(Pasadena) – The Muir Mustangs ran away with the victory Thursday evening defeating the visiting Burbank Bulldogs 28-0 in front of an enthusiastic Senior Night crowd at Robinson Stadium at Pasadena City College.
The Mustangs scored on the first offensive possession when running back Deveon Blaylock, Jr. found the end zone on a 15-yard run. The extra point was added by David Cannon, Jr. making the score 7-0 with 6:31 remaining in the opening quarter.
Muir extended its lead in the second period, as Ralph Reyes scored on a 55-yard dash. Cannon again kicked the point after making the score 14-0 with 11:19 left in the opening half.
The Mustangs struck for a second time in the quarter when runner Jason Brown added six on a 2-yard touchdown blast. Cannon’s third extra point of the evening made the score 21-0 as the first half ended.
The third quarter saw four drives two of which ended in turnovers. The first occurred when Muir’s Ethan Leyland intercepted an errant offering from Burbank quarterback Damian Corona. The second happened when Burbank picked off Muir quarterback Langston Brinkley.
Muir tacked on its final score of the evening in the fourth quarter courtesy of a pair of underclassmen. Brinkley, a sophomore playing in only his second varsity game, connected with freshman Marquice Garret, Jr. for a 28-yard catch and run to make it 28-0, as the game came to an end.
Muir dominated this contest however the game was far from perfect. Muir and Burbank combined for 21 penalties for 155 yards, including four unsportsmanlike conduct calls.
The Bulldogs will finish their regular season next Friday, when they travel to Burroughsto meet the Bears. Muir will have a bye, as they were scheduled to meet Pasadena who has forfeited the varsity season. The Mustangs will finish the regular season with a record of 6-4, 2-1 in Arroyo League play.
