COWBOYS, CENTURIONS, VIKINGS FIGHT FOR PLAYOFFS.Byline: Lee Barnathan Daily News Staff Writer Playoff play·off also play-off n. Sports 1. A final game or series of games played to break a tie. 2. A series of games played to determine a championship. Noun 1. berths usually are up for grabs around this, the eighth week of the high school football season. The Foothill League appears to have two teams, Hart and Burroughs (both 2-0 in league), on the way to making the playoffs. Burbank (0-2) likely won't qualify. That leaves three area teams, Canyon (0-2), Saugus (1-1) and Valencia (1-1), to fight it out for that one remaining playoff spot. A look at the games, which will begin tonight at 7:30: Canyon (2-5) vs. Saugus (3-4) at College of the Canyons College of the Canyons is one of the fastest-growing community colleges in the state. According to the National Junior College Research Association, College of the Canyons consistently ranks in the top 50 community colleges in the nation. : This one is simple. If Canyon loses, it's eliminated. And it won't be easy for the Cowboys to win this one because they've been decimated by injuries and are only now starting to recover. Quarterback Rick Thomas ST1TCH (born Rick Thomas) is American sampler for Mushroomhead and Ventana. It has been stated that Thomas was originally called "Stick", due to the fact that he is skinny, but someone mistakenly called him Stitch and the name stuck. (983 yards passing) was supposed to play last week against Burroughs, but he still felt the effects of the concussion concussion Period of nervous-function impairment that results from relatively mild brain injury, often with no bleeding in the cerebral cortex. It causes brief unconsciousness, followed by mental confusion and physical difficulties. he suffered the week before against Hart. Coach Larry Mohr said Thomas has been cleared to play. Offensive lineman Bob Mosier's shoulder has improved enough for him to play, but he's nowhere near 100 percent. The running game goes behind Brian Arnold. But the running game is limited to Jeff McKinley, who rushed for 204 yards last week, because Monte McKeon remains out with a bad ankle. Mohr said he hopes McKeon will return in two weeks for the Valencia game. Defensively, lineman Josh Kelley Joshua "Josh" Bishop Kelley (born January 30, 1980 in Augusta, Georgia) is a singer-songwriter. He began his musical career at the age of 11. He later formed a band with his younger brother, Charles, called Inside Blue. is out for the season after getting injured in·jure tr.v. in·jured, in·jur·ing, in·jures 1.

But defensive back Alex Cooper has come on and limited Hart's Cody Joyce and Glenn Adriatico of Burroughs to a total of just four catches. His next assignment likely will be Gregg Johnson of Saugus. A Saugus victory improves the Centurions' playoff chances considerably, although they have yet to play Hart and Valencia. A loss wouldn't necessarily eliminate them, but it makes the Hart and Valencia games must-win. In addition, the team has found a viable option to Pecaro in Scott Garrett E. Scott Garrett (born July 9, 1959 in Englewood, New Jersey) is a member of the United States House of Representatives. He is a Republican and has represented New Jersey's Fifth Congressional District seat since January 2003 (map). , who rushed for almost 100 yards last week in Pecaro's place. Burroughs (6-1) vs. Valencia (5-2) at Canyon High School Canyon High School can refer to:
Coach Brian Stiman said he figured out Monday morning that he was going to promote White. After a week of practice on the varsity level, Stiman pronounced White ready. After having difficulty stopping Hart's passing duo of Travis Carroll and Cody Joyce, the Vikings now get to try Burroughs' J.K. Scott and Glenn Adriatico, who have combined for most of Scott's 1,770 yards and 20 touchdowns. A victory almost guarantees Valencia a playoff berth because it will have split with Hart and Burroughs. A loss doesn't eliminate the Vikings, but that would make the Saugus game next week that much more interesting. If Burroughs wins, it sets up next week's league championship showdown with Hart, provided Hart defeats Burbank.
