After Hurd’s 6-yard interception return put Page up 31-6, Burdick caught a 20-yard score from Walker.
Quincy Brock-Compton (nine carries, 53 yards) added a 39-yard touchdown run with 11 minutes to play.
Hurd led Page with six solo tackles, while Austin Harshaw had three solo stops and three assists.
