Canadian kept on trucking Friday night with another lopsided win, blowing out Bangs 56-13 in the Class 3A Division II area round on Friday night at Leo Brittain Field Lions Stadium in Vernon. The game against the Dragons (9-2) was never close.

Senior Wildcat Cross-Country runner Rylun Clark competed in the State XC Meet at Round Rock on Monday and finished the 5K course in 16th-place, with a time of 16:27.18.
