NORTHWEST GLENDALE - The Hoover High and Burroughs boys' soccer teams traded plenty of scoring opportunities through most of their Pacific League opener. Neither the Tornadoes or Indians could solve their opposing goalkeepers until Francisco Baez found an open lane in the closing moments of the 80-minute match. Baez scored with seven minutes left to lift visiting Burroughs to a 1-0 win against Hoover on Tuesday afternoon. Baez took a perfect pass from Nolberto Alcantar and beat Hoover reserve goalkeeper Argin Haghoubian with a 15-yard shot inside the left post to help the Indians improve to 2-5-1.

Jim Riggio Darkness descended on the Hoover High softball field a little earlier than the Tornadoes would have liked Tuesday, as they hosted Burroughs in a nonleague doubleheader. Hoover came within half and inning of sweeping the two games against the Indians. Hoover won the opening game, 6-5, in eight innings, as the contest was decided on an international tie-breaker. In the second game, the Tornadoes led, 1-0, after four innings. However, umpires called the game because of darkness, denying Hoover the sweep.

Hamlet Nalbandyan GLENDALE -- With strong pitching, there was a good chance the Hoover Softball Classic championship game between Burbank and El Segundo highs Friday would be decided by one run. Unfortunately for Burbank, it fell on the wrong side of the 1-0 contest at Hoover High. The lone run scored by the Eagles was unearned, coming in the bottom of the fourth inning. It was the second straight year the Bulldogs played for the tournament title.

Sang Lee GLENDALE -- The paths that both new Burbank and Hoover high boys' water polo coaches have taken leading to their nonleague match are long and varied. But the similarities between the coaches and their programs are unquestionably similar. Both came into the match without a win, playing their third contest of the season. The two are also first-time high school coaches manned with inexperienced squads. Bulldog Coach Andre Setaghian picked up his first victory Thursday as his team defeated the Tornadoes, 16-7, at Hoover High.

GLENDALE — For one half, the Hoover High boys' soccer team allowed Burbank to stay close. The next half, however, the Tornadoes proved why they are sitting at the top of the Pacific League standings and the Bulldogs are near the bottom, as Hoover finished with a 3-1 home victory Wednesday. "In the first half, we were sleeping," Hoover Coach Charles Martinez said. "That let Burbank react and that is how they tied us." With the score tied at 1 after the first half, the Tornadoes finally woke up. They picked up the offensive attack and dominated the action, netting two unanswered goals.

GLENDALE — It was Hoover High that emerged with a sweep in Friday's Pacific League boys' volleyball match against Burroughs, but each squad had some positives to talk about following the Tornadoes' 25-20, 25-17, 25-20 victory. Hoover notched its first Pacific League win and, while Burroughs remains winless on the season, the Indians continue to show improvement just weeks removed from the creation of the school's first boys' volleyball program. "I think we've definitely shown some improvement in some areas, but it's just a matter of the consistency we're waiting for that comes with experience," Burroughs Coach Joel Brinton said.

Burbank’s damage was concentrated in the third inning, when it broke the game open with 13 runs.
