Canyon Lake Swimming team’s season is getting wet as this year’s version of athletes gear up for another improving campaign.
“We did well,” Head Coach Lee Willing said. “We had 88% of our students improve on their times at the Round Rock Meet two weeks ago.”
Girls Basketball is knocking on the door as Canyon Lake will be rebuilding this year after losing
Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher
several Seniors from last year’s team.
The ReSporter: Hey Coach Gallagher, how are things looking as you start practices?
Coach MaryBeth Gallagher: “We have had the Volleyball girls for only two practices so we are still working those girls in. But we are in our third week of practice and overall this year will mainly be learning the game on a deeper level because of our young players.”
The ReSporter: What do you feel will be your identity?
Coach Gallagher: “We will impress teams with our defense…that will keep us in the games. Our goal is to continue to teach defense as a team and hard nose and get after them defense.”
The ReSporter: How has your offense been developing?
Coach Gallagher: “We lost a lot of our scorers and will need to teach the offensive side and try to use our speed. We have a lot more speed than we have had in the past and we have some height and some good guards.”

Key Plays in Canyon Lake’s Victory over Boerne
The Hawks had a game that will rank right up there with the Sealy game two years ago in excitement, as CL wrestled and fought for a nine point win last week after being down 22 points with 5:40 left in the third quarter.
There were many highlights and The ReSporter will replay some of those key plays from this victory.
1. After a long Canyon Lake first drive and no points ending with an interception, Boerne was poised to take a 14 point lead.

Bracken Christian was long winded in their game with San Marcos Home School as the Warrior’s scoring plays spanned many yards in this hard fought contest at Bracken Field.
San Marcos Home School (SMHS) had little known facts to help prepare for, “The only scouting we had on this game was a phone call,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.
We may have taken this team lightly,” Coach Fields said matter of fact. “It was very misleading that they were 0-8. This was the first time we had an emotional let down after the OLH game.”
Coach Fields was responding that SMHS had not faced one team with a losing record this season.
SMHS threw the first punch as this Home School team held the Warriors on their first possession and then drove 48 yards on 8 plays for the first score.
Josh DeVries had 4 touchdowns in win over Boerne
There was a test-tube experiment for Canyon Lake as the crowd at Hawk Stadium was seeing a ‘microcosm’ of their season in this one game.
You remember how this year started with six losses and each part of their game suffered.
Offense was clinking to start the season, then it was the defense turn as they were giving a bus load of points and how about those games where the special teams were not that special.
This game had it all as Canyon Lake started by allowing the Greyhounds to return a kick-off to the Hawks 32 yard line….then the defense was defenseless while playing Ole defense as Boerne waltzed down the field in just 5 plays for a score.
Mountain Valley 7th A team had a hard time getting traction in loss to Boerne, 12-8.
This was the Hawks first loss this season and will now have to regroup has they prepare for Navarro in the season final next week.
Boerne was in the MV’s huddle for several plays as the Greayhound defensive line was in the Hawks backfield on several plays causing little or no gain.
Tristan Chacon had an excellent game defensively and also was able to work a 8 yard average per rush attempt.
The defense did hold Boerne below the century mark, but that consolation prize will not ease or change the final score.
Mountain Valley Hawks 7th Grade ‘B’ Squad had way more than the Greyhounds could handle in a
Landry Moore, Dylan Dollar, and Devon Morehead taking it easy after Win over Boerne
redemption game win, 28-12 last Thursday at Hawk stadium.
In their first game, MV suffered their first loss of the year in Boerne but after the few first plays, fans knew that this game might have a different result.
Mountain Valley’s offensive stats would of fit onto a 6-Man football field on this day as each play run averaged over 12 yards. In the game earlier this year, the fumble was the kryptonite for the Hawks but in this game, Mountain Valley still had three fumbles but even that Kryptonite was not lethal for the superhuman efforts and resolve to redeem themselves from that loss.
MV’s first drive had running back Devon Morehead with two runs of 30 and 31 yards, the last run paving a path to the end zone the Hawks would enjoy for the rest of this night. Morehead finished with 109 yards on just 8 carries.
Morehead’s first run was unique in how the defender just ran with Devon but could not take him down…it looked like a new dance routine.
“I felt like hew was running with me,” Morehead recounted. “Towards the end of my run I was just trying at least gain as many yards as I could. The offensive line stepped up for sure today.”
