Sophomore Regan Mickey is setting the stage for Senior Lillie Sander
The Canyon Lake Hawk’s Volleyball team will be returning home this Tuesday when they play Smithville.
Canyon Lake has reeled off 12 wins thus far and being just two weeks into their season they have averaged 1.2 games per day.
Two tournaments, in Wimberley and Bastrop, helped in adding to that total. The Hawks will end their tournament tour this weekend when they travel to San Marcos.
The Hawks best win was against Navarro in Wimberley’s tournament and worst loss might have been in their last game at Bastrop when they faced Thrall, a 2A team for that Championship game in the Silver Bracket.

Bracken Christian ended their preseason scrimmages on a ‘blahhhh’ note as the Warriors went
Senior Coy Zunker
through the motions in a game with San Antonio New Life.
Both teams were short on having companions for their head coach on the sideline as New Life dressed 7 players while BCS could only muster two more.
New Life started their first series with a 60 yard run that helped up the ante for Bracken to get a game face on.
That would be New Life’s final score of the game.
“We only had 15 offensive plays and scored on four of them,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields started. “To play on this level (High School), the younger players will have to get better and we have three days to get there.”

Canyon Lake last pre season scrimmage was staged on a Thursday in front of a home crowd that had a chance to grasp what type of entertainment will be performed starting next Friday in Blanco.
Serious Junior Robert Woods
Medina Valley was our guest this Thursday evening and from a Varsity stand point both teams seemed pretty even as these two clubs finished their battle with two live 12 minute quarters.
Canyon Lake won that part of scrimmage with a 7-0 score after scoring in the second quarter when Senior Josh DeVries broke a 45 yard run around the right end helping set up a score four plays later moving16 yards.

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball Team now possess a 7-2 record after taking care of Lockhart in three games last Tuesday night in Lion Country.
Senior Mariah Ellis
The match started with Lockhart scoring their first three points, but that would be their last multiple point outburst for that game, as the Hawks systematically finished off these Lions and their den, 25-12.
In the next two games, CL played multiple lineups while giving their deep bench some game action in winning the next two games, 25-17 and 25-20.

Bailey Drum making a Point.
Canyon Lake finished in 2nd Place in the Tex Fest Tourney. The Hawks won their first two games before meeting a tough Kerrville Tivy team and bowing in defeat in that championship match.
First Place was not possible, but this Hawk club had several other Firsts on this weekend.
First time they were able to compete in the Gold Bracket.
First time they have had a 6 game winning streak in their history with 5 game winning streak being reached 3 times previously during the 2013, 2012 and 2009 season.

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum.
The ReSporter: Hey Coach, what are your overall thoughts after the first scrimmage against Gonzales?
Head Coach Charley Drum
Coach Drum: “I thought we responded well to adversity, our offense did not start well and then they scored on their first play. We had an open 12 minute quarter and our offense took the ball for a score while taking 11 minutes off the clock. Then our defense held them to a 3 and out series. I don’t think they will be wanting to scrimmage us again since we did not give them much time to work.
I like how our kids responded and showed mental toughness early in this season.”
The ReSporter: Did you find out anything about your defensive backs and other players?
Coach Drum: “Well, we came out of the game healthy and we tackled well. We had some players that got some separation. All of our defensive line tackled well for a first scrimmage.”
The ReSporter: What will you be working on as you get ready for next week’s scrimmage on Thursday? Read the rest here »
Bracken Christian results from their Mystery Tour are in with a resounding scrimmage in Prairie Lea yesterday.
Warriors taking a break during practice.
In Coach Lloyd Fields talk earlier this week, he had mentioned that this year’s team is a mystery without knowing how some players would react.
Well, scoring 11 times and only giving up three touchdowns would be considered a successful day of work.
Granted, this group of teams will not be carrying any banners in a Parade this year, but when you are on a mystery tour yourself, then surviving and playing well would be a good barometer.

Behemoths: Jonathan McGuire, Austin Kahil, Tristan Woodruff and Gordon McCleary
The ReSporter will always try to get their first article on the Offensive Line for many reasons.
They are bigger than The ReSporter and you always want to be sure they are happy. Another reason is simple, your offense and defensive lines will be that main ingredient for having a good team.
Winning a battle in the trenches will dictate how the opponents will run their offense and defense. Winning this battle will usually result in a win.
This year, The ReSporter wants to start with the strong side of the offensive line. Being the second year with a Slot-T offense, this line will usually take on a lot of responsibilities on blocking for those running backs and hopefully many yards.

Addison Farley defeating Gravity.
CL Hawk Volleyball will go into Saturday games in Wimberley Tournament with a 4-1 record after sweeping through their Pool on Friday.
Lampasas, Hamshire-Fannett, and Uvalde all fell prey to a Hawk team that was only tested in their second game with Uvalde when they finally succumbed those Lobos, 25-20 for a chance of playing in the Gold Bracket.
Canyon Lake was quick and to the point(s) as all three games had their opponent collecting brooms after being swept.
The Hawks are in a groove with players grasping their roles on this team early.
Junior Addison Farley has made her presence known as she deprives gravity with any it’s rules when flying for a kill.
