Canyon Lake will be traveling to Burnet to face another 3A power from 8-3A District.

The Hawks played Burnet two years while in the same district when this program was just starting and took a beating for two games during that span.

CL got revenge the next year when the Hawks faced a Bulldog team in their first round of playoffs. This game was a first half blow out as Canyon Lake opened a safe lead and held on for a victory winning 27-20.

Canyon Lake Volleyball is fresh off losing to Devine on Tuesday night in a

Head Volleyball Coach Nicole Creek

ReSporter: We thought this match with Devine would be a very winnable game, what happened?

Coach Creek: “It should of been a very winnable game, much like Llano was, but we are just making two many unforced errors in the game and we are taking to long to get started. We seem to always be playing catch up when we start the games four of five points down.”

ReSporter: Is there a difference in the ways this team plays at home versus at another venue?

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball team will start playing for keeps this Friday at the Hawk gym, when Wimberley comes to town to start District 27-3A competition.

This year looks like a District that will be tough for every game. Literally there are not any weak links or gimme games to be had.

How can you come to this conclusion? Not one team has a losing record coming into the season openers. Each team has played over 20 games up to this point and there are a lot of comparisons you can run to see how the teams will stack up against each other.

Canyon Lake can certainly have a say in this season’s final placing in district and this team looks like a better team than last year’s club. This could be a season where the bottom three in district could of made the playoffs last season.

The ReSporter would like to give you an idea of each school and an idea of what might be in store for this round robin of games.

Story by Coach Lucas Chapman

The Junior Varsity Hawks survived a late charge by the La Vernia Bears Thursday night in La Vernia to win 13-6. The victory moved the Hawks to 3-0 on the season.

After a 0-0 game at the half, Sophomore Skyler Tschoepe put the Hawks on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run on a quarterback sneak with Jared Bruckman adding the PAT. In the fourth quarter, Tschoepe was at it again, connecting on a 5 yard touchdown strike to Wide Receiver Shane Relkin. The score put the Hawks up 13-0 late in the game.

Down two scorea, La Vernia went to the air and scored on a 20 yard pass with just over 30 seconds to play, Tommy Clark stripped the ball after a short completion, and Cody Powell recovered the fumble to seal the victory.

The Canyon Lake defense was stifling all night long, forcing the Bears to go to the air after stuffing the run for most of the game. When the Bears dropped back to pass, the secondary stepped up with several pass break ups and sure tackling in the open field.

The Hawks return home this week to play the Burnet Bulldogs.

Canyon Lake Volleyball team won a game they were suppose to win when they swept Burnet Bulldogs at the Hawk gym last Friday night, 25-13, 25-23, 25-21.

“A three game win is better than a five game loss,” Head Coach Nicole Creek stated. “We worked on our defense a lot this past week and it was better overall match.”

Coach Creek was expounding on how many unforced errors Canyon Lake endured in their five game loss to Llano earlier in the week.

Junior Amber Ramsey continues her impressive play at the net with 20 kills against Burnet.

Senior Marisa Ellis presence was also seen with 18 assists, 4 blocks, and 13 digs as this group of girls ready themselves for a gauntlet schedule when District 27-3A starts against Wimberley next Friday night at the Hawks gym.

“We got some momentum as we ready ourselves for next week,” Coach Creek said.

Canyon Lake lost by a claw, 14-13 to La Vernia Bears last Friday night at Hawk stadium. A blocked extra point was the difference in this game as the special teams did play a better game, however the blocked extra point would end up haunting this Hawk team for another week.

The Hawks defense bottled up the Bears with only 251 total yards but could not capitalize when they needed too in order to ice La Vernia.

This defense had another solid effort overall and now have a three game stint of holding opponents under 300 yards of total offense.

The three game average is 255 yards and only 143 yards via the ground. Canyon Lake gave up 251 yards to the Bears and that included a 93 yard drive at the end of regulation.

“We played a heck of a game and our defense did a lot better,” Senior Trevor Duty deduced. “We did our hardest and I put all I could in that last drive. We were prepared…we just let off the pedal too much.”

That stat will tell you this team might be able to make some noise as CL tries to get their offense in sync and balance out each aspect of what a winning program can put together.

Canyon Lake was run down by La Vernia Bears as the Freshman team took it on the chin to the tune of 26-0, last night at a soggy Hawk field.

La Vernia’s running game was stepping it off against Canyon Lake as the first half yards were all the result of rushing plays.

The refs were also stepping it off against Canyon Lake, as they amassed 10 penalties for 55 yards. This was not referees blowing calls, it was a freshman team that was not concentrating on snap counts.

Stat line for the game was the total yardage for the first half:
 Canyon Lake    49 total yards
 CL Flags       55 total yards

Canyon Lake was still in the game as they were driving for a touchdown as the first half was coming to an end, as on the last play a pass to the end zone was intercepted and returned 95 yards for a Bears touchdown.

The ReSporter had a good time talking to Head Coach Charley Drum this week, we hope

Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: Two weeks in a row, the special teams have had some trying times, what have you done to try to rectify this part of their game?

Coach Drum: “We are getting the kids situated and they were Junior Varsity players last year and so we are trying to get them where they need to be. We are going to change up some players in the games. This is easier said than done sometimes.”

The ReSporter: Quarterback Branson Belcher had the most yards rushing by a quarterback in the history of Canyon Lake last week.

Coach Drum: “That was one positive from last week. We are trying to get Branson to buy into this to be in his game. Two weeks ago in the Blanco game, he could of made plays with his feet and it cost us in some of the plays. He has never been asked to make plays with his feet.”
