Midgets

With the Nor Cal Fed youth football league entering the playoff season, the Yreka Charger Midgets (5-1 league) got to sleep in a little bit longer on this Saturday, as they needed only to get to their home Stadium for their first round playoff game. The Durham Trojans made the 3-½ hour drive north to Miner Stadium as the 3-seed in the Southern Conference, with the sole intention of not getting beat up by the Chargers, as was the outcome of the previous year playoff match-up.

As Yreka set to kick-off, the energy in the stadium was evident with the Charger fans at maximum cheering capacity. The Charger defense got right to work and forced a four and out change of possession to get the Charger offense on the field. The Trojan defense stepped up and answered right back with their own stand to force the Yreka offense off the field with a failed 4th down conversion. The speed and conditioning of the Trojan team was clearly going to be a factor for Yreka to overcome as the Trojan defense forced another Yreka change of possession and blocked a Yreka punt. With the Trojan offense on the field late in the 1st quarter, they scored the first TD of the day on an 8-yard run, but failed to convert the PAT kick. (more…)

PeeWee

The Yreka Charger Pee Wee team traveled to Red Bluff this last weekend to battle the Red Bluff Spartans. The first half of the game was grim for the Chargers as the Red Bluff Spartans had both strong offense and defense. The Charger offense struggled to move the ball against the Spartan defense down the hot turf field; while the Charger defense was unable to contain the Spartan offense.

After the half time break the Yreka Chargers came back on the field putting forth a tough defensive effort; allowing the Spartans one touchdown during the second half of the game. There were two forced fumbles by the Charger defense in the second half. Defensive tackle Skylar Conrad forced the Spartans to fumble the ball which was caught by defensive end Cale Cool giving the ball back to the Charger offense. In the second half Bowen Christy stepped in as offensive guard putting forth an excellent effort against a tough Spartan defense. The fourth quarter highlight by the Charger offense was Cale Cool’s 10 yard run up the middle for a Charger first down. (more…)

The first half of this game belonged to the defenses of both teams.  It began with a CV pass for a first down. CV made it all the way to the 1-yard-line, where they were prevented from scoring by the stellar performance of the Charger defense.  However, the Chargers fumbled deep in their own territory and CV was able to capitalize on it by making the first score of the game, to take the lead 6-0.

The Chargers responded with a 70-yard TD run by Tyraye Bush, after completing a pass from Bush to Jeremy Persing.  Bush intercepted the ball right before half time, but the Chargers were unable to score with the time remaining. The score at halftime was 6-6. (more…)

The Yreka Chargers Junior Pee Wees had a disappointing loss this past Saturday in Gridley. The Chargers got close to the goal line on two occasions but were unable to score. The Titans took advantage of the first possession and scored on their drive. On the subsequent possession, the Chargers’ Randall “RV” Hughes, had a fifty-yard run into the end zone on an end around play. Unfortunately, it was called back for a blocking violation. The Titans scored again in the first half.

In the second half, Davon Ruiz had some good carries. He had a sixty yard run, but was caught at the ten-yard line.  During that drive, the Chargers were unable to punch it in. The Chargers defense remained strong in the second half.  Tyler Rightmier and Tanner Ewing got into the Gridley backfield and were able to disrupt their offense.  Jai Case also made some great tackles at the cornerback position. The Titans were only able to score once more on the final play of the game.

The Chargers played hard and remained resilient against the Gridley heat and fatigue due to the long distance traveled. For their first away game, against a good team such as the Titans, the Jr. Pee Wees are optimistic about this season. The JPW this week will work hard on their offensive and defensive line play.  They look forward to hosting the U-Prep Panthers in Yreka this Saturday. (more…)
