Oilers leave it late

A tight defensive struggle went Huntington Beach’s way Saturday, as the Black Oilers pulled out a 7-0 Clinic Division victory over the Carson Colts in Jr. All-American Football action.

Brandon Entwistle scored the game’s only touchdown in the third quarter, a score capped by Javier Sanchez’s conversion.

The win was the second of the season for the Black Oilers.

Quincy Wimbish Jr., Bowen Blake, Liam Jimmons, Cade Bernard and Anthony de la Torre all made key defensive stands for the Black Oilers.

The victory puts Huntington at 2-1 on the season. The Black Oilers defeated Compton on the opening weekend of play Sept. 9 but fell last week to Carson.
