Football Playoff Implications for Canyon Lake
If you have seen what the 14-4A-I standings look like then you certainly can deduce that their are several ways that the seeding could end based on what is happening this Friday.
First off, Liberty Hill has clinched the first seed by winning the district and having a head to head win over Boerne, regardless of what happens in there game with Bandera.
Boerne can clinch the second seed with a win over CL Hawks and that would put that third and fourth spot up for grabs.
A CL Hawk win over Boerne would put the Hawks as the second seed. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill beat Bandera CL Hawks 3-2 Hawks beat Boerne Boerne 3-2 Loss to Hawks. Fredericksburg 2-3 With a win over Taylor Taylor 1-4 Loss to Fredericksburg Bandera 1-4 Loss to Liberty Hill
======================================
A Hawk loss and a Bandera and Taylor loss would have CL Hawks placed in third place. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill win over Bandera. Boerne 4-1 Win over CL Hawks CL Hawks 2-3 Hawks get third place based on earlier win over Billies. Fredericksburg 2-3 Fredericksburg beat Taylor. Bandera 1-4 Loss to Liberty Hill Taylor 1-4 Loss to Fredericksburg.
=======================================
CL Hawks would receive fourth spot based on head to head loss to Taylor last week. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill beat Bandera Boerne 4-1 Boerne beat your Hawks Taylor 2-3 Taylor beat Fredericksburg CL Hawks 2-3 Hawks loss to Boerne Fredericksburg 1-4 Fredericksburg loss to Taylor Bandera 1-4 Bandera loss to Liberty Hill
=======================================
A Hawk loss to Boerne and a Bandera/Taylor win over Liberty Hill/Fredericksburg... Liberty Hill 4-1 Loss to Bandera Boerne 4-1 Win over CL Hawks Bandera 2-3 With win over Liberty Hill Taylor 2-3 With win over Fredericksburg CL Hawks 2-3 With loss over Boerne Fredericksburg 1-4 With loss to Taylor
So, are you confused now? Let’s keep this simple and say that CL Hawks still control their destiny with a win over the Greyhounds and that would put them at their highest seeding.
That statement is important as it would pit CL Hawks against a third seed in the competing district.
If Canyon Lake loses and Taylor and Bandera both win then your Hawks are thrown back four years ago when they lost out on the playoff picture when they possessed an 8-2 record.
Taylor can certainly win their game with Fredericksburg, but one thing has been proven by Taylor so far this year is that this team is not the same group the Hawks faced when playing on the road.
But, that Duck team that beat your Hawks last week did not look like a team getting their first win.
Bandera gets Liberty Hill at home and that is the good news. The bad news for the Bulldogs is that Liberty Hill’s offense is the same one that the Hawks scored 37 points on.
The ReSporter feels a win over Boerne is more likely than people think.
Reduce the turnovers and Canyon Lake can win this game with an offense that can chew up the clock and keep the Greyhound’s passing offense off the field.
Think back in the days when the Hawks played Navarro and your Hawks were a passing team. The pressure of having to score each time with the ball was paramount based on how those Panther teams could get the ball anywhere and score and drain the clock.
Liberty Hill rushed for 443 yards against Boerne and the Greyhounds only had 33 plays to run versus 80 plays for the Panthers.
Both teams were even on the turnover game with two a piece.
Pretty simple. Canyon Lake can win this game and that will make that mess above in this article much easier to understand.
Go Hawks beat the Greyhounds!!
