Gold Chargers earn first win

Behind an offense that sprang to life with a potent passing attack and solid rushing game, the Huntington Beach Gold Chargers entered the win column for the first time in the 2007 Pop Warner Football season Saturday with a 19-0 triumph over the Fullerton Gold Titans.

The Pee Wee Division contest was played at Edison High.

Huntington quarterback Colin Kearon turned in an 11-for-16 passing performance that included 169 yards and two touchdowns. In the first quarter, he and Chad Davis teamed on a 25-yard scoring play. Also in the first half, he hit Brian Schales with a 30-yard TD pass.

Davis led all receivers with 100 yards.

Brandon Lien rushed for 35 yards and Evan Kurth for 31 to account for 66 of the Gold Chargers’ 90 yards rushing. In the fourth quarter, Lien threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Crossen.

Mason Duffy, Corey Robb, Eric Weimer, Brandon Bauer, Dominic Celano, John Baker-Arend, Curran Lara, Robert Becker, Bailey Laster, Cody Basford, Richie Castellano, Robert Fischer and Kyle Vanleer, paved the way along the offensive line.

The Chargers’ defense, led by linebackers Lien, Cooper Davie, Grant Schlindwein, Colin Kearon, Jeffrey Vanags and Blake Hinclif, ends, Robert Giambone and Brian Schales, tackles Joshua Gruwell, Diego Rossi, Chad Faas and Weston Huerstel, cornerbacks Chad Davis and Tanner Worrell and safety Anders Davis, held the Gold Titans to just 40 yards of offense and two first downs.
