Related: About this forumCanadian Wildcats' foreign-exchange student could return to Australia with state football title
Canadian senior Lachie Beavan, center, helps hold the Australian flag following Canadian's 49-14 victory against Mart in a Class 2A Division I semifinal Friday in Wichita Falls. Beavan is a foreign-exchange student from Australia.
CANADIAN What?
Was that really an Australian flag in the center of a Canadian Wildcat celebration for beating Mart in the Class 2A Division I state semifinals last week?
Sure was.
And its a story the Wildcats coaching staff and players are extremely proud to share.
Lachie is a teammate, said Canadian senior captain and wide receiver Braiden Galla. Hes a brother to us. When he gets into the game, its an awesome thing.
Lachie Beavan is a senior backup wide receiver for the 14-0 Wildcats, who play for the 2A D-I state championship Thursday. Beavan wears No. 82 and gets into the game only when Canadian is routing its opponent.

especially when the sportscasters will discuss the Canadian-Mason game today.

Mason took the lead then Canadian scored and didn't look back. No word as to whether the Aussie got a reception though.
