CEGLINSKY Staff Writer The Canyon High Cowboys cowboys, in American history. 1 Tory marauders, adherents to the British cause in the American Revolution, who fought in the contested area of Westchester co., N.Y. showed signs of improvement this summer, but ultimately they will go only as far as Ryan Kuhn takes them once the regular basketball season rolls around in November. The 6-foot-1 senior-to-be is one of the few players with varsity experience from last season's team that edged out Valencia and Burroughs of Burbank for the Foothill League title. If Canyon hopes to duplicate the feat, Kuhn will be key. ``This is Ryan's team,'' Cowboys coach Chad Chad (chăd, chäd), Fr.

He proved to be explosive at times, too, finishing with 15 or more points in eight different games, including three with 20 or more points. ``We`re going to be counting on him this year,'' Phillips said. ``When he played well this summer, we did too. He's our go-to guy.''
