“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift. And eventually we find that lessons learned from that discouraging experience prove to be of great worth.”

If you can learn from your mistakes then Lampasas is in for a heap of trouble next week.

The Hawks had so many self inflicted wounds from this game it is a wonder they were still in the game

Senior Quarterback Skyler Tschoepe has thrown nine completions in a row.

with a chance of winning.

“We made plenty of mistakes,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “From our special teams…punts…fumbles…and we still should of won that game with all those mistakes.”

CL will have to have a quick turn around as days go fast and another game is right around the corner, “You hate losing….but we will take something from this,” Coach Drum said with resolve.

District 14-4A-I will begin in three weeks and learning from these type of outings is paramount in how this season plays out.

“Our greatest mistakes, if we look at them, and digest them, and interact with them, and learn from them….they can be the greatest moments of our lives.”

The Canyon Lake JV squad had their game suspended due to lightning at the start of the fourth quarter

Austin Brennan and Dylan Dittman hoping for a 4 quarter game next week in Lampasas

as this game ended in an incomplete contest, keeping their, 3-0 record unblemished on this rain threatening evening.

CLJV actually had a good case of having the lead when this game ended as Wimberley’s only score was a result of a call from an official on a fourth down that was called roughing the punter.

That penalty resulted in a first down and the Texans eventually scored on that drive after converting another fourth down play. Wimberley did take advantage of that miscue and had an impressive drive for their score.

It was a fake punt that a Wimberley snapper missed to their runner and the ball rolled back to the punter. The Punter then had to chase down the ball to pick it up and try to get a punt off rugby style.

Canyon Lake missed the block but the punter was tackled since he ceased to be a punter and was fair game for a defense to tackle.

Mountain Valley 7th Grade gathering for their first of many after game talks with a score that far exceeds their competition.

Mountain Valley Middle School 7th Grade started their football career with a kick-off return for a touchdown.

Nelson Madera did the damage with a little help from his friends as he found a seam down the right sideline and ran for pay dirt.

“I just thought, ‘I can’t get tackled’,” Madera said while stiff arming this ReSporter. “It was awesome and we just want to get better and never stop trying.”

A little help from a friend came for Madera’s run, when Ethan Slater had a clearing block, that took out two Texans in pursuit and leaving Madera a clear path to the goal line.

“The Coaches teach us everything and it is those little things that helps us to do a good job,” Slater said with conviction. “They (Coaches) want to make sure all the little details are thought about….it was great being able to complete Madera’s run with a block and getting him out of trouble for the TD.”

Pre/Game:     CL Hawks      @      Wimberley Texans         Sept. 19      7:30 pm

 History: Wimberley lead series 5-1.

 This Season Game Results:

 CL Hawks   43   Smithville  14     Texans   31   Giddings    34
 CL Hawks   38   Marion      06

Wimberley has only played two games so far,  as last week lightening, was the culprit in halting their last contest.

The Texans enter this game with an 0-2 record but their offense improved ten fold in their loss to Giddings.

Canyon Lake will come into this game with a two game winning streak and a chance to beat Wimberley two games in a row to boot.

Winning on the road would be a huge feather in the Hawks dressing as well.

CL’s defense has been just as important in helping the past two game wins. Both games are in the top 10 for yardage yielded with Marion being the best game ever on that side of the ball holding those Bulldogs to less than 100 yards of offense.

Bracken Christian Warriors will be playing their 100th game since they first donned an uniform back in 2006.

This Warrior team will also be looking for their 77th victory which for all the math majors, would make figuring out that Bracken would have a 77% winning percentage.

Bracken has had only one losing season which was their first year when that Warrior team could only muster one win. Since that year there has not been a year where eight wins or more had not been reached.

Bracken passed their mid term test in a game with Austin Hill Country on a wet Friday in Austin, 66-40.

There is still work needed after the grading from Head Coach Lloyd Fields.

“I would give our offense an A and our defense a B, but our kicking game will receive a F after all those kick-offs yards we allowed,” Coach Fields graded. But our four Seniors stepped up and did their job.”

Bracken did receive a good outing with the Senior players.

Zack Fasenmeyer had nine tackles and caused a fumble.

Coy Zunker finished this game with18 tackles almost getting in the nose bleed arena with 20.

Robert Woods doing damage in last week’s game with Smithville

Canyon Lake finished off the Marion Bulldogs in wet conditions and lightening delays on Friday night, 38-6.

The game was early in the first quarter when lightning had been sighted and the stands emptied as a delay for an hour ensued on this wet night.

“It was a little depressing when they had to stop the game,” Safety Matt Adams volunteered. “But with Tommy Clark in the locker room, he got us all pumped up and ready to go when we returned to play.”

CL had a 7-0 lead at the delay signal and quickly resumed when they had a lightening strike offensively for another score with 5:16 left on the first quarter clock.

“We had a goal to have a fast start,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We got three and out on defense and our kickoffs gave us touchbacks.”

That was certainly a part of the game that changed from last week’s start.

“They had this game and played with intensity,” Coach Drum parted.
