Canyon and Hart are tied for first place in league with Valencia and Saugus. Canyon narrowly escaped with a 13-7 win over West Ranch last week. Cowboys receiver Coley Apsay caught the game-winning touchdown with 17 seconds to play in the game.

Hart is coming off a stunning, 19-14, win over Valencia. Indians receiver Tim White came through with two big plays in the final two minutes of the game and scored the winning touchdown on a 40-yard reception.
