(Rosemead)—There was an initial feeling things would be close. Burroughs scored and Rosemead followed with a quick strike of its own but the visiting Indians took control and cruised to a 49-15, running clock, victory at Rod Marinelli Stadium on Thursday night.

Moments after Burroughs’ cornerback Jaret Worbol picked off Steven Nava on the game’s opening drive, Steven Hubbell connected with Cade Boreland for a 16-yard touchdown pass.

Nava came right back with a 66-yard touchdown pass to Darien Camacho to tie the score, 7-7. It was one of several Burroughs breakdowns during the course of the game, but this is the only one the Panthers were able to take advantage of.

From here it was all Indians. Chance Bell racked up 148 yards running to go with three touchdowns and Erick Hernandez grabbed three scoring tosses from Hubbell.

A running clock was put in play in the second half.
