Youth football teams rolling

The Huntington Beach Pee Wee Division Oilers picked up their first victory of the season by posting a rare win over Norwalk, 14-12, in Jr. All-American Football action Saturday.

After spotting the Saints a 6-0 lead, Oilers running back Maurice Barber scored on a 25-yard run.

Quarterback Nolan Winks and Trevor Diehl connected on a touchdown pass later in the game, which proved to be the decisive score. Norwalk scored a late touchdown but had a two-point conversion kick blocked by a host of Oilers that would have tied the game.
