MV Hawks 8A Team Quiets Boerne, 39-6
Mountain Valley Hawks 8th A team averaged over 11 yards per play as they ran away from the Greyhounds, 39-6 on Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.
Of the 34 plays from scrimmage, 16 plays went over 10 yards of real estate as the Greyhounds found out that a Hawk can run like a Roadrunner.
Last year, MV 8A team lost one game and it was against this Boerne club. If the casual fan did not notice, Mountain Valley was still stinging from that game and wanted to make amends.
(Amen)ds were indeed made as the Hawks finished their prayer over Boerne by also saying Amen.
“We needed to win this game tonight,” Jacob Ruff said smoothly.
Ruff was just as ruthless whether he was playing linebacker or running back.
“I like to hit, but I like both sides of the ball equally,” Ruff said like a politician. “But anytime I see a chance to make a hit, then I am going to take my shot.”
Another Hawk that plays like the Tazmanian Devil on both sides of the ball is Trenton Lorett, “This is district and we were going to give it our all.”
But don’t forget that ‘D’, because Mountain Valley only allowed one fluke pass play to go the distance as a tipped ball that could have been intercepted bounced off a Hawk’s hands into a Greyhound that finished the run and scored Boerne’s only touchdown on this night.
Boerne finished with 76 total yards and 61 of those yards were on that one pass play.
A little math will reveal that Boerne ran another 20 plays on this night and accumulated only 15 total yards for the night.

One time Boerne was able to cross the midfield stripe and that was on that pass play that was almost intercepted by Lorett.
Total domination of a team that could boast of winning a game a year before against this same group of players.
Less than one yard per play, certainly speaks volumes for this defensive unit as this Greyhound was getting fed at the Buffet line while the Hawks were flying all over the place.
The score would have been even worse if J. C. Glowka’s interception would have stood up for a score.
Glowka had nothing but daylight in front of him as he caught up with Daylight’s Savings time three days before this Saturday when the clocks will go back an hour.
That would have been a nightmare for Boerne as going back another hour and playing this game would certainly make for a night to forget.
Forget was not in the cards for Mountain Valley as that painful loss last season was finally vindicated in a big way.
Loneliest position for Mountain Valley is their punter. Who is the punter?
The Hawks had eight possessions and scored on six of those drives.
The other two? End of the half and end of the game.
Now Mountain Valley will travel to Boerne again after blowing out that same team the week before.
What will this team have to do so a game like last year’s team will not happen again?
“We will need to think ‘Beast’ mold,” QB Harris said like he was thinking of halloween early. “We have to prepare mentally at practice and work hard this week and we will win next week.”
“We have been talking about as a team that one game doesn’t matter,” Head Coach Brandon Pawelek said. “That bad taste in our mouths was evident in this game based on what happened last year.”
“They were talking a lot of smack during pre/game,” Behemoth Austin Rodriguez said. “They got a little quiet during the end of this game.”
The ReSporter thinks that they might have had a ‘bad’ taste in their mouth at the end of this game.
“Next week it will be round two,” Lorett said as if he was in the middle of the boxing ring. “And we are going to win district and get it done.”
