Outlook: It appears that the Pasadena High School football team may have to reinvent itself, at least offensively, this fall as multi-faceted QB Tyron Crockom has graduated. Taking over the helm at QB will be senior Josh Desmuke, but a player that similarly has Coach Kevin Mills optimistic is sophomore Austin Lacy (6'1, 235, 4.5-40). A veteran offensive line returns to help facilitate the change. What may end up making or breaking the Bulldog season is the defense, which only returns 4 starters. Pasadena is likely going to have to battle to return to the playoffs for a second consecutive year after missing them for the four previous.
