While the team kept Burlingame High on their toes on both offense and defense throughout the game, Cap had too many turnovers and couldn't recover late in the game.
Capuchino High's football team lost its home game against Burlingame High on Friday 44-35.

Ultimately two lost fumbles, two interceptions and a blocked punt for a touchdown proved too much to overcome, a daunting task for a professional team, let alone a talented high school team. The Mustangs can hold their heads high with the knowledge that they never quit and, believe me, the team from Burlingame will not forget their encounter with this team.
Cap's record is now 1-3. The next game is at 7 p.m. Friday vs. Aragon High in San Mateo.
