Adjustments Give Hawks Authentic, 49-28 Bi-District Win

Canyon Lake beat Pleasanton for a Bi-District Crown after a second half blitz that swallowed up these Eagles, 49-28.

Pleasanton started this battle with a full load of ammunition while amassing right at 400 yards of offense during those first two quarters.

A first play 82 yard run would make a statement for this Eagle team that they came to compete.

After a Hawk first drive three play and punt sequence put Pleasanton with a chance for another score but a fumble recovery for Derek Dunlap turned the table back to The Lake and a three play drive and score on a tush-push for Carson Walker tied the at 7 all.

Pleasanton was not being pleasant to CL when they too, took just three plays and scored on a 68 yard pass play that started a rinse and repeat for both schools.

Likewise it was a Hawk 4 play drive that capped off a Peyton King score on a 40 yard pass from Jace Wheeler that tied the score with over 5 minutes still left for that first stanza of play.

With a lull in the action until late in that second quarter when an Eagle 5 play drive used two pass plays with a first completion going 64 yards and then followed with a perfect 25 yard screen pass for a score.

The Lake did respond with a 52 yard bomb to King with 2 minutes still to go in that first half….but the Hawks left to much time on the clock as these lethal Eagles scored once more and took a, 28-21 lead into halftime.

Before this game, The ReSporter found that an artist at Authentic Canyon Lake’s Store had learned her trade from her Aunt who had to use a crayon to do her work since that was during hard times back in the day.

Then by watching other vendors who had needle point work that was a very detailed craft had very intricate work….

The point of this information shows the difference in that first half and what The Lake would be able to pull off for those last two quarters.

In a nut-shell it has happened several times this year where a second half of adjustments have paid dividends and this battle would show off just how The Lake’s Coaching staff has been able to turn a Crayon art work into a much better finished product.

The Lake would hold Pleasanton for a total of 54 yards of offense and 30 of those yards being were on the Eagles final drive before CLake ended this game with an interception by Peyton Vann and a Hawk Victory Formation.

The Lake’s Offensive Line once again stood tall in this win that kept QB Wheeler’s jersey high and dry while opening holes for Freshman Isaac Torres who finished with 163 yards and two touchdowns.

It would be a 28-0 second half for the good guys which now has this team looking to conquer another hurdle in making past this Area Round.

Quarterback Wheeler along with CL’s other offensive weapons continue to average right at 51 points per game and add those halftime adjustments continue The Lake’s 7 game winning streak.

Canyon Lake will be battling the Calhoun Sandcrabs this coming Friday at La Grange with a 7pm kick-off.

An ending to a beautiful tapestry of work after halftime adjustments that would make Authentic Canyon Lake’s Vendors amazed at this work of art.

Way to GO LAKE!
