Viking fans aren't going to be thrilled about this, but Braxton "Cole" Burmeister of Country Day is about to break the all-time San Diego Section CIF record for total yards.
The 6'1", 220-pound quarterback, who terrorized La Jolla Sept. 9 in a 42-23 win on the Vikings' hallowed new turf at Edwards Field, sits at 10,215 total offensive yards, after passing for four touchdowns against LJHS, according to LJCDS Athletic Director Jeff Hutzler.
The present record is held by Dillon Baxter, who played at Mission Bay from 2006 to 2009, with 10,230 yards.
Burmeister's total breaks down into 8,055 yards passing, 2,165 yards rushing, and -5 yards receiving.
In contrast, Baxter, who also pounded La Jolla in a non-memorable game (from the hosts' standpoint) as a senior on the old turf with six TD's, piled up 1,685 yards receiving, in addition to monumental totals in passing and receiving: 5,539 on the ground, 3,006 in the air.
