Coaches Corner with Lloyd Fields
Head Coach Lloyd Fields
The ReSporter: So, how has your week of practices been going?
Coach Fields: “We have had a good week of practices. This cooler weather has perked our players up.
This has been our concentrated best practices all year.”
The ReSporter: What is the status on your players? Coy Zunker and Gunnar Stolhandske in particular…
Hawks are running for a Playoff Spot
Canyon Lake has thrown their proverbial hat into the District 27-3A race with their win over Bandera last week and will now see if the curtain can stay up so fans will know that last week’s game was not a one-act-play.
So after a winless six games, the Hawks find that they have a decent chance of at least one extra game after this season comes to a close.
Looking at team stats after two district games will give you an idea of who the heavy hitter schools are. (Stats are on District Standings Page)
This week District 27-3A is divided into thirds as each game is coupled with a team with an identical record.
Navarro will entertain Fredericksburg at the top of the food chain and Boerne and Bandera will be looking for leftovers on the other end of that dinner table.
The ReSporter will start by deciphering Boerne and Bandera teams.
The winner of this game will be back in the hunt for that elusive playoff spot while the loser will be in the process of categorizing their uniforms for next season.
Bandera and Boerne both are ranked as the last two teams in total defense which could give you a clue on why they are at the bottom of the standings.

Bracken has righted their ship as the Warriors opened with 36 straight points in a win over CASA, 67-21 at Warrior Stadium last Friday night.
“I thought we needed this ball game going into our game with OLH next week,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We had to rethink our philosophy and our grind it out football but this game we were very business like.”
It was homecoming for Bracken Christian and some of those former players saw a familiar offense in this game.
BCS has been a grind it out type of team and on this night the Warriors had three straight drives consisting of one play for a score. For the game, Bracken had four one play drives and one two play drive.
That was a vintage Warrior night for this Homecoming crowd.
The Rams started the game throwing an interception on their third play when Sam Hilgendorf snagged the errant pass that gave BCS a chance to draw first blood.

Hawks take Bulldogs for a walk as this year’s version of CL football won their first game with what you could call a complete game victory in Bandera, 27-6.
“We beat them up physically and that was our plan,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “It is easy to give up when you are 0-6 overall and 0-1 in district, we have learned from what we have done this season…we knew that we would have to come out strong and we played a solid first quarter and we had some big plays.”
Complete Win for the Hawks.
First off, Canyon Lake’s new offense chewed up yardage on the ground with 367 yards at a 7 yard per carry clip.
Second off, Canyon Lake’s defense held Bandera to the lowest yardage total in Hawk history as these Bulldogs never got out of their back yard with just 109 yards of offense.
The Mountain Valley 8th Grade ‘A’ team was all over Bandera Bulldogs and after the first kick-off the game was all over, in a 34-0 win last Thursday night.

The Hawk ‘B’ squad started this contest with a whimper as their first four plays accounted for a negative three yards. The game might be a surprise for a club that has been clubbing opponents all year long.
Bandera then marched to the Mountain Valley 9 yard line where the Bulldogs finally ran out of gas.
The nine play drive covering 32 yards would be Bandera’s best drive of the night as these Bulldogs would only amass three more first downs in this game.
Canyon Lake JV took Bandera to the wood shed in their win at Hawk stadium on Thursday night, 30-0.
Lineman: Anthony Wagner, Cameron Susuki, and Chris Schultz
“The journey this year from that great comeback win in Blanco to not finishing games where we played 3 quarters here or there, but never a whole game,” Head Junior Varsity Coach Brian Owens stated. “We had to learn how to finish and we did not give up when this season got tough….we are playing with more enthusiasm.’
The Hawks held Bandera to no yards on their first drive which allowed the offense to set up shop and take a quick 8-0 lead. This drive was for 43 yards on 6 carries and a score that would be all CL would need for a win.
A key for this win was a line that dominated the trenches and running backs that shared the ball in running up the score and yardage.

Bracken Christian is having to regroup as they prepare in trying to start another streak of wins this season.
Last week’s game was not a good barometer for how to get into a playoff type of atmosphere and certainly some changes will need to be made on how this team will go into the last half of their schedule.
Casa Rams have three wins which is a high water mark for this team over the last few seasons.
This Ram team has a couple of players that will give you notice that the game might not be a runaway victory just because you suit up.
