Chambers scored on runs of 20, 40, 2, 20 and 5 yards as the Warriors finished the regular season undefeated (10-0, 7-0) and advance to the CIF playoffs next week. Despite the loss, the Huskies (7-3, 6-1) earned a berth in the playoffs.

One play and 14 seconds after SVC recovered an onsides kick, Chambers rambled 40 yards for a second TD and the Warriors led 14-0 after 3 1/2 minutes. Late in the quarter, Chambers added a third TD run, increasing SVC’s lead to 21-0.
