Hawk Proud!
Cutting to the chase, The Hawk Nation could not be as proud in what was witnessed in last night’s game. By scoring 35 straight points which would be the most points ever scored in this Battle of the Back-Bone.
Yes, it ended in a heart breaking loss but by considering previous year’s campaigns this night became a story in scoring an all-time best and seeing their opponent as quiet as a Wimberley Whimper for 3 straight quarters and that Whimper was a sound that brought a smile to many faces of some old timers (The ReSporter included) which bodes well as each upcoming year it conjures up ideas of those days waiting for a Christmas where children and yes even old timers can hardly wait for what might be in that wrapped box for children and adults alike.
Canyon Lake was not able to steal their contest against Wimberley as this Texan team does what they do best and that is finishing with a win, 36-35.
Way to Go Lake!
The Lake is in their 2nd season under the tutelage of Head Coach Sam Parker and checking last season’s game that ended as a 46 point loss.
No points offensively but as last season unfolded there was a lot of hidden gems that came from last year’s debut which was a start that ended two extra games into the playoffs.
CLake looks to have future games where stealing will not be their vernacular whether changed to, ‘Come and Take It’.
An excruciating loss, but when taken into context this was one of the best nights for this contest’s history. Back in 2011 the Lake was State Ranked but a 14-50 loss was the outcome as the Hawks entered that battle undefeated and had a disappointing present letting that loss costing, The Lake in not making the playoffs.
GO LAKE!
Canyon Lake cannot let this final score define their season but an awakening as this team has 9 more gifts to open and for those of us that are Christians know that there is certainly a gift that will be greater.
The Lake will make a comeback and The ReSporter can’t wait to open more presents as this season matures.
Canyon Lake did finish with 210 yards through the air with Peyton King leading with 91 yards followed closely by Sophomore Kobe Halverson 89 yards of real estate.
King continues to perform like he had during those two scrimmages and looks like he will be ready to make his mark this year.
Now in his Senior year he started in a promising manner as a receiver and a key part of this team.
CL’s Offensive Line kept QB Jace Wheeler off the carpet which deserves mention.
The Lake will be home again next week when Austin Crockett comes calling and the Hawks might have some presents ready for Crockett to open.
Let’s GO LAKE & Way to Make us Proud!
