Canyon Lake had an opposite word game. What happened last week was just the opposite in this game with Somerset.

There is an old adage that a team will improve the most between the first and second game and the Hawks had already scored more points than the Blanco game on their first drive.

“We had a good offensive line tonight,” Head Coach Charles Drum started. “Our offense was totally different than the way we played last week. I’m proud of our offensive line.”

McGuire Johnson was the workhorse on this night as he rumbled for two touchdowns in the first half and helped Canyon Lake regain a lead going into a delay of game stoppage as thunderstorms and lightning threatened the area.

The ReSporter: You accumulated a lot of points and wanted to know if that was more

Coach Mary Beth Gallagher

based on your competition, how did our team do compared to other schools your size?

Coach Mary Beth Gallagher: “Well there were not very many schools with our size at this meet. We finished in the middle of the pack on boys varsity and the girls, well about the same as always, the bottom 1/3.”

The ReSporter: Was there someone that had a break out run?

Coach Mary Beth Gallagher: “I will tell you each kid improved their times from the trial times two mile a week earlier and that is what we hope to do each week.”

The ReSporter: The San Marcos Tournament was your last tourney…how do you see

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

what needs to be worked on as you go these last few weeks before the start of district play?

Coach Paisley: “The San Marcos tournament was excellent, especially for the last tournament. We definitely played stronger teams. We also have had the chance to watch some film and see ourselves in action. We are focusing on certain areas of our game and fixing it up.”

The ReSporter: The ReSporter noticed on the stat line that Regan Mickey seems to be getting more involved, is she above the curve or about where you thought she would be at this time?

The ReSporter: What is your thoughts for this game with Sugar Land Logos?

Coach Fields: “These guys can motor and they can score in two or three plays much like we used to be able to do.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about Sugar Land Logos’ game with SA The Winston?

Coach Fields: “SA The Winston fumbled eight times in their game with Logos and they still took them to the fourth quarter. Our goal is to be better than last week and to play the full four quarters. You can see that our game with Austin was lost in that second quarter and we can’t have a let down like that and expect to win.

Yes, our goal is to play better, but of course winning would be better.”

It was a game that a fourth quarter comeback led to a victory…the only difference on this Thursday

Anthony Wagner, Jakob Merritt, and Matt Adams after tough loss to Somerset JV

night for the Canyon Lake JV team was being on the wrong end of that score, losing 16-14 to Somerset.

Last week, the Hawks responded with 19 points in a 4th quarter blitz over Blanco giving a nice ride home with three point win.

This time it was Somerset winning a game in that same stanza by scoring 14 unanswered points in a game your Hawks let fly away.

That flight was an 81 yard pass play with just one minute left on the clock that spelled Canyon Lake.

“We started great,” JV Coach Brian Owens stated. “This is something every JV team has to experience and they will need to learn from this lesson.”

“They (Hawks) did everything we asked and we just have to have toughness and intensity that will last till the end of the game…we hit a plateau during the middle of the game and we never regained our momentum.”

Canyon Lake Freshman had a tough time with the Somerset Freshman team losing 36-2 at Hawk

Tyler Shipman and Tyler McCleary after game with Somerset

Stadium last Thursday evening.

Those two points did not result from a safety, rather an opportunistic Tyler McCleary caught a wayward pass on a two point conversion and ran untouched 97 yards for two points.

A couple of Bulldogs looked like they might have a chance of catching McCleary, but after reaching the 10 yard line int route to the goal line, McCleary seemed to turn on the afterburners leaving the opposition with no chance of catching him.

“I just held my hands up and if I would not have had on my gloves, then I would not of caught it (the ball),” McCleary said calmly.

If Bracken Christian can see the end of the tunnel then they better be sure they are not running on a train track.

Sugar Land Logos will be a much improved team this year and the Lions even showed a much improved team during the playoffs last season after a Warrior blow out to begin last year.

San Marcos tournament will be the last tournament for the Hawks as they are now less than a month from the District 27-3A round robin.

Canyon Lake will have a five game home streak as they will not go back on the road until the Hawks open district play in Navarro.
