The American team once again dominated their Canadian rivals in the 25th annual CanAm Bowl in Hanna, Alberta on Saturday, July 8. The USA ran away with the contest 84-16 to move to 20-5 overall in the series dating back to 1997.
Four Wyoming players, including Clayton Rux of Dubois, played in the game. Joining Rux were Kannadis Peroulis, Hadley Myers, and David Hernandez of Little Snake River along with players from Texas, Nebraska, Montana, and Colorado.
Rux also played earlier this summer in the Wyoming-Nebraska All-Star game at Chadron State University with teammates Ryan Wells, and Kaden Chamley.
