Back in the days when the Hilltop Reporter was getting started, we scheduled a visit with Head Coach Matt Monzingo to find out all things Sports at Canyon Lake High School and specifically football.

While going over the offense with Coach Monzingo, the question was asked about the running game. The response from Coach Monzingo, “We did not have a running game last year.”

All the offensive stats coming from the Coaches that meeting revolved around the passing game.

The team with no seniors won one game that year. The record might have been a better if the running game would of been evident. (more…)
