Football:
The Pasadena High School football program entered the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs having not played in two weeks.

The Bulldogs took a 34-7 lead into the break and cruised by visiting Thousand Oaks, 50-13, in Friday’s first-round contest.
Pasadena looked every bit the division’s No. 1 seed, and they extended their win streak to six games.
Kaden Taylor completed 5 of his 8 pass attempts for 145 yards and three TD’s.
Taylor also rushed for 40 yards on five carries, and that included a TD run.

Beasley scored two of the Bulldogs three rushing TD’s.
Hype Grand and Ahmad Jolley both had 40 rushing yards in the win.
Grand also threw a 45-yard TD pass on Friday.
