“Each game gets more important,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields

admonished. “This will be a very difficult team to prepare for, because they do so much stuff.”

Stuff, is the operative word for different formations and giving defensive minded coaches enough headaches that their vocabulary incorporates the words like, ‘stuff’.

CASA will be the second team with a three game winning streak coming into the game with the Warriors in a row.

The Rams started the season slow, but have picked up steam recently by surprising several soothsayers with their victory over SA Winston last Friday.

CASA beat their cross town rivals 45-39 which raised several eyebrows the next morning as people were going over the previous evening scores.

“This will be the quickest team we have played since Hill Country,” Coach Fields said.

BCS Volleyball Beat Waldorf, Clinch Tie for District Crown

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

“We are so excited about last night!! Both JV and Varsity persevered for our district title,” Head Coach Shaunna Teuton said excitedly.

The Warriors started the match losing their first game, 23-25.

“I think we were working out the nerves in the first game,” Coach Teuton said. “We were making some mistakes that we don’t typically make and they came out with a fast lead. We worked hard to catch up, but never passed them. At the end of the first game we had the momentum, though not the win, and went with it. They were close games and we had to work hard.”

Bracken has been on a roll after losing their first District game of the year. The Warriors have been unbeaten since the loss to Kerrville OLH four weeks ago.

“This will be an easy game to fire them (football team) up,” Head

Coach Matt Monzingo started.

Times are different from this time last season. The Hawks had just lost a brutal game to Navarro and had a 2-4 record. Consistency was a word that had not been used many times up to that point.

Talking to Coach Monzingo this season has not been a chore, as the Hawks have not had the ‘bad taste in your mouth’ type of games up to this point.

“The kids listen,” Coach Monzingo continued. “When we (Coaches) ask them to improve or work on certain areas, then they have responded each time.”

Canyon Lake Hawks brought their own Breaker System to Navarro and lit up the Panthers for a 41-26 hard fought victory.

The Hawks had 29 points last season in the fourth quarter for all of their games. In this contest alone, Canyon Lake finished with 20 and now have garnered 62 points, doubling last year’s total.

“It feels good to win a game for a team that is hard to prepare for,” Head Coach Matt Monzingo said. “We had ball control too in the second half and moved the chains.”

Finish is the ‘mantra’ for this year’s club and the conditioning and focus has once again catapulted the undefeated Hawks to 6-0 and waiting for Wimberley next week.

Canyon Lake keeps raising the bar and has a realistic chance of reaching the .500 mark (all time) with a win against the Texans. (20 wins and 20 losses)

Freshman Hawks Stifle Panther Offense, 21-8

Friday, October 7th, 2011

GERONIMO, Texas – “2 and 0” were the cries being heard from Panther Stadium Thursday night as the Canyon Lake Freshmen Hawks improved to 2-0 in district play and 3-3 on the season after beating the Navarro Panthers 21-8.

From the opening kick the Hawks made play after play on defense to stymie the normally methodical yet effective Panther offense as Navarro was only able to rack up 95 yards of total offense in the game.

“We read our keys and did what we talked about in practice for the past two weeks,” coach Luke Chapman said after the game. “Credit to the kids for taking coaching and executing on the field. We did a great job of being physical and each man doing his job.”

Canyon Lake JV gets Run over, 32-13

Canyon Lake could never get control of the line of scrimmage in loss to Navarro

Colin Baker Scores Fourth Quarter Touchdown

Colin Baker Scores Fourth Quarter Touchdown

Panthers at Hawk Field Thursday night, 32-13.

Navarro did one thing well, and that was run the ball.

The old adage of run the same play until the other team can stop it was alive and well at Hawk Stadium.The Panthers averaged over nine yards per carry while the Hawks tried to find the ball.

Oh yeah, the Panthers did something else very well and that was hiding the ball from the Hawk defense. By the time CL figured which running back was running, it was too late to stop the positive yardage. (more…)

It has been a year since the ‘Running’ of the (Bulls) Panthers at Canyon Lake field. The result was over 80 plays run by the visitors from Navarro.

The Time Of Possession (TOP) was not a stat that was kept for the game, but conventional wisdom would tell you that Navarro controlled the clock to the extent that the Panthers were walking off the field with Big Bend on their back and enjoying every stride.
