No matter the personnel, the 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. accomplished what no other team has in the tournament's 17-year history by winning their third consecutive title with a 25-22 victory over Lancaster in Saturday's championship match. ``It was our homecoming Homecoming Odyssey concerning Odysseus’s difficulties in getting home after war.

Arnold served three consecutive points to tie the score at 24-24, then Lauren Woodhouse and Jill Anderson delivered kills during another three-point run that clinched a berth in the semifinals. ``It's almost like they want to be down,'' Ingino said. Added co-coach Jeff Cody: ``They play more relaxed when they're behind. They did it all day.'' Following a 25-16 victory over Granada Hills, Canyon squared off in the final against fourth-seeded Lancaster, led by former Cowboys coach Dave Gutierrez. Canyon won its first two tournament titles in 2001 and 2004 under Gutierrez, a 1991 Sylmar High graduate. Lancaster, which had also reached the championship without dropping a game, again gave the Cowboys cause for concern by building the early lead. ``Our excitement level was a little too high at the start,'' Ingino said. ``But then we calmed it down and played our game.'' Six Canyon players connected with Arnold during a 15-4 run that allowed the Cowboys to seize the momentum.

Canyon's celebration didn't end there. The Cowboys did something it had not done since 1997: beat four-time Foothill League champion, Valencia Tuesday night. Canyon's win may have hurt the Vikings' chances of catching Hart in the league standings. With the loss, Valencia fell to 5-2, making the race for the Foothill League title tighter. With three regular season matches left, Hart of Newhall sits atop the standings with a 6-1 league record, Valencia and Saugus tied for second at 5-2 and Canyon in third at 4-3.
