Panther Pride in Play

With today's 48-0 shellacking of San Mateo in the Little Big Game, the BHS Panther football team completes an unbeaten season in league play.  I didn't want to jinx them by mentioning that possibility earlier, but after beating Mountain View, Gunderson, SSF, Jefferson, King's Academy, Aragon, Half Moon Bay, Capuchino, and Woodside–some by similar margins to today's victory–the run is complete at 10-0.

It was fun seeing the red "Got Paw?" T-shirts on the Avenew just minutes after the game ended.  Normally pre-printing shirts would be a risky move reserved for NFL teams, but the way the Panthers have been playing it wasn't too risky.  Now on to CCS!

Nov 30th update:  St. Ignatius 41   B'game 21 last night at BHS

I went to the CCS semi-finals last night and B'game put up a good fight but they were outmatched in the passing game and had some challenges holding onto the football–both running and passing.  Two quick touchdowns just before halftime made a game of it, but in the end the WCAL team prevailed.  Here's a shot of our great little field, players and cheerleaders.

    Here’s part of the Times’ Glenn Reeves write-up
    SAN MATEO — Burlingame wrapped up a 10-0 regular season of out and out domination with the biggest margin of victory in the 86-year history of the Little Big Game, a 48-0 win Saturday over host San Mateo.
    Burlingame extended its advantage in the series to 50-32-4 and has won 15 of the last 17.
    An outmanned San Mateo team hung in there for a half and trailed just 14-0 at the break. But Burlingame (10-0, 5-0 Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division) came out with the determination to make a statement to start the second half, ripped off a 28-point third quarter and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions of the second half.
    “We woke them up a little at halftime,” Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos said. “I felt like they came out a little lethargic. We were out of our realm, playing a day game. To the kids credit, when we challenged them they responded, like they’ve done all year. They played like a one seed.”
    That’s the next bit of business on Burlingame’s agenda — the Central Coast Section playoffs. Philipopoulos is hoping his team receives the No. 1 seed in Division III at Sunday’s seeding meeting.
    “This game should provide some momentum we can take into the playoffs,” Philipopoulos said. “Hopefully all the way to Week 13,
    Burlingame, which was in the PAL Bay Division last year, dropped down to the Ocean this season and absolutely hammered every team it played, scoring 469 points and allowing 66. In holding San Mateo scoreless the Panthers registered their fifth shutout of the season.
