Green Chargers beat Bell Gardens, 24-13

The Huntington Beach Jr. Pee Wee Division Green Chargers used a

complete team effort Saturday to score a 24-13 victory over the visiting

Bell Gardens Lancers in Pop Warner Football action at Edison High.

Both Josh Herrera and Eugene Starikov each rushed for two

touchdowns - one in each half - and the Green Charger defense came up

with a pair of second half fumble recoveries as Huntington Beach overcame

a 13-12 halftime deficit.

Herrera’s second touchdown of the game gave the Green Chargers the

lead for good, Eugene Starikov tacked on another rushing touchdown for an

11-point edge, and both Sean Corcoran and Adam Halstead came up with

fumble recoveries to thwart the Lancers.

Leading the way on offense for the Green Chargers were Les Obie,

Adam Miranda, and Nick Josenhans.

Defensive leaders for Huntington Beach included Jake Slaton,

Robert Raad, and Robert McCarty.

The Jr. Pee Wee Green Chargers, now 4-2, will meet the Lakewood

Spartans Saturday (1 p.m.) in Lakewood.
