With plenty of resolve and determination, the Burroughs girls basketball team ended 2012 with the same aspirations for 2013: a championship trophy in hand. Sidney Ortega scored 21 points to lead the Indians to the West Coast Festival Holiday Tournament title over St. Monica, 65-57. A total of 32 teams participated in the five day tournament.

Senior Aysia Shellmire added 14 points, including 10 huge points in the fourth quarter, Bailee Trotta chipped in with 13, and All-Tournament selection Davina Del Castillo contributed 15 rebounds, seven assists and six points.

“This gives us a lot of confidence and I think we will raise up and take our skills to another level,” said Shellmire, a three-year starter for JBHS. “This is my last year and I’m ready to go all out. I want to focus on the team and getting it done.”

Burroughs (11-2) fell behind 8-2 to begin the game but responded with an emphatic 15-4 run to take a 17-12 lead.

Tied at 17 apiece early in the second quarter, Trotta knocked down an open 12-footer to cap a 14-1 run to make the score 31-18.

The Indians led at halftime, 33-22, and increased their advantage to 46-31 late in the third quarter after Trotta coverted a rare four-point play. She was fouled on a three-point basket from the right wing and made the subsequent free throw.

Trailing 50-38 to begin the fourth quarter, St. Monica (13-3)  rallied behind the inspiring play of Briana Harris who scored a game-high and tournament record 40 points.

Harris scored the first 10 Mariner points of the final period to cut the deficit to 50-48.

With 4:28 remaining in the contest, Shellmire stepped up and hit a soft turnaround jumper from 10 feet out to give the Indians a 52-48 lead. After a St. Monica field goal, Shellmire came through again with back-to-back offensive rebound put-backs to extend the lead to 56-50.

Shellmire wasn’t finished. After Harris connected on a three-pointer from the top of the key, Shellmire hit another smooth jumper from the left elbow followed by a layup for a 60-55 lead with 2:05 to go.

A beautifully designed backdoor cut for a layup by Ortega after a timeout made it 62-55 with less than a minute left.

“I was very happy to see my team be able to maintain composure and make some big plays,” Burroughs Coach Vicky Oganyan said. “We responded with our own offense and that was good to see.”

Harris did all she could for St. Monica scoring 15 of her 40 points in the fourth quarter. Shellmire carried Burroughs in the final period with her 10 pivotal points. It was a dual that left the crowd buzzing in admiration for each player.

“I don’t know what came over me,” Shellmire said. “I didn’t have a very good third quarter so I felt I needed to step up.”

Shellmire did and the Indians are now 11-2 as a result.

“I am happy with the way we are playing,” Oganyan said. “It’s nice but we have to focus on league. Everybody in league will be ready for us. Now we have a target on us.” 

Burroughs begins Pacific League action on Friday at 5:30 p.m. at Glendale High.

 

Burroughs Wins Consolation Championship of Chaminade Christmas Classic

What a start to the season for the Burroughs boys basketball team. After claiming the Maranatha Tournament championship to begin the year, the Tribe took third place at the Bell Jeff Holiday Tournament. Now you can add a third trophy for the upstart Indians.

Behind the play of All-Tournament selection Lawrence White, Burroughs (10-2) defeated Golden Valley, 69-62, to win the consolation championship of the Chaminade Christmas Classic. White scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds while teammates Chris Hovasapian added 17 points and Jorge Flores-Pere chipped in with 11.

The Indians jumped out early, 11-2, only to see the lead slip away and trail by nine points in the second quarter. JBHS responded with a nice run to take a 28-26 lead into halftime. Behind the sharp shooting of Hovasapian, Burroughs began to pull away from Golden Valley with a 20-8 third quarter explosion to take a 48-34 lead into the fourth period. Hovasapian connected on three three-pointers in the quarter.

Burroughs increased their lead to 20 points in the fourth quarter. JBHS won three consecutive contests in the tournament after losing to Westlake in the first round.

“I am real happy with a solid pre-season,” Burroughs Coach Adam Hochberg said after the game.

The Indians begin Pacific League action on Friday, January 4, at 7 p.m. at Glendale High School.

 

Burroughs 61 Chatsworth 47 (Dec. 28)

Lawrence White at the foul line

Burroughs (9-2) fought off a pesky Chatsworth squad to advance to the consolation championship of the Chaminade Christmas Classic. The Indians will now play Golden Valley at 4:30 p.m.

Jorge Flores-Pere scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Lawrence White contributed a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

JBHS and the Chancellors fought back and forth throughout a tight game. The Indians led 30-28 at the half and 41-39 after three quarters of action. However, Burroughs stepped up in the final period outscoring Chatsworth, 20-8, to claim the victory.

The win was somewhat tainted after the Indians’ Kalen Verhoeven was ejected for arguing with officials. He will not be available for today’s game.

 

Burroughs 55 Eastside 47 (Dec. 27)

Lawrence White scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Indians to the 55-47 victory against Eastside in a consolation game Thursday afternoon. Kalen Verhoeven added 11 points for Burroughs.

JBHS (8-2) will now play Chatsworth at 10:30 a.m. in the consolation semifinals on Friday morning of the Chaminade Christmas Classic.

 

Westlake 83 Burroughs 56  (Dec. 26)

Coming in 7-1 and the proud owners of a tournament title at Maranatha and a third place finish at Bell Jeff, the Burroughs boys basketball team entered the prestigious Chaminade Christmas Classic on Wednesday for its final tournament of 2012. The Indians quickly realized the level of competition had stepped up in a major way.

Westlake (11-1) dominated from the start sprinting out to a 22-10 first quarter lead and a 46-31 halftime advantage en route to a 83-56 victory against Burroughs.

“We came out and were outplayed in every phase of the game,” Burroughs Coach Adam Hochberg said. “Their pressure was too much for us.”

Lawrence White, the Indians catalyst thus far this season, struggled throughout the afternoon with back spasms and could only muster seven points, all of which came in the first half.

Kalen Verhoeven led JBHS with 16 points and Jorge Flores-Pere added 13 points. The Indians will begin play on the consolation side of the bracket against Eastside at 12 p.m. on Thursday.

Burroughs Takes Third Place at Bell Jeff Holiday Tournament

Special to BurbankNBeyond

It turned out to be nothing more than a mere light workout for the Burroughs High boys’ basketball team which toyed with over-matched Garfield in Saturday night’s third-place game of the 31st Annual Bell-Jeff Holiday Classic.

Paced by senior small forward Lawrence White’s 21 points, the Indians laid waste to the Bulldogs, 60-37.

“It was a good win because we got the whole team involved,” said White, who also pulled down seven rebounds with six blocks and five assists. “We have a solid starting five, and we have a good bench. The only thing we lack is experience.”

Burroughs led 36-6 at the intermission, and the final score was made somewhat closer after fourth-year Coach Adam Hochberg emptied his bench in the second half.

“We took off our full court press because it was the right thing to do,” Hochberg said. “With the big lead we started to lose our focus some, and we don’t want to do that. This is always a challenge.”

Hochberg talked about his two best players who are expected to lead the Indians night in and night out.

“We lean on Lawrence (White) and Jorge Flores-Pere. Lawrence is very good,” Hochberg said.

Flores-Pere, a senior power forward, tallied only six points, but had an impact on the boards and played stellar defense.

The Indians (7-1) converted 23 of 45 shot attempts from the floor (51.1 percent), and bolted to a 16-2 first-quarter lead after sinking six of 13 field goals.

White accounted for seven points including a follow-up slam dunk that got the small crowd buzzing.

Garfield connected on 31.8 percent from the field (14 of 44), and missed nine of 10 shots in the opening stanza.

A 14-point lead swelled to 19 points when junior guard John Cutone (12 points) nailed a three-pointer with 4:55 left in the second quarter, and it became 30-6 after White, who tallied 17 first-half points, made a hoop with 2:32 left.

The Bulldogs’ shooting woes continued into the second quarter when they again only made one of 10 attempts.

Forward Willie Argueta scored all six points in the first half for Garfield (3-7), and finished with a game-high 22 points.

Burroughs began the third quarter by drilling four of six shots from the field including a bucket from sophomore guard Chris Hovasapian (six points) that made it 45-12 with 4:38 showing.

After the Indians missed three consecutive shots, senior forward Austyn Dries (seven points) broke the spell with a basket.

The Bulldogs outscored the Indians, 12-11, in the third quarter after hitting four of 12 shots, but nailing three of four from the free-throw line.

With Burroughs’ bench now in, Garfield had its most-productive quarter, tallying 19 points in the fourth with Argueta scoring 13.

In earlier games of the Bell-Jeff tourney, the Indians fell to Renaissance Academy, 56-46, on Friday, but White, Hovasapian and Flores-Pere didn’t participate because they were suspended after being involved in a so-called “fight” in the contest against Roybal.

“I think if we had all played, it would have been a close game,” said White of the Wildcats, the eventual tournament champion with a 51-34 win over Bell-Jeff. “We would have given them a run for their money. It would have been a one or two possession game.”

Cutone led Burroughs with 13 points, followed by senior guard Kalen Verhoeven’s 10 points and Dries with nine.

Burroughs had its way with Roybal on Thursday taking a 68-53 decision with Verhoeven scoring 20 points and Flores-Pere adding 17.

White’s 17 points and Dries’ 10 points powered the Indians to a 69-40 triumph over Hollywood on Tuesday.

The Indians, fresh off a third place showing at Bell-Jeff and a tournament title at Maranatha, will play in the Chaminade Christmas Classic, Dec. 26 – 29. JBHS opens on Wednesday with a game against Westlake at 3 p.m.

Burroughs 1 Saugus 0

Burroughs 3 La Canada 3

From Burroughs Coach Mike Kodama- “We were down 2 – 0 at halftime and were being dominated by La Canada. We came out better in the second half but then allowed another goal and were losing 3 – 0.

Xavi Izqueta scored at 58 minutes to cut the Spartans lead to 3 – 1. VJ Salazar crossed the ball to the back post and Xavi headed it in.

Still, we could not get many opportunities but we were patient and yet at the same time much more aggressive.

We finally scored the second goal with three minutes left in the game. Xavi scored his second goal of the game with a blast from the edge of the penalty box off a nice pass from Jorman Herrera.

In injury time, we had a lot of players in the penalty box. We lofted the ball into the box and the referee called a penalty kick because a La Canada player got caught reaching out and touching the ball with his hand. Jorman took the penalty kick to tie the score with less than a minute left to play.

A great comeback – the boys showed they had a lot of heart. Only the third time ever to come back from three goals down.”

2012-13 Burroughs Indians (Photo by Dick Dornan)

Burroughs Coach Adam Hochberg (Photo by Dick Dornan)

Burroughs Coach Adam Hochberg begins his fourth year at the helm and despite some challenging seasons now behind him, he has stayed true to his principles in coaching. Never wavering away from his philosophy of “one, done and run,” Hochberg has renewed faith that this season will be a successful one.

“My philosophy has always been ‘one, done and run.’ That means you had a good defensive possession, you held them to one shot, you get the ball and get going with the best look possible,” Hochberg explained. “If we stick to that mentality, we will be fine. No one is expecting us to be a team that will be competitive. I think as the year goes on we will garner some respect.”

The Indians return five lettermen, all seniors, to lead this year’s squad. Jorge Flores-Pere, Lawrence White, Kalen Verhoeven, Hanoak Amanios and Kyle Roberts will be counted upon to provide the necessary leadership to bring JBHS into the upper echelon of the Pacific League. Senior newcomers Austyn Dries, Yousuf Martinez and Justin Mitchell also will add depth to the team.

“They are my first group of freshmen that came in so I think there is something to be said for that,” Hochberg said. “I have a lot of dedicated seniors. We are looking to have a season that we can be proud of.”

Jorge Flores-Pere

Flores-Pere and White will be the catalysts for Burroughs. Pere, a four-year starter, and White, a three-year starter, bring invaluable experience and leadership to an Indians team searching for consistency and productivity.

“They are our most experienced and most talented guys,” Hochberg said. “They should lead by example. If they take charge physically and mentally, we should be in good shape.”

Looking to improve upon last season’s 11-16 overall record and sixth place finish in the Pacific League, Burroughs will rely on athleticism and skill to create scoring opportunities on the defensive end.

“We are going to try to use our length and athleticism to our advantage,” said Hochberg, who is as passionate as a coach as they come. “We want to get up and down the court and keep the other team off balance and out of rhythm with our multiple levels of pressure; leading to only one shot and then our defensive rebound. From there, we will efficiently push the ball up the floor in transition for quality looks that will often come from an extra pass being made by an unselfish teammate.”

Lawrence White

The Pacific League always presents a major challenge with the likes of Pasadena, Muir and Crescenta Valley. JBHS has the potential to grab that coveted fourth spot to earn a post-season berth. Fending off Burbank, Arcadia, Hoover and Glendale is a must for the Indians to take the necessary step forward in their rebuilding process.

Burroughs began the season this week at the Pasadena Poly tournament. The Indians opened with a 62-46 win against Rosemead. They will participate in the Bell-Jeff Holiday Classic, Dec. 18 – 22 and at the Chaminade Christmas Classic, Dec. 26 – 29. Pacific League action begins at Glendale on Jan. 4 at 7 p.m.

“We underachieved last year. We could have been a lot better,” Hochberg said. “So we are excited to turn the perception around and have a good season.”
