On a cold fall night at PCC, the Mustangs celebrated Senior Night with a 28–0 shutout of Burbank. Muir’s defense has been outstanding over the past six games, allowing just 42 points—an average of 7 per game—and holding opponents to seven or fewer points in four of those contests.
A strong Senior Night finish for Muir, now 5–4.
Go Mustangs!
Muir head coach @TheMatt_V spoke with me following his team punching their ticket into the CIF playoffs with a 28-0 victory over Burbank on Thursday night.
We talked about the good (5 turnovers) and the ugly (18 penalties) and how tonight’s performance will make them better.
Muir offensive lineman/defensive linemen Nate Knapp spoke with me postgame about his team reaching playoffs and what a 5 turnover performance by the defense meant for the Mustangs who had a 28-0 victory on Thursday night. @SGVNSports@TheMatt_V
POSTGAME: Speaking with Muir’s Jason Brown after his team’s 28-0 win over Burbank.
He had a pair of sacks, a forced fumble, and a rushing touchdown in the win. @ReporterVince
Thomas Johnson and Jason Brown cause some chaos in the backfield and force a sack on third down for Muir.
Burbank goes three-and-out on their opening possession.
Muir strikes first. Deveon Blaylock cuts left and runs upfield for a 15-yard touchdown run.
On the play prior, Langston Brikley connected with Ethan Leyland, who made an incredible catch for a 19-yard gain. @SGVNSports
Muir: 7

Burbank was driving downfield but then Muir's David Cannon Jr. picked off Damian Corona on their own 39-yard line for the second Mustang interception of the night
Muir: 7
Burbank: 0

Muir extends their lead by two touchdowns in the second! Deveon Blaylock runs up the middle for a 45-yard touchdown.
So far everything is going right for the Mustangs. @SGVNSports
Muir goes into their 2-minute drill with 1:58 left in the second quarter and eats 1:32 of time on 11 plays and scores from a 2-yard rushing touchdown by Jason Brown.
That's 3 rushing touchdowns from the Mustangs tonight. @SGVNSports
Muir picks up their fourth interception on the night. This time, cornerback Ethan Leyland picks off Damian Corona.
A break the Mustangs needed, as they made three unsportsmanlike penalties on third down during the drive.
Muir might've put this game away with a 26-yard passing touchdown from quarterback Langston Brinkley to Marquice Garrett Jr.
It's both's first touchdown of the evening. @SGVNSports
Muir: 28
Burbank: 0
4Q: 11:21
Please ignore the awesome marching band that is Muir playing in the background; but I spoke with running back Deveon Blaylock Jr. following a 28-0 victory where his defense had 5 turnovers.
Deveon ran the ball 10 times for 94 yards and 2 TDs tonight. @SGVNSports@TheMatt_V
Muir is playoff bound!
The Mustangs are now 5-4 and will be 6-4 after next week. (Pasadena forfeited their season)
Mustangs had 6 turnovers tonight (5 interceptions, 1 FF) while shutting out the Bulldogs.
Deven Blaylock rushed for 94 yards and 2 TDs. @SGVNSports
We’re at Azusa Pacific University for the christening of APU’s new stadium. They’re hosting the Panthers of @Chapman_Fb, and on Chapman’s roster is a someone we’re familiar with: @MuirFootball (John Muir) alumnus Aaron Simon!
