A Season-Best Effort from Tyler Burr Leads Gilbert Christian over Bourgade Catholic
On Friday, Gilbert Christian got the W thanks in part to Tyler Burr playing the best football he has all season. Burr threw for 203 yards and four touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing.
Bourgade Catholic had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Burr it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Burr saw the Golden Eagles), he threw for 223 yards and six touchdowns while completing 91.7% of his passes.
