Chandler bounded out to an early three touchdown lead, then held off the Meeker Bulldogs Friday night.
The win kept the Lions in a three-way tie with Jones and Luther for first place in District 2A.
The Lions are 4-1 for the season, going into Friday night’s game at Bethel.
Meeker dropped into a second-place tie with a 1-1 record in district play and will host Kellyville for Homecoming Friday.
Both teams came out locked and loaded.
Chandler quarterback Alec Jackson ran 55 yards for a touchdown to put Chandler up, 7-0, with less than a minute expired in the game.
Ajay Lynch took the kickoff down to the Chandler two-yard line, and Meeker paid off the effort with a touchdown two plays later.
The kick failed, leaving Chandler a 7-6 lead, which expanded to 21-6 by the end of the period, thanks to two touchdown runs by Casmen Hill.
Jackson hit Ty Garver with a 68-yard scoring pass early in the third period to make it 28-6, but Gabbert came back with his second touchdown with 3:35 left in the period.
The second half featured more offense, as the two teams combined for 798 yards of total offense.
There were also a ton of penalties, including one play in the second half when every member of the officiating crew launched a flag.
Those included a holding penalty, two personal fouls and an unsportsmanlike conduct.
“We have to fix some things on defense, with maturity level,” Chandler coach Jack Gray said after game. “Effort is never an issue. It’s just being where you are supposed to be.
“The offense is working. We ran well, we just kept backing ourselves up with holding calls. We can’t start first-and-20.”
Chandler broke in a new kicker - John Casey - to replace the injured Landon Miller.
“He’s another freshman who played soccer with our other kicker,” Gray said. “He wanted to try and come in, and he’s not bad for four days of kicking a football.
“He’s going to come in and help us.”
