Canyon Lake’s JV Volleyball team came home from Wimberley holding a 1st Place Silver Bracket trophy.

Another Hawk team that is starting to jell as this year’s schedule continues.

The Hawk JV had some new faces starting this year which made this season a little longer to get each player on the same page with their communication.

One game in particular had been on this team’s mind when CLJV was beaten in Lockhart three weeks ago. In that game, the Hawks, had an eight point lead in that third match and a chance for their first win.

That is when all those communication gremlins showed up on the court that night and Lockhart found their groove for a comeback win.

“I think this tournament really helped us to gel as a team,” Head JV Coach Megan Helmey said. “I can see the girls working together and trusting each other more.”

Bracken passed their mid term test in a game with Austin Hill Country on a wet Friday in Austin, 66-40.

There is still work needed after the grading from Head Coach Lloyd Fields.

“I would give our offense an A and our defense a B, but our kicking game will receive a F after all those kick-offs yards we allowed,” Coach Fields graded. But our four Seniors stepped up and did their job.”

Bracken did receive a good outing with the Senior players.

Zack Fasenmeyer had nine tackles and caused a fumble.

Coy Zunker finished this game with18 tackles almost getting in the nose bleed arena with 20.

Robert Woods doing damage in last week’s game with Smithville

Canyon Lake finished off the Marion Bulldogs in wet conditions and lightening delays on Friday night, 38-6.

The game was early in the first quarter when lightning had been sighted and the stands emptied as a delay for an hour ensued on this wet night.

“It was a little depressing when they had to stop the game,” Safety Matt Adams volunteered. “But with Tommy Clark in the locker room, he got us all pumped up and ready to go when we returned to play.”

CL had a 7-0 lead at the delay signal and quickly resumed when they had a lightening strike offensively for another score with 5:16 left on the first quarter clock.

“We had a goal to have a fast start,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We got three and out on defense and our kickoffs gave us touchbacks.”

That was certainly a part of the game that changed from last week’s start.

“They had this game and played with intensity,” Coach Drum parted.

Anthony Jones, Sam Spurlock, Kenneth Jowers and Elijah Sheffield

Canyon Lake JV has now won three more games than they accumulated last season and the good news is the ease of how they are dominating their opponents.

Marion Bulldogs was that team on the short end for this night to the tune of, 47-0.

Defense was at full throttle for this game as Kenneth Jowers planted the Bulldog’s QB in their end zone for a two point lead on the safety.

“We were getting pumped up in the bus coming over here,” Jowers said. “We were ready to play because of how we stared last week.”

Bracken has Austin Hill Country right where they want them….the Warriors are playing them on the road.

AHC is still looking for their first win agains BCS on their home turf.

“If they are healthy, then they will be a very good team,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields. “This will the best team we will have faced and this will be our biggest test for this year.”

The Knights have a loss, but Abbot is ranked in UIL in the Top 5 and that would certainly give them an out in playing a game against a juggernaut like that for your first game.

Homecoming for CL is now beginning to be an event that graduated students are growing in number and the name is just what it needs to be a home coming.

The Hawks will play their second home game in a row and this will be another team that is struggling both offensively and defensively.

Canyon Lake will need to step up their intensity no matter their opponent as games like this will not be a true test for contests coming up over the horizon.

There is not a lot of things you can deduce from this Bulldog’s team offense as they have 159 total yards for that side of the ball. That comes out to 80 yards per game thus far.

Hawks putting themselves in a good position to start district next week.

The ReSporter has mid season numbers for the Volleyball team and this is also a good time to go over what might transpire this year in District 26-4A.

Looking at the standings you will find five teams with a legitimate chance of snagging one of the four playoff spots.

Givens? Gonzales will not win a game this year in district action and La Vernia has a chance to surprise simply because they have proven themselves in past years.

Yes, they lost several players from last year’s team and the question would be can they compete with all five teams.

There have already been two games played and Cuero had the best non-district record but being beaten by Navarro 3-0 does not give you a good idea that any of those wins were to stalwart teams.

Sophomore Regan Mickey is setting the stage for Senior Lillie Sander

Canyon Lake had a big win against La Grange on the road when they scored a sweep, 25-23, 25-22, 25-23.

For some perspective on this game take these facts on La Grange.

The Leps had just won the Consolation Bracket in the just completed Hays Tournament that had 25 teams in competition.

That translates to winning six out of eight contests and before their loss to the Hawks had a 21-7 record.

“This was a good preparation game for district,” Head Coach Kim Paisley stated. “They will remind you a lot of Wimberley with their tradition.”
