The South Huntington Beach Chargers ran their league record to 7-0

Sunday by defeating visiting Fullerton, 58-34, in a boys National Junior

Basketball contest.

Despite not having leading scorer Taylor King in the lineup for the

second consecutive week, the Chargers still had plenty of firepower as

they opened up a 14-4 first-quarter lead.

T.J. Lipold topped the Chargers in scoring for the second straight

game with a game-high 26 points. Casey Becker and Michael Hardwick each

added 10 points.

Although the victory was the seventh of the season for the Chargers,

it extended their win streak to 29 games over the past three years.

South Huntington Beach has the next two weekends off and then returns

to action by visiting Monterey Park on Feb. 16. The Chargers host

Bakersfield on Sunday, Feb. 17, at 10:45 a.m.
