen and an eighth grader.

"I informed the players this would be a learning experience and I wasn't interested in the final score," said second-year Wayne Country Day head coach Baron Heinemann. "I was pleased with some of what I saw, but I certainly saw plenty of areas that we will be working on."

The Chargers visit Wayne Christian at 9 a.m. on Saturday in the Wayne Christian Invitational.
