Pee Wee Green Chargers win, 32-0

The Huntington Beach Pee Wee Green Chargers ended a winless streak at

four games Saturday by routing the Saddleback Golden Bears, 32-0.

The Green Chargers (2-3) ran their offense to near perfection in the

first half, scoring on four possessions to take command of the game.

Eugene Starikov rushed for 96 yards in the opening half, scoring on

runs of 32 and 28 yards. Starikov also teamed with quarterback Les Obie

on a 35-yard touchdown pass in the half. Obie completed two for three

passes for 48 yards and also rushed for 53 yards before the break.

Huntington Beach’s defense also turned in an outstanding effort that

was highlighted by Marcus Sotelo’s 28-yard interception return for a

touchdown and that the team limited Saddleback to just one first down.

In halftime homecoming ceremonies, Starikov was named homecoming king

and Alexandra Downey was named homecoming queen.
