Green Chargers can’t hold on to lead

The Huntington Beach Jr. Pee Wee Green Chargers jumped out to a

quick two-touchdown lead on Yorba Linda Saturday but couldn’t sustain

that momentum and ended up on the short end of a 34-14 loss to the

visiting Warriors in Pop Warner Football action at Edison High.

Sean Corcoran came up with a fumble recovery on the first play

from scrimmage, which set up a touchdown run by Eugene Starikov.

The other Green Charger score was an 80-yard burst by Josh

Herrera, which gave Huntington Beach a 14-0 advantage through the first

quarter of play.

The two touchdowns were the first points scored on unbeaten Yorba

Linda this season.

Tim Doupe turned in an interception and other outstanding play for

the Green Chargers came from Christopher Maki, Robert McCarty, Justin

Kyle, and Jay Petros.

Huntington Beach will attempt to bounce back from its second loss

of the season Saturday when the Green Chargers host the Bell Gardens

Lancers in a 1 p.m. kickoff at Edison High.
