Finally!

Hart avoids being ‘the one’
Oh, what could have been. Or what should have been.

"When the final tick went off, I let off a big exhale," said Hart quarterback ...

Canyon will face the Drillers at Harry Welch Stadium tonight at 7:30 p.m. A win against Bakersfield may prove that the Cowboys are on track to become a championship team again.
