The victory (which was Burroughs' fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Tarca and Burroughs will challenge Muir at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Deshawn Laporte Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Burbank got the W thanks in part to Deshawn Laporte playing the best football he has all season. Laporte rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Burbank's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Laporte has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 209.3 passing yards per game.

For the season, Parker has averaged 25.7 receiving yards per game.
