Canyon Lake vs Medina Valley Panthers
Canyon Lake Football served up a big glass TD’s to the Panthers.
Defensive Back Jesse Andrade had an Interception in game with Medina Valley
The second and final scrimmage of the 2105 Hawk football season got under way this past Thursday at 5pm in Castroville as the 5-A Medina Valley Panthers took on the 4-A Canyon Lake Hawks on a breezy and cooler than expected night for high school football in August.
When this night was over and was all said and done, the Panthers were glad to see the Hawks leave.
The evening started with a scrimmage format, having the field split into two with each team starting on their 45 yard line in opposite directions with a 30 minute continuous running clock.
The idea with the running clock was to get as many plays as possible during that time frame.
The Junior Varsity started on defense and while the freshman started on offense to begin the evening and it wasn’t long before both Hawk teams had scored.
The JV’s defensive CB Jesse Andrade cut in front of a Panther wide receiver in the flats and picked off the pass at full speed and had more open real-estate in front of him than what Donald Trump owns.
“I just covered my area like coaches had been teaching us all month and closed the distance with the receiver as fast as I could and cut him off and grabbed the ball” said Andrade.
There wasn’t a Panther around for fifteen yards in any direction as the whistle blew to end the play.

Hawks with a Block Party in Tex-Fest Tourney
Canyon Lake beat the Lockhart Lions on Tuesday night in a 3 game sweep as they will begin a 3 day NEISD Tournament starting this Thursday.
The Hawks had some good news as the injury to Addison Farley might not be as bad as first thought and an earlier return possible.
CL did take care of business against Lockhart as the Hawks improved their record to 7-2 with the sweep, 25-14, 25-11, and 25-23.
Canyon Lake ended the first game with an 8-2 run with their 11 point win when Hannah Wunderlich finished the Lions off with a kill and serving ace.

Canyon Lake is digging their 6-2 start to this season
This Week @ Canyon Lake
The Hawks had a decent week with a 3rd place finish in Volleyball, finishing, 6-2 for the week.
CL fashioned a 6 game winning streak during the Tex-Fest Wimberley tournament after missing by one game for a chance of playing for the championship game.
Canyon Lake will be waiting to see what the prognosis for Senior Outside Hitter, Addison Farley, who turned her ankle right before the Semifinal game with Peaster was about to start.
With that loss, Canyon Lake had to revamp their line-up and just could not muster enough to take that match.

Hawks hold their own in scrimmage with Gonzales last Friday at Hawk Stadium.
Canyon Lake will be using younger players when the season starts in two weeks and that was certainly noted in the Friday scrimmage.
Chris Schultz and Matthew O’Connell ready go dish out some pain
“I was pleased on how our scrimmage went,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We were wide eyed and I thought we matched them punch for punch.”
With the youth age upon the Hawks being wide eyed is certainly something that might have been expected as Canyon Lake suited up some players that were waiting another 2 weeks last season as 8th graders to find their jersey number.
A well oiled machine will not be expected at this time of year as the Hawks also search for a quarterback and two running backs lost in last year’s senior class.
Between those players lost, Canyon Lake, will need to replace 74% of their rushing yards and a whopping 86% of yards gained by the forward pass.

With a 16-13 lead, Faith Hasness service was able to expand the lead to, 21-14 with two kills from Addison Farley, a block with Emma Gray, and a Hasness ace along with good passing.

Senior Outside Hitter Addison Farley getting her point across
CL Hawks have a 4 game winning streak after taking all three games opening Friday at Wimberley’s Tex-Fest Tournament.
Canyon Lake did not lose a game on Friday as they won both games in a 3 game series against Ingram, Hardin, and St. Andrew schools.
The duo of Addison Farley and Bailey Drum were instrumental in the onslaught as Farley finished the day with 20 kills while Drum accumulated 17.
The Hawks used several different lineups as the first week of games had Head Coach Kim Paisley moving the players around as a master in a chess match.
“We are just giving opportunities and trying to see what works with the girls in different spots,” Coach Paisley said. “It is still early and we are just in our fist week of games.”

Hawks are 16 days away from suiting up
Canyon Lake is busily working each day for their first scrimmage this coming Friday at Hawk Stadium and from all indications the practices are going well.
The Hawks will be a young team this season, but conversely, that younger group of players have a lot of talent or that proverbial word……potential.
The ReSporter had a series of Hurdle articles this Summer and will be bumping them back to the front page as we get closer to the start of the season.
Those slow starts was the first of those series and that next hurdle article will be bumped up today.

Canyon Lake Volleyball starts season with a win over Liberty Hill after losing their first match to Clemens.
The Hawks rebounded quickly in their games with Liberty Hill as they jumped out to a 14-9 lead and increased it to a 7 point win.
In the second game, CL took advantage of Panther’s unforced errors for an easy 12 point victory and momentum going into their best of 5 third game.
The 3rd game had LH with a 14-12 lead, but the Hawks outscored the Panthers 13-6 to close out that final game.
Canyon Lake had close games with Clemens, but just could not mount any rallies to help put one of their first two games away.
“It was good we played them close,” Head Coach Kim Paisley started. “We had to work for every point and they (Clemens) came out to play with enthusiasm and they were just outdoing us at the net.”
The first two games could have gone either way as the Hawks fought back in that first game to take their first lead, 22-21 as CL was behind as much as 5 points during this contest.
CL started with the lead, 10-6, in the second game but it was short lived as Clemens answered that Hawk rally and lead throughout that second game after they wrestled away the Hawks lead.
Clemens and Canyon Lake was a nip and tuck match, as the lead never got more than 2 points as each team battled to the finish line.
The Hawks are loaded, with their largest class of Seniors in a while, as this group of players has been instrumental in bringing Canyon Lake back to the playoffs with their 2nd place district finish last season.
The ReSporter had a chance to catch this group of seniors after their win over Liberty Hill.
The ReSporter: You have had a lot of success throughout the years, how do you plan of making this year work?
Bailey Drum: “We are very close and Emma (Gray) will fit in great!”
The ReSporter: Drum was talking about newcomer Senior Emma Gray playing as the middle blocker.
Hannah Wunderlich: “We have all grown physically and mentally with our skills and now we are ready to go more rounds in the playoffs as well having a better record than last year.”
The ReSporter: What is it like to be here for your first year as a Senior?
Emma Gray: “It is hard to get the chemistry but this has not been that bad….I love the middle blocker and that is my favorite position.”
The ReSporter: It is a good fit when one of the main positions lost from last year’s group of seniors was losing Lillie Sander the middle blocker and now you get to fill that role right off the bat.
Alexis Robinson: “That was what we needed, Emma (Gray) will fill in nicely for us.”
The Resporter: What has Coach Paisley done to help you have the right mental strategy for your games?
Addison Farley: “She does not like to lose and that helps us to want to win and do better than last year’s team.”
Bailey Drum: “It started last year and it is how she teaches us to take each game.”
The ReSporter: Good luck girls and The ReSporter looks forward to following you this season! Go Hawks!!
