Welcome to Burbank Memorial Field, home of “The Big Game” between the John Burroughs Bears and the Burbank Bulldogs. This historic California high school football rivalry began in 1949 and has delivered countless memorable moments. Now in its 78th meeting, it will be featured in the 23rd season of the Great American Rivalry Series—one of over 100 games honored this fall. 

John Burroughs leads the all-time series 45–32, but Burbank took last year’s matchup with a decisive 62-14 win at home. Since 2004, the rivalry has been nearly even, with Burbank holding a narrow 12–10 edge.
