The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis are coming off a 64-26 victory over the Baxter Springs Lions last Friday.

 

Caney continues to use a strong ground game paired with a timely, lethal passing attack to topple opponents, while the defense has allowed just four touchdowns over the past four games.

 

Davis says the most impressive thing about last week’s game was his team’s ability to answer whenever the Lions gained momentum. What was a seesaw contest in the first half turned into a rout over the final 24 minutes.

 

The Bullpups will face undefeated Neodesha in the Bluestreaks’ Homecoming game tonight, looking to make it 11 straight victories over the Tri-Valley League opponent. Davis says the two teams know each other well, and he’s expecting another good game against a fundamentally sound squad.

 

Caney Valley took last year’s matchup in a defensive slugfest, with Neodesha clinging to a 6-0 lead entering the fourth quarter before the Bullpups rattled off 22 unanswered points to take the win. Pregame coverage for tonight’s marquee matchup begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.
