The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis traveled to Riverton to take on a familiar Rams foe they had faced twice last year, racing out to a 32-0 lead before finishing with a 62-14 victory for their seventh straight win.

Jace Buckley got the scoring started with a six-yard plunge into the end zone and doubled Caney Valley’s lead with a 12-yard score to put the Bullpups ahead 16-0.

The passing game heated up on a frigid night, as Layne Denny found Konner Paulie on two touchdown throws, one from 36 yards down the middle of the field and the other from 22 yards away on a pinpoint pass to the deep left corner of the end zone. Paulie also added an interception to his night on a stellar juggling catch to pick off Rams quarterback Aydin Witherspoon.

Caney Valley’s 32-0 lead was cut by the Rams late in the first half, but the Bullpups continued their offensive surge after the break, adding several more rushing scores, including a 55-yard touchdown run by freshman Lane Wheatley.

Denny finished the night with more than 100 passing yards and three touchdown tosses. Davis says the quarterback is playing extremely well, and the Bullpups will continue to focus on controlling the line of scrimmage and time of possession.

With one regular-season game remaining, Davis says the 47 players on his roster are an unselfish group willing to do what it takes to win football games.

Caney Valley will return in Week 8 to take on district opponent Galena, looking to finish the regular season on a high note before postseason play. Pregame coverage against the Lions will begin Friday at 6:30 pm with kickoff at 7 on US 98.
