A Little Bit of History

In 1983, archrivals Hart and Canyon highs won their first Southern Section football titles on consecutive nights at College of the Canyons.

Tom Bonds threw three touchdown passes as Hart came from behind to beat North Torrance, 29-16, for the Coastal Conference championship on a Friday, and Rick Burton directed Canyon to a 40-24 victory over Bishop Montgomery in the Northwestern Conference title game on Saturday.

Canyon (13-1) won its last 10 games of the season after losing to Notre Dame, 7-0. The Cowboys would not lose again until the ninth game of the 1986 season.
