The Hawks have the Eagles Surrounded
Canyon Lake controlled Johnson City from the opening serve and were never behind their Eagle counterpart.
The Hawks won their last three games in Wimberley last week-end and continued on that hot streak as they continued to apply the pressure in this match up.
“We are serving more aggressively and we seem to be getting better each game,” Head Coach Nicole Creek said. “We can’t give them any thing easy.”
Last Tuesday during the opening games of this season, Canyon Lake was having a hard time getting their serves over the net, which would result in easy points for the opposition. Coach Creek seemed to be happy with how this part of the game is improving.
Twelve Aces served by the Hawks is case and point to that improvement.

During district play last season, Canyon Lake finished second in points scored only behind State Champion Wimberley.
That translated into a season with eight wins and no chance for more since the team missed on the tie breaker rule with Boerne and Navarro.
However; District 26 standings would of been predicted right on the button if you would of known how many points each team would give up.
Wimberley allowed only 51 points total in their five games, a whopping 100 points less than the Hawks.
Canyon Lake had a break out year offensively, but were left at the altar defensively when they gave up 30.2 points per game in that five game stretch.

Canyon Lake has started another season and for the first time with a new man in charge.
Head Coach Charley Drum
Head Coach Charley Drum is no stranger to the Hawk’s sideline and now the curtain has been raised on his team from this time forward.
Canyon Lake started their season with a scrimmage in Georgetown against East View a new school about two years younger than the Hawks.
Running Back Eduardo Covarrubias scored from 65 yards out on the first play from scrimmage on a lead to the right side. He broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage, and then out ran everyone else to the goal line.

Bracken Christian hoping practice makes perfect
The Warriors started in familiar territory, when on his first carry at the tailback position, Davis Scott darted 60 yards in a scrimmage against Lometa last Friday at Bracken Field.
Lometa plays for UIL division and was also joined with Round Rock Christian for the scrimmage.
“Lometa finished in the quarterfinals last season,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields started. “They are predicted to finish second or third this season in their district.”
Bracken Christian scored a 3-1 victory as Eli Achilles teamed up with Arnold Adame for two passes that went for 50 and 45 yards.
“No pass hit the ground from the first team,” Coach Lloyd Fields said.

Canyon Lake poses after winning the Bronze Bracket in Wimberley
The Hawks started slow but finished with a rush by winning their final three games to salvage a Bronze Bracket Championship last weekend in Wimberley.
Tex-Fest Volleyball Tournament has been on Canyon Lake’s schedule every year and the Hawks were able to get some much needed game experience and end the tournament with a three game winning streak.
“After a tough first day we battled back to sweep all three teams we played on Saturday,” Head Coach Nicole Creek said.
Canyon Lake beat Salado, 25-23 and 25-22 on Saturday. With so many teams in tournaments, teams advance in a best of three series instead of the best of five normally during the rest of the season.
In the Salado game, Marisa Ellis lead the team with 12 kills and finished second scoring 14 assists. Ellis has taken on a more dominant role in the attacking part of her game as this season starts in it’s infancy.
Freshman Halley McKnight has shown enough so far this season to suggest there will be improvement as she also had 15 assists, leading the Hawks.
Two other newcomers, Junior transfer Trena Lorett and Sophomore Hayley Malone finished one and two with seven and six digs in the game.

Canyon Lake taking control in first game of the Season against Liberty Hill
The Hawks started their new year with a split in a three team round robin last Tuesday night at the Canyon Lake gymnasium.
Both games were five game sets that left the exhaustive fans feeling good about this team.
Canyon Lake beat Liberty Hill in the first match: 23-25, 17-25, 25-15, 27-25, 15-5.
The first two games would be games that Coach Nicole Creek could use for instructing future team how not to play.
“First game jitters,” Head Coach Creek said. “We had great serving and clutch hitting to end this game.”
The second game of the set, had only three points scored that was not a result of Liberty Hill losing the serve. The hole dug by the Hawks was too deep to see any light to climb out of.
Canyon Lake had their first lead starting the third game going ahead 1-0. Marisa Ellis was the server when CL actually had a rally of five points that gave the Hawks a six point lead of 14-8.

Canyon Lake Hawks Preparing for Season
What is the definition for winning?
The Hawks have been on a tear since the middle of the ’10 season as they have compiled a record that can be a great building block.
Canyon Lake will be entering their fifth season and now only lack one win to even their overall record to an even .500 with 22 wins and losses.
Considering the first season where Canyon Lake could only muster one win over a hapless Ingram team where scoring 21 points was a high water mark for the young Hawks.
Three years later, CL has put their brand on many other mascots with some high scoring and with losses to only three teams during this recent stretch. Wimberley, Boerne, and Somerset are the only losses and now the Hawks ready themselves for another exciting year.

It was the fifth game of the season when Doug Hubnik made history with a four year
Senior Doug Hubnik ready for Season to start
program with lots of new ground to explore.
Hubnik scored on a 60 yard interception return and 80 yard kickoff return in the Luling game which was a first time for those type of scores for Canyon Lake.
Hubnik had the most catches from a non-senior last season with six. Those catches went for 95 yards and now the log jam in the receiver corp might allow this senior a chance to make a difference.
“We have a lot of skill players,” Hubnik started. “We will need to play to our skill levels this season.”
When asked how the play of Quarterback Branson Belcher was this first week, “He is playing real good…Branson is throwing real good.”
“We have grown up since our junior varsity year and a lot of us have moved to different positions and that has been our biggest change,” Hubnik said while commenting on how this Senior class might perform this season.

Many times what you hope will happen can get changed and coaches need to reach into
Junior Davis Scott ready for new role
their bag of tricks to see if something new might work.
Bracken Christian had that scenario come about when practice started last week. Six-man football is the game of choice for the Warriors simply because the number of boys available to play the sport.
Hence, it does not take many changes in a summer to start the dominoes falling and causing angst among the coaches and team.
The best way to stop the domino effect is by having players that can step into different roles at the drop of a helmet.
Junior Davis Scott will be that player this year as he will change from his Center position to running back. Scott had six carries last season from the Center position and he gained 36 yards.
Scott made his mark on the defensive side gaining All State honors last season as a defensive end.
“I’m a little shocked,” Scott said shockingly. “I am also very excited and I will do whatever the team needs me to do.”
