FOOTBALL: Burbank forced to hold off pesky San Gabriel to earn nonleague victory on the road.

SAN GABRIEL — Totally dominating.
That's how the Burbank High football team looked in the first half against San Gabriel.
Totally overwhelmed.
That's the way the Bulldogs looked in the second half against the Matadors.
Burbank was able to jump out to an early 37-point lead Friday in its nonleague game on the road. It appeared as if the Bulldogs would be on the giving end of a monumental blowout, and San Gabriel looked powerless to stop the onslaught.
But Burbank began to self-destruct. However, despite a valiant comeback attempt by the Matadors in the second half, the Bulldogs were able to hold on to a 44-36 victory.
Burbank Coach Hector Valencia said he didn't think it was complacency that led to his team's struggles late against San Gabriel (0-3).
"No, I think it was just all the little mistakes that we were making," said Valencia, whose team committed four turnovers — all in the second half. "Those are the things that really killed us. But we were the ones that shot ourselves in the foot."
The Bulldogs (2-1), ranked No. 4 in the CIF Southern Section Southeast Division, did receive a fine effort from senior running back Ulises Ochoa. Ochoa ran for 184 yards in 22 carries and had touchdowns of five, 22 and 12 yards. READ FULL STORY

Burbank sunk by Chaminade
Burbank sunk by Chaminade
FOOTBALL: No. 1-ranked Bulldogs unable to win second game of the season, 37-6.
By Emin Avakian, Special to the Leader
September 10, 2010
WEST HILLS — It took less than 30 seconds for Burbank High quarterback Adam Colman to find Jose Rodriguez in stride for an 80-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, that was the lone bright spot on offense Friday night in a nonleague game against host Chaminade, which dominated both sides of the ball en route to a 37-6 victory.
The Eagles (1-0) — ranked No. 3 in the CIF Southern Section Western Division — brushed off the touchdown by the Bulldogs — No. 1 in the Southeast Division — with one of their own less than two minutes later, and had already put up 30 on the scoreboard before Colman and Rodriguez prevented the shutout.
"This was a big game for us, because that's a quality program over there," Chaminade Coach Ed Croson said. "The kids were really excited to play tonight."
The Eagles sure did look excited against the Bulldogs (1-1), but also proved they were ready, as they drove the ball downfield and got rushing touchdowns from Tru Jarvis on their first two drives of the game.
Jarvis was unkind to the Bulldogs' defense, running for 121 yards in 13 carries and three touchdowns —the last coming in the fourth quarter when the game was long out of reach.

Burbank starts out right, 41-39
FOOTBALL: Bulldogs hold on to defeat Warren, 41-39, in nonleague season opener on the road.
DOWNEY — Burbank coaches will have to wait at least another week if they want to see what their defense is capable of.
Reason being there was not much defense played Friday night when the Bulldogs hit the road in a Zero Week nonleague opener against Warren.
Fortunately for the Bulldogs, the Bears' defense didn't play that well, as Burbank managed to get out of Justice Stadium with a 41-39 nonleague victory.
"We expected a close game," said Burbank Coach Hector Valencia, whose team is ranked No. 3 in the CIF Southern Section Southwest preseason poll. "We knew they have a good team over there, especially with a good quarterback and running back."
Bears quarterback Sam Bettencourt and running back Jamill Magee ran up, down and sideways against the Bulldogs defense.
Magee did the most damage, totaling 180 yards in 18 carries, including four touchdown runs, the last one giving the Bears a 39-35 lead with 2:22 remaining in the contest.
As it played out throughout the game, however, Magee and the Bears' offense was let down by the team's defense, which committed two penalties on Burbank's ensuing drive that allowed them to take over on the Bears' 47 without completing a pass or running for positive yardage.
From there, Adam Colman completed four of seven passes, including the game-winning touchdown to Jose Rodriguez.
Colman and Rodriguez also hooked up in the third quarter on an eight-yard touchdown that gave the Bulldogs a 23-20 advantage. READ REST OF STORY HERE
