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

A Season-Best Effort from Deshawn Laporte Leads Burbank over Pasadena
Burbank was led to victory by Deshawn Laporte, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. 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).
This year, Laporte has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 209.3 passing yards per game.

He is becoming a predictor of Muir's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Parker has averaged 25.7 receiving yards per game.

For the year, McDonald has averaged 15.5 receiving yards per game.
