Mountain Valley Middle School 8th Grade is just one year away from walking down Canyon Lake High

Eric Hill, Hank Jordan, and Lee Stafford getting together after a win over Bandera

School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.

The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.

MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.

Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.

Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but  it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.

Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

The ReSporter: As District 27-3A looms in the next few days, The ReSporter would like to get a mid season update from Coach Mary Beth Gallagher before the start of district play against Fredericksburg at the Hawk Gym on January 3rd with tip-off for Junior Varsity 4:30 and Varsity 6:00pm.

The ReSporter: How has your young team progressed during this pre district games?

Coach Gallagher: “Well we have progressed and we are now focused on the details of our offense.”

The ReSporter: What are you needing from those players to do in order to give your team a chance to compete?

Coach Gallagher: “We have to do the little things like set good screens, make smart passes and finish shots to win in district. We know we will have to beat Wimberley and Bandera both times and we would love to take a win from one of the other three.”

Mountain Valley Seventh Grade had a Grade A football season and The ReSporter would like to

Cade Dunavant and Landry Moore are happy after Win over Fredericksburg.

play a tribute to this group of players.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.

Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

The stats below were compiled based on home games this season for both A and B squads.

Matt Magness holds CL record for most touchdowns receiving

The ReSporter was bored during the Christmas Break and studied all of the scores since competition started and recorded those students with longest touchdowns by receiving and rushing.

There are a few players that most fans will remember after seeing this list and will help you put those scores in perspective.

First item The ReSporter noted was how unique a player Doug Hubnik was for the Hawks.

Hubnik while playing for CL scored several ways.
Interception Return against Luling during the 2011.
Kick-off return against Luling during that same game.
Receiving several times during his two year offensive career.
Rushing while being a QB during the La Grange game in 2011.

FRESHMAN

Canyon Lake had a rough night losing close games with Lampasas as the Hawk Freshman team had a one point loss to the Badgers.

“We played hard and kept ourselves in the game,” Head Freshman Coach John Barthels said. “A late turnover with just a few seconds on the clock sealed the deal.”

The Hawks seem to have a disease that is creeping onto each squad this year as first quarter jitters are allowing opponents to seize a lead and CL having to come back to get back into the game.

Canyon Lake had to overcome a five point hill to start the fourth quarter and just could not climb another hill for a win.

Canyon Lake could not get out of the gate in their game with La Vernia and ended up on the wrong side of the ledger, 75-54 last Tuesday night.

The Hawks are still searching for some pieces to their puzzle that will help put together some good results.

“We just have to find something to hang our hat on and right now we are searching,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “The good news is we have six practices and only one game coming up and that will help us refine some things and work on stuff.”

CL did have Andrew Riali with 20 points that might have this sharp shooter coming out of his slump. All the baskets by Riali were from three-point land.

Canyon Lake had some players out with sickness and that did not help in getting a good game rhythm.

“We played hard as always,” Coach Chapman closed. “We still need to improve our decision making and ball skills.”

The Hawks will be back in action this Friday for an early Tip-Off (5:00pm) at Canyon Lake against Lampasas.

Score by quarters: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final Canyon Lake Hawks 10 10 18 16 54 La Vernia 20 13 23 19 75

The Canyon Lake Freshman started their game with La Vernia Bears like they were the team in hibernation as the Hawks first and second quarter was a sleepy 11total points.

La Vernia capitalized on those two periods and held on for a 43-33 win.

Canyon Lake finally did awake with a 14 point third quarter which also allowed the Hawks close their 14 point halftime deficit to a five point barn burner.

“If we can put together four periods of basketball like we played in the third quarter tonight, then we are going to be competitive in all of our games,” Head Freshman Coach John Barthels stated. “The kids did a great job of staying positive both on and off the court.”

Canyon Lake finished the Hawk Classic on a down note on Saturday with two losses against Randolph and Liberty Hill.

The Hawks need games to get used to each players nuances and with time hoping that ingredient will jell in time before district play commences.

“We have a long way to go,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We still have a goal of working hard and to peak in January. There is still some stuff that we need to add.”

Canyon Lake is still on a first name basis among the players.

“We did a lot in those last two games,” Chapman closed. “We have played more games than practices.”

That statement gives a fan an idea of what is being shown in games now being improved upon as this season matures.
