Bracken Christian won their final game of the regular season over Victoria Faith Cougars, qualifying for the playoffs, 59-0.
The Warriors went into their final home and regular season contest needing a win for a chance of playing win or go home games and passed that test with flying colors in this battle.
“I think we’ve made great strives forward,” Head Coach Hosea Hedric stated. “I believe we as a team have learned from each other, so the trust we have grown to have in each other is really cool.”
BCS started this game with a fumble on their first drive as Cristian DeLeion took an end around hand off to the goal line but fumbled on his fall that had Reese, on the spot, Smith there to recover the fumble in the end zone.

Did You Know This?
Canyon Lake’s loss last Friday against Taylor had situations that if you had told the ReSporter would happen, then a win would have been predicted.
Case in point:
There was not one 4th down conversion tried in the game.
The Hawks have made a conscious effort to continue a drive at all costs. This has happened on multiple situations this campaign. In Friday night’s game there were a few times when a 4th down had a result of a punt (2 times) or a field goal (1 time).
Since that did not come about, then it would tell the you that the offense was working well enough that a conversion was not needed.

Canyon Lake will need to use mirrors in their next game with the Taylor Ducks as they once again took a win home after a Hawk 17 point lead during the first half that was decimated in the 2nd quarter and an eventual Duck win, 50-44.
“We knew they would be good,” Head Coach Charley Drum said after the game. “We came out ready to play but it is a new season now.”
CL finished their regular season with 7 wins while finishing 2nd in District 14-4A with a date next week against Liberty Hill.

Canyon Lake lost to a worthy opponent in the 2nd round of their Volleyball Area Game in Smithville succumbing to a Needville sweep, 26-28, 16-25 and 18-25.
“We had a few more weak spots than they did,” Head Coach Kimberley Paisley quipped. “They are ranked for a reason….but overall we had a great and wonderful season.”
This sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays left the Hawks with a 26-13 record and some proud players on a good season.
That first set was worth the price of admission as Canyon Lake was on, while having two set points for a chance of a win that just escaped the Hawk’s grasp.

Volleyball | Comments Off on Hawks Beat Wimberley in Volleyball Bi-District Match, 3-0

Zoe Edwards favorite moment: ‘Team bonding at the Mickey house.
Canyon Lake will have another successful year no matter the result of this year’s Tuesday game in their first round against Wimberley in Johnson City.
This group of Seniors have been with Coach Kimberley Paisley for the first 4 years and with that has come a certain bond with the players and their coach.
These Seniors even had one of their own start her high school career on the varsity 4 years ago as Regan Mickey had already shown the tools that Coach Paisley knew that was needed in getting this team to the playoffs.
Now for the last 3 years, the Seniors will enter the playoffs in all of those years as Mickey was also a part of the last team to not win the required number of district games to qualify in 2013.

Landry Hollums favorite Moment: ‘Beating Tivy at the NEISD tourney.
That year did start with some quality wins as the Hawks went into that year of district games with a decent, 16-10 record.
Those district games took a toll on CL as they were able to win just one game against Bandera that certainly would leave a bad taste and a good dose of humbleness as preparation would start early for rectifying that finish.
Canyon Lake has not turned in their uniform after the regular season since that year as the Hawks have now supported a balmy, 88-32 record and a turn-a-round district record of, 27-5 showing. This is an 85% winning percentage for the games that count.

Regan Mickey: “Our rowdy student section during the Vball games.’
Those previous 3 years was not something you would write home about as CL had a 45-69 record during those years and even worse district ledger of 5-27.
So from 5-27 to a 27-5, this Senior group has helped turn a program to the positive and will now start their next set of games with those win or go home consequences.

Felicity Niestemski: ‘Senior Night!’
In the last three campaigns the Hawks have beaten 5A schools 16 times with only 5 losses. Canyon Lake has a winning record against 6A programs with a 17-13 tally during that same time period.
Unbeatable Wimberley has a 3 game losing streak to Canyon Lake with the Hawks having a chance of increasing that to 4 games this Tuesday.
There are so many good things coming from the Volleyball teams as Junior Varsity and Freshman had successful years as well.

Daniella Bustamante: ‘Beating Wimberley’!
These are good times as Canyon Lake will now implore the Hawk Nation to show on Tuesday night and help support elevate their game with a joyous return home.
The game this Tuesday will be covered by Canyon Lake Broadcasting and the broadcast start time at 7:15pm.
Go Hawks and Congratulations to this Year’s Senior Class!! Now go beat the Texans!!

Kaylie Duke: ‘Playing at a higher level and competing at the NEISD Tournament.’

Sam York: ‘Bus rides and pre/game in the locker room.’
