Senior Kyle Robertson opened the game with a kickoff return for a touchdown, giving Pasadena an early lead. The play was set up by a key block from sophomore Daniel Freeman, whose physical performance helped power the Bulldogs throughout the game.

Quarterback Dutch Burbidge led the offense, throwing for 195 yards and a touchdown while adding another score on the ground. Freshman Synncere Pitts contributed 61 total yards and two touchdowns, continuing his strong first-year campaign.

Pasadena built a 21–0 advantage before holding off a late Crescenta Valley comeback in the fourth quarter. The win marked the Bulldogs’ fourth victory in their last five games, during which they have averaged more than 40 points per contest.

The result also served as redemption for Pasadena after last season’s loss to Crescenta Valley.
