Bounce-back win for Burbank
Football: Bulldogs come on in second half to earn 45-26 league victory against host Pasadena.

PASADENA — If ever the Burbank High football team needed a bounce-back game, it was Friday.
The Bulldogs were knocked from the ranks of the Pacific League's unbeaten — and knocked around on the field — last week against Arcadia, as the locals suffered a 28-point loss at home.
Burbank was hoping to get back on track, and looking to stay in the race for a league championship, with a game at host Pasadena.
The Bulldogs did just that.
Behind an offensive push in the second half and a defense that came up with some big stops, Burbank got back to winning with a 45-26 triumph.
"With what happened last week, it was crucial for us to come back and have a big game tonight," said Burbank Coach Hector Valencia, whose team shared the league title last season. "Our offense played very well and our defense was able to step up."
Burbank (6-2, 4-1 in league) held just a 24-20 lead at the half, thanks largely to the efforts of running back Ulisies Ochoa. The senior had 154 yards in the first half and ended the game with 211 yards in 27 carries for two touchdowns. READ FULL STORY

MEMORIAL FIELD — Whether lack of execution or a lack of focus from the outset, things simply did not click as usual for the Burbank High football team Friday night.
A plethora of problems arrived at virtually all angles against visiting Arcadia. The Bulldogs' special teams broke down, they fumbled twice deep in their own territory and the offense limped on the injured leg of workhorse running back Ulisies Ochoa. The fiery Apaches took advantage of the lapses, rolling to a 48-20 drubbing.
"So many things could have been different," Burbank Coach Hector Valencia said. "Obviously today we did not take care of business at all."
Arcadia (4-3, 3-1 in league) struck first when a host of Apaches rushed Burbank punter David Smith, blocking the attempt and sending the football rolling out of the back of the end zone for a safety. At the end of the first quarter, Burbank (5-2, 3-1) trailed, 2-0.
From there, Arcadia tacked on 21 unanswered points. Quarterback Myles Carr hooked up with AJ Rail on a 25-yard touchdown pass, Brian Ponce rushed for a one-yard score and Carr hit Sam Crabtree on a nine-yard touchdown toss. READ FULL STORY

Injury can't stop Burbank
FOOTBALL: Even without Ochoa, Bulldogs handle Hoover to claim league win, 56-0.

MEMORIAL FIELD — Despite being without an integral part of its offense on Thursday night, the Burbank High football team still showed why it's a strong contender to repeat as Pacific League champion.
And, when Hoover lost an even bigger catalyst of its own offense before halftime of a league game at Burroughs High's Memorial Field, so also went any chance of the Tornadoes getting back in the game.
Bulldogs quarterback Adam Colman passed for 203 yards and accounted for four total touchdowns in the absence of standout running back Ulisies Ochoa, who was injured in practice earlier in the week, as Burbank posted a 56-0 victory over a reeling Hoover squad that could ne
ver find an offensive rhythm.

Burbank Creamed Glendale 56 - 8

Strong start lifts Burbank
Bulldogs build huge halftime lead and roll to Pacific League victory against Glendale, 56-8.

GLENDALE — The Burbank High football team started off Thursday night's Pacific game against Glendale with a rhythmic 60-yard touchdown drive, but it's what the Bulldogs did next that really set the tone for what would snowball into a 56-8 blowout at Moyse Field.
An onside kick — with less than three minutes elapsed in the first quarter — had the same effect on the Nitros that it did on just about everyone else in the stadium, utter surprise. It was recovered by the Bulldogs at the Nitros 49-yard line and four plays and 1:10 later Burbank led by two touchdowns.
"We were not gonna back up, we were just gonna go after them," Burbank Coach Hector Valencia said. "From what I've seen in every game, [Glendale's] been playing every team great in the first half, so I'm thinking this team is legit and it's really good, so my thing was to just to be aggressive."
Glendale (0-5, 0-2 in league) was back on its heels from that point on and never regained its balance, as Burbank (4-1, 2-0), the No. 2 team in the CIF Southeast Division, had put the game away by the early stages of the second quarter and led, 56-0, at halftime. READ FULL STORY
