Bulldogs finish with loss
Jeff Tully
Just four games into the season, the Burbank High boys’ basketball
team can take solace in the fact that it already has more wins than
it had a year ago.
The Bulldogs had a chance to double their wins on Friday in the
consolation championship game of their own 35th annual Bulldog
Tip-Off Classic. However, Burbank fell behind early and lost to
Agoura, 66-40.
The loss comes a day after the Bulldogs (1-3) got their first win
of the season, as they defeated San Gabriel Gabrielino, 69-53, in a
consolation-round game.
The victory is significant because Burbank went 0-23 last season,
after the team had to forfeit six wins because of CIF Southern
Section rules violations by its former coach.
“The win was good for us,” first-year Burbank Coach Jose Hernandez
said. “The players were able to get a taste of what it’s like to win,
and hopefully we can build on that.
“This is a building process with these players. I think the more
we play, hopefully the better we’ll get.”
Against Agoura (2-1), Bulldog Serob Oganesyan was the bright spot,
as the senior forward had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
