Largest Soph Squad In School's History The Sophomore Football Team was the largest in the school's history, as eighty-five boys suited up for sophomore football. The teams were divided into an A team and a BH team with the B team playing Ryan's schedule away from home. The entire eighty-five gridders suited up for all home games which made quite an impressive sight. Therefore, only the A team statistics were recorded as this group represented the Burke High Sophomores and went on to win The American Division Title. Season Summary Burke 35 ..............
