(San Bernardino) The Pasadena Bulldogs reached the end of their CIF Divsion VII playoff road Friday night with a 31-21 loss to the Aquinas Falcons at Aquinas High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Bulldogs were first to score on the night taking their second possession 71-yards on six plays with Ahmad Jolley breaking free on a 23-yard run up the gut to paydirt. Andres Reyes came on to boot through the extra point for a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first quarter came to a close with Pasadena maintaining their 7-0 lead. The second quarter however would belong to Aquinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons put together three unanswered scoring drives, the first coming on a 12-yard pass from Andres Robles to Zachary Mendieta. Alex Martinez missed the extra point but more points were on the way. The drive was a short one set up by a blocked punt that the Falcon\u2019s fell on at the Pasadena 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 2:20 left in the second Aquinas scored again on a seven yard run by Cesar Fernandez to finish off a 69-yard drive. Jusyis Solis punched through the two-point conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up 14-7 the Falcons elected not to sit on their lead as time was winding down in the first half. Fernandez got behind the Bulldog defense and Robles found him for a 51-yard touchdown strike. Martinez added the extra point with zeros showing on the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pasadena came out of the halftime break and on their first drive cut the lead to seven. Mekhi Fox got behind the Falcon defenders and into the endzone on a 30-yard pass from Kaden Taylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquinas answered the Bulldog score with one of their own marching 85-yards on nine plays with Robles connecting with Fernandez again this time from 40-yards out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bulldogs put together their final scoring drive of the night as time was winding down in the third quarter when Daylon Beasley scored on a 3-yard run with :45 seconds on the clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquinas put up their final points of the game with 5:44 left to play on a 33-yard field goal by Angel Pais when their 12-play drive stalled at the Pasadena 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bulldogs managed a drive that saw them get all the way down to the Falcon eight. Andres Reyes marched out to attempt a 23-yard field goal to cut the lead to seven. His field goal was blocked and recovered by Aquinas at the Falcon three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Aquinas needed to do was gain one which they did to put the game away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
