Burlingame Lineman Named MVP of Division
 Big congratulations to Burlingame High School's Joseph "Noa" Lavulo! He was just named the MVP of the Ocean Division for his efforts in bringing a football championship to BHS.
"
The 6-2, 230-pound Lavulo was a beast on both sides of the ball. On offense, he helped pave the way for the Panthers to rush for more than 2,670 yards as a team. Lavulo even got in on some of that action, carrying the ball four times for 16 yards and three touchdowns."
