If Pasadena was riding high fresh off their 49-14 takedown of Arcadia last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Bulldogs fell 28-20 to the Muir Mustangs on Friday. 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 415th, while the Mustangs are ranked 128th).
Pasadena lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Kyle Robertson, who picked up 98 receiving yards and two scores. Dutch Burbidge was another key player, having thrown for 278 yards and three touchdowns.

Pasadena didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Michael Ambrose. He has been hot for a while, having also posted five or more total tackles the last 11 times he's played. Andrew Johnson was another major factor on D, forcing one fumble and making 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
