YOUTH FOOTBALL:

The Pop Warner Football regular season ended the way it began for the Huntington Beach Jr. Midget Division Green Chargers: with an overwhelming performance.

The undefeated Green Chargers will take the division’s No. 1 seed into Saturday’s playoffs after they capped their regular season Saturday with a 30-0 shutout of the Santa Margarita Silver Mustangs.

Coach Kevin Smith’s squad has allowed just one touchdown this season. Steele Escobedo, Sam Doxakis, Trevor Borkowski, Darin Preece, Steven Tovatt, Tyler MacLeod and Brett Adams came up with several sacks in the game.

Borkowski, Coley, Peter Russo and Brodie Barton scored touchdowns for Huntington. The teams will go at it again at 1 p.m. Saturday, as top-seed Huntington faces the No. 8-seed Silver Mustangs in a first-round postseason game in Garden Grove.

In another Jr. Midget Division game Saturday:

Huntington 12, La Habra 0: The Gold Chargers earned their first victory of the season by blanking the Blue Lions.

Huntington’s first score came on a touchdown pass from Brandon Lien to Seth Seidel. On the ensuing kickoff, La Habra fumbled near its own end zone and the Gold Chargers’ Tyler Warren recovered the loose ball in the end zone for a touchdown.
