Hawks Parts Red Sea in Win over Bandera, 37-28

Canyon Lake got back on track as the Hawks evened their district record after beating Bandera, 37-28.

“That kick-off return switched the momentum in the game tonight,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We like to be balanced in every game with our running backs…but we will take our positives and just get better at our tackling for next week.”

It all started after a Bandera touchdown on an interception early in the first quarter.

Matt Adams then fielded the kick and it seemed as if the Red Sea had parted and Adams was the chosen one to take the ball 89 yards to the end zone and help CL take the lead it would not relinquish, 7-6.

“It was surreal,” Adams said while commenting on what it felt like running through to daylight. “Coach Troy Moses said we would return a kick-off tonight. I just tucked the ball and started running as fast as I could, then I heard the commentator talking as I got to the goal line.”

Think about it, you had Coach ‘Moses’ telling the team a kick-off would be returned and the Bandera players parted like it was the Red Sea.

This win was Biblical in many ways.

Three interceptions matched the total for this year when two of those picks came from players that had been told what to do during halftime adjustments from Coach Bret Hodges.

BCS Runs Out of Ammunition in Loss to Castle Hills, 60-13

Bracken has tough game with SA Castle Hills

Bracken has tough game with SA Castle Hills

Bracken Christian is in a survival stage of the season as more players were lost to injury in their loss to SA Castle Hills, 60-13.

The Warriors were matching The Hills during the first part of the game when an apparent touchdown pass was overruled for an interceptions which would have given BCS a touchdown lead during that first quarter.

Castle Hills responded with a one play 79 yard run and from their the Warriors would play catch up.

Bracken would drive again on their next possession and score on a Noah Boriack pass to Freshman Christian DeLeon, which would bring the score to 15-13 deficit.

Boriack started the scoring for BCS when he took his first play from scrimmage for 65 yard run, but there would not be many fireworks for the rest of this game as this Warrior team ran out of ammunition.

Castle Hills has a reason for being the Defending State Champion on this night as they have approximately 29 boys in their high school and this team dressed 19 players which would give them the advantage as Warriors would fall out of the lineup as this game progressed.

MV 7th B Team Comes up Short in Loss, 20-6 to Liberty Hill

Mountain Valley 7th B club won the clock battle but was left short on their quest for a win over Liberty Hill losing, 20-6.

Running back Ramirez for Liberty Hill had two runs for 27 and 28 yards for touchdowns in that first half would help the Panthers claim their lead.

Mountain Valley did respond with their opening drive of the second half when they drove 50 yards on nine play drive.

The drive was highlighted with a run from Chase McCutchen for 27 yards that help the Hawks to finish off with a touchdown when Brandon Robinson ran the ball in from one yard out on a fourth down play.

This drive almost took the whole third quarter and with one defensive stop another chance for a score with a chance to tie the game.

MV Hawks 7A Squad Has Pancake Sale in Win over LH, 8-0

Mountain Valley 7th A team did not waste any time in their win over Liberty Hill, last Thursday night at the Hawk Stadium winning, 8-0.

An opening drive for 85 yards with 19 plays while converting three fourth downs was all it took to take the sails from this Panther team.

Ethan Slater ran the last four yards on that first drive and for all they knew at the time, a win, with that touchdown.

MV did not let Liberty Hill have the ball until there was just 1:28 left on the second quarter clock.

No, the drive did not last that long but the Hawks executed an on-side kick twice in this game and that allowed the visitors just five plays from scrimmage in that first half.

It was a three for one evening as MV had 39 plays to Liberty Hill’s 13 and a 21 to 7 minute advantage on the game clock.

Hawk’s Freshman Take Best Rides in Win over Bandera, 42-0

Canyon Lake's Freshman squad taking it all in after, 42-0 win over Bandera

Canyon Lake’s Freshman squad taking it all in after, 42-0 win over Bandera

Canyon Lake unleashed a secret weapon on Bandera which happened to be an undercover player that at one time lived in Bandera and is now a member of Hawk’s Freshman class.

Tanner Faris (the Bandera transfer student) brought everything to this game but a Faris Wheel as he spun the Bulldogs all around the field with runs, catches, interceptions, you name it he was part of the action.

“We wanted to have him (Faris) have more chances to play against his buddies,” Coach Greene said. “He scored when he busted his route and then came open.”

Coach Greene was speaking of the 68 yard pass and catch Faris had early in this game.

This carnival had the vendors going home empty handed as Canyon Lake won everything on this midway.

The Hawks had the ball six times and scored on every possession and where they started with the ball did not matter.

“We like to spread it out and get everyone a chance to score,” Head Freshman Coach Bill Greene started. “We have good skill people.”

With 60 yards of penalties the Hawks were able to get 60 more yards of offense. That is called domination.

Explosive plays are identified with plays that have 10 yards or more made on any given play.

This game had the Hawks with 21 total offensive snaps and 10 of those plays had more than 10 yards and two of those plays were cut short because the runners yardage ceased to count since that player had passed the goal line for a score.

Oh yeah, that 68 yard pass play? It was the wrong route that was executed….result? Touchdown.

Defensively, Canyon Lake gave up eight first downs but four of those first downs was a result of a Hawk penalty.

Pre/Game: Bandera @ Canyon Lake

Sealing  blocks paves the way for Robert Woods

Pre/Game:            Bandera                @       Canyon Lake           October 17, 2014      7:30pm
                        Bulldogs (3-2)                Hawks (2-4)

 History: CL Hawks have a 4-0 record with Bandera.
 2010   Hawks  35   Bandera  06
 2011   Hawks  55   Bandera  33
 2012   Hawks  42   Bandera  07
 2013   Hawks  27   Bandera  06

 This Year's Game Results:
 Hawks  07   Blanco        35     Bandera  21   SA Sam Houston   15
 Hawks  43   Smithville    14     Bandera  40   Ingram Moore     07
 Hawks  38   Marion        06     Bandera  00   SA Christian     28
 Hawks  27   Wimberley     28     Bandera  28   Comfort          22
 Hawks  14   Lampasas      21     Bandera  14   Fredericksburg   21
 Hawks  14   Liberty Hill  19

There are not many teams that Canyon Lake can claim they have scoreboard in all of their games with.

Bandera is, at the moment, one of those teams as your Hawks have scored the most points and also have held Bandera to their best defensive output twice, allowing 6 points in two games.

Only one year did this Bulldog team have a break out with their offense and ironically it was a campaign that Canyon Lake still has flashbacks on how close they were to the playoffs.

The Hawks were just trying to score and get as many players on the field as they could.

Players to watch for Bandera? The ReSporter feels that Noah Nelson has been playing for the Bulldogs for the last 10 years.

This young man has had a very good year in the receiving department with 15 catches for 250 yards. Add four touchdowns and a 17 yard average per catch will give the Hawks defensive backs some much needed business.

CL has faced a running team these past two games and now will be a chance for this unit to step it up.

Another receiver with some impressive numbers is Averie Mansfield with just seven receptions but his 175 yards and 25 yards per catch average will certainly get some attention also.

Alex Willoughby-Gonzales is the Bulldogs leading rusher with 279 yards and over five yards per carry and this player will also come out of the backfield as he has six caught passes and has accounted for 52 yards.

Landon Ventura is another player The ReSporter thinks has been going to school way too long as he will also be a featured back with 61 carries this year and only trailing by 28 yards of being their leading rusher.

Joe Rodriquez is the play caller for Bandera, who has completed 58% of his passes and has 663 yards through the air with eight touchdowns.

Rodriguez does have 50 yards rushing so he could do some damage if he needs to escape trouble in the backfield.

Defensively, Bandera has been up and down as their competition has not been teams to strike fear in a team.

Fredericksburg had a good rushing game against Bandera and that could be good news for Canyon Lake since, ready for this….the Hawks like to run.

Canyon Lake has also shown they also can pass and QB Skyler Tschoepe has been making those passes count when needed.

A running team that can make noise passing will give a defensive coordinator nightmares.

Canyon Lake will try to induce some nightmares on these ‘Dogs and see if they can get them to bark while they are sleeping as they hope in trying to catch one of those many Hawk runners.

Go Hawks!!

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields

The ReSporter: You have another top team coming to Bracken this Friday.

Coach Fields: “Yeah, they are the defending State Champion and we have everything to gain and nothing to lose….we just need to go and play football.”

The ReSporter: Facing Austin Veritas and Castle Hills gives you a perspective on two of the premier teams in your division…

Coach Fields: “I would pay to see the game between those two school’s game. I would say that Veritas just has more weapons….Castle Hills is very talented but their supporting cast is just not as strong as what I have seen in the Veritas team.”

The ReSporter: So, tell us what Bracken will need to do in the game Friday night with Castle Hills?
