VAN NUYS – The Burbank High football team needed every possible second to secure its first win of the year, downing St. Genevieve, 29-26, at Los Angeles Valley College on Friday night.
With the clock reading 0:00 but the game extended one play because of a defensive penalty, junior place kicker Ryan Mendoza kicked the game-winning field goal for the Bulldogs (1-1).
“He’s a guy who had struggled a lot bit at kicker but got his chance tonight and made it,” said Burbank coach Hector Valencia.
