Canyon Lake took the Badgers to the cleaners in their Thursday night win, 42-34. As there were many flags flying on this night with both squads totaling 20 penalties which added up to 200 yards.
Lampasas won this penalty battle after finishing with 115 yards of step offs with personal foul infractions out the wazoo.
The Hawks controlled the line of scrimmage which helped with long drives and the special teams were special in this win, stopping a 2 game skid as CL prepares for a 6A team in Austin next Thursday.
“The special teams won this game by giving CL that extra possession,” Head Coach Charlie Drum started. “The offensive line came out and helped control this game and that helped us control the clock and score in the red zone.”

Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley
The ReSporter: You traveled 948 miles in-between your two home dates this season….how do you feel those road games might help as you get into district play?
Coach Paisley: “We have experience for the road games, and we will put that to good use for those district matches on our opponents home court.”
The ReSporter: There was a lot to replace from last year’s group, what are your thoughts going into next week’s game with Boerne?
Coach Paisley: “Boerne is known for their “crowd/student section heckling”. Maybe one of the best in the hill country as far as heckling during a volleyball match. They have been this way since I played in high school. We just have to block them out and focus on our match and our goals for district play. Boerne is going to battle it out and play some good volleyball. We must be ready to play and play our game!”
The ReSporter: What will you be working on this week and into the Boerne game?
Coach Paisley: “Passing and defense is the main skill to work on. We must always be perfecting this skill because we cannot do the rest without a pass.”

Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks
The ReSporter: Fredericksburg had a pretty tough schedule and is coming into district play on an upswing, how do you see your competition and what attribute will need to be emphasized in winning district?
Coach Paisley: “Fredericksburg is going to be tough just like Boerne! They will have big girls at the net. We’ve got to be ready defensively by making sure our blocks are in the right spot and closing so our defense in the back row can do their job. Offensively, we must move the ball around and run quick stuff in order to score.”
The ReSporter: What does or has Regan Mickey meant for your program as she enters her last district competition?
Coach Paisley: “She has been an outstanding member of the team and program. She understands this is her last district season as a Senior in High School. Like all of the seniors, we talked about what will be the legacy they leave behind. “What will be their final days as a High School Volleyball player be?” We regrouped after Tuesday nights match against La Vernia and discussed our goals we set at the beginning of season. We are ready and we believe and will achieve.
The ReSporter: Thanks Coach and enjoy this time off before district season next week.

Bracken Christian is Ready for another Win
Bracken Christian kept a Giddings State School at arms length in their win, 36-32 on Friday night.
The Indians will have a team that could be different every game based on what type of week those young man might have experienced on those previous days leading up to game time.
In other words many of those players will miss a game or two during their 2016 schedule that are not always injury related.

Canyon Lake varsity volleyball headed across The Backbone once again to face the Wimberley Texans, Friday night, that sent the Texans packing for new territory.
In the first match the Lady Hawks stormed the court quickly dispatching the score to a 10-4 lead. Alysha Perez came into the game and immediately spiked her way to bring the score to 11-5. The Texans only had one player with the kind of height usually seen in Wimberley, but she was quickly shut down by Hawk blockers, Anna Bettersworth and Paige Bower.
