The No. 2-ranked Canadian Wildcats didn’t miss a beat from a year ago, coming out in midseason form thanks to an explosive offensive performance in their 77-26 beating of West Texas High Friday night at Wildcat Stadium.

The Canadian Wildcat varsity and junior varsity boys competed in their first crosscountry meet of the 2020 season at Borger last Saturday. Senior Rylun Clark led Canadian’s debut outing, finishing the 3-mile course in 17:58 to claim 10th-place overall.

In the last week, Hemphill County Hospital District officials have reported 11 new coronavirus tests of county residents. Two factors have affected the sudden spike: the spread of COVID-19 cases in residents and staff at the Edward Abraham Nursing Home, since the first two cases were reported there three weeks ago; and the start of classes at Canadian ISD, which began last Wednesday.

City of Canadian officials and staff held a pre-construction meeting with Project Engineer Adolfo Garcia of Brandt Engineers, and representatives of Amarillo Utility Contractors last Thursday afternoon to prepare for the start of municipal utility line relocation on US 60/83 in the city limits.
