Green Chargers snapped in loss to Tustin

The Huntington Beach Green Chargers had a 19-game unbeaten streak snapped Saturday in Tustin, as the host Black Cobras came away with a 22-6 victory in Pop Warner Football Junior Midget Division play.

Huntington’s unbeaten streak dated back to December 2004.

The Green Chargers got the upper hand early when Christopher Ogilvie intercepted a Tustin pass and returned it 24 yards to the Black Cobras’ 25-yard line.

Six plays later, Tanner Greeley scored from five yards out on a counter-left to give Huntington what would be its only score and lead, 6-0.

Tustin added a touchdown and conversion in the first half and took an 8-6 lead at the half.

Second-half penalties doomed the Green Chargers, who committed four in addition to turning the ball over twice.

Playoff-bound Huntington will attempt to rebound Saturday when it plays the Santa Ana Monarchs in the league-season finale.

The Huntington Green Chargers wrapped up the division championship with a shutout, mercy-rule victory over the Stanton Raiders.

Coach Kevin Smith’s Green Chargers improved to 9-0 overall and 7-0 in league play.

Huntington’s defense has not allowed an opponent to score this year.

“The work ethic and discipline of this group of boys has led to a phenomenal year and a true shot at the upcoming Orange Bowl and beyond to Wescon,” Smith said.
