Boys Basketball: Pasadena reaches the promise land, will take on Eisenhower on Saturday at Honda Center.
CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION PLAYOFFS
DIVISION 2A CHAMPIONSHIP
SATURDAY, 12:30 P.M.
AT HONDA CENTER
NO. 2 PASADENA (24-6) vs. NO. 1 EISENHOWER (27-5)
The top two seeds will meet when No. 2 Pasadena (24-6) takes on No. 1 Eisenhower (27-5) in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2A championship game. The Bulldogs are making their first finals appearance since winning it all in 2007. Pasadena rid its two-year dry spell of second-round exits, a notion that's haunted the Bulldogs the last couple years. Pasadena's swarming defense was key in returning to the finals, but it also helped that the Bulldogs made giant strides as the season progressed. Turnovers and poor shot selections stymied Pasadena early in the season, particularly in tournament play. The Bulldogs, however, improved as they approached Pacific League play on minimizing turnovers and letting their defense create the offense. By late league season, Pasadena was playing stellar defense and growing comfortable with its new lineup. That's exactly how Pasadena has won its last three playoff games. Case in point ... Mira Costa in the quarterfinals had Pasadena by the ropes as the Bulldogs found themselves trailing at the half for the first time. The third quarter, however, was all Pasadena, Nick Holden hitting a layup at the buzzer to tie the game and help the Bulldogs take complete control in the fourth. The same thing happened last Friday when Pasadena came out hot in the third quarter, thanks to Tyler Barber who hit his first four shot attempts to help the Bulldogs and Chris Bridges making five third-quarter steals to help PHS pull away from a dangerous Keppel team making its first semifinals appearance in school history. There were a couple hundred fans who were kept out of the Keppel-PHS game last Friday. That was bound to happen when a game of that magnitude was played at Muir. "The site served its purpose," Pasadena coach Tim Tucker said. "It served as an advantage because we've played our semifinals there before. The thing about it is that it's a coin flip. They very well could have won the flip and we would have played wherever they wanted to play the game. We needed to play somewhere where we were comfortable, and Muir was the place." On a side note ... thanks to all of you who clicked on our Keppel-PHS photo gallery. We've had well over 25,000 hits since we posted the link.

How can the Nickelodeon logo be to the Greatest l ist but Bing be to the worst l ist? It will be like looking on the identical issue, one is skinny and also the other is extra fat. And I realize th is is nostalgia talking, but the new Nick logo is just poor.From the best l ist, I'd have put the NY Library nearer to the leading. It really is a stand out mark that is just sharp.

I found a great diet program a couple of months ago, that helped me lose a load of weight. I was really skeptical at first, as they were going on about wholegrain pasta, as being rubbish for losing weight but then my mate whose a bit a fitness freak explained how bodybuilders eat pasta to put on mass. Anyways I gave it a try, and it was really good. I managed to lose 2 stone.

Nice play by play... I THINK I tried it at the bottom rack last week and it was ok.I tried it out and it turned out so delicious! Thank you!
I'm interested in using some of your material for my blog. Please let me know if I can do so if I link back to this page.
I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad =)
I think all of the fans may like it too.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Barefoot's not afraid to wear shoes in the sense that things have more concerns about the greater. Have nothing, anything exclusion of out. But when you really have a lot of shoes, you have to do with how their own? Random ride buying them, is likely to affect your feng shui popular yo! TIPS NO.1: the color of shoes to stress that everyone has their own favorite color, the color is Yun ...

Everyone has their own favorite color, color implication of the mystery, reading out the good and bad information. Person likes and dislikes of a certain color, with the mentality of different time and mood change. In general, the color of shoes should match his five elements.
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done

Its NOT Disneyland...
It will be interesting to see how this game plays out. Playing Keppel does not prepare PHS for Eisenhower. If Eisenhower is anything like last year they are a team of athletes that get up and down the court and shoot a lot of 3's. PHS may have to replace Jolly as I don't think he'll be able to keep up. This game will also test the coaching staff at PHS; we will see if Tucker can really coach.
Remember, like rust, baseball never sleeps.

Miguel get your act together. He isn't even respected in his own news room and I quote
"It just goes to show that if you stay out of the night clubs, don't look at this as a "job" and keep trying no matter how long the odds are, good things will happen."

Miquel,
You are killing the blog by not putting up new baseball threads DAILY! Thought you wanted to sell papers and hits? Guess I was wrong.
