The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis are aiming for a 3-0 start after outscoring their first two opponents 113-0.

 

The Bullpups’ rushing attack powered the team to a Week 1 victory, while the passing game broke open in Week 2, giving Caney Valley a balanced approach on offense.

 

The defense has also been a standout, forcing turnovers and coming up with key stops on fourth down. Davis says Samuel Denton, along with the ability of all three levels of the defense to stop the run, has been a big part of the Bullpups’ success. 

 

Caney Valley will face a familiar Tri-Valley League foe in Humboldt this Friday, marking the fifth consecutive year the two teams have met. Davis says the Cubs like to outnumber opponents and stay versatile by mixing the run and pass. 

 

Caney Valley won last year’s matchup 38-0, while Humboldt won the previous three meetings from 2022 through 2024. The two 2-0 teams will meet tonight in Caney, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff set for 7 on US 98.
