Pacific League

Glendale 67, Arcadia 51--Gilbert Yousefian had 20 points for host Glendale (9-10, 1-3) in a Pacific League game.

Pasadena 66, Crescenta Valley 48--Crescenta Valley High (15-5) struggled and ultimately lost to Pasadena on Tuesday night. The Falcons (2-2 in league play) fell behind by 10 points at halftime and never threatened in a 66-48 loss at Pasadena.  Sophomore Dino Wilburn scored 20 points and senior point guard Reggie Harmon added 17 to keep the Bulldogs (14-5, 4-0) in a first-place tie with cross-town rival Muir.  Crescenta Valley tried repeatedly to get the ball inside to 6-foot-6 James Jenkins, who entered the game averaging 21.1 points.  But Jenkins did not adjust to Pasadena's tenacious man-to-man defense and finished with 11 points.   Freshman Jimmy Goffredo was one of the few Falcon players who played aggressively, but he made only three of 17 shots. Pasadena clicked on all cylinders and put together a tremendous team effort to defeat visiting Crescenta Valley, 66-48.  The Bulldogs took control of the game early. Reggie Harmon scored the game's first points on a jumper and Doug Thomas and Johnny Eubanks followed with transition baskets to give Pasadena an early 6-1 lead.  Crescenta Valley cut Pasadena's lead to 14-11 after one quarter, but Thomas' rebound dunk to begin the second quarter opened up the lead again. From then on, the Falcons would get only as close as five; they never led.  But it was Pasadena's defense that took center stage.  The Falcons feature two strong post players in James Jenkins and Jeff Myers, who had plenty of success in CV's two-point loss to Muir in the league opener two weeks ago.  But Thomas set the tone with three first-half blocks and Ian Soleimani came off the bench to provide plenty of physical play against Crescenta Valley's big men.  Jenkins and Myers combined for 21 points and 18 rebounds, but were not major factors.  The Bulldogs' backcourt made sure Crescenta Valley (15-5, 2-2) no chance for a comeback with a sizzling fourth quarter. Holding an eight-point lead with just more than five minutes left, Harmon and Dino Wilburn put Pasadena (14-5, 5-0) on their backs to seal the victory.  The guards scored Pasadena's next 16 points -- Crescenta Valley managed six -- over the next five minutes.  Wilburn led all scorers with 18 points; Harmon had 17 points and three steals.  The victory, combined with Muir's romp over Hoover, sets up a battle for first place in league between the unbeaten crosstown rivals on Friday.
