Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Burleson). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 47-7 win over the Everman Bulldogs. This was payback for the Elks, who suffered a 47-6 loss the last time these two teams met.
Burleson didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Jayden Flournoy, Jaden Thurston, Coy Watson, and Zevryn Garza picked up one apiece. Garza also made four total tackles, which is notable because Burleson is 3-1 when he posts at least four total tackles, but 1-5 otherwise. Burleson got some further help from Lawson Blanchard: he picked up two sacks and made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Burleson moved to 4-6 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. As for Everman, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
As of now, neither Burleson nor Everman have any future games scheduled.
