(Hacienda Heights) – Los Altos jumped out to a 45-7 halftime lead and played with a running clock the entire second half in a 52-7 rout of Burroughs Thursday night. <\/p>\n\n\n

On the first possession Los Altos drove 56 yards on seven plays. Castillo hit Josiah Cortez on a 17-yard touchdown pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Altos then recovered an onside kick and was in business again at the Burroughs 35. Three plays later Castillo found Cortez again for a 12-yard score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Blas banged home a 26-yard field goal later in the quarter and then a blocked punt set up the Conqs again at the Bears 25. Rojas punched it in just a couple of plays later and just like that it was 24-0 Los Altos after one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The onslaught continued in the second quarter. Rojas capped a 65-yard march with a five-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Castillo scrambled into the endzone from 11 yards out with 5:38 left in the quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathan Estrada picked off a pass on Burroughs next possession to set up the next score. From the Bears 22-yard line Castillo stepped up in the pocket and fired a strike to Gavin Flores to make it 45-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burroughs finally managed to get on the board with 47 ticks left in the first half when Sho Fujita scored on a 7-yard run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burroughs agreed to a running clock in the third quarter. Los Altos hit paydirt one more time when backup quarterback Luke Rodriguez got loose for a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castillo completed 16 of 18 for 222 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 20 yards and a score. Rojas had nine carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns. Cortez had four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns and Flores had five receptions for 83 yards and a score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Altos shut down the Burroughs offense. Fujita had seven carries for 26 yards and the only touchdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conquerors remained perfect on the year improving to 3-0. Burroughs dropped to 0-3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
