The NorCalFed Board of Directors voted over the weekend to not renew the Yreka Chargers annual membership, effectively leaving the Chargers with no one to play in the up coming season. The reason cited by NorCalFed Commissioner Bill Fox in a news story done by KTVL TV in Medford was the expense of travel for the other teams. Read KTVL story here.

The Chargers are planning an emergency meeting for tonight, Monday, January 24. (more…)

The final game of league play for the Yreka Chargers Junior Midgets division ended in a shutout victory. The weather finally turned, and this game was played in wet, cold, and windy conditions. Never the less, the Chargers persevered, and won it, 15-0, over the Anderson Jr. Cubs.

As the wind limited the pass attack to a few nice receptions, the Chargers mounted an effective run game with Drew Kannely- Robles finding the end zone four times. Two touchdowns were called back on penalties, but a 30-yard run, and a 7-yard smash through were good for 12 points. A successful 2-point kick, and a 1-point run, gave the Chargers their 15 game winning points.

Nathan Black took over center duties,and performed outstanding despite the slick conditions. Evan Shinar was rock solid at right tackle, and helped lead the O- line to enable the run attack. Franky Garcia shored up the left side at guard. (more…)

This was a game of two evenly matched teams, both with standout play-making abilities, and everyone knew it was going to go down to the wire. In a brawl of a game, the Yreka Chargers Junior Midgets division suffered their first defeat, and watched their perfect season end to the Orland Aztecs by a score of 16-14.

All of the scoring came in the first half of play, as the second half was a defensive stalemate in which neither team gave up anything more. The two point differential was sufficient to enable the Aztecs to take over on a change of possession with under 2 minutes, and take three consecutive knees to end the game. (more…)

The Yreka Chargers Midgets lost a defensive battle to the Red Bluff Jr. Spartans this past Saturday by a score of 16-8. The Chargers scored first on a Tyler Hockaday 52-yard interception return. The extra PT by Aaron Freeze was good and Yreka seized the momentum.
The Yreka defense played solid in the first half, holding Red Bluff scoreless. The Charger charge was led by Tyler Frost, Stevie Albers and Corey Walker. Ty Currie had a nice interception for the YCM, stopping a RB drive. Josiah Travis had a nice kickoff pinning the Spartans deep.

The Charger Offense was unable to get on track all day, as the Spartans defense shut down the Yreka attack. Solid blocking by Ethan Frank and Philip Cogburn failed to spark the Charger Midgets.
Red Bluff scored once in the 3rd quarter, and again late in the 4th to seal the victory. The YCM played hard all day and all the boys played with courage and desire. (more…)

On a hot, muggy Saturday in Corning, the much anticipated game with the Lions was played out in Cardinal Stadium. For the Yreka Chargers Junior Midget Division, this intense rivalry was fought out through regulation play, and one overtime period, and ended in a Chargers victory of 36-34. For 50 minutes, these teams slugged it out. It all came down to a last chance, must have 2 point PAT kick from Corning to re-tie the game. But with a Charger defensive line surge, and the hand of Chase McDonald to block the kick attempt, the stadium
erupted as the Chargers took the win. (more…)

The Yreka Chargers Midgets opened league play last Saturday with a convincing 33-6 win. The Chargers scored on their first play from scrimmage, with Tyler Hockaday rumbling for a 42-yard touchdown. The Central Valley Falcons fumbled on their first play and the Chargers capitalized with a 26 yard scoring strike from Ty Currie to Thomas Colla, to make the score 14-0 Chargers. Yreka wasted no time in finding the end zone for a 3rd time as birthday boy Anthony Garcia struck pay-dirt on a 5 yard carry. Hockaday scored early in the scored quarter to put the game away 26-0. Tristan Fonseca tacked on Yreka’s final tally before halftime to make it 33-0.

Austin Joling and Tyler Frost provided solid blocking from their offensive quad positions, while Ethan Frank proved to be a rock at center. Josiah Travis had an excellent game on both sides of the ball. Marquis Pitts ran the ball well and made several nice stops defensively. A blitzing P.J Christy nearly  KO’d  the CV fullback with a awesome hit. Keith Belcher had his usual hard hitting game from defensive end and Cody Hankins contributed with multiple tackles from his corner position. Hankins also was a force on kickoff coverage. Yreka travels to Corning this Saturday. (more…)
