Robert Woods running for 123 yards in game with Smithville

Pre/Game:       Marion Bulldogs      @        CL Hawks      September 12th  7:30pm

 History: This will be the first meeting between the two schools.

 This Season Game Results:
 CL Hawks   07   Blanco      35      Marion Bulldogs   00   Yoakum        54
 CL Hawks   43   Smithville  14      Marion Bulldogs   07   Karnes City   13

Homecoming for CL is now beginning to be an event that graduated students are growing in number and the name is just what it needs to be a home coming.

The Hawks will play their second home game in a row and this will be another team that is struggling both offensively and defensively.

Canyon Lake will need to step up their intensity no matter their opponent as games like this will not be a true test for contests coming up over the horizon.

There is not a lot of things you can deduce from this Bulldog’s team offense as they have 159 total yards for that side of the ball. That comes out to 80 yards per game thus far.

Class was called in for a pop quiz that would be on the docket, as BCS Warriors passed their test in their CASA, 51-6.

Sophomore Brady Beane takes control against CASA

“If football was an academic course then last week we had a chapter test and this week was a ‘Pop Quiz’,” Head Professor Lloyd Fields taught. “This next week will be our most important class when we take a 6-Week Test.”

Bracken has 45ed the Rams every year in this seven year series and this would be no different after a Noah Boriack 38 yard run with 5:20 left in the third quarter closed out the game.

BCS needed this to be a ‘Mercy’ game based on being short in numbers this season and going home early was a welcome relief for a team that played over 100 plays last week in Temple.

Senior Running Back scoring on his record breaking day

Canyon Lake woke up from their slumber this season and were able to have more ease in a win over Smithville Tigers, 43-14 at the Lake.

The Hawks had some performances in this game that stood out and made some players look super.

Running Back Josh DeVries had the longest run from scrimmage passing Eduardo Covarrubias 75 yard run against Bandera in 2010. Along with that record, DeVries also had the highest average with a lofty 17.5 yards per carry.

In that same vein, century running tandems in CL’s history, was also topped by 22 yards.

Game Players/Yards Total
2014 Smithville DeVries 175, Woods 123 298
2013 Boerne Johnson 162, Dubois 114 276
2010 Bandera Henshaw 135, Covarrubias 103 238
2013 Pleasanton Dubois 118, DeVries 110 228
2012 Boerne Dubois 119, Covarrubias 100 219

Canyon Lake’s JV team has now won two more games than last year as the Hawks awakened in the second half and inflicting damage on Smithville, without using their offense.

The game was still much in doubt at halftime as both teams struggled to get enough positive plays to counteract some missed snaps and penalties.

“We made too many mistakes and we have some things to work hard on in practice,” Head JV Coach Jon Barthels assessed. “I’m happy with this game, the way we finished in the second half, it sometimes just takes a while to get going.”

Hawk Freshman listening for where their next Gold Rush will take place.

The Canyon Lake Freshman (2-0) team continues to impress as they started a ‘gold’ rush with their win over the Tigers in Smithville Thursday night, 49ers-22.

Luke Justis started the game off with a 43 yard run and the Hawks would not trail in the game as an incentive had been placed in front of this Freshman team.

“We (the team) saw some gold pants in the dressing room and we liked them and asked the coaches if we could wear them,” Justis said. “The coaches said if we scored 50 points then we could wear them.”

By ground or by air, Justis proved he was running for gold as he finished the first half by jumping to snag a pass from Ben Fulton with no time left on the clock.

The Warriors did not have anyone hurt last week!!!!  Yes, unfortunately that is the biggest statistics for this season’s team with so many players from last year missing and not playing will make this year a game of numbers.

Number of players on their roster, numbers.

That was carried out last week, when Bracken  went on the road to Temple and took care of business playing a team that had enough players to field two teams.

The Temple game had 113 plays which is second on their play list, only behind the Gustine game played two years ago when the Warriors had 127 plays in that 98-56 victory.

Not much is known about CASA, except that they usually don’t field a team that will win many games, as you can note having been beaten by OLH last week, 51-6.

There has yet to be a game played by these two teams that went four quarters. The Warriors have averaged a 61-9.8 score through those years. You can even add up all the points scored by the Rams and it would still not add up to that 61 point average.

Domination has been the name of this series and with the results of last week’s game, BCS might be playing another game not going four quarters and that would be just what the doctor would order.

Once again based on having that injury word not being mentioned on this night and a scoreboard that can be turned off early and the Warriors on their way home.

Bracken will not have a home game for two more weeks, but one stat that will play in favor of this schedule comes with a 30-4 road record.

The Warriors will still need to do their business and get enough reps for many of the Freshman that are starting this year.

Also, just working the cobwebs out of their system, as this year will have more tough teams on the horizon and taking a Friday off would not be the best course of action.

Hopefully, BCS will be able to up that win total to 31 after Friday night.

 Smithville Tigers  @  Canyon Lake Hawks      September 5th 7:30pm

 History: Hawks and Tigers have not played.

 This Season's Games:
 Canyon Lake  7  Blanco  35       Smithville  0   Rockdale    49

The Hawks will try to get a bad taste out of their mouth this week when they take on Smithville.

The Tigers did not have a good start to their season either and with two schools starting on the wrong foot, you will have two teams that will come out with a strong desire to change and get on the winning side of the ledger.

First Smithville, the Tigers were not very good on their opening day as they finished with no points, with no completions in their passing game, and a running game that could only muster two yards per play.

QB Garrett Mathis finished with negative 25 yards which would translate to enough sacks that HEB might be missing their allotment and not giving customers a paper or plastic option.

Running backs, Austin Green, Sean Moyer, Dameon Zepeda and Jake Dawson all finished with 18 to 35 yards rushing. Moyer had the best night of the four, with over five yards per carry.

Smithville’s defense had their problems too, in giving up over 500 yards with the majority of that real estate being gained through the air (414 yds).

When your best weapon is in the form of the punting formation, then you know it was not a good night. The Tigers had a 39 yard average per punt but that really just translated to more yardage that Rockdale could cover on their way for a score.

Canyon Lake is not in a position that they can snicker at those numbers as the Hawks were not much better with their game with Blanco.

Smithville ended with 92 total yards compared to the Hawks 158 yards.

Six of the seven touchdowns scored on Smithville was through the air and if CL can find a passing game, then that might be a way of breaking the Tigers’ for this night.

Rockdale had just 95 yards running which might suggest that Smithville’s best unit would be against the run.

Smithville had just one turnover and that bodes well as this team made their opponent play the whole field with no short scoring drives. Rockdale had just one score that did not cover more than 10 yards on those scoring plays.

Can the Hawks be opportunistic and make some long plays?

Last week the longest play covered 40 yards on a pass play to Evan Schuller with CL’s longest run covering 13 yards.  That run happened on their scoring drive which had Blanco guessing on defense for the only time during the game.

Last year, Canyon Lake started in a similar fashion against Blanco only to break out of their funk with a whale of a game in Somerset.

The big three of McGuire Johnson, Hayden Dubois, and Josh DeVries ran for 199, 79, and 92 yards in that game. That allowed your Hawks to score 35 points and if not for an electrical storm, might have translated into a win.

Momentum was lost in that delay but the simple fact is that Somerset had that same delay. No excuses, but the main point was how much different Canyon Lake looked compared to their opening game just a week earlier.

Canyon Lake needs a win and with the injuries, this game will be huge in establishing a team that can improve as District 14-4A comes a calling next month.

Go Hawks!!
