Hawk Nation – Too Hawk to Trot 5K
Hawks having one more talk before this night is through in win over Ducks, 41-14
Canyon Lake Freshman remain undefeated after calling the Ducks out for one more hunt, winning 41-14.
“There is not enough balls to go around,” Head Freshman Coach Bill Greene said when responding to the depth of this team’s running backs. “We want to get this group of players to do anything they can to succeed and stay away from losing.”
This group of players have not been on the losing ledger for a while now and Coach Greene certainly has a chance of finishing the year with a team that would not have to remember what a bad taste you can get with a loss.
The Hawks had a good season as they are one more game away from doing a fete not yet accomplished for the Canyon Lake community in finishing this season by continuing their untouchable persona.
CL had their Junior Varsity finish undefeated back during the 2010 season which has been that one campaign where that team took care of their whole slate of games.

Canyon Lake and Taylor Ducks will be battling for sole position as the 2nd place team in District 14-4A-I.
Both schools have a 2-1 record with just two remaining games after the contest on Friday.
The Hawks are on a two game winning streak after their opening district loss to Liberty Hill and will want to continue with that momentum.
What we know about the Ducks is that they have an offense that is number 1 in the district while their defense comes in last.
CL had a game like that this year when they played in Marion. That was a game where Canyon Lake’s offense was humming but the defense could not get a stop and ended up losing the game, 55-50.
So, in a nutshell, the Hawks will need to ratchet up the defense in get stops in order to take control of this game.
Good news? The Ducks rushing defense has allowed 285 yards per game and if CL can have some sustaining drives then that would reduce the number of stops for the defense.
There will be Ducks flying all over the field on offense as Jarrell Crittendon has an incredible 12 yards per carry and has accumulated 905 yards on the ground.
Another Duck runner that will be dangerous is Delane Hornsby who has a respectable 9 yards per tote.
Quarterback Terrell Reynolds leads the district with 1643 passing yards as he has thrown for 18 touchdowns with just 4 interceptions.
There will be 4 more Ducks flying around for receptions as Caleb Cooper leads the team and district with 41 catches for 324 yards. As this receiver will be one of Taylor’s, move the chains, player.
All the other Ducks have a 10 yards or longer average per catch. Malik Jackson, 32 catches for 739 yards, Xavier Washington, 32 catches for 321 yards, and Austin Garcia has 24 receptions with 289 yards of real estate.
Canyon Lake will have their hands full this Friday against a Duck team that likes to fly.
The question is how many Ducks can the Hawks run into the ground. Turnovers and controlling the clock will let you know who the winner could be on Friday at the Hawk Stadium.
Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake’s Boy’s Cross Country team will be off to the races this week at they will embark on their second year of running the Regional race after finishing in 3rd place last week in Sequin.
“As a whole, everyone is running better but so is the district,” Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallagher started. “We knew we had to step up our game this year.”
Graduate Nash Opperman led the crew last year for the first opportunity to cash in on qualifying in last year’s district meet. Opperman is now running in Schreiber at Kerrville after the successful season.
“We had boy’s finish ahead of Nash’s (Opperman) time last year and they did not even place in this meet,” Coach Gallagher said in amazement. “So we have accomplished more as a team this year.”
CL Hawk Band Adding to the Football Drama each Friday Night
Canyon Lake won their second game in a row in district play keeping the Hawks in second place after win over Fredericksburg, 17-6.
“We talked and knew this game would be a struggle,” Head Coach Charley Drum stated. “We got the lead and they (the Billies) just could not get any consistency offensively.”
“We just kept chopping wood,” Coach Drum said. “We made the plays and we just stepped up on that drive.”
This game was a defensive affair as each team had 5 possessions in that first half and that last drive for CL would be huge.
The Hawks took advantage with their final time on offense in the half, when second string QB Jackson Neel, found Austin Brennan on a 37 yard pass pitting the ball on the Billies 3 yard line.
Troy Eyster and Noah Du Menial are all smiles after Blurring the Billies and both moving up to MVMS A Team
The Mountain Valley 7th A Squad was all over Fredericksburg like read is over a book, 32-0.
This game was all MV Hawks as both the defense and offense control the line of scrimmage with a shut out and almost 300 yards of offense as this Billie team would need to explain all of those brands left on their back side when the got home.
Enter, Running Back Troy Eyster, who could have scored twice on each of his runs as he lapped the Billies with each carry.
Try this on for size: Runs for Eyster would consist of yardage of 13, 30, 27, and 25 yard touchdown to run out the clock.
Actually Eyster was so fast he really did run out the clock as their was still :35 seconds left on this running clock when he scored and no more plays needed as the running clock was kept on in trying to catch this runner.
“We were focused in practice this week,” Eyster batted an eye. “The offensive line is great and they always make holes for me to run through this week and we will got ready after last week’s loss.”
Has The ReSporter mentioned that Eyster is fast yet?
