Fullback Rolando Maronge helped in dispatching the Badgers finding Gold
The Canyon Lake Gold team that is mixed full of sophomores and freshman struck Gold by winning Thursdays game against the Lampasas Badgers, 22-0.
The CL Gold team started the game on offense and probably because of the long bus rides being still asleep as their first offensive series ended up with -3 yards and an interception on the Hawks own 41 yard.
As the Badgers took the field and moved down field for 29 yards, they had a holding call but 19 yards later it appeared it would pay off until Linebacker Charles Madzy for CL stepped up and sacked the Badgers for a 5 yard loss igniting a sleeping giant and turning away the Badgers from a score.
The Hawks got the ball on a turnover of downs and never looked back.
The Hawks first two runs from the line of scrimmage totaled 52 yards and after a holding call Johnny Soliz took the pig skin home from 17 yards out for the first score for Canyon Lake.
After this point the meager Badger offense had six possessions and averaged 18.5 yards per possession with six first downs totaling 111 yards for the night.

Coach Kim Paisley giving instructions for a serve
The ReSporter: You went primary with the 5-1 offense in Navarro. You mentioned last week that you would do this against teams like Navarro. Why is that?
Coach Paisley: “I ran a 5-1 offense all 3 sets of Navarro match because the 5-1 offense is more fluid and consistent offensively. Our hitters are connecting more.”
The ReSporter: “We also noticed you started the match with a kill from Emma Gray with a set to the outside…it seemed to make a statement. Was that a special play or are you implementing for offensive sets with that play as an option?”
Coach Paisley: “That set is part of our serve receive and it is a “special” play!” Read the rest here »

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, congratulations on the win last week. Could you tell us how the practices have gone this week after that win over Wimberley?
Coach Drum: “There has been a lot more enthusiasm and you can tell the difference the way they start each day. It was like being paid for all the hard work you have done and they finally got the fruits from all that hard labor.”
The ReSporter: That had to be one of the largest crowds in Hawk history.
Coach Drum: “Yeah, our stadium holds 6000 and the last time I saw the stands like that was 5 years ago when we were playing Wimberley and we were both undefeated.”
The ReSporter: That game had to be a confidence builder for the team, especially Ben Fulton after the first half had all the negative things happening.
Coach Drum: “We talked at halftime to just settle down and he (Fulton) shoulders a lot of blame but our offense has so many other parts that are not based on the quarterback and so we just decided to have a safe pass to start the second half.” Read the rest here »
