Pasadena is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Muir on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Pasadena took a blow against Muir, falling 49-13. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 714th, while the Mustangs are ranked 164th).

Meanwhile, Santa Rosa Academy waltzed into their match last Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They blew past the Trojans, posting a 43-0 victory. Considering the Rangers have won seven games by more than 26 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Daniel Marlow continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 238 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes, while also punching in two touchdowns on the ground. Dominic Vicente-Thomas was another key player, picking up 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Santa Rosa Academy's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-2. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 12.3 points per game. As for Pasadena, their loss dropped their record down to 4-6.
