Let’s Go Lake!
The Lake finished regular season with a respectable, 7-3 record and after a fourth quarter comeback win over Pleasanton will now use some momentum in their coming up Bi-District contest against an old foe Taylor Duck team this Friday in Lockhart High School with kick-off at 7:00pm.
CLake started slow with a first series fumble followed with 3 series composed of 3 plays and punt sequence.
Meanwhile the Eagles’ punt return on their second possession started 35 yards for a score. It would be an 8 play and 25 yard field goal, 3-0 score that would end up being all the scoring for all 24 those first half minutes.
CLHS had 89 total yards during those opening two frames with 48 yards coming on their last drive before running out of time.
Pleasanton started their second half with another 8 play drive which was helped with a 26 yard pass play and 29 yard scoring completion for a, 10-0 lead.
Hit Man says way to make your hits a winner Lake!
The Lake responded with a 10 play drive covering 46 yards and a Jack Stracener, first field goal, traveling 31 yards and putting this battle back into a one score lead, 10-3.
This Eagle team kept soaring with another time consuming 12 play drive which would produce a 41 yard field goal. Leaving CL with a 10 point deficit two plays into that final quarter of work.
This work would need to come both offensively with at least one defensive stop.
Possessions would be treated like gold in this contest and it was the Hawk’s Special Team who helped next when Gram Simpson took his kick-off return setting only needing 57 yards to paydirt. It took 5 plays and a Simpson 4 yard run with still more work needed to be done still needing 3 points for a tie.
Pleasanton did drain more precious minutes off the clock using a 12 play drive which would leave CLake needing to go 76 yards for their final score be it field goal or touchdown.
Fifteen plays later it would be Chris Brown’s power sneak that gave CL a hard fought must win leaving this Eagle team with enough time to respond.
That Canyon Lake final drive had just two 3rd down plays but it would be a Lucas Schexnayder 20 yard catch and run to the 3 yard line that erased an earlier holding call that led to his finishing touches and Hawk with a victory.
A Hawk Defense would be key in giving CLake’s offense enough time and chance to pull this win off after scoring on all 4 possessions in that second half which turned out to be a right potion and putting those same ingredients starting this coming Friday for another win.
Canyon Lake has a, 4-0 record over Pleasanton now with those first two coming during post-season play.
Way to GO LAKE!
