College of the Canyons won its third straight game to the delight of a lively Homecoming crowd at Cougar Stadium on Saturday night, riding a 20-point output in the third quarter to seize a 29-7 conference victory over Antelope Valley College.
Last year was the best season in a decade for El Dorado. The Wildcats rattled off nine wins after a 2-2 start to finish 11-2 and won their 10th state championship to cap the season.
El Dorado Coach Steven Jones pulled no punches when asked about quarterback Sharmon Rester following the Wildcats' 60-27 victory over Marion in the Class 6A semifinals.
