Football will get interesting this week with the winner of Canyon Lake/Somerset game having an inside track for a playoff home game. Davenport are still without a blemish and ranked 5th in the State while CL’s win over Freddie gives us a tie-breaker if we tie them.
Cross Country will have their district meet in Bandera this Thursday.
Last week at The Lake was even-steven for volleyball with a win/loss and this week will have an important game at Fredericksburg on Friday. CL breezed through their first 3 opponents on that first district go-around and replicating that will boost Canyon Lake with their first 20 win season since 2019 and a playoff bid.
That Billie game will start the 2nd round of district battles and the loser of the Bandera/Long Creek game will eliminate that school. For the most part…those 4 schools look set with that Hawk/Billie contest either leading to a tie for 3rd/4th or a Lake win cementing a 3rd place finish.
Below are the Standings and those numbers beside each school indicates attendance size which will decide if The Lake would be placed with smaller or larger schools in the post-season bracket.

Let’s GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake ran their win streak to 5 games after staving off a relentless Fredericksburg Billies team in a minutia filled contest, 42-28.
Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!
This contest started with a lot of minutia as each team with missed snaps, delay of game penalties, just little things that added up with The Lake being able to add up more positive minutia rather than those negative minutia happenings.
On this night it was a Billie returning an interception 45 yards to start this contest that had CLake looking at their first deficit with 7 minutes left on a first quarter clock.
Canyon Lake countered with an 8 play drive that was highlighted when a Lucas Schexnayder reception covered 47 yards and helped The Lake punch it in when running back Chris Brown bulled his way into the end zone from 2 yards out.
Another special team highlight which has become a common occurrence this season featured a blocked field goal attempt by Kobe Halverson who would return that block 61 yards which gave CL a lead that would not be relinquished.
Then a defensive interception for Carter Prieto on Fredericksburg’s next possession had Canyon Lake needing just 29 yards which needed 6 plays for another Schexnayder reception… this time for 18 yards on the Billie 7 yard line. It would be a Brown brauning for 3 yards for a score and, 21-7 lead.
GO Lake!
Freddie would respond two possession later with an efficient 2 pass play drive covering 67 yards and leaving 1:28 before halftime and a 7 point deficit.
Canyon Lake would capitalize next when Gram Simpson (who finished with 102 yards) covered 16 yards and that was followed with a pass interference and a 37 yard Jace Wheeler strike to Halverson giving CL a, 28-14 halftime advantage.
It would be a 9 yard sack for Joseph Matos that ended this up and down half.
Starting the second half it would be a 40 yard Simpson run followed with a Peyton King 27 yard catch that increased CL’s lead to, 35-14.
A Hawk defensive stand would ice this affair when Canyon Lake used a 6 play drive with another King reception this time for 60 yards for at TD and a Hawk, 42-14 lead.
Freddie would stage two more scores but CL’s defense would answer the bell two more times when JR Lindell tipped a ball that went into Tristan Alexander’s hands for his first interception this season.
There was still enough of those negative minutia plays that will give coaches enough to work on before next week’s game with Somerset.
This win did give Canyon Lake a milestone with Freddie being the first school to absorb 10 losses with just 6 wins over The Lake.
Little things that can add with a goal of finishing with more positive than negative events. That formula will be needed against a Bulldog team that won their first district battle over Uvalde.
A win would give a boost to these Hawks for a chance of finishing high enough to minimize those little negative minutia things.
Way to Go Lake & Beat Somerset!

QB Jake Stringer gets some pressure as The Lake comes up just short in 2nd half comeback.
Let’s Go Hawks!
Canyon Lake’s Freshman football has been on a learning curve most of this season but after a one point loss to Fredericksburg that had the Billies with a 21-0 halftime lead….the light switch turned on with an awakening second half and one point loss eventual, 21-20.
This awakening that happened was between those two halves and was significant on both sides of the ball.
A Lake’s defense allowed 77 ground yards and two completions in those last two sessions and it gave this Hawk offense a chance for their awakening while scoring 3 touchdowns and coming up just short on two poin conversion tries which resulted in this one point set-back.
QB Jake Stringer uncorked a 14 yard touchdown pass to Kasen Piel which started those eye opening moments in this awakening during this 2nd half on a Hawk first drive to start the 2nd half.
These Hawks only needed one play on their next drive after a Freddie punt. Setting up shop on their own 22 yard line it would be Caleb Cross who would take in a catch and run 78 yard play with still more than a quarter remaining.
Way to Plug those Leaks Lake!
A Lake defense would continue opening their eyes for more sunlight in this awakening and forced a punt and forced a fumble that had Maverick Stepanovich with the recovery on Freddie’s next time with the ball.
Now a wide open CL Offense would answer with another one play pass for a touchdown.
Cross got a finger on this Stringer pass but it was intended for Hayden Gemar who grabbed this pass and flew to the end zone for 73 yards which still had these Hawks down by one point.
CL’s Defense would respond with another stop but this final drive would stall needing 38 yards of real estate to complete a wild comeback.
This is the type of contest that shows what a team can do when firing on all cylinders for a team that needed to awake from a slumber that had lasted too long this season.
Now a chance to see if this awakening can continue when The Lake’s Freshman take on Somerset at the Hawk Nest next Thursday with the kick-off schedule at 5:00pm.
Stay Awake Lake!

Game Article | Comments Off on Hawk’s Freshman Have Awakening in One Point Set-Back to Billies, 21-20
Hawk’s JV Run out Clock in, 12-6 win over Freddie. Go Lake!
GO HAWKS!
The Lake’s Junior Varsity ran their district record to, 2-0 after another dominating defensive effort in win over Fredericksburg, 12-6.
“We are just getting back to the basics,” Head JV Coach Brandon Vasquez started when asked about how well this team has performed in their last two outings. “Calls are very simple and I told the guys that they have to be ready for those moments….and those guys are. We still have a long way to go and told them that if there is still time on that clock then we were going to win this game hands down and that is what it has to be week in and week out. The energy they bring to practice every week shows up on game night.”
Coach Vasquez continued, “We are nails against the board and we want to fly around and play solid football.”
Sold football was a key on this win that, The Lake, gave away one scoring drive for Freddie that went one yard after a muffed punt. The play gave this Billie team a touchdown play for what would end up being their only score.
Way to Make us Proud Hawks!
Other than that snafu it was Canyon Lake’s Defense that dominated allowing 2.2 yards per offensive play.
CL’s offense did respond through the air with an opening first pass that QB Damon Gracia found Receiver Dario Faz in stride for a catch and run that gave a quick score lead, 6-0.
It was during that 2nd quarter that CL’s gift allowed a Billie touchdown and tied game before halftime.
The Hawks second drive to start the second half would give CL a lead that would not be threatened when Garcia found Colten Adams on a 39 yard post play and score.
That touchdown pass converted a 4th and 21 yards needed for a first and this touchdown put a cherry on top for a win.
Go Lake!
Defensively CL was able to get two interceptions with that first INT having Slater Sutherland covering this Billie receiver like a blanket on a wintry Colorado night. (The ReSporter wanted to convey that Sutherland ended up having to give a red jersey back that he had commandeered off this Billie receiver)
That second INT ended any chance for a Billie comeback when Walker Galvan stole the ball on the home team’s sideline. Another theft that had Billie Fans calling 911 for assistance to get Galvan taken in for theft questioning.
Add those plays to several (11) others that had Fredericksburg losing yardage which would be highlighted when Defensive End Charles Palmer had his second sack and interviewed at Brookshire’s for a sacking gig when he stuffed Freddie’s QB for an 11 yard loss.
That was a pivotable play after CL had fumbled a punt which had Fred threatening for a score and only needing 20 yards for a go ahead score late during that first half. With that yardage loss presented a 3rd and 21 yards needed for a conversion. Knowing this Home Team was averaging 2 yards per play would make it inevitable that no score would be forthcoming.
A great win for a Hawk team that will be back at the Hawk Nest this coming Thursday when they welcome Somerset’s Bulldogs with kick-off commencing after CL’s Freshman dispose of the Bulldogs Freshman squad.
Way to Go Hawks!

A much needed Hawk Volleyball Sweep last week that has one more beatable Bandera this Tuesday on the road. Sweeping the first 3 games would put this year’s Volleyball team on an inside track for a post-season bid. The first round of district opponents will conclude with the two powerhouse programs with Davenport being first on that list this Friday at the Hawk Nest.
Football goes into their 2nd district battle Friday when Those Battlin Billies come to the Hawk Nest. Last year Canyon Lake started their battle against Fredericksburg on fire but fizzled out from the 2nd quarter on…with only one score.
The Billies were more efficient and got a win which had your Hawks playing catch-up for the remainder of district play. Freddie would need to lose twice which happened the last game.
That allowed Canyon Lake to win a 3-way tie breaker sweepstakes which gave The Lake a first round home playoff against Austin Travis.
A primary goal for that same scenario this time around and you can go to The ReSporter’s Football Standings article to see what is happening with the Bi-District round district in Austin is faring.
Cross Country District will be next week in Bandera.

CL Hawks won the trenches in win over JFK, Way to GO LAKE!
Let’s Go Lake!
Canyon Lake gets down to business as district schedule continues into November and this week Fredericksburg comes calling as a match-up of two district undefeated foes.
Davenport is that third school being undefeated with Somerset started district play with an open date and these Bulldogs will open at Uvalde.
Somerset will make their presence known with just one loss so far and with a tough pre-district slate should be a team fighting for an upper chamber chance of being in that seed in the division.
Davenport will be favored heavily in their match up with the same Rocket team your Hawk’s disposed of last week.
Last year, a Billie/Hawk contest was a mild upset for FHS and that result played out till the end of district play. That had a tie-breaker scenario with Somerset for a chance of seeing where those 3 schools would be placed. CL was 2nd place district finish.
Canyon Lake will welcome the Billies for a chance of being the first opponent to reach 10 losses in CL’s short sports history if they come out with a loss.
The ReSporter has compiled team stats below which can show what strengths and weaknesses with a half-done season. These stats are not absolute but should suffice in showing what each school can produce in game action.
Davenport is ranked 5th in Texas and will be a tough out as they have played a tough schedule without a blemish.
A lot still out there for each team to make their mark and The Lake’s battle with Freddie will be paramount. Each week we will start to make district seeding clearer.
With school enrollment showing on the standings…you can decipher how these top 4 schools will be divided when playoffs begin. The first two first seeds will have a home field advantage, same as last season, when CL played host to Austin Travis.

Ryan Rena & Divan Hernandez after win over JFK! Go Hawks!
Way to GO LAKE!
John F. Kennedy Rockets turned out to be duds after a Hawk 28 point first quarter blitz and eventual, 56-6 final tally.
Yes, one Rocket did go off with a 79 yard run with 5 minutes left in that first frame but that turned out to be the only fireworks for this Homecoming crowd and Lake Flood.
CL started this contest with a 2 play drive covering 65 yards which had a Hayes Holladay pass to Kobe Halverson for 37 yards followed with a 28 yard strike to Peyton King coming from QB Jace Wheeler.
There would be more where that came from as your Hawk’s scored on all but two possessions in this contest with one possession having The Lake in a victory formation to end the game.
Wheeler keeps climbing the Quarterback Stat Sheet as he was placed at 2nd with career yardage (3186 yards) and trails Ross Wagliardo (3896 yards) for top notch.
Granted, The Lake, was in a run oriented offense from 2013 to 2023 seasons but Wheeler missed two and a half games last year and has 15 starts.
Way to Go Hawks!
Receiving will be another stat that will be attended by several players with King and Halverson continue their ascent to the top.
The Rockets did have one go off on a 79 yard run and close the score, 14-6 but that was JFK’s only take-off as the rest of their Fleet would be grounded for this new slot-t team.
While Wheeler continued to throw strikes hitting a Hawk record of 12 before that first incomplete pass on CL’s first drive to start the second half.
With a safe lead both teams would resort to a run game which would speed up this battle combining a slot-t with a Hawk team running the clock enjoying a 43 point lead.
Canyon Lake can certainly relate to seeing growing pains for a start-up slot-t offense that saw a Hawk school craft a 6 game losing streak to start their 2013 season.
The Lake will be home next Friday when they welcome Fredericksburg who will enter the Hawk Nest with a two game winning streak.
BY THE NUMBERS:
0 Yards given up in passing by JFK beat 3 yds against Navarro 2009.
4 Game winning streak for Lake. Tied 4 other times for 3rd Best.
6 Number of points given up in 2nd & 3rd Quarters combined.

Hawks Junior Varsity’s Defense in a hand-to-hand combat in shutout over JFK, 26-0.
Isaac Blinkley with a 79 yard TD run & Mason Hallmark with two sacks in Hawk’s win over Rockets.
Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity was efficient in win over JFK by scoring a, 26-0 shut-out for first district play win.
The Hawk’s defense dominated by allowing a 22 yard pass and 32 yard rushing play as their only damage resulting giving up 2.4 yards of real estate per snap.
The Lake’s offense capitalized on a fumble recovery on these Rockets muffed punt snap and a one play pass from QB Damon Garcia to Peyton Vann sneaking to the right end of the end zone for a touchdown.
A Rocket 4th down gamble did not pay off on JFK’s next drive gave CL another short field on their second possession which had Isaac Brinkley darting 5 yards for a Hawk, 14-0 lead with 2 minutes remaining in that first frame.
With that muffed punt for the Visitors and a Hawk 4 yard punt that formation would force each school using all 4 downs to move the chains.
But that was not necessary on CLake’s next drive that had Brinkley playing two below on his scamper going for 79 yards to pay-dirt and Hawk, 20-0 first half lead.
Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!
Canyon Lake would take advantage opening the 2nd half with the ball and taking 6 plays that went for 65 yards and final nail in this win, 26-0.
That drive started with an incomplete pass but was followed with 4 plays going 10 or more yards when QB Garcia (16 yards) and RB Oliver Carey-Spoon (17 yards) set up an 18 yard scoring strike when Garcia found an open Dario Faz catch and run for that final score.
Canyon Lake will be up next on the road at Fredericksburg for a chance to continue their momentum and another win!
Way to GO LAKE!

Game Article | Comments Off on CLJV’s Defense Continues Strong Showing in Win Over Rockets, 26-0
(L-R) Bella Biasatti, Kylee Goff, Kylie Rodriguez stood out in Hawk’s win over Billies, 3-1. Go Lake!
GO Lake!
Canyon Lake started district play with a win over Fredericksburg, 3-1 as these Hawks circled this as a must win for a chance in making the playoffs.
Winning those winnable games is a must and these Billies fit that description entering District 29-4A with a losing record and CLake needing to protect the Hawk Nest.
The Lake has not made the playoffs since a 2019 season which happened to be the last time reaching the 20 win plateau.
During the last 3 seasons the Hawks have started district play with a, 0-3 record with the Billies without taking a set. So this win did break some streaks from the wrong side of the ledger.
Head Coach Daniella Villarreal stated, “Last night’s game was an exciting way to kick off our district season! I’m really proud of the way the girls played and stepped up in the environment. They demonstrated consistent confidence and composure throughout the match.”
Canyon Lake’s depth was certainly in attendance on this night, 6 different Hawks finished with 5 or more kills. Kylie Rodriguez (15) and Preslie Owens (13) leading the pack.
Coach Villarreal spoke of Rodriguez strength for this team, “Kylie Rodriguez was “crafty” as a hitter, finding smart shots, adjusting to Fred’s big block, and swinging the ball down the line to put points away at key moments in the end. Kylie is a consistent all-around player who contributes in so many ways, from tough serves and solid serve receive to excellent defense that keeps rallies alive.”
Rodriguez and Owens took over in that final set combining for 12 kills that helped put this contest in the win column.
All three set wins was the same score (25-18) with Fredericksburg hanging tough in each of these sets only needing one point for a tie at the halfway mark with 11-10 Hawk leads.
Way to Plug those Leaks Lake!
It was Sophomore Bella Biasetti who made her presence known entering that first set with a Hawk, 19-18 lead and responded with an ace and then a block and kill from Rodriguez during that rally and win, 25-18.
Coach Villarreal said, “Bella came in and did a fantastic job providing good passes and tough defense, helping keep us in system to run our offense. She brings a gritty, go-getter mentality, playing hard with quick reactions that make a difference for our team.”
Rinse and Repeat in that 2nd stanza ending with that same score and this time closing with a rally coming off of Chylea Gray’s serve that utilized a block for Gabby Fory and an Owens kill.
Another Sophomore Kyle Goff was another one of many players that rose to the occasion on this night, “Kylee Goff brings joy, energy, and fun to the team every day. She works hard to keep everyone engaged, knowing we play our best when we’re focused and having fun together. Her communication, determination, and ability to adjust on both offense and defense make her a key contributor.”
That 3rd set was the only glitch this night with both schools largest lead being 3 points before CLHS coming up just short, 26-28.
Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!!
Another slow start in that 4th frame that had the Visitors score the first 3 points and held a two point advantage, 4-6 before a Hawk 5 point rally off the serve of Sabrina Steele which coincided when Rodriguez lowered the boom scoring 4 of those 5 points off her kills.
With that lead, The Lake, continued their assault to that first opening district victory when Owens scored 4 kills in those last two serves which gave CL a win.
Now next up will be another winnable game when Long Creek comes to the Hawk Nest this Friday and a chance to continue their quest for a post-season to remember!
