(Burbank)- The Burbank Bulldogs flashed everything everyone thought they had, and a little more in a 33-14 victory over Bell Gardens Friday night at District Memorial Field.<\/p>\n

In the opener for both schools, the expectation was to see something special out of the Bulldogs James Williams and he didn\u2019t disappoint scoring two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Ryan Meredith showed a strong arm and fast feet while throwing three touchdown passes. Meredith also had a pair of friends in wide outs Oharjee Brown and Dorian Householder.<\/p>\n

Bell Gardens fell behind in the first quarter when Burbank\u2019s Kalani Williams blocked a punt which led to an 8-yard scoring pass to Brown. The Lancers struggled to produce on offense, falling behind 19-0 at the half and 27-0 in third before getting on the board.<\/p>\n
