Catching Up With Offensive Coordinator Bill Greene

        Canyon Lake players getting a rest during a hot 2nd Scrimmage in Elgin. Go Hawks!!

The Hawks will be entering their 16th season on the road across the Devil’s Backbone and playing a state ranked Wimberley Texan opponent.

The ReSporter had a chance to catch up with Offensive Coordinator Bill Greene to get a feel for what will be in store this season.

Coach Greene will be starting his 3rd year in this capacity and below is an idea of how these last two campaigns compared.

              2021    All-Time Rank   2022     All-Time Rank
Total Yards  390.9        5th         416.3        3rd
Rushing      340.5        2nd         314.4        3rd
Passing       50.4       11th         101.7        5th

                         Let’s GO HAWKS!!

Take into account that Coach Greene was handicapped battling Covid two years ago which led to a slower start in that season. It resulted in a more run oriented game plan.

Last year CL’s offense had the most average passing yardage since the Hawk’s adopted a run oriented Slot-T.

On thoughts as The Lake prepares for Wimberley, “We are not young but we are inexperienced,” Coach Greene assessed.

“We got more confident but we still need to be faster with our plays that we are running,” Greene stated when asked what he saw between those two scrimmages.

Canyon Lake has lost some experienced depth which was in abundance but will hopefully have a continued improvement type of scenario, as The Lake, prepares for district in 6 weeks.

“We will be working on how we manage and minimize the work load for many of our players so we are not overworking them,” Coach Greene continued.

                              Go Hawks!!

“We’re excited… we think we are in a really good place, we obviously grew a lot from that first scrimmage to the second scrimmage,” Coach Greene said when asked about where the Hawks are, going into their first contest. “We had a lot of opportunities to spread the ball around and we’ve got to play a lot of players…. and our line progressed a lot. We have a tough opponent but I feel we have a good game plan for both sides of the ball.and it should lead for a fun night.”

Canyon Lake was fortunate in scheduling Cuero in their first scrimmage and that might help for this group to play a team which will seem very similar to the Texans.

“Cuero and Wimberley’s defensive lines both want to penetrate to cut off our guards and we got a taste of that in the scrimmage with the Gobblers and now we really are working to get our head across which we usually warn our kids bout that, when we are coming into the Wimberley,  but now they have seen it live and Cuero did some very similar things with what Wimberley is going to do,” Coach Greene closed.

         Go Hawks & Fly High this year!!

These Texans have had the Hawks number and have held The Lake to a, 12 points per game average, during these past 4 years. That simply shows that this school is not afraid to face a slot-t opponent.

CL’s all-time scoring average is 17 points playing Wimberley and Canyon Lake has usually shown some first game doldrums scoring  15 points all-time when opening the season. Getting out of the gate fast has not computed but that 2nd week The Lake has averaged 31 points and a 10-4 record.

Tough game & tough opponent and a chance to change the narrative.

Let’s Go Hawks1!
