Go ahead and add a hard-nosed playoff victory to the Cougarsâ ever-expanding list of accomplishments in 2020.
Canyonâs odyssey from 0-10 to 10-1 took center stage as the Cougars defended their home field during a thrilling 20-17 victory against Pflugerville on Thursday night. Canyon survived a late comeback bid by the Panthers, who trimmed a 20-3 deficit down to just three points with 3:52 left to go.
Pflugerville later took possession at its own 30-yard line with 21 seconds left and advanced to midfield on a quick pass to Jake Iloka. However, moments later senior linebacker Alex Bouloubasis put the finishing touches on the win by sending receiver Donald Springs to the turf with a crushing hit.
