Pasadena Pulls Away From Muir in Fourth

By Tim Peterson

(Pasadena) – Pasadena pulled away with a 20 point fourth quarter and went on to beat Muir 59-49 Friday night before a capacity crowd at the Dog House.

The Bulldogs went on a 7-0 run to break a 44 all tie in the fourth and went on to win by ten. Tyrek Adams threw down a couple of rim rattling jams during the run and scored five points in the quarter. Adams led all scorers with 23. Ben Burgoyne helped finish off the Mustangs with ten points in the fourth and finished with 18 overall.

Muir stated with Pasadena early trailing by just three after one and four, 27-23, at the half. The Stangs were still only down two after three quarters before the Dogs iced it with the run.

Darius Henderson did his part trying to keep Adams in check while also leading Muir in the scoring column with 17. Most of his points came down in the paint. Javonte James added 14 and Hunter Woods hit a big three early in the fourth and finished with seven.

After Adams and Burgoyne the scoring dropped off for Pasadena. Bryce Hamilton tossed in seven.

As is usually the case when these two Pacific Division rivals get together it was standing room only. The Pasadena faithful erupted in the fourth quarter when the Bulldogs took control.

With the victory Pasadena improved to 6-1 in the Pacific and 12-7 overall. The first place Bulldogs are a game ahead of Muir (5-2). The Mustangs are 10-9 overall.
