Burbank High’s towering Pope brothers are an imposing collection of size and talent, and three reasons why the No. 7 Titans have big ambitions this season.

Senior Remle, who just turned 19, is 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds of imposing muscle and physicality he played football for Burbank as a middle linebacker as a junior.

Senior Emmanuel, who turns 18 today, is the Titans’ wispy 6-5, 170-pound power forward who uses his quick feet and leaping ability to make up for his slender frame.

Sophomore Malik, 15, is already 6-7 make that 6-9 if you include his throwback hairstyle think Kid from Kid ‘n Play and the most polished of the three. Blessed with supersized mitts and outsized athletic ability, he can play any position on the floor.

“They’re athletic as all get-out, but with different strengths and personalities,” says Burbank coach Lindsey Ferrell.

Nicole Pope knows what she’s going to get from her sons on game day: The excitement of watching her boys playing together on the same team for the first time and the challenge of trying to soothe bruised egos afterward.

“It’s a blessing, exciting, rewarding and tiring,” says Nicole, who is putting her studies in psychology at Cosumnes River College to good use.
