The Spartans, who won their sixth in a row, had scored 52 and 56 points in easy victories to end the regular season. But they managed only two first downs in the first half and four for the game. Burney's run accounted for more than half of Sylmar's 177 total yards. He finished with 117 yards on 13 carries. ``That was one of my big fears,'' coach Jeff Engilman said, ``that we would come out flat because the last two wins were so easy.'' But Sylmar's defense kept it in the game. The Spartans held Gardena to 117 total yards, the biggest contribution coming in the third quarter.
