(Covina District Field) – When the football pundits, and those who are supposed to be \u201cin the know\u201d voiced their opinions about Friday\u2019s CIF playoff game, no one gave Burbank much of a change against Northview. Unfortunately for our prognosticators, Burbank did not get the message. The Bulldogs survived penalties, mistakes, and the Northview defense, to post a 30-27 victory over the Vikings Friday evening.<\/p>\n

The game began in a predictable fashion, with Northview scoring on the game\u2019s opening drive, thanks to Steven Comstock 1 yard touchdown\u00a0 blast, with 8:22 remaining in the first quarter. Points were at a premium in the first half. In fact, the only scoring was a safety, which occurred when Northview snapped the ball through the end zone on a punt attempt. This made the score 7-2 at halftime.<\/p>\n

In the second half the action picked up. Burbank provided the first score of the second half when Nicolas Warren scored on a 1-yard run. Northview answered, with authority, as Comstock added a pair of long touchdown passes\u2026the first, a 30 yard toss to Jimmy Amezquita. The second, a 52 yard bomb to Antwaun Ayers. This made the score 20-9 at the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The final quarter belonged to the Bulldogs, who scored three touchdowns in three different ways, to ensure the victory. Their first score came on a four-yard run by Darnell Williams, with 11:40 remaining in the game. Burbank\u2019s second score of the quarter was courtesy of quarterback Guy Gibbs and Drew Pendelton, who connected on a 37-yard TD toss.<\/p>\n

The third score was provided by defensive end Anthony Lira, who got to experience a \u201cLineman\u2019s dream\u201d as he intercepted a pass and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown. Northview scored the final touchdown – a 49 yard pass from Comstock to Ayers with 34 seconds remaining. However, this was as close as the Vikings would get.<\/p>\n

The Vikings finished the season with an overall record of 10-2 while the Bulldogs advanced to the semi-finals, where they will host<\/p>\n
