Burnet Bulldogs JV came out on fire but the only thing missing for this Bulldog team was a Hydrant.
Yes, the final score was in Burnet’s corner, however this JV team for Canyon Lake was without several players due to being moved up to Varsity and this Hawk team also had sick and injured players that helped deplete this team.
No excuses, because by looking at this game you had to come away impressed with what was shown in the trenches for this Hawk team.
The Burnet JV offense came out with three first downs and in their first four plays and you could see that this Bulldog team might of been playing the Hawks, but all they could see were cats.
This is when this Hawk team started stemming the tide and started showing a whole new approach to this game.
“We adjusted our defensive line,” Defensive Coach Brian Hooper started. “So we started slanting to the strong side or to the side they were running.”
“We were hit in the mouth to start this game, but we came out with a defensive line that gave them (Bulldog offense) to big of a gap,” Hooper closed. “They (Hawk defense) responded well.”
One third of Burnet’s rushing yardage was during those first two drives and Canyon Lake responded by shutting that hydrant off.
