\"Kyle<\/a>

Kyle Cota threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead CV <\/p><\/div>\n

(Pasadena) \u2013 It was the type of game that you didn\u2019t want to end. You got the feeling that the team that had the ball last would win. There were 28 points scored in the fourth quarter alone as both teams exchanged big plays. There were no punts, only points as Crescenta Valley finally escaped with a 38-27 win over Pasadena Friday night on the Bulldogs\u2019 new home field.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cWe never punted the ball and I don\u2019t think they did either,\u201d said Pasadena Coach Mike McFarland. \u201cI\u2019ve never been in a game like that before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 No, the Bulldogs never did punt but they did turn the ball over three times and it proved to be the difference. An interception and two fumbles, including one on the opening drive of the third quarter that led to a CV touchdown, was too much to overcome. Crescenta Valley turned it over just once.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 It figured to be a wild game when Harry Pessy returned the opening kick off 98 yards for a touchdown to give Crescenta Valley a 7-0 lead. It continued to get wilder.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Charles<\/a>

Charles Hendricks had over 100 yards rushing including a 34 yard touchdown to keep the Bulldogs close<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0Down 24-13 at halftime, Pasadena opened the third quarter by marching from its own 20 all the way down to the Crescenta Valley 29. Charles Hendricks and Nick Escoe were chewing up yardage on the ground taking handoffs from Aaron Simpson. From the 29, Escoe was running left and was hit and appeared to be down. The ball popped loose and CV fell on it. After a lengthy discussion, the officials ruled that Escoe was not down and the Falcons took over on the 22.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 They responded with a 17 play, 78 yard march that lasted all the way into the fourth quarter. Nikko Domingo capped it with a one yard run to give CV a 31-13 lead with 11:13 left in the contest. Quarterback Kyle Cota had key runs of 16 and eight yards on the drive. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cThat was huge. We score there and we\u2019re right back in it but instead they make the big plays,\u201d McFarland said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pasadena had a couple big plays left of its own. On the next series Simpson scrambled out of the pocket and avoided several tackles before firing a strike to Escoe who raced down the sidelines for a 33 yard touchdown. Charles Hendricks\u2019 run for a two point conversion made it 31-21.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 A big kick off return set CV up at its own 47. From there they drove 53 yards for a score. Cota found Mike Bako in the end zone for a 13 yard touchdown pass to increase the advantage to 17 with 5:49 left.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pasadena wasn\u2019t done yet. Using a no huddle offense, Simpson engineered a drive down the field finding several open receivers. He found Eugene Tripling on an 11 yard TD pass with 2:08 left to cut the margin to 38-27.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The onside kick was recovered by Crescenta Valley but they still weren\u2019t able to run out the clock. The Bulldogs had one more possession before they turned it over on downs and CV took a knee.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Escoe had a 65 yard touchdown run in the first quarter to counter Pessy\u2019s kick return. CV struck back when Bako caught a 31 yard pass from Cota.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pessy scored again on a 61 yard romp in the second quarter and Hendricks got loose for Pasadena on 34 yard touchdown run. Neither team scored in the third to set up the wild fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The numbers were huge on both sides. For CV, Cota threw for 113 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 55 more. Pessy had 17 carries for 130 yards and a score and Bako caught six passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 For Pasadena, Hendricks had 16 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown, Escoe scored a touchdown rushing and one receiving. He ran the ball 14 times for 133 yards. Simpson completed 14 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Kevin Phillips caught three Simpson passes for 73 yards.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Pasadena dropped to 3-2 in the Pacific League. The Bulldogs are currently in fourth place and have Burbank and Muir remaining. If they can win one of those two they should get in the post season. They are 5-5 overall. Crescenta Valley is 4-1, 6-2 overall. The Falcons are third behind undefeated Burbank and Burroughs.<\/p>\n
