Pre Game: La Vernia vs. Canyon Lake

                      La Vernia @ Canyon Lake    7:30pm
                            0-2   1-1
History: Bears and Hawks are tied two games a piece.
 2006 Hawks 08 Bears 42
 2007 Hawks 07 Bears 21
 2008 Hawks 24 Bears 19
 2009 Hawks 34 Bears 23
This Seasons Games:
 Hawks 26  Blanco   21    La Vernia 13   Medina Valley   40
 Hawks 35  Somerset 54    La Vernia 40   Port Lavaca Cal 56

La Vernia will be CL’s next opponent and they will be bringing a very sore defense to the game this week.

This should be a quick game based on how the rush defense for La Vernia was abused by Port Lavaca Calhoun last week.

How about 642 yards of offense by the run. The Sandcrabs had three players with over 100 yards rushing. One of their players had 338 yards on just 23 carries.

Before you get too overconfident, realize that Port Lavaca is a 4A school and that can make stats look very one sided, for a smaller classification.

Canyon Lake won the stat battle last week but that still resulted in a loss on this season’s ledger sheet.

Bracken Christian Cuts Paper Lions, 66-20

Bracken Christian put the Lions in their den without teeth as the Warriors ran rough shod over Sugar

Senior Defensive End Jeremy Fasenmyer

Land Logos Prep last Friday night, 66-20.

Several items you can take from this game.

Bracken has a good running and passing game and when both are in sync, then the opponent can only play cards in their den while the arcade scoring goes on TV.

BCS rolled up 561 total yards which ranked only behind an Austin Hill Country game last year that went the full four quarters. This game was ruled a mercy game with over four minutes still left in the game.

Senior Eli Achilles also amassed 486 total yards via, rushing, passing, and returning interceptions. Achilles 277 yards on the ground ranks eighth behind Grady Achilles who is owner of those games.

Sugar Land Logos Prep was driving during the second quarter only behind 14 points. Their drive had started on the 29 yard line and a nine play drive had the visitors on Bracken’s one yard line.

Enter Achilles who had his second interception of this game and raced a record 79 yards for a 22 point lead.

SomerSets over Hawks, 54-35

Eduardo Covarrubias Running through blocks by Justin Monfils and Luke Saenz

Somerset Bulldogs tore some feathers off the Canyon Lake Hawks in a route of special proportions.

‘Special’, since the loss can be attributed to Special Teams failures and Penalties.

“We told them last week that we were lucky to win that game,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “Costly penalties and we lost the turnover battle.”

“We need to get more intensity with our special teams,” Offensive Coordinator Levi Montgomery said. “We will show them what they did wrong and get it fixed.”

Take away the third quarter and your Hawks would of won by one point. However the rules still state for a game to be official the third quarter must be played.

“We did anything we wanted to do offensively,” Coach Drum beat. “Everything we did tonight is correctible.”

For the second game in a row, Canyon Lake’s special teams are becoming special for their opponents as Somerset started the second half with a kickoff return for a touchdown, a repeat from last week.

Add to that a pooch kick that was not fielded on Somerset’s next kick and nine plays later another score. In what seemed liked a close game after halftime, ballooned to 33-21 lead for the Bulldogs in four minutes.

Last weeks penalties creeped back into the Hawk’s game plan and on their very next play Canyon Lake had a 72 yard touchdown pass called back by a holding penalty.

“A lot of errors and penalties,” Quarterback Belcher chimed. “On both sides with the offense, defense, and special teams….just killed us.”

The Hawks could not keep their momentum and had a punt travel 10 yards and Somerset was looking at 59 yards for another chance to score. Which they did in eight plays with one play that had another 15 yard penalty helping a five yard gain become 20 yards giving the Bulldogs a first down on CL’s 17 yard line.

CL Freshman Lose to Somerset, 20-8

Canyon Lake’s Freshman squad started the game on fire, but the Sun got hotter and welted this Hawk team as they melted away in the final half losing, 20-8 at Somerset last Thursday. The 5:00 pm start had the temperatures in the triple digits.

The first score was set up by a great punt return by Matthew Adams for 36 yards. This play allowed Canyon Lake to set up shop on Somerset’s 34 yard line.

A Joseph Arredondo pass to Gordon McCleary for 10 yards and with 22 yards rushing from Cody Davis helped Arredondo to sneak it in from the one yard line.

Arredondo found Zach Gregory for the two point conversion and with the second quarter just getting started the visitors had an 8-0 lead.

The Hawks defensive five quarter scoreless streak was a thing of the past when Somerset answered with a 70 yard pass play to Villareal on their next possession.

Villareal was really all the Bulldogs would need for this game as he snatched an interception on the first play of the second half,  going untouched for their go ahead touchdown.

Somerset JV Football team get Planted, CL Wins, 26-18

The Canyon Lake Junior Varsity improved to 2-0 for the season after staving off a comeback rally from

Head JV Coach Brian Owens addressing team after Win over Somerset

Somerset last Thursday night Bulldogs stadium.

The Hawks started the game with an impressive 70 yard 13 play drive that took a little over six minutes off the clock.

Canyon Lake served a good dose of Running Back Hayden Dubois on this drive as he accounted for 84 yards of real estate by air and run. The two pass plays were back breakers for Somerset with both passes coming from a screen pass.

Dubois was the recipient on both passes of 40 and 12 yards, the final one ending in the endzone.

If you were trying to do the math, then you will notice that Dubois had more yardage than the distance needed to travel for the touchdown. Penalties and one sack for Skyler Tschoepe was the cause for that anomaly.

Canyon Lake struck again when Dayton Dingman blocked a Somerset punt and then had teammate Gavin Rutherford return the punt 20 yards to the Somerset nine yard line.

From there it only took the Hawks two plays to score, when Nick Cahill caught a slant pass over the goal line for what would be a 12 point lead.

Somerset also had some decent returns on kick-offs and helped their cause when they returned the next kick to the Canyon Lake 49 yard line.

The Bulldogs took three running plays with the last one going for 33 yards by Avila. This young man ended the game with 175 yards and was hard to get a hold of for the remainder of this game.

Pre/Game: Bracken vs. Sugar Land Logos Prep

                 Sugar Land Logos Prep @ Bracken Christian
                           Lions (0-1) Warriors (1-0)
History: This will be the first game played between the two schools.
This Year's Results:
 BCS 56 Austin Hill Country 06         Calvert 40 Logos 38

Sugar Land Logos team were beat last week, but the game was a squeaker by two points to a perennial UIL squad.

The season is still too young to take a lot away from a team’s first game, but just from a first look, Logos Prep did well considering how weak their district has been the past several years.

That loss certainly gives this team an inside track to a district championship. Especially with the departure of Tomball Christian to 11-man this year.

Six-man football is a hard sport to find enough information to make an article to give the fans ideas of what too watch for in their game for that week.

Hawks make Lytle Pirates walk the Plank in Sweep

Canyon Lake Volleyball team sent Lytle off the plank with a resounding three game sweep in the Varsity game as well as two, two game sweeps in the Freshman and Junior Varsity game.

The Freshman girls spotted the Pirates a 6-1 lead to start the first game and then only gave up three more points for the game as only five girls were called on to serve.

Caitlin Mabry was the player that sent the Pirates in a tailspin with 11 serving points and six of those points being scored on aces.

In the second game Mabry kept up that pace with nine more points serving and another five aces.

“Really working hard in practice,” Mabry stated.

On whether she was tired after serving so much, “Tired? Not really.”

Volleyball: Coaches Corner with Nicole Creek

Canyon Lake Volleyball team continues to play over .500 ball this season.

Head Volleyball Coach Nicole Creek

That is good news as Head Coach Nicole Creek has scheduled some tough teams in tournament action.

The Hawks won in Blanco last Friday night in four games and then finished the San Marcos Tournament with two losses on Saturday.

The ReSporter caught up with Coach Creek for some Coaches Corner questions.

The ReSporter: The second game against Blanco your team was behind 19-13 and then proceeded to score 12 consecutive points. Is that the best run you can remember in the short history of CL Volleyball?

Coach Creek: “Yes, in game two Halley (McKnight) served and we scored 12 points in a row! Yes that I can remember it was the best run we have had.”

The ReSporter: Amber Ramsey looks like a beast on the nets the last couple of games, what is the record for kills in a season and does she have a chance to best that record at this pace?
