           Way to Plug those Leaks Lake!

Canyon Lake’s Defense was a Rock of Gibraltar coming out of halftime and proceeded to allow Navarro one first down and 14 yards which was enough for CL’s Offense to get two scores and a, 21-13 win.

Two Panther completions for 9 yards added by a suffocating Hawk front seven who applied pressure that entire second half.

Navarro possessed the ball 5 times during those last two quarters and the results were stunning on the negative side for the visitors.

Panther’s Second Half:
Possession 1: Gained  1 yard  on 2 plays and lost fumble.
Possession 2: Gained 19 yards on 9 plays and punt.
Possession 3: Lost   17 yards on 3 plays and punt.
Possession 4: Gained  9 yards on 3 plays and punt.
Possession 5: Gained  2 yards on 4 plays and interception.

That would be the ball game with a dominating defense while CL’s Offense came out of their shell after a 141 first half yards followed with 250 second half yards.

Two main offensive weapons had Gram Simpson reached over 100 yards finishing with 117 while Peyton King was targeted 7 times gaining 117 yards which would have been a year’s total during those slot-t campaigns.

QB Jace Wheeler finished with 221 yards passing and now possesses the best win/loss percentage for any Hawk quarterback and 3rd all-time in passing yardage.

                    Let’s Go Hawks!!

This game had a rough start when Navarro traveled 75 yards to score taking 4 minutes. The Panther’s lead lasted 16 seconds after Peyton King returned the kick-off 40 yards resulting  a short field and one play 39 yard strike to Kobe Halverson.

Coach Darrell Royal once said that two bad things can happen on a pass play. With an obvious interception or a fumble if pass is caught.

The Panthers did the fumble ‘bad thing’ on their next drive but CL would not take advantage reaching the 22 yard line before running out of downs.

Next, Navarro with a 14 play drive but a Hawk defensive stop on the 15 yard line kept this battle  tied.

Navarro’s next drive went 11 plays covering 75 yards giving these Panthers a, 13-7 lead that had Isiah Eureste blocked extra point. A key play.

                          Way to GO LAKE!

The Lake would come out of intermission and ‘repeat’ dominated the last two quarters scoring twice when Wheeler found King on a 42 yard beautiful pass and catch on this one play drive and Hawk, 14-13 lead at the end of that 3rd stanza.

A clinching score starting the 4th quarter was accomplished on a drive that took more than one play when CLake drove 70 yards on 16 plays topped off when Chris Brown used a bruising run for 7 yards and Hawk, 21-13 lead and final score.

Canyon Lake will be back in action when they travel to San Antonio to take on Veterans Memorial at D. W. Rutledge Stadium with kick-off 7:00pm.

A Rock of Gibraltar second half with a chance to improve on that performance against a 5A opponent Veterans Memorial.

Panther’s did not have a chance with CLJV’s Defense! Hawks won, 48-20! Go Lake!

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity started slow but finished in a 6-Man football mode in their 48-20 spanking of Navarro’s Panthers.

The Lake’s defense was spot on after a special team fumble recovery and a Carson Walker interception to start this affair.

Then forcing two 3 plays and punt series that had your Hawks up, 14-0 before giving up a score with just under 4 minutes remaining in the first half.

CLHS would respond to the Panther’s score with a 58 yard drive when John Fitzharris received a team sneak from 2 yards out resulting in a Hawk, 20-7 first half lead.

It would last two quarters that started a six-man contest. (For those unfamiliar with 6-man football it will many times take less than 4 plays for a touchdown)

Panthers started the 2nd stanza with a one play 75 yard run by a ‘Jack Rabbit’ or fast Panther down the home sideline taking less than 10 seconds to accomplish.

The Lake found out that their first half of dominance would be challenged.

                        GO HAWKS!!

That CL response would be in rapid fire using just 9  plays during those last two quarters and scoring 4 times that responded with a Lake, 48-14 lead until a no-time on the clock score by Navarro for a final score, 48-20.

This won’t take long if you catch The ReSporter’s 6-man scenario.

After the opening 2nd half score the Lake:

Took 3 plays to travel 61 yards when Dario Faz caught an over his shoulder pass from QB Damon Garcia for 59 yds and score.

N Panthers then went 4 plays and punt.

Hawks? Two plays for 61 yards when Oliver Carey-Spoon found his offensive line wedging a hole and squirting for 55 yards and score. Carey-Spoon finished with 106 ground yardage on 9 carries.

N Panthers 3 plays and punt.

Hawks? 3 plays that had a *Thomas Inmon 31 yard finger tip catch followed with a catch and run that went 23 yards for Peyton Vann.

*Inmon finished with 157 receiving Yards.

N Panthers 3 plays and punt.

The Hawks? A one play 41 yard run for Isaac Blinkley when he bounced out of the middle of the line and down the visitor side of the field and score.

QB Garcia started this contest with 6 incompletions before finding Inmon for 20 yard touchdown strike and CL’s first score of the game left in that opening frame. He was 2 for 9 going 26 yards before catching red hot fire with 11 straight completions and 247 yards.

Pretty impressive well oiled machine for The Lake!

It had been two weeks since that first game loss to Wimberley and getting that first win would be a defensive stalwart effort followed by a Six-Man football contest.

If you do this same type of game next week then start in that first quarter and the game would be over with a 45 point  or more lead going into halftime.

The Lake’s JV first home game will be next Thursday in a 5:30pm kick-off.

Way to Go Lake!

Football had a rebound week sweeping Crockett Cougars. Freshman beat Crockett’s Junior Varsity while Lake’s JV had the week off due to Cougars not having enough players to field another team.

CL’s offense had a coming out party passing for 273 yards with 4 touchdowns through the air. Hawk’s defense gave up one TD but no rest of this sport with a tough Navarro team coming to the Hawk Nest.

These Panthers come into this battle with the same record as The Lake and one encouraging stat coming from this last week was seeing the Hawk passing game starting to gel against a team that gave up a ton of passing yards in their loss.

Navarro is switching from the slot-t this year which, with most slot-t teams, who have problems in pass defense due to not practicing against a passing team week in and week out.

A chance to see more improvement as Canyon Lake will work on closing their 2-4 all-time record against Navarro.

Let’s Go Hawks and Win the Week!

The Freshman Hawks evened their record by leaving no doubt coming out of the chute ready to dominate in this win over the Crockett Cougars, 38-7.

Head Freshman Coach Lee Self, “I was super proud of the kids…the boys came out and played hard….we had a great first half and 2nd half we slated off a little bit and we have to work on that and play all four quarters and keeping that focus.”

“We have a lot to fix tomorrow and Monday but on top of that the positives and excited for the guys to get a win,” Coach Self continued. “We have improved from 7th grade to 8th and how much they have improved from 8th grade to 9th and how much they will continue to improve.”

This game started when CL’s defense pushed these Cougars offense back 11 yards in those first 3 plays capped off with a sack by Derek Dunlap.

Then on offense. The Lake, took 5 plays to drive 38 yards and scored off a QB Jake Welkey pass to Caleb Cross for 15 yards.

The Lake’s defense would continue their iron wall with another offensive barrage going 47 yards taking 9 plays on this drive that had running back Colin Armstrong with an 11 yard run that converted a 3rd & 10 situation.

Dunlap had his first score from a yard out which this TD was capped with a Dunlap 2 point extra point run.

CL’s Freshman kept the pressure going when Armstrong would take the rock 48 yards that converted a 3rd and 14 yards needed that was bounced out down the sideline for a score and Hawk lead, 22-0.

Armstrong finished this game rushing for 118 yards on 11 carries with that long of 48 yards.

On the Cougar’s next two drives the turnover bug struck with and a lost fumble and then an interception for Wyatt Galvan and a 25 yard return to the Crockett 30 yard line.

One play later it was Dunlap who would gallop 19 yards through a huge hole left by the offensive line and final score before half, 30-0.

The Lake would score their last time on a drive that consisted of 4 explosive plays sandwiched with a face mask penalty.

It was receiver Cross who produced a catch and run from QB Welkey for 28 yards score leaving 29 seconds in the 3rd stanza.

These Cougars did have a damaging play when #11 (who had speed out the wazoo) make the sideline for his 69 yard touchdown run. This was a one play touchdown and after that firework display the game finished with a whimper.

Improving would be the key word on this night and season as this Freshman group continues to see positive results and will see if that can continue next week when they go on the road again in Navarro.

Congrats and Way to GO LAKE!

                    Let’s GO LAKE!

Another week another week of sports out the wazoo. There was several set-backs last week and The Lake will look to turn those losses to wins this week.

First off Hawk Volleyball has now finished their tournament season and will now concentrate on a Tuesday-Friday schedule for the next 3 weeks before opening up district play against Fredericksburg on September 23rd.

This week a home game with Akins and then on the road to San Antonio to battle Cole.

The Record below shows where district schools have performed. A quick look shows two schools with solid records and Fredericksburg started making their move last week and will certainly be in the mix as a team The Lake will be fighting for a chance to be seeded for a playoff spot.

District 26-4A
Davenport       22    2   .917
Wimberley       24    5   .828
Canyon Lake     12   10   .545
Fredericksburg   9   11   .450
Bandera         12   15   .444
Long Creek       6   14   .300

                          GO HAWKS! 

Cross Country will have a short drive to New Braunfels as this week will have some big school competition.

Hawks Tennis started district with a loss to Davenport and will concentrate on getting back on the winning side of things when they welcome Ingram to the Hawk Nest this Tuesday with first serve at 4pm.

Football was swept against Wimberley but the good news is that none of those losses were results that The Lake has seen in recent years.

This week the Hawk Junior Varsity will have an off week and Freshman will have a 6pm kick-off in Austin @ the Burger Annex and you can see the location above.
This contest will usually have Austin Crockett with a combination of Freshman and Sophomores as this school does not sport a Junior Varsity.

Varsity Hawks will be pitted against the Cougars on Senior Night at the Hawk Nest. A tough loss and a chance for a rebound game this week as the season continues to mature.

Come out and Support the Hawks & GO LAKE!

Hawk Proud!

Cutting to the chase, The Hawk Nation could not be as proud in what was witnessed in last night’s game. By scoring 35 straight points which would be the most points ever scored in this Battle of the Back-Bone.

Yes, it ended in a heart breaking loss but by considering previous year’s campaigns this night became a story in scoring an all-time best and seeing their opponent as quiet as a Wimberley Whimper for 3 straight quarters and that Whimper was a sound that brought a smile to many faces of some old timers (The ReSporter included) which bodes well as each upcoming year it conjures up ideas of those days waiting for a Christmas where children and yes even old timers can hardly wait for what might be in that wrapped box for children and adults alike.

Canyon Lake was not able to steal their contest against Wimberley as this Texan team does what they do best and that is finishing with a win, 36-35.

                         Way to Go Lake!

The Lake is in their 2nd season under the tutelage of Head Coach Sam Parker and checking last season’s game that ended as a 46 point loss.

No points offensively but as last season unfolded there was a lot of hidden gems that came from last year’s debut which was a start that ended two extra games into the playoffs.

CLake looks to have future games where stealing will not be their vernacular whether changed to, ‘Come and Take It’.

An excruciating loss, but when taken into context this was one of the best nights for this contest’s history. Back in 2011 the Lake was State Ranked but a 14-50 loss was the outcome as the Hawks entered that battle undefeated and had a disappointing present letting that loss costing, The Lake in not making the playoffs.

                            GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake cannot let this final score define their season but an awakening as this team has 9 more gifts to open and for those of us that are Christians know that there is certainly a gift that will be greater.

The Lake will make a comeback and The ReSporter can’t wait to open more presents as this season matures.

Canyon Lake did finish with 210 yards through the air with Peyton King leading with 91 yards followed closely by Sophomore Kobe Halverson 89 yards of real estate.

King continues to perform like he had during those two scrimmages and looks like he will be ready to make his mark this year.

Now in his Senior year he started in a promising manner as a receiver and a key part of this team.

CL’s Offensive Line kept QB Jace Wheeler off the carpet which deserves mention.

The Lake will be home again next week when Austin Crockett comes calling and the Hawks might have some presents ready for Crockett to open.

Let’s GO LAKE & Way to Make us Proud!

Canyon Lake will look to get that proverbial monkey off their back in stopping a losing streak agains the Texans.

Yes, Wimberley has made it to Dallas these past few years and now with an improved Hawk Team maybe this season could be that year the Back-Bone Trophy returns by taking the Slime Road to Hawk Land.

Chad Parma & LJ Anderson will be bringing the game action to your porch or wherever you hang out.

And As Always Let’s GO LAKE!!
