John Burroughs

The Scorpions applied their sting early and often as they outmanned a young Indians team searching for an identity. Bulldogs lose a tough one on the road.

This years "Hall of Fame" recipients included All-American Brady Riggs, Jayleen Romberger-Budwig, Ron Stillwell and Coach Bill Flora's 1955 CIF runner-up basketball team.

The Indians return six lettermen including four starters off a squad that went 19-4 and undefeated (14-0) in Pacific League action.

Fall sports are underway for the city's high schools.

Friday night’s game between Burroughs and North Hollywood came down to two plays and both went in favor of the Huskies.

There is an invasive visitor to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River, aggressively sucking up water resources, contributing to fire danger, and squeezing out native plants. The Tamarisk, an alien shrubby tree is the invader disrupting the San Gabriel watershed ecosystem. Eagle Scout candidate Griffin Armstorff, from Boy Scout Troop 209 in Burbank, believes the Tamarisk can be brought under control.

As another sign of safety precaution, the John Burroughs and Burbank football programs invested in the gamebreaker helmets this past summer.

In their regular season opener on Friday night at Memorial Field, Burroughs lost to Paraclete of Lancaster, 35-10, but in the process lost its first and second string quarterbacks during the contest.

This is the first game back at home on Memorial Field for Burroughs after having spent all of last year traveling on the road.

The Indians have won three consecutive Pacific League titles and four of the last six years.
