Jose Oliveros (62, pictured in a game earlier this season) recorded seven tackles in the Bears’ 20-0 loss to Oxnard Hueneme last week. He is one of the leaders of a Burroughs defense that has been solid so far in the 2021 campaign.

The Bears were shut out for a second time this season — this time on the road against Oxnard Hueneme in a 20-0 loss on Sept. 17.
Burroughs (1-2 overall record) was limited to only 69 yards of total offense. Junior quarterback Blake Dycus completed four of 22 passes for 29 yards and an interception, and Noah Frenkel led all rushers with 28 yards on four carries. Nate Howland-Chhina finished with 14 yards and Marcus Manahan had 13 yards.
Dilan Webster led the receivers with two receptions for 19 yards and Elijah Aldana-Pere contributed two catches for 10 yards.
The Burroughs defense was solid, allowing only 205 yards and limiting the Vikings to 3.5 yards per carry. Howland-Chhina led the group with 10 tackles and Gerald Garcia finished with nine tackles. Jose Oliveros recorded seven, and Vincent Harris had four tackles, including a sack. Noah Creus also tallied four tackles, and teammates Drake Vickers and Angelo Toscano each contributed three tackles. Sophomore Aiden Berryman intercepted a pass.
The Bears returned home to face Studio City Harvard-Westlake on Friday, Sept. 24. The result of the game was past the Leader’s press deadline and will be included in next week’s issue.
