The Canyon Cowboys will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Buena Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Canyon is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a blow against Charter Oak on Friday, falling 44-6. While losing is never fun, the Cowboys can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 376th, while the Chargers are ranked 134th).
