Is Canyon del Oro back? It’s hard to say. The Dorados beat Prescott 35-23 Friday night at home in an important 4A clash but the game also rang the bell on what will be very difficult region schedule for both squads.

Canyon del Oro (4-1) has to survive a gauntlet in the 4A Kino Region that includes Catalina Foothills (2-3), Sahuaro (5-1), Salpointe (5-0) and Casa Grande (4-1). With little room for error, The Dorados will be living on the edge the rest of the way while Prescott (3-2) has to survive Coconino (4-1), Bradshaw Mountain (6-0) and Mingus Union (4-2) in the Grand Canyon Region. How difficult is that? The Badgers have won seven games three times since 2014 and it still wasn’t enough to make the playoffs…
