The Gardena Serra Cavaliers defeated the Edison Chargers 27-10 Saturday night at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa to advance to the CIF Division II Championship against Oakdale.

The Chargers, champions of the Southwest Division, jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first half before a 7-yard touchdown pass from Serra junior quarterback Jalen Greene to Gregory Webb cut the deficit to 10-7 at halftime.

The second half belonged to the Cavaliers. Serra stormed down the field on their opening drive, capped off by a short touchdown run by Greene to give the Cavaliers a 14-10 advantage.

Nearly a week has passed since Gardena Serra defeated the Lompoc Braves to end California's longest active HS varsity football winning streak of 32 games, but Jackson and the Cavaliers have all but forgotten about their team's historic victory.

"Practice has definitely been a different focus. We have to forget about the win against Lompoc. If we lose this game I don't think people will remember that we ended their 32-game winning streak, but that we lost to Chaminade."

The Gardena Serra Cavaliers took care of business Friday night with an impressive 58-6 victory over the Santa Monica Vikings. Serra advances to face top seed and undefeated Lompoc in the CIFSS Western division semifinals next Friday.

The Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead on a short touchdown run by Malik Roberson.

Serra added to its lead on a 12-yard touchdown run from 5-star recruit Adoree’ Jackson.
