Given Burges' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 219th, while Hanks is ranked 643rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

The contest was Hernandez's 17th in a row with at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Priscilla Diaz, who scored ten points.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 52-10, which was the final score in Parkland's tilt against Andress on Tuesday. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Parkland has scored all season.

Everything came up roses for Burges against Parkland in their previous matchup back in February of 2015 as the team secured a 66-38 win.
