It could be second-place Burroughs, last-place Hart or Valencia, with which the Cowboys share the top spot in the Foothill League. All pose a threat. ``Burroughs is going to be fired up, but really, every game is a must-win from here on out,'' Canyon coach Chad Chad (chăd, chäd), Fr. Tchad, officially Republic of Chad, republic (2005 est. pop. 9,826,000), 495,752 sq mi (1,284,000 sq km), N central Africa. Phillips said. ``Things are only going to get tougher.'' The second half of league play begins this week, and a Canyon victory over Burroughs (17-4 overall, 3-2 Foothill), ranked No. by 13 the Daily News, would drop the Indians two games back in the league race and push the Cowboys (14-7, 4-1), ranked No. 12, closer to a league title.

Modern looms are of two types, those with a shuttle (the part that carries the weft through the shed) and those without; the latter draw the weft from a next week for Canyon, followed by games at No. 12 Valencia and Hart to close out the season. ``It's now or never for us,'' Phillips said. --Go-to guy: Teddy Goetz is a huge reason for Valencia's success. The 6-foot-5 senior is averaging a league-best 15.7 points per game and is No. 2 in rebounds (8.4 per game), behind Canyon's Kris Rincon. ``He's our leader, our captain,'' Valencia coach Robert ``Rocket'' Collins said. ``Without him, we're the same place as everyone one else is without their star. Obviously, he's important. ``More often than not, he's our No. 1 option. When he plays well, we play well.'' The Vikings (17-4, 4-1) have won eight of their past nine games and resume league play Friday against visiting Saugus. --New outlook? Saugus (6-15, 1-4) might have finally turned things around, winning twoof its three games last week - 56-54 Wednesday over Hart and 68-31 Saturday over Golden Valley. Valencia is up next, followed by Canyon and Hart, so the going gets tougher. The Centurions, who struggled in December and early January, started the season 4-14.
