Coach Fields: “This will be the first time in a long while that we will have everyone ready and dressed for this week’s game.”

The ReSporter: That is certainly good to hear….what do you know about Conroe?

Coach Fields: “They have a number 15 that is a big boy and he and the team will run right at ya….they will get into some spread but for the most part they are a tight offense.”

The ReSporter: What else is there to know?

Coach Fields: “They are not very fast and they would remind you a lot of Temple team we played in our first game this season.”

The ReSporter: What is a key to this week’s game for Bracken?

Coach Fields: “We need to jump on them early and we can’t afford any turnover’s but if we can get a lead early then we have a chance of winning.” Read the rest here »

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: Tell us where the team is mentally and physically for this week’s game?

Coach Drum: “We are pretty healthy, we have some nicks, but this is probably the best we have been health wise for this season.”

The ReSporter: I know Ian May was hurt last week, what is his status?

Coach Drum: “Ian had a season ending surgery and so he will be our only starter out for this game.”

The ReSporter: Who do you have to take May’s spot in the line?

Coach Drum: “We will probably have Freshman Jacob Foster.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about Waco LaVega.

Coach Drum: “They run a spread offense and they are young and fast….they are faster than Taylor and they have more kids that can move.” Read the rest here »

Lady Hawks Start Basketball with Tough Loss to Lehman, 84-40

The Girl’s Hawk Basketball team started their year off with a tough home loss to Lehman on Tuesday night at the Hawk Gym, 84-40.

Young would be a good way of describing how this season will go and for their first game it was not good playing a Senior loaded team in the Lobos.

Freshman Reagan Heun was the leading scorer with 13 points for the Hawks and Sophomore Mia Riali finished with 9 in a game that was over after the first quarter.

There were some glimpses of good play when Senior Kelsey Ahrens finished with 4 assists on some beautiful passes inside the paint.

The Hawks did finish with 17 points in the fourth quarter which was two more points scored in their first half.

A lot more games to go and see how the maturation of this team jells as the year gets older and some of those injured players come back and give CL some depth.

BCS Have Some Aces Missing in Loss to Cedar Park

Bracken Warriors did not play with a full deck in their loss to Cedar Park Eagles, 60-46 on Friday night.

“We are running out of gas by the fourth quarter and with this being late in the season and with the defections it is making it hard,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “All of our players just get banged up and we just don’t have the bodies to rep ace them on the sidelines.”

BCS has been dealt a deck of cards with some aces missing this year as a lot of players decided to not play this season. That has left this Bracken team trying to stay fresh as each game matures into the second half.

Bracken has scored 312 points in that first half while giving up just 86 points for those same two quarters.

CL Hawks Volleyball Lose to Sealy Tigers

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball season came to a close last Thursday in Smithville when the upstart Sealy Tigers took a bite out of these Hawks, 25-22, 25-22, 27-25.

“This was a tough battle from the very beginning,” Head Coach Kimberley Paisley said. “We did not do a good job of executing and did not go downside well.

The Hawk’s ‘Bucket List’ year has come to a close as this three set match seemed like a five set affair with Sealy looking just better than this Hawk club.

Sealy opened play with a 7-2 lead, when CL had a tying six point serve and tied game at eight all.

Addison Farley was called on on that rally as she responded with four kills to help in bring the Hawks back into the game.

After another mini run by the Tigers, CL could not get closer than two points, when they fought back to a 21-23 score.

This sequence would be the same story same verse for the remainder of the next two sets as CL did find themselves with their biggest lead in the second set, when they raced to an 8-3 lead and matched that lead again when they had an 11-5 lead moments later.

CL Hawks Roll Snake Eyes in Loss to Boerne, 42-35

Like four of the five losses this year by seven or fewer points, the River Boat Gambler Hawks, needed just one touchdown for a win, losing to Boerne, 42-35.

“They (Canyon Lake) played their butts off tonight,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We have to learn to finish ball games…we were playing to win and we needed to make plays and that is something that we need to fix.”

The Hawks were either tied or led throughout this contest except when it mattered most, when the game clock hit 0:00.

 Losses this year with seven or fewer points:
 Wimberley      27-28
 Lampasas       14-21
 Liberty Hill   14-19
 Taylor         31-33
 Boerne         35-42

Mountain Valley 7th and 8th Grade Wins District

Braden Ford showing the way to High School for next year to Running Back Ross Snowden

Mountain Valley 7th and 8th Grade Football teams completed their seasons with District Championships as the Greyhounds could only place in a ‘Dog Run’.

The MVMS 8th Grade started where they left off in their previous match-up with Boerne by applying that suffocating defense while the offense just ran up and down the field like they were Greyhounds.

The ReSporter had too many games on it’s plate on Thursday as the CL Volleyball Playoff game against Sealy took precedence on coverage.

However the following two articles were penned by Coaches Juan Lopez and Brandon Pawelek. Thanks Coaches for helping The ReSporter with these write-ups.

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum.

The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach Charley Drum at CL’s first round Volleyball playoff game with Taylor last Tuesday.

Canyon Lake's Head Coach Charley Drum

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: Hey Coach how has this week’s practices been going in preparation for the Boerne game this week?

Coach Drum: “Going good.”

The ReSporter: What are some things your team will have to focus on going into this game?

Coach Drum: “We have to tackle them…If we allow Dormady (Boerne’s QB) to sit back like a game of 7 on 7, then he is pretty good.”

The ReSporter: Boerne not only had a good quarterback but his number one target is also a great weapon for them.

Coach Drum: “We will try to bracket him, but they have other receivers that will hurt you…they all can catch the ball, we will just need to limit those big plays.”
