Boys Basketball: Pasadena crushed Muir on Saturday night. Oddly enough, it wasn’t considered a Pacific League contest. For some reason, every Pacific League competitor except for PHS voted to only play one game a year versus the other. So, Muir and Pasadena scheduled this nonseason clash to give each other a home game. PHS went […]
Girls Basketball: As odd as it might seem to read, Pasadena’s 56-41 victory over their visitors from Muir was not a Pacific League contest. The new and lame new league set up has everyone just playing one time each, so MHS and PHS had to schedule a nonleague showdown. And that took place on Saturday […]

Boys Basketball: Ayala pulled off a twofer on Saturday. The Bulldogs extended their current win streak to four games. And they snapped Calvary Baptist’s nine-game win streak thanks to a 59-58 victory.
