Canyon Lake JV has now won three more games than they accumulated last season and the good news is the ease of how they are dominating their opponents.

Marion Bulldogs was that team on the short end for this night to the tune of, 47-0.

Defense was at full throttle for this game as Kenneth Jowers planted the Bulldog’s QB in their end zone for a two point lead on the safety.

“We were getting pumped up in the bus coming over here,” Jowers said. “We were ready to play because of how we stared last week.”

So Marion started the first series with -10 yards and ended the game improving on that number gaining two yards.

Impressive is not even a phrase that could do this game (justice).

Canyon Lake also had five Freshman that were moved up to play with the JV and speaking of Luke (Justis), he touched the ball twice.

One by receiving, catching a 26 yard pass from QB Brandon Courtney. Another by the run when he took his only carry of the game to the house from 17 yards out.

Austin Brennan helped the cause with a 32 yard fumble return as Canyon Lake scored every way possible.

With 322 yards rushing, CLJV had nine players with 11 or more yards with five of those runners having more than 10 yards per carry.

Canyon Lake started the day running out of downs as Marion held the Hawks on a 4th down play at the 10 yard line.

After that set of downs the gates had been opened and their were so many animals coming through that there would not be enough room in the Ark.

Defensively, Elijah Sheffield was one of many, but one set of downs in that second half, Sheffield was responsible for every tackle.

“We went out with more intensity and just stuck with our technique,” Offensive Lineman Sheffield stated. “We just stuck with what we know and on offense, it was our effort and we just have to work to open the hole.”

There was not much difference on which running back would be called on next as each player had a chance to advance the ball.

Tim Romero broke the 100 yard rushing barrier again in this game as his one touchdown run for 40 yards had speed and power breaking open for the score.

The longest play for Marion was a fumble after a completed pass that went nine yards.

There were several players that played both sides of the ball and Sam Spurlock finished the game with some great defensive plays and topped that off running for 43 yards on just four carries.

“We did not know what to expect with this team (Marion),” Spurlock locked in. “We were ready and we took control early.”

On what to expect in next week’s game, “It is a home game and they will be a better team (Wimberley).”

Another back, Anthony Jones topped 52 yards and kept the chains moving on CLJV’s last drive.

“They (the lineman) are the most important players because everything starts with them and they work so hard,” Jones said smartly. “This felt great and this is just like work, if the whole team works together it makes the game go a lot better.”

Canyon Lake will now take on their nemesis from over the Devil’s Backbone this next Thursday at home and for a team that did not win a game last year, this group of players seem to be relishing a chance to continue this snowball they started down the hill.

The ReSporter heard that it would get cooler this week, so now it will become a little easier to keep that snowball from melting.

Go Hawks!!
