    Spotting the hosts a 10-point halftime advantage looked precarious for the Burroughs High football team on Friday evening.

    It turned out just fine as the visitors erased that deficit versus Hoover and tallied three second-half touchdowns and in the process secured a 21-10 decision in a Pacific League game.

    Burroughs first-year head coach Jose Calzadilla explained what happened during the second half turnaround.

    “Our kids were disappointed with their effort in the first half. But some adversity can be a good thing. The ability to overcome that is a lesson every team should learn,” he said. “Our guys did that tonight. I’m proud of them.”

    Calzadilla added: “The kids came out in the second half and did what they had to do to win,” he said. “That’s all I could ask for.” 

    Over the last two games, Burroughs has forced five turnovers and the result is two victories.

    Keith Recchia is the defensive coordinator and sees marked improvement.

    “I felt our guys stepped up, limited their mistakes, and tackled well. Hoover had run five different offenses this year so we were not sure what we were going to see,” he explained. “Having patience on our side benefited us and our guys did a great job adjusting. Getting five turnovers in two games helps build confidence.”

    All three Burroughs scores were garnered via the ground attack and was spearheaded by quarterback Brandon Chapparo, who scored one touchdown in the third quarter and one in the fourth period.

    Chapparo’s 12-yard scoring run came with 9:08 left and trimmed Hoover’s lead to 10-7.

    The score came after senior wide receiver/cornerback Brandan Smith intercepted senior quarterback A.J. Francisco that gave the ball to Burroughs (3-4 and 3-1 in league) at the Hoover 29-yard line.

    Four plays moved the ball 17 yards before Chaparro, a junior, who carried the ball 14 times for 88 yards, waltzed into the end zone.

    A time-consuming 90-yard, 11-play march saw the Bears run the ball each play as junior running back/cornerback Sho Fujita, who added a game-best 109 yards on 20 carries, had five rushes for 29 yards and Chapparo added three carries for 35 yards including the score for a 21-10 advantage as 6:26 remained.

    The middle tally was made possible after a fumble on a pitch from Francisco to junior fullback/outside linebacker Dveen Aghanian as Burroughs received the ball at the Hoover 38.

    The key gain on the six-play march was Chapparo’s 11-yard keeper and Fujita delivered four rushes for 14 yards before junior running back/cornerback Carson Shrode, who finished with 38 yards on eight carries, burst into the end zone from 13 yards with 4:06 left in the third quarter for a 14-10 lead.

    “Our run game continues to evolve. We need to find new ways to help our quarterback,” Calzadilla said. “That’s on me. I will handle that.”

    Chaparro passed for 115 yards on 11 of 19 attempts but had two interceptions.

    Hoover (2-5 and 0-4 in league) took a 3-0 lead on a 28-yard field goal from junior wide receiver/kicker Jack Coopersmith with 4:18 remaining in the initial period.

    The 61-yard, eight-play march was assisted by a 46-yard double pass from Francisco to junior wide receiver Angelo Bailey who then drilled junior quarterback/free safety Elliott Nussbaum that placed the ball on the Burroughs 26-yard line.

    The Tornadoes moved in front 10-0 with 43 seconds left before halftime as Francisco hit Aghanian with an eight-yard pass that completed a two-play march and was made possible after senior wide receiver/cornerback Arman Asaduriyan picked off Chapparo and returned the errant toss 51 yards.

    Recchia said his unit played well.

    “We stuck to our game plan. I feel we played great in the first half. They had one big play to start the game that put them in field goal range, but from that moment our defense did a great job limiting opportunities,” he said. “Their touchdown came after a turnover that gave them the ball inside our 10-yard line, which is hard for any team to pull off a stop.”

    The next game Burroughs plays will be Muir which is undefeated in league on Thursday with a 7:00 p.m. start time.

    By Rick Assad

    Avvo Ilangesyan and Jack Bebelyan accounted for the bulk of goals scored by the Burbank High boys’ water team in a match versus Burroughs on Thursday afternoon.

    Between the two they accounted for 15 goals including 10 tallies from Illangesyan as the Bulldogs powered past the Bears 19-11 in a Pacific League regular season finale and Senior Night.

    Burbank (10-12 and 4-4 in league) never trailed and pulled ahead 6-3 after the first quarter and led 12-6 at halftime at the Burroughs pool.

    The Bulldogs were outscored 5-2 in the third period and led 17-9 heading to the fourth period.

    Next is the Pacific League tournament in which all the schools participate and then the CIF Southern Section playoffs for those who qualify.

    David Arakelyan played water polo at Burroughs and is the Burbank head coach.. 

    “I thought that this was one of the best games we played all season,” he said. “Hopefully, it’s a sign of peaking at the right time. We communicated and controlled the game throughout the majority, especially working around getting [Nicola Nasev] excluded out of the game, who was likely their best player.”

    Nicolas Oporta, Lincoln Morrow and Matthew Rodriguez all tallied three goals for the Bears.

    Burbank scored the first two goals of the initial period as Ilangesyan nailed a five-meter penalty throw with 5:29 to make it 1-0.

    Bebelayn, a senior, added a five-footer with 4:42 left for a 2-0 lead and a tally from seven feet at 4:05 that made it 4-2.

    The Bears scored two of the next three goals as Oporta hit a five-footer with 4:20 left that sliced the lead to 2-1.

    Aaron Sotolongo drilled an eight-footer with 3:52 left that lowered Burbank’s lead to 3-2.

    Ilangesyan, a junior, tossed in back-to-back tallies from close range and came with 2:34 left for a 4-2 lead and 2:01 for a 5-2 edge.

    Morrow’s five-meter penalty throw came with thirty-five seconds and lowered the Burbank lead to 5-2.

    When Ilangesyan nailed a five-footer with six seconds left, the advantage swelled to 6-3.

    Burroughs (4-12 and 3-5 in league) scored three of the first four goals to begin the second period.

    They were converted by Morrow on a seven-footer with 5:54 left that narrowed the lead to 6-4 and Morrow then nailed a 10-footer with 4:55 left that cut the deficit to 7-5.

    Ilangesyan’s five-meter penalty toss with 5:15 showing made it a 7-4 cushion.

    Burbank closed the frame by making five goals and they were made by Babelyan on a 12-footer with 3:57 left for an 8-6 lead and then drilling a five-meter penalty throw with 1:56 on the clock for a 9-6 margin.

    Burbank sophomore Daniel Gemdzhyan’s tally with 1:02 left made it 10-6.

    A throw from Ilangesyan with twenty-four seconds remaining increased the lead to 11-6.

    Senior Michael Bakrgyan unloaded a 25-footer as time ran out for a 12-6 cushion.

    The Bulldogs outscored the Bears 5-2 in the third frame and three goals were tallied by Ilangesyan and came with 4:49 left for a 13-7 lead and 4:24 that made it 14-7. Ilangesyan’s rocket with 2:24 left saw Burbank scurry ahead 16-8.

    Bakrgyan’s seven-footer with 3:02 left made it 15-7 and Bebelyan’s 18-footer with twenty-one seconds on the clock increased the lead to 17-8.

    Landon Quiambao’s close range shot in the third period for the Bears sliced the lead to 12-7 as 6:37 remained.

    Rodriguez added a 10-footer with 2:51 left that reduced the lead to 15-8.

    In the fourth period, Oporta tossed in two goals with the first coming on a five-meter penalty shot at 4:47 that sliced the lead to 18-9 and added another five-meter toss with 2:24 left that sliced the lead to 18-11.

    Rodriguez’s 20-footer with 3:07 remaining cut the lead to 18-10.

    Bakrgyan’s point blank attempt and 6:06 on the ticker made it 18-8 and Ilangesyan closed out the match with a five-footer and 1:33 left that made it an eight-goal deficit.

    “All around I thought we did well. Everybody was involved in the offense. There was a lot of good ball movement and finding the right guys,” Arakelyan said. “We’re looking forward to the Pacific League tournament, where we hope to make another run for the league title.”

  • Burroughs Football Stymies Glendale, Wins 34-12

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    For the second week in a row, the Burroughs High football team played well and registered a win in a Pacific League game.

    On Friday evening against a much-improved Glendale team, the Bears found a way to emerge with a 34-12 victory at Memorial Field.

    After dropping four consecutive games to commence the season, Burroughs has picked up a little bit of steam and momentum and with that lots of confidence.

    The defense looked especially sharp as it intercepted three passes which halted a few promising drives.

    Keith Recchia is the Bears’ defensive coordinator and sees much improvement in his unit.

    “The guys are starting to play their responsibility and give the effort in doing so,” he said. “The first drive shook us a little bit, but our guys were able to gather themselves and get a stop.”

    First-year Burroughs head coach Jose Calzadilla saw his team play well in spurts but wants more consistency.

    “It was a tale of two halves. First half we executed well. Our plan came together nicely. Our guys haven’t been in the position of having a big lead at the half,” he said. “So, we came out flat and gave Glendale hope.”

    Calzadilla added: “To their credit, their coach rallied them niceIy in the second half,” he offered. “Our poor play in the third quarter is hopefully a lesson learned for the future. I told the guys that we need to be better than that if we want to win games in the future.”

    Burroughs used a potent two-headed running attack, and it yielded four rushing touchdowns with junior quarterback Brandon Chapparo (102 yards on 16 rushes) chipping in with two scores.

    Chapparo’s first score came with 39 seconds left in the opening quarter and saw the Bears (2-4 and 2-1 in league) forge a 7-0 advantage.

    The drive began at the Burroughs 10-yard line and ended 13 plays later with Chapparo’s short run.

    Chapparo added an eight-yard scamper early in the fourth period that pushed the Bears in front 34-6 and capped a six-play, 34-yard march.

    For good measure, Chapparo, who completed 10 of 21 attempts for 140 yards, tossed in a nicely timed seven-yard pass to senior wide receiver/free safety King Milhouse for his only reception with 2:21 left in the second frame for a 21-0 lead.

    The drive began after an interception by senior wide receiver Brendan Smith and took 11 plays and covered 45 yards.

    After missing several games with an injury, junior running back/defensive back Carson Shrode (31 yards on eight carries) contributed a two-yard scoring run with 8:18 left in the second period for a 14-0 edge.

    When senior running back Sho Fujita (81 yards on 16 rushes) carried the ball into the end zone on a 17-yard burst, the Bears pulled ahead 28-0.

    Glendale (1-5 and 0-3 in league), despite having only one win, is a much better product than in year’s past.

    Senior quarterback Elijah Venegas, who hit 19 of 34 for 207 yards, sets the tone offensively and is assisted by the hard running of sophomore Arman Papazyan.

    The Nitros sliced the lead to 28-6 when Papazyan (41 yards on 12 carries) found the end zone on an 18-yard burst and 7:56 left in the third period, ending a 65-yard, 10-play trek.

    On the next to last play of the game, Venegas tossed a short pass to junior wide receiver/cornerback Arlen Aivzian (79 yards on four receptions), who then raced 65 yards into paydirt that cut the deficit to 22 points.

    Senior cornerback/free safety Jamar Saint-Fleur and junior wide receiver Tony Sanchez each had one pick for the Bears.

    Burroughs will be on the field next versus host Hoover on Friday with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

  • Burbank Boys Water Polo Plays Tough, Loses To Crescenta Valley 17-11

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    A sizzling fourth quarter was the undoing of the Burbank High boys’ water polo team in a Pacific League match versus Crescenta Valley on Thursday evening.

    Entering the final period, the Bulldogs trailed 11-7, but were outscored 6-3 over the last seven minutes and fell 17-11 at the Glendale High Aquatics Center.

    Senior Anthony Gemdzhyan and junior Avvo Ilangesyan both scored three goals for Burbank.

    David Arakelyan is Burbank’s head coach and liked what he saw for the first three periods.

    “I thought we played well for three quarters, keeping up with a team that I think is very deep and talented top to bottom,” he said. “I thought we did a very good job of maintaining their offense throughout and even then, we found ourselves facing a two or three goal deficit heading into the fourth quarter, so it’s definitely tough, but we’re going to learn from this and come back stronger for the league tournament.”  

    Crescenta Valley had Dion Alexanians and Alex Hovannisyan each tally five goals as each accounted for three goals in the second half.

    “We kept control of the game on offense and defense. The officiating was playoff level where they expected players to work and earn their goals,” he said. “We are in a physical league and it was a physical game.”

    The match was tied 3-3 after the first period but the Falcons (14-4 and 5-0 in league) held a 6-4 advantage at halftime.

    Crescenta Valley scored five points while allowing Burbank (7-9 and 2-3 in league) four goals in the third quarter.

    “On offense I like the scoring opportunities we were creating,” Sakonju said. “High percentage plays. Burbank made many good defensive stops to hold us back. We made an error during an ejection which gave them a penalty shot.”

    Sakonju added: “We needed to wear them down and you saw them trail off during our counterattack,” he said. “Key guys took control of the game to break it open. I love that the guys came away with a win but determined that they each want to improve their game.”

    When Ilangesyan scored on a five-footer toss with nine seconds left in the third stanza, the hosts came within 11-8.

    The Falcons, who were outshot 26-24, came out and scored two consecutive goals in the third period as Hovhannisyan nailed a 10-footer with 6:29 left that made it 7-4 and Hovhannisyan added a five-footer with 5:51 remaining to make it 8-4.

    Burbank junior Tigran Hovsepyan’s seven-footer with 5:26 left on the clock trimmed the lead to 8-5.

    Brayden Shabani’s seven-footer with 4:23 left increased the cushion to 9-5 but consecutive goals from sophomore Daniel Gemdzhyan from five feet and 3:46 left made it 9-6 and senior Anthony Gemdzhyan’s 10-footer and 3:12 left sliced the lead to 9-7.

    A short toss from Alexanians with 1:26 remaining made it 10-7 and a five-meter penalty throw from Daron Alexanians with thirty-eight seconds left made it 11-7.

    The Falcons then scored three consecutive goals in the fourth period as Hovhannisyan found the range on a five-footer and 6:35 left for a 12-8 lead.

    Edgar Gastyan drilled a 16-footer and 5:51 left for a 13-8 lead and Dion Alexanians made it 14-8 with a 10-footer thirty-seven seconds later.

    A short throw by Anthony Gemdzyan and 4:19 left cut the lead to 14-9 but three consecutive goals by the Falcons stretched the margin to 17-9.

    They were tallied by Shabani from seven feet and 2:53 left for a 15-9 lead, Daron Alexanians from nine feet and 2:13 left on the clock for a 16-9 cushion and Dion Alexanians from five feet with 1:39 remaining that made it 17-9.

    Daniel Gemdzhyan’s six-footer with 55 seconds left trimmed the lead to 17-10. Anthony Gemdzhyan’s tally from five feet, thirty-four seconds later, made it 17-11.

    In the first period, Shabani’s five-footer with 4:28 left kicked off the scoring but Ilangesyan evened it at 1-1 with a five-meter penalty throw and 3:51 left on the clock.

    Shabani’s 10-foot tally and 3:15 remaining made it 2-1 and after Babelyan’s 10-foot rainbow and 2:55 left tied it at 2-2.

    Burbank took a brief 3-2 lead when senior Michael Bakrgyan’s 12-footer with 1:15 remaining.

    Hovhannisyan’s point-blank shot with twenty seconds left tied it at 3-3.

    Babelyan opened the second quarter with a 12-footer as 5:52 was left that gave the Falcons a 4-3 lead and Babelyan added a point-blank shot with 5:16 left for a 5-3 lead.

    Hovhannisyan’s short blast and 4:39 left extended the lead to 6-2 before Ilangesyan’s five-foot tally and 2:33 remaining narrowed the lead to 6-4.

    The first half was a defensive struggle.

    “The defense did a great job of identifying who they were going to, double teaming, and forcing turnovers,” Sakonju said. “Only a few lapses in being consistent with the defense first mentality.”

    Arakelyan is sure his team will respond after this loss.

    “We’ve never failed to prove that we could come back from adversity, and this is just another one of those times that we’re facing it as a group,” he said. “I’m excited to see how the boys will respond from this setback.”

  • Burbank Football Loses To Visiting Muir 58-28

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    It’s late September and the Pacific League champion may have been crowned when Burbank High’s football team hosted powerful Muir on Friday night.

    When the clock hit triple zeroes at jammed-packed Kemp-Kallem Field on a brisk evening, the Mustangs emerged with a convincing 58-28 triumph over the Bulldogs.

    Burbank turned the ball over on two interceptions and had a fumble that was returned for a 22-yard touchdown by junior lineman/tight end Jason Brown with 8:25 left in the second period for a 28-7 lead.

    Burbank junior quarterback Deshawn Laporte’s 15-yard pass to senior wide receiver/strong safety Chase Miles (45 yards on two receptions) early in the third quarter, made the score 35-21.

    “It was a tough loss last night. As a team we didn’t play our best,” Miles explained. “We game-planned for their offense all week but couldn’t execute in the game. We just have to bounce back from this loss and learn from our mistakes for next week.”

    Muir led 14-7 after the first quarter and the visitors were in front 35-14 at halftime. The Mustangs also took a 45-28 advantage heading to the fourth period.

    Hector Valencia is Burbank’s head coach and even in defeat, thought his field general played hard.

    “Deshawn did a good job getting away from their really good defensive line,” he said of his signal-caller who hit 19 of 36 for 324 yards and two picks. 

    Muir showed its might by tallying a 27-yard field goal with 7:47 left in the third quarter by senior Matthew Zuniga to make it 38-21 and added three touchdowns over the next twenty-three minutes.

    Laporte’s 30-yard scoring toss to Miles evened the game at 7-7 with 5:20 left in the opening frame.

    The Bulldogs (3-2 and 1-1 in league) drew within 28-14 on a Laporte to senior wide receiver/cornerback Elijah Pendleton (18 yards on two receptions) 12-yard pass and 2:26 remaining in the opening half.

    Laporte unloaded his fourth scoring pass with 5:22 left in the third period when he found sophomore wide receiver/safety Tyler Hudson (175 yards on eight catches) on a 37-yard aerial as Burbank came within 38-28.

    “We had a good week of practice and the team was prepared to face Muir,” Valencia said. “Unfortunately turnovers really hurt us today, plus a few critical penalties that killed some drives. Our players were in position on most of the big plays they had. They simply just out hustled us.”

    Valencia explained what it takes to beat a team like the Mustangs.

    “Muir just does not have many weaknesses, so if you make a small mistake, they capitalize on it really fast,” he said.

    Muir senior quarterback Trey Gamble also threw four touchdowns and his first came on a five-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver/defensive back Ethan Leyland as 9:44 was left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

    With 1:31 left before halftime, Gamble (14 of 20 for 290 yards) found senior wide receiver/defensive back Alijah Smith (147 yards on five receptions) on a 63-yard strike for a 35-14 advantage.

    When Gamble and Smith hooked up on a 28-yard toss and 1:55 left in the third quarter, the Mustangs (4-1 and 2-0 in league) led 45-28.

    Gamble’s last scoring toss went to junior Deveon Blaylock (111 yards on five catches) and covered 38 yards and made it 52-28 with 8:41 left.

    Muir moved ahead 14-7 late in the first quarter on a one-yard jaunt by junior running back/linebacker David Cannon.

    Senior running back/defensive back Alijah Parker (11 carries for 60 yards) tacked on a nine-yard scoring run for the Mustangs that made it 21-7 and 8:45 left in the first half.

    Senior wide receiver Exodus Freeman had 66 yards on five receptions and junior tight end/middle linebacker Aiden Dagher added 20 yards on two catches for the Bulldogs.

    Leyland had the first interception for the Mustangs and junior wide receiver/defensive back Drew Long had the other.

    Burbank’s next league game will be against host Arcadia on Friday with a 7 p.m. start.

    By Rick Assad

    An early first quarter lead evaporated but a late rally in the fourth period made it somewhat interesting for the Burroughs High boys’ water polo team in a Pacific League match versus host Hoover.

    On Tuesday afternoon, the Tornadoes took out the Bears 15-10 despite allowing six goals in the last frame.

    Nicolas Oporta, who led the Bears (3-8 and 0-2 in league) with four goals, had three tallies in the fourth quarter and Lucas Spratt, a junior varsity player who was called up to the varsity, accounted for two goals in the final period.

    Armen Tarakhchyan and David Tarkhchyan each powered in five goals for the Tornadoes (9-7 and 2-0 in league).

    The pair combined for six of the nine goals in the second half as the hosts outshot the visitors 19-13 over that stretch. Hoover outshot Burroughs 32-26 overall.

    Robert Tovmasyan added two goals for Hoover with one coming in the third and fourth periods.

    The score after one period was 2-2 and 6-3 in favor of Hoover at the intermission. The Tornadoes marched in front 11-6 after three frames.

    Burroughs’ Nicola Nasev scored from seven feet with 5:01 left in the fourth period that cut the lead to 12-5.

    Oporta added a clever follow-up from five feet with 4:13 left making it 12-6.

    Oporta’s five-footer with 3:27 remaining sliced it to 13-7.

    When Oporta nailed a 12-footer with 1:49 left on the ticker, the Bears came within 14-8.

    Spratt’s 12-footer with 1:49 on the clock sliced the advantage to 14-9 and Spratt’s 14-footer narrowed the margin to five goals.

    In the opening frame, Matthew Rodriguez slipped in a seven-footer as 5:23 was left for a 1-0 advantage.

    When Nasev found the range from 16 feet and 4:00 left on the clock, the Bears pulled ahead 2-0.

    The Bears’ only goal in the second period came from Lincoln Morrow as 7.8 seconds remained and the visitors trailed 6-3.

    The lone goal in the third frame for Burroughs came with 3:10 on the clock as Oporta unloaded a short toss that trimmed the lead to 8-4.

    Armen Tarakhchyan’s five-foot goal with 2:19 left in the first period cut the lead to 2-1 and David Tarkhchyan’s five-meter penalty toss with 12.9 seconds remaining evened it at 2-2.

    With 4:48 left in the second period, a 10-footer from Arthur Tarkchyan saw the Tornadoes dash ahead 3-2.

    Armen Tarakhchyan’s point-blank shot thirty-nine seconds later made it 4-2 and with 2:59 left Tigran Gharibyan’s 10-footer increased the lead to 5-2.

    David Tarkhchyan’s tally with 1:49 remaining in the first half made it 6-2.

    The Tornadoes outscored the Bears 5-1 in the third period as Arthur Tarkhchyan drilled a 10-footer with 5:32 left for a 7-3 cushion and Tovmasyan added a 12-footer with 4:20 remaining for an 8-3 cushion.

    David Tarkhchyan tossed in a five-meter penalty throw with 2:58 remaining on the ticker for a 9-4 lead.

    Armen Tarakhchyan threw in a seven-footer with 1:06 left for a 10-4 advantage and David Tarkhcyan had a breakaway tally with 37.5 seconds left for a seven-goal margin.

    In the fourth period, Armen Tarakhchyan had a five-foot goal with 3:48 left for a 13-6 lead and added a seven-footer with 33.8 seconds left that made it 15-9.

  • Burroughs Football Remains Winless After Loss To Pasadena

    For the second game in a row, the Burroughs High football team allowed more than fifty points, played better in the second half and it wasn’t nearly enough.

    On this Friday night, Burroughs fell to Pasadena 54-14 in the Pacific League opener at Memorial Field and like the Bears’ setback to Los Altos eight days ago, had more energy in the second half as they scored both touchdowns across the final 24 minutes.

    Sho Fujita was a bright spot as the junior running back had 167 yards on 31 carries for Burroughs (0-4 and 0-1 in league).

    Fujita’s two-yard carry with 2:30 left in the third quarter cut the lead to 35-7 that capped an 80-yard, 13-play march.

    Jose Calzadilla is Burroughs first-year head coach and likes what he saw in his talented back.

    “Sho was great. So proud of him. Stepping up and running the football for us,” he said. “He runs hard and never shies away from contact. He’s evolving as a runner.”

    Junior quarterback Sean Ghaman (eight for 21 and 97 yards with three interceptions) delivered a 34-yard scoring pass to senior wide receiver Brendan Smith (39 yards on two receptions) with 7:56 left in the fourth quarter that ended an eight-play, 72-yard drive that sliced the lead to 41-14.

    Calzadilla knows that his team is young. 

    “For us it’s about eliminating mistakes,” he said. “It cost us drives and scoring opportunities. That will be a great measure of this team. How they grow by playing as mistake free as possible.’

    Pasadena (2-2 and 1-0 in league) led 8-0 after the opening frame and pulled ahead 28-0 at the intermission.

    The Bulldogs pulled in front 35-7 entering the fourth period and capped the night by outscoring the Bears 19-7 in the fourth period.

    Pasadena junior quarterback Dutch Burbidge accounted for 288 yards on 18 of 25 with four scoring passes and two rushing touchdowns.

    Ron Jones is the Pasadena head coach.

    “I liked the fact we won the game. I saw some good things from young players on both offense and defense,” he said. “Still don’t think we are executing as well as we can.”

    The Bulldogs made it 6-0 with 4:09 left in the initial frame when Burbidge found senior wide receiver/defensive back Sebastian Clark (21 yards on two catches) with a 12-yard pass that finalized a 73-yard, 10-play drive.

    Late in the frame after a punt was blocked and it rolled into the end zone, the visitors led 8-0 on a safety.

    Early in the second period, Burbidge added a 16-yard scoring run as it became 14-0.

    Roughly four minutes later, the Bulldogs’ advantage ballooned to 20-0 after senior defensive back Michael Ambrose returned an interception 71 yards.

    With less than a minute remaining in the second period, Burbidge unloaded a 69-yard scoring strike to senior wide receiver Kyle Robertson (92 yards on three receptions) and Burbidge spotted freshman tight end Delano King for the two-point conversion to make it 28-0.

    When Burbidge connected with King (36 yards on two catches) on a 22-yard pass play and 10:26 left in the third quarter the lead became 35-0 that ended a 70-yard march.

    Burbidge added his second scoring run of the night as he carried the ball into the end zone from 17 yards as 11:46 remained in the fourth period for a 41-7 edge that capped an 11-play, 70-yard excursion.

    With 5:52 left in the game Burbidge added a 35-yard scoring toss to freshman wide receiver/defensive back Damari Pitts (99 yards on six catches) for a 48-14 lead that closed a 46-yard trek.

    King’s 97-yard interception return as time ran out made it a forty-point lead.

    Burroughs will next play a league game on Thursday night at Arcadia with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

  • Burroughs Girls Volleyball Scores Four-Set Triumph

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    Because of disciplinary reasons, the Burroughs High girls’ volleyball team used its reserves for much of the match versus host Glendale on Tuesday.

    Those players more than held their own during a four-setter claimed by the Bears, 25-16, 23-25, 25-14, 25-8 in a Pacific League match.

    Both clubs were stubborn and played with intensity and grit and each had shining moments.

    Longtime Burroughs coach Edwin Real set the tone of the match early on.

    “We had to discipline a couple players so it was a forced rest of the starters,” he explained. “We put a lot of pressure on those that were on the court. They responded well.”

    The Bears (10-1 and 4-0 in league) held a distinct advantage in that they have played nearly three times the matches as the Nitros (1-3 and 1-3 in league).

    The advantage became 9-3 on a kill from senior outside hitter Sienna Lay, who didn’t play in the first two sets.

    “Yeah, the starters didn’t play too much and I’m not sure it was our best match but a win’s a win,” she said.

    Lay’s push made it 11-3 and Lay’s rocket saw the Bears pull ahead 13-4.

    Senior setter Savana Lay, who also didn’t play in the first two games added back-to-back service winners for a 14-4 cushion and 15-4 lead.

    Sienna Lay’s push made it 17-5 and her service winner increased the margin to 18-5.

    Hanson’s push made it 23-8 and senior defensive specialist Andrea Slobig’s service ace made it 24-8.

    Senior middle blocker Khloe Pavia, who likewise didn’t play much in the early sets, sealed the game and match with a kill.

    “I think that the game went very well and I’m excited we picked it up after that second set,” she stated. “I think my team did a really good job at staying focused, together and persevering.”

    Burroughs captured the initial game but Glendale led 4-2 on a push from Serafina Hamo and 7-4 on a kill from Megan Angele.

    From this juncture, the Bears picked up the pace and it was tied 10-10 on a block from senior opposite hitter Leila Lazaar.

    Burroughs then forged ahead 14-11 on a stuff from junior outside hitter Trinity Taylan as the Nitros called time out. The Bears then dashed in front 15-12 on a mishit from Angele.

    Hanson’s push made it 17-13 and a tapper from junior middle blocker Zoe Davis saw the Bears march in front 21-14.

    Burroughs won four of the next six points including Lazaar’s winner for the set.

    The third set was close early as it was deadlocked 2-2 on Glendale’s Leah Alfaro’s kill.

    It was 3-3 on a hitting error from Glendale’s Harmony Cawit, 5-5 on Hanson’s ace and 6-6 on a Glendale net serve.

    It was tied at 7-7 on Pavia’s kill and 8-8 on Sienna Lay’s hitting miscue.

    The Bears went on a 3-1 spurt that included Sienna Lay’s kill for an 11-8 lead and pulled ahead 16-12 on an ace from junior defensive specialist Emma De Cunzo Steinglass.

    Pavia’s spike made it 19-13 and Pavia’s blast put the Bears in front 21-13. Pavia wasn’t done as she made it 23-13 and 24-13 on back-to-back kills and Pavia’s rocket gave the Bears the set.

    In the second game, Glendale led 4-2 on a kill from Hamo and 7-4 on Alfaro’s winner. The Nitros shimmied in front 15-11 on four straight aces from Cawit.

    An ace from Rebekah Cruz made it 22-19, Cawit’s service ace made it 24-22 and a hitting miscue from Pavia gave the Nitros the game.

    On Thursday, Burroughs will visit Crescenta Valley in a league match and it will begin at 3:45 p.m.

  • Burbank Defeats Hoover In Five Sets

    By Rick Assad

    Two minutes shy of two hours is what it took for the Burbank High girls’ volleyball team to vanquish host Hoover in five sets in a Pacific League match on Tuesday afternoon.

    The match went in favor of the Bulldogs who took the first two sets before the Tornadoes rallied to claim the next two.

    Both teams played well, and each showed signs that more good things are in store.

    Officially, the scores were 25-18, 25-14, 20-25, 22-25, 15-11.

    Carmen Camacho-Platas is the Burbank varsity head coach.

    “I thought Hoover was scrappy and had a lot of hustle. I told my girls right before the fifth set that so far, Hoover wants this win more than they did and it was showing in the dropped sets,” she said. “I think that lit a fire which led to them upping their intensity to win the last set. I was happy to see us running our middles much more than we have in other matches, so we’re making progress.”

    The decider was tied at 2-2 before the visitors went on a 7-1 run to lead 9-3 on an ace from senior outside hitter Lorin Azizian.

    Burbank’s advantage became 10-5 on a kill from sophomore opposite hitter Natalie Eguiazarian but Hoover charged back and came within 12-9 on a push out of bounds from senior setter Grace O’Connor.

    The Bulldogs righted the ship and pulled ahead 14-10 on a spike from Azizian and Azizian’s blast clinched the set and match.

    Burbank (6-9 and 1-1 in league) seized a 7-1 lead in the opening game as freshman outside hitter Emerson Chong nailed a winner.

    Junior middle blocker Madison Yosh’s push extended the cushion to 10-3 and Chong’s ace made it 12-5.

    Yosh’s service winner made it 15-7 and Azizian’s spike saw the Bulldogs race to a 17-11 advantage.

    Erika Kirakosyan’s bullet witnessed Hoover come within 18-13 as Burbank asked for stoppage in play.

    Chong’s service ace handed the Bulldogs a 21-14 lead and Chong’s service winner made it 23-14. The initial set went to Burbank on a kill from Azizian.

    The Bulldogs grabbed the second set after leading 4-2 on an ace from junior libero Chloe Gallagher and back-to-back aces from Gallagher that made it 6-2 and 7-2 as Hoover (0-4 and 0-2 in league) asked for a breather.

    Yosh’s kill made it 11-3, Yosh’s stuff extended the lead to 14-6 and Yosh added three service winners to make it 17-6 as Hoover requested a time out.

    Gallagher’s consecutive aces made it 23-12 and 24-12 and a tapper from Yosh finalized the game.

    Burbank controlled the early portion of the third set as the visitors led 5-2 on an ace from Azizian.

    Hoover fought back and drew within 8-6 on a kill from Isabella Trejo-Galvez. The Bulldogs led 10-8 on a winner from Azizian and scurried in front 15-12 on a push from Eguiazarian.

    A kill from Hoover’s Sona Yegnanyan made it 18-17 in favor of the home team and Yegnanyan’s service ace increased the lead to 21-18.

    Trejo-Galvez’s ace made it 24-20 and a hitting miscue by Azizian saw Hoover win its first set.

    Burbank was in control early and often during the fourth set as it led 7-4 on a kill from O’Connor.

    It became 12-8 on an ace from Azizian but Hoover charged ahead 16-15 on an ace from Yegnanyan.

    Harutyunyan’s back-to-back aces made it 21-18 and 22-18 as Burbank asked for time.

    Kirakosyan’s stuff saw the Tornadoes inch within 24-22 and Peyton Braun’s service ace sealed the deal as each team won two sets.

    Stephanie Yost is the head coach and Director of Volleyball Operations and was equally pleased.

    “I love that the girls dug deep today,” she said. “The girls trusted Coach Carmen and played great under her instruction and made the corrections that were needed to get the win.”

  • Girls Volleyball Preview: Burroughs, Burbank, Providence All Look For Upside

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    One of the three local girls’ varsity volleyball teams should be competitive and two are having it somewhat tough.

    Burroughs High puts a solid product on the floor year in and year out while Burbank has been decent and Providence is currently rebuilding.

    The Bears are coming off an 18-13 season, 6-4 for third place in the Pacific League and went to CIF Southern Section Division IV playoffs and beat Northwood in five sets in the opening round and falling to Millikan in four games in the next round.

    Edwin Real has been the Bears’ coach for some time and has seven seniors at his disposal.

    “Our overall expectation is to play as a team, make a good playoff run and finish at the top of the Pacific League,” he said of the club.

    There is much for Real to be excited about this season.

    “Our strengths are serving, passing, hitting and setting and are good and consistent,” he noted. “Our offense has been working well together.”

    The seniors include outside hitter Sienna Lay, middle blocker Khloe Pavia, opposite hitter Leila Lazaar, setter Talia Grandinetti, setter Savana Lay, opposite hitter Izzy Hanson and defensive specialist Andrea Slobig.

    Lazaar and Hanson are both making the jump from the junior varsity.

    There are four juniors on the team, and they are outside hitter Zoe Davis, outside hitter Trinity Taylan, defensive specialist Joanna Brain and defensive specialist Emma De Cunzo Steinglass.

    The rest of the team includes three sophomores and they are outside hitter Amelia Walsh, outside hitter Kylee Beveridge and middle blocker Alex Hammeke.

    “Khloe, Savana, Sienna have all improved over the summer, as well as Emma and Zoe,” Real pointed out. 

    The Bulldogs have a first-year coach in Stephanie Yosh, and she has four seniors on the team to provide leadership.

    They include outside hitter Anya Oganian, outside hitter Lorin Azizian, outside hitter setter Reagan Shchur and setter Grace O’Connor  

    Five juniors dot the roster and they are outside hitter Lana Kang, libero Chloe Gallagher, defensive specialist Frankie Kim, middle hitter Madison Yosh and setter Eva Snyder.

    There are a trio of sophomores on the team and they are opposite hitter Natalie Egiazarian, defensive specialist Ani Kivijian and middle Gabriella Jarra.

    Two first-year players are on the team and they are outside hitter Emerson Chong and opposite hitter Samantha Yosh.

    Yosh is trying to build something at Burbank, which went 9-26-2 and 1-7 in league for seventh place.

    “Ultimately, I want the girls to have fun and grow as athletes,” she said. “Some of them have been through a lot with the high coaching turnover, so one of our top priorities as their coaches this season is to provide stability and consistency.”

    Yosh knows it’s not going to be easy but she and her staff are ready for the role of getting the program on track.

    “That way, they can focus on improving, competing, and getting wins. In the league, we expect to be competitive in every match and play with purpose and intent,” she added. “One of our long-term goals is to build a strong foundation for the program through accountability, respect, integrity, grit, and pride when wearing the Burbank jersey.”

    Yosh also looks forward to the season.

    “What I like about this team is its diversity. It’s not often that you have a varsity team with all four grade levels represented. Every girl on this team earned her spot through hard work and dedication, both at tryouts and in practice.” she stated. “I love that they support one another and communicate effectively to make immediate adjustments during games and practices.”

    Yosh added: “They take Co-Coach Carmen [Camacho-Platas] seriously, respect her leadership, and have embraced her coaching style,” she continued. “I’m excited to see this group grow together, compete hard, and win this season.”

    Sam Tozlian is Providence’s head man and is hopefully optimistic about the season despite carving out an 11-15 mark and 5-9 for fifth in the Prep League.

    “This is a rebuilding year for us. Last season we graduated nearly all of our starters and the player who was poised to be one of our best players transferred to Chatsworth,” he offered. “That being said, we are moving to a league (Independence) where we are one of the favorites instead of being underdogs like we were every year in the Prep League. I expect to finish in the top two and finally make the playoffs.”

    The Pioneers have three seniors and they are Giselle Pacheco, Cate Mejia and Isa Aves.

    Nine players are juniors and include Sarah Swinhart, Natalia Avanesian, Kailey Ho, Gianna La Fontaine, Lori Sepillian, Zoey Barrows, Nasiyah Chapman, Sydney Forlano and Emily Steward.

    Three are sophomores and include Sofia Foster, Melania Adjamian and Gigi Aves.

    “Gigi is a setter and our captain and the best player,” Tozlian said. “This is her second season on varsity.”

    Chapman is a transfer from Burroughs and is an outside hitter.

    “She played for San Gabriel Elite’s Top 16 and under team last year and is going to be our primary finisher once she is cleared to play,” Tozlian noted.

    Ho is also an outside hitter and was on the San Gabriel Elite Top 16 and under team.

    “Kailey is entering her third year on varsity but this will be her first year playing outside hitter, but we have high expectations,” Tozlian said.

  • Boys Water Polo Preview: Bulldogs, Bears Are Strong, Talented, Focused

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    Burbank High and Burroughs each placed a boys’ water polo team in the CIF Southern Section playoffs a season ago.

    The Bulldogs went 18-13 in all matches and finished 5-2 in second place the Pacific League for and lost in the Division II opening round.

    This squad wants to do even better and under David Arakelyan, the one-time Burroughs water polo standout and Bulldog coach, there is a good chance the team will be stronger.

    The team includes three goalies and they are Mikael Melkonyan, Erik Asiran and Dion Keshishyan.

    The seniors on the team include Arthur Khachatryan, Anthony Gemdzhyan, Monteh Shamiryan, Daniel Babelyan, Jack Babelyan and Michael Bakrgyan.

    The juniors on the squad are AvVo Ilangesyan and Tigran Hovsepyan.

    There are three sophomores and include Armen Mkrtumyan, Narek Sahakyan and Daniel Gemdzhyan. The lone freshman is Michael Andinyan.

    “AvVo and Jack are our key returning players who we will look for them to make a quick impact in and out of the water,” Arakelyan said. “Michael Bakrgyan and Daniel Babelyan will have elevated roles on the squad this year.”

    Arakelyan then added: “We’re looking for some of our younger guys to step up and make an impact right away,” he said. “A lot of these boys play year-round water polo. We want to try and gel quickly. Our goal is always to win the league and make a run at CIF, and we will try to do that.”

    Arakelyan has been successful as the Bulldogs’ coach and reached the title match a few seasons ago but ultimately lost.

    “I’m very excited to start off the season with this group. I expect us to be competitive with the teams in the league and progress as the season goes along,” he said.

    Martin Ortega Jennison is the Burroughs coach and expects the team to be more than solid after going 19-8 and 4-3 for fourth place in the league.

    The Bears defeated host Beckman 8-5 in the Division IV opening round of the playoffs but lost to visiting Murrieta Valley 12-6 in the second round. 

    “I think our strength this season is that we have some experienced players stepping up and we need to,” he said. “I think we can always find ways to be competitive in every game and team we play.”

    The league is always a tough grind but one that Ortega Jennison welcomes.

    “As for the league we think we have found ourselves in a position to compete with the top four teams but it will be difficult because I believe Crescenta Valley will be very talented this year,” he stated. 

    The Bears’ players include Lincoln Morrow, Nicolas Oporta, Serob Berberyan, Evan Keller, Roan Kelly, Daniel Menchaca, Nicola Nasev, Matthew Rodriguez, Landon Quiiambao, Rocco Quiroga, Aaron Soltolongo, Jack St. Pierre and Liam Wamester.

  • Burbank Football Preview: Bulldogs Have Unfinished Business

    [ad_1]

    By Rick Assad

    There is unfinished business for the Burbank High football team after finishing 9-3 overall and reaching the CIF Southern Section Division IX quarterfinals a year ago.

    The Bulldogs took on Highland at home and fell 42-28 which snapped a seven-game winning streak which included wins over Burroughs 42-21 in the regular-season finale and 47-42 against host Monrovia in the opening-round of the playoffs.

    Hector Valencia is in his second tour of duty as Burbank’s head coach and expects the team to do well, especially in the Pacific League where the Bulldogs went 6-1 for second place behind Muir.

    “I think the league should be more competitive this year. Coaches are getting more experience, and the new ones have experience,” he said. “Muir should be the favorite with the skills they have coming back but we have quite a few returners ourselves and plan to fight for the championship and we will not shy away from the competition.”

    Having a full team and it being healthy is the key to the season, according to Valencia.

    “We need to stay healthy and get the ball to your playmakers and fly to the ball on defense,” he stated.

    Coincidentally, the Bulldogs will play every game on campus except the season finale versus city rival Burroughs on October 30.

    On September 5, Burbank will travel to Reno, Nevada, to face Galena. All the games on the schedule start at 7 p.m.

    The Bulldogs have several skilled players at key positions including junior quarterback Deshawn Laporte, who accounted for 39 touchdowns after tossing 28 through the air and 11 rushing.

    “My expectation for the team is to win the league, go to the CIF championship and then go to state,” he said. “Expectations for myself are being a leader and leading my team to a CIF championship and more.”

    Senior Elijah Pendleton played wide receiver and cornerback and averaged 50 receiving yards a game and finished with six scoring receptions in 2024

    Pendleton also ran for 73 yards per contest and added seven scoring rushes and also collected two interceptions.

    Sophomore wide receiver Tyler Hudson led the Bulldogs in receiving yards per game with 79.3 and added 11 scoring touchdowns.

    Senior Chase Miles is a wide receiver and a safety and can play anywhere on the field.

    “When it comes to competitiveness, I believe our will is very competitive this year because we still have a lot to prove,” he said. “After losing in the quarterfinals last year to Highland and then watching them win CIF, it made our whole team hungry and ready for this upcoming season.”

    Miles likes the team assembled and believes there is enough talent and potential to go a long way.

    “We still have a lot of returners and have gotten substantially better in the off-season, working out every day to improve ourselves,” he said.

    The season kicks off tomorrow at San Dimas for the Bulldogs and then they host Westwood on August 29. After a bye, Burbank plays at Crescenta Valley on September 19.

    Burbank hosts Muir on September 26 and travels to Arcadia on October 3. The Bulldogs meet Pasadena at home on October 10. On October 17, the Bulldogs hosts Hoover and then make their way to Glendale on October 24.

    The seniors include Exodus Freeman [wide receiver and slot back], William Magee [wide receiver and cornerback], Thomas Adzhemyan [running back and strong safety], Paolo Seltenreich [tight end and defensive end], Johnny Sale [wide receiver, linebacker and safety] and Noah May-Vaughn [wide receiver and cornerback].
