So this is my own personal thought as an alum, BURROUGHS BLACKBIRDS. Honor those at Lockheed & our City, who built what is still the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft every built. The SR-71 Blackbird is Burbank history. That's something to be proud of & honor. My opinion only

Please keep my son Kyle in your thoughts & prayers. He broke his collarbone on Saturday. He has been in hospital ever since & is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Please send positive vibes for my boy, his surgeon & nurses. 🙏
It isn't often that I get to post personal stuff, but please indulge me. My daughter & former JBHS Softball player, Delaney Nicol ('15), got engaged yesterday! Our family is so happy & this has been the best year ever. TY to everyone who made this year so special in so many ways.
So proud to announce that Sr. Pitcher/1B Stevie Dabbadie committed this morning to Molloy University in New York! Gr8 school getting a fabulous Student Athlete. Way to go Stevie! Go Lions!

Thank you to all of our fans, and the entire Burroughs community, for your support! We ALL felt it. This team is special. A semifinal loss won't change that. A special run with a special group of kids. All year they faced adversity & never wavered or quit! So proud of them!

After a successful 2 hour surgery, Kyle is now home. A little beat up & very sore, but he will recover thanks to the prayers & well-wishes of the entire Burbank community. My family and I cannot thank you all enough for the support. Thank you all so much.
This is crazy. UCLA's 5 opponents this year have a combined 25-3 record & are ranked 7th, 11th, 18th & 25th in the country. Fresno St. (4-1) only one not ranked. Keep fighting guys! Better times ahead. Persevere!

Doing it the right way. Neighborhood kids. No recruiting. Gr8 coaching. Kids with heart. This is what should be held up & celebrated, not the Mater Dei's of the world who only win because of recruiting.

Proud! What a game! What a TEAM! Big win tonight. Nothing fazes this team. 3-2 over your crosstown rival to win the season series. Clutch. All about THE TEAM!!
Today we honor our 3rd Senior, pitcher Sidnie Dabbadie. She was having a great year when we shut down. Outstanding personality & attitude who worked so hard this year! Super smart she plans to major in Business Economics in college. Keep reaching for the stars Sid!
@jefftsports
Sending LOVE & positive thoughts to my friend & my former assistant coach/current JBHS frosh coach Sheila Oasay, who suffered a heart attack Monday. It was touch & go for a while everyone, but she made it & is now recovering. Please keep her in your prayers! We love you Sheila!
So much pride in this team. 15 strong! Never quit on themselves when things were tough early. Resilient! These girls have so much character & have put in a lot of hard work. So happy for them to be rewarded! Grit!
#mambamentality
Tomorrow is a tough one my friends. I get the honor of walking my beautiful daughter, Delaney, down the aisle as she marries her soulmate, Austin. I am so proud of her and the incredible young woman she has become. Wish me luck, this is going to be tough. 😭♥️

Solid pitching led the way in today's victory vs. Glendale. Dabbadie, Del Castillo & Kam combine for the no-hit shutout. Valenzuela & Scozzola with HR's. Five players with 2 hits each. Total team win today. Let's keep it up!!
SO PROUD OF OUR TEAM! CV won in 10 innings 2-1. Our girls were incredible! Anyone who was at the game knows we may not have won the game, but we walked off the field today as winner. This team exhibits everything that is right....character, perseverance & dedication. 15 STRONG!
Found out we lost Toney Smith today from a stroke. He was a wonderful man who gave his time for the kids in Burbank Park & Rec. I knew him for many years & he was so kind, generous & always willing to help. Always smiling. RIP my friend. We will miss u.

They are trying to prevent special education teachers from striking because they know how much work it takes to teach them. Spec. Ed teachers are awesome and not appreciated...they know that subs and admin can't do the job. The district is passing the buck.

What a great night. Burroughs Softball Banquet at The Smokehouse. 17 loaves of garlic bread! 🍞 These girls did not get cheated. Lol. Wonderful night to celebrate these sensational young ladies.
So proud of our team & their energy & desire tonight in a 6-1 win against Burbank. This team is special because there is not one player who puts themselves above the team. They all pull for each other & are happiest when their teammates achieve success. That is a true team!
I don't think I have ever worked harder getting ready for the school year. Meetings, developing lessons, collaborating w/peers, constantly on the computer learning new tech...it's crazy. Never been prouder to be a teacher & make this an amazing year for our students & athletes.
She did it! All grown up. So proud she graduated from
@HamiltonCollege
Such a prestigious school. Magna Cum Laude. Phi Beta Kappa Society. Soper Prize. Love u!
In 2 days we get to watch these 6 incredible young ladies walk across that stage, in their cap & gown, and graduate 👩🎓 They are future doctors, scientists, researchers and psychologists. More importantly, they are ladies of high character. So proud of them.
#beardown
WHAT. A. GAME. Both teams were incredible. Tonight, we honored 4 sensational Burroughs Seniors & 6 awesome Burbank Seniors. Best softball 🥎 rivalry in So. Cal. What an honor to watch these young ladies compete.
@REALvegas4sure
Nothing like supporting her abusive husband, but on THE TALK she had no problem ripping on others in the same position as her husband. She is a hypocrite, plain and simple. She is just supporting her meal ticket. To sign off that was is just plain disrespectful and calculated.
This is awesome. So proud of former players Stevie Dabbadie & Avery Mochrie. Their college teams (Molloy & Staten Island) played against each other yesterday. Love these two! Once a BEAR, Always a BEAR!

Our last SR. honoree is Sabrina Englebrecht. What a beast! She was hitting over .500 with 2 bombs against CV when we shut down. Was one of the top hitters in CIF. More than that she is hard-working & a great teammate. Always sacrifices for the good of the team. Leadership!
Proud of these young ladies! Finished 21-6. Won the Laguna Tournament. CIF playoffs next. We find out our draw Saturday. Looking forward to representing our community.

Nothing makes us happier than when we can announce one of our players being accepted to their dream school!! Congrats Kelsey Acosta on being accepted to UC Santa Cruz! You go girl! A future Banana Slug!!

Now that it is out I want to thank everyone at JBHS for their support. I have spent 20 years coaching there and have loved every moment. To run a successful program, you ask so much of your players. It's a grind. At this time I need to focus on my family & work as a teacher.
Burroughs softball coach Doug Nicol, who was in his second stint with the team, told his players after today's game that he is stepping down to spend more time with family, work on other projects.
