    But that was not the case Thursday night when the teams met at Memorial Field in the regular season finale.

    Burbank scored on the first play from scrimmage and were in complete command from start to finish in a 62-14 Pacific League victory.

    “Defensively, I like the way they played,” Burbank coach Hector Valencia said. “Offensively we knew we were going to click.”

    Burbank’s offense did more than just click. Quarterback Deshawn Laporte completed 24 of 26 passes for 464 yards and seven touchdowns.

    “The team executed real well. We came out and played hard and got the W,” Laporte said. 

    Burbank (8-2, 6-1 in league) needed just 15 seconds to score as Elijah Pendleton took one of Laporte’s baby passes and went 65 yards for the touchdown.

    The Bulldogs scored three more times in the first quarter. Pendleton scored his second touchdown on a 20-yard pass.
    Exodus Freeman scored on a 37-yard touchdown with 2:58 left in the first quarter and Chase Miles scored on the final play of the quarter, a 17-yard pass from Laporte.

    Tyler Hudson scored on a 13-yard screen pass with 2:30 left in the first half to make it 34-0.

    Kaylem Valencia intercepted a pass by Burroughs quarterback Brandon Chapparo and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half.

    Burbank led 42-0 at halftime.

    “The way they play at that level is amazing. We need to do that if we want to play at that level,” Burroughs coach Jose Calzadilla said of Burbank. 

    Burbank received a 75-yard touchdown from Laporte to Miles with 4:46 left in the third quarter.

    Burroughs (3-7, 3-4 in league) finally got on the board with 3:30 left in the third period as Chapparo scored on a 4-yard run. 

    Burbank added another touchdown before the end of the quarter as Tyler Hudson had an incredible run that saw him elude a number of tackles before going 26 yards into the end zone. 

    Burroughs added a touchdown with 6:41 remaining, as Troy Acosta scored on an 8-yard run.

    Chapparo led Burroughs with 76 yards rushing. The Bears also got 59 yards from Sho Fujita.

    Burbank will find out its fate for the CIF playoffs on Sunday when pairings will be released.

    • Burroughs Football No Match for Muir

      [ad_1]

      Just two years ago the Burroughs High football team won on the road at Muir High and ended up winning the Pacific League title.

      But things have changed in big ways in the time since. Muir has arguably its best team this century and it showed on the scoreboard Thursday night as the host Mustangs handed the visiting Bears a 63-0 loss.

      “This is the best team we’ve faced in league. We came out and we played hard. It is tough. They are just so talented and well coached,” Burroughs coach Jose Calzadilla said. “They knew what we were going to do and were ready for it.  They took it to us from the very beginning, but the guys kept going out and kept trying to play and that’s all I can ask for.”

      Burroughs (3-5 overall, 3-2 in league) came out and put together a solid drive to start the game. 

      Quarterback Brandon Chapparo ran 12 plays that got Burroughs as close as the Muir 23-yard line. He completed three passes to Tony Sanchez on the drive.

      Muir (7-1, 5-0 in league) eventually took over on downs and went to work behind left-handed quarterback Trey Gamble. 

      Gamble completed 10 of 13 passes for 192 yards and four touchdowns.

      His first completion was a 30-yard touchdown to Alijha Smith.

      Later in the quarter he hooked up with junior Deveon Blaylock on a 25-yard touchdown pass.

      Muir running back Zion McDonald scored on an 18-yard run early in the second quarter to push the Mustangs’ lead to three touchdowns.

      McDonald scored on a 32-yard punt return later and Gamble and Blaylock hooked up on a 15-yard touchdown, both before the intermission.

      Burroughs did stop one Muir first-half drive as Ryder Bowne recovered a fumble.

      Muir’s Dre Arnold returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown.

      Gamble and Smith hooked up on a 50-yard touchdown with 9:50 left in the third quarter to make it 49-0.

      Burroughs stopped another Muir drive in the red zone as Dominic Saraceno recovered a fumble.

      The Bears will host Crescenta Valley next Friday night at Memorial Field.

    • Burroughs Gets Back to Basics in Win Over Arcadia

      [ad_1]

      Burroughs football coach Jose Calzadilla knew he had to make some changes for his team, which entered winless before Thursday’s Pacific League road contest at Arcadia High.

      Calzadilla didn’t get fancy. He just went back to the basics and his team came away 41-33 victors over the host Apaches.

      “We had a handful of things that we wanted to do tonight and we saw some things and we made adjustments over the course of the game, but ultimately we knew we were going to run the ball,’’ said Calzadilla, who earned his first win as varsity head coach. “We knew we were going to go outside. They have some decent size inside. We had to keep them honest, but ultimately we were going to run the ball and take shots when they were available.”

      Burroughs (1-4, 1-1 in league) got a fine effort on the ground from junior quarterback Brandon Chapparo and junior running back Sho Fujita.

      Fujita carried the ball 33 times for 186 yards and three touchdowns.

      Chapparo had 14 carries for 170 yards and a touchdown.

      “It feels really good,” Fujita said. “It was a group effort. I couldn’t have done it without the team.”

      Fujita scored on a 9-yard-run with 8:54 left in the first quarter to get the Bears on the board.

      Arcadia (1-4, 1-1 in league) got on the board later in the quarter as Ethan Long scored on a 5-yard-run with 3:08 left in the quarter. The Apaches hit the goal post on the extra point and it bounced out, leaving Burroughs with a 7-6 advantage.

      Fujita had a 4-yard touchdown at the 10:47 mark of the second quarter. Arcadia responded with a 5-yard touchdown run by AJ Pressnall.

      Arcadia took its lone lead of the game later in the quarter when Pressnall hooked up with Aiden Reyes on a 74-yard touchdown pass. 

      Burroughs fought back behind backup Sean Gahman, who alternated with Chapparo throughout most of the contest.

      Gahman hooked up with Brendan Smith on a 58-yard touchdown pass with 1:02 left in the third quarter. 

      The Bears scored a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter as Carson Shrode scored on a 9-yard run in his first carry of the game.

      Fujita added a 10-yard touchdown with 1:55 left in the third quarter to put Burroughs up 34-19.

      Arcadia cut the deficit to 34-25 with 8:44 left when Pressnall hooked up with Tyler Rangsuebsin on a 26-yard touchdown pass.

      But Chapparo kept Burroughs moving. He scored on a 21-yard run with 3:08 left to play to make it 41-25.

      Burroughs will host Glendale High next Friday at Memorial Field.

    • Hart Football Still Dominant Over Burroughs

      [ad_1]

      The Indian mascots have changed for both schools, but Hart has remained a top school in football. Burroughs has had its ups and downs in recent years, but it was not to be Friday night.

      Hart, which is now known as the Hawks, was very impressive with a 49-0 win over the Bears at College of the Canyons.

      “They are a good football team. You can’t make the mistakes we made and expect to have any success. They take advantage of things. They are well coached. I have to give them credit,” Burroughs coach Jose Calzadilla said.  “I don’t think our guys stopped playing. Nobody gave up. They just made mistakes and we can fix those things.”   

                                                                                                                                                                                                  
      In keeping with tradition, Hart, which has produced a number of top college and pro quarterbacks over the years, was very strong in passing the ball.

      Quarterback Jacob Paisano completed 15 of 20 passes for 202 yards and five touchdowns.

      Burroughs (0-1) was intercepted three times and the Bears also fumbled a kickoff, resulting in Hart being able to take over in the red zone already up by a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter.

      Hart junior Matix Frithsmith was solid on the ground and in the air with 14 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown. He also had nine receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown.

      Hart sophomore Silas Tucker had three touchdown receptions.

      Fujita Sho had 52 yards rushing for Burroughs. Carson Shrode had 33 yards rushing for the Bears.

      Burroughs will host Santa Monica next Friday night at Memorial Field. Santa Monica fell 42-0 to Laguna Beach on Friday.

    • New Name, Familiar Face Leading Burroughs Football

      [ad_1]

      The John Burroughs High football program has its fifth head coach since current athletic director Keith Knoop stepped down after the 2015-16 season after having been the head coach since the 1997-98 school year and previously was an assistant going back to the 1993-94 year.

      One person who has been part of the Burroughs football program for nearly as long as Knoop is new head coach Jose Calzadilla, who has been an assistant since 1999.

      A former Burroughs player himself, Calzadilla now takes over a job he has more than a quarter of century getting ready for.

      “Our goal at Burroughs has always been to make practice harder than games,” Calzadilla said recently at the Pacific League’s Media Day. “Anybody can do anything right when you’re fresh. It’s all about doing it when you are fatigued. We’re very fortunate. We have 108 kids in our program, 55 at the varsity level. Our goal is to be as competitive as we can be. This league is tough with some amazing athletes.”

      Depth is something that Burroughs will definitely need to use as an advantage.

      The quarterback position has been a battle between juniors Brandon Chaparro (5-8, 164) and Sean Ghaman (6-3, 199). Chaparro is more of a running threat and Ghaman is more suited for the passing game. Sophomore Deegan Howell (5-10, 151) offers a third option at the position.

      Both should receive help from a solid offensive line that will be coached by longtime Burroughs teacher and coach Mike Reily, who returns to the program after taking a few years off to pursue other interests.

      Senior Rizon Williamson (5-10, 278) is the top returner.  Other seniors on the offensive line are Juan Carlos Barrera (6-0, 208), Josh Orosco- Diaz (5-11, 265), Hector Manjarrez (6-1, 245), Cedrick Velazquez (6-2, 169), Aaron Figueroa (6-1, 214), and Dominic Saraceno (5-11, 238).

      The Bears also have a number of underclassmen who will see time on either the offensive or defensive lines with juniors Cooper Beebe (6-2, 227), Jedidiah Cuevas (5-6, 195), Anthony Larios (5-8, 221), Nilon Boteju (5-9, 180), Ashton Reyes (6-0, 263), Kevin Radillo-Paz, Theodore Severse (6-4, 273), Erick Jacobo (5-9, 277), Jadan Ruffin (6-5, 296), Luke Ryan (5-10, 208), Brian Navarrette (5-10, 194), Matthew Westmoreland (5-10, 242) and Christian Garay-Dang-Mendez (5-10, 208).

      Sophomore Hunter Sandoval (6-0, 264) is also in the mix.

      At running back Burroughs will have seniors Jamar Saint-Fleur (5-9, 156), Tripton Slouthour (5-9, 177), juniors Carson Shrode (5-10, 163), Sho Fujita (5-6, 140) and sophomores Troy Acosta (5-9, 137) and Christian Mendoza (5-5, 127).

      In the wide receiver/defensive back positions, the Bears have a number of people who could fill the holes.

      Seniors King Milhouse (6-2, 184), Brendan Smith (5-10, 157), Tyler Lorenc (6-0, 170), Jayden Valle (5-5, 140), Anthony Castro (5-8, 141)  and Donovan Ybarra (5-10, 166) lead the group.

      Juniors Tony Sanchez (5-10, 146), Brendan Smith (5-10, 157),  Suede Richer (5-10, 145), Mikhail Fox (5-9, 160), Gavin Tubbs (5-11, 154), Carter Czekaj (5-7, 143), Joaquin Rodriguez (5-9, 147), Julian Tiangco (5-10, 161), and sophomores Jesus Gutierrez (5-11, 145) and Gavin Tubbs (5-11, 154) offer depth.

      Junior Ryder Bowne (6-0, 166) was an all-league pick at linebacker last year and will play exclusively on the defensive side of the ball. Fellow junior Jordan Frenkel (5-10, 195) will also play a number of roles for the Bears.

      Seniors Hasan Kahlief (5-11, 180) and Angel Del Real (6-0, 183), juniors Jason White (6-2, 185), Josh Kelly (5-8, 170), Manny Trujillo (5-10, 174) and sophomore Nicolas Taylor (5-11, 171) would also see time at tight end and on defense.

      Junior Michael Hernandez (5-10, 135) will be the kicker.
