For Saugus coach Ron Hilton, the triumph over Pasadena was especially sweet. Not only was it his first as a head coach, it came just in time. In the days leading up to the Pasadena game, Hilton expressed concern players might start giving up if they didn't win. Canyon coach Larry Mohr is happy, too.

For the season, his numbers are 48 rushes, 407 yards, 8.5 average. Stoddard stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 170 pounds.

His performances have helped Saugus amass an average of 312 yards of offense per game, 10th best in the area. ``He's patient,'' Hilton said. ``He waits for the block, and, when you hit him, he's not going down. You'll have to wrap around him.'' Quarterback Travis Ivey also has contributed, passing for 853 yards and five touchdowns. But he also has nine interceptions. Canyon (3-2): The singularly best thing about this season so far, Mohr said, is the team is healthy. At this time last year, the Cowboys were wracked with injuries, a big reason they missed the playoffs for the first time since 1981. ``I'm happy the kids were in every game,'' Mohr said. ``They kept coming back.''

Valencia (4-1):The Vikings also won last week, but they're not as excited as Canyon or Saugus because they believe they haven't done anything special yet.

The stated goal has been to make the playoffs. ``We're entering league with caution because of how we fared last year,'' Stiman said. ``We're 4-1, and, yes, we feel good about it.
