Just One More Victory Each

That’s what it will take for the Burroughs and Burbank football teams to get the opportunity to face one another for the Pacific League championship.

The Bulldogs (7-1, 5-0 in league) will play Pasadena at 7 p.m. Thursday at Memorial Field. The Indians (6-2, 5-0) host Crescenta Valley at 7 p.m. Friday.

Burbank — ranked No. 3 in the CIF Southern Section Southeast Division — has to defeat Pasadena and it will be playing for their first league championship in 35 years. Burbank hasn’t actually won a league crown in 37 years, when it was a part of the Foothill League.

The Indians — ranked No. 10 in the CIF Southern Section Southeast Division — have one more stumbling block in the Falcons before they can play with a league championship on the line next week. Burroughs won a Pacific League title three years ago.

The Big Game between the cross-town rivals will take place at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at Memorial Field.
