Chargers win first -- just

A defensive stand in the final moments of Saturday’s Pop Warner football game allowed the Huntington Beach Junior Midget 2 Gold Chargers to pick up their first win of the season, 26-24 against the Norwalk Titans.

Running back Sean Whiteman rushed for more than 100 yards and scored three touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Tight end Jacob Belkin caught a touchdown pass from Randal Mycorn and fullback Robert Young rushed for 80 yards.

Defensively, cornerback Erick Zumwalt had a pair of sacks, Whiteman — an outside linebacker — had a sack and caused a fumble, lineman Jack Dennis blocked two point-after touchdown attempts and cornerback Cameron Bustos made a last-second tackle to preserve the win.

Lineman Robert Young, defensive end David Luther and inside linebacker Aaron Rakhshani also made key plays for Huntington.
