Foothill football: Ain’t that a kick
All season long, Canyon made its name with big offense and, at times, struggled on defense. In a rivalry game, apparently all bets are off. Israel Cabrera's interception deep in Hart territory with 1:26 to play set up Bonifacio Rojas' 17-yard game-winning field goal as time expired to give Canyon a 17-14 win over Hart on Friday night at College of the Canyons. "As a kid, I've always known the rivalry, Canyon-Hart. I've gone to ...

Kelsea Hundtoft had 16 kills to lead COC to set scores of 25-15, 25-15, 20-25 and 25-18. "Kelsea was very smart tonight, not just swinging away but putting it where we wanted ...
