CLJV’s Defense Continues Strong Showing in Win Over Rockets, 26-0

Friday, September 26th, 2025

Hawks Junior Varsity’s Defense in a hand-to-hand combat in shutout over JFK, 26-0.

 

Isaac Blinkley with a 79 yard TD run & Mason Hallmark with two sacks in Hawk’s win over Rockets.

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity was efficient in win over JFK by scoring a, 26-0 shut-out for first district play win.

The Hawk’s defense dominated by allowing a 22 yard pass and 32 yard rushing play as their only damage resulting giving up 2.4 yards of real estate per snap.

The Lake’s offense capitalized on a fumble recovery on these Rockets muffed punt snap and a one play pass from QB Damon Garcia to Peyton Vann sneaking to the right end of the end zone for a touchdown.

A Rocket 4th down gamble did not pay off on JFK’s next drive gave CL another short field on their second possession which had Isaac Brinkley darting 5 yards for a Hawk, 14-0 lead with 2 minutes remaining in that first frame.

With that muffed punt for the Visitors and a Hawk 4 yard punt that formation would force each school using all 4 downs to move the chains.

But that was not necessary on CLake’s next drive that had Brinkley playing two below on his scamper going for 79 yards to pay-dirt and Hawk, 20-0 first half lead.

   Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!

Canyon Lake would take advantage opening the 2nd half with the ball and taking 6 plays that went for 65 yards and final nail in this win, 26-0.

That drive started with an incomplete pass but was followed with 4 plays going 10 or more yards when QB Garcia (16 yards) and RB Oliver Carey-Spoon (17 yards) set up an 18 yard scoring strike when Garcia found an open Dario Faz catch and run for that final score.

Canyon Lake will be up next on the road at Fredericksburg for a chance to continue their momentum and another win!

Way to GO LAKE!

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Fall sports will now be entering the district part of their schedules. Tennis has been there for a while and Volleyball will begin at the Hawk Nest this Tuesday against Fredericksburg.

The Standings below give a good snap shot of how teams have formed their resume in preparing for this time of year.

The Lake’s Volleyball has the third best record but as previous years’s have taught this is not a time to hang your chances based on the past. It will be formed by the future knowing that two schools have impressive records against some good competition. (Davenport & Wimberley)

Canyon Lake will be in a battle for two spots knowing that those two schools above taking two post-season spots.

That’s what makes CL’s district schedule with their first three battles being against schools that share those same goals. A Hawk sweep these next 3 games is an essential, need to win, goals with two of those dates on home court.

                          GO HAWKS!

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal parted these words as Volleyball starts up, “We’ve been preparing hard for district, and I thought playing La Vernia right before was a great challenge for us. They’re a very well rounded team that runs a fast offense, and I felt like we battled well. For us, it’s about continuing to sharpen our execution and building momentum to pull out those wins against strong teams like La Vernia.

This group has been working extremely hard and is fully bought into the process of achieving success together. Compared to the past, when we sometimes lacked experience and confidence, this year’s team has both. They’ve competed against all kinds of opponents and know what it takes, so it really comes down to how well we execute together. We’ve also learned how to respond to challenges by running toward them instead of away. The girls have found the courage to be gritty and learned how to overcome obstacles together.

One of our biggest strengths this season is our depth and chemistry. Every player is ready to contribute, no matter their role that night. Each athlete brings value whether it’s on the court or from the bench, and that makes us stronger as a team. These girls care deeply about one another and are always finding ways to help, uplift, and encourage their teammates to succeed.

I’m excited to watch them compete and see their hard work pay off. The competition in our district is tough, but that makes it fun. Every team is playing high level volleyball, and we’ve been working hard to meet that standard and win the big battles. I truly believe in all of these girls as they’re a bright light in my life. They love to learn, they want to improve, and they have fun doing it together. I feel blessed to coach them every day, and I pray they’ll see all of their hard work come to fruition!”

Football finished their non-district schedule on a high note after flying away with an impressive win over Veterans Memorial.

Kudos to both Offensive & Defensive Lines with a strong showing in keeping the Hawk’s QB Jace Wheeler protected and defensively keeping a potent rushing attack by the Patriots and reducing those explosive plays.

Let’s GO LAKE & BEAT’EM ALL !

Hawk’s Take Flight Over Patriot’s Ground Game, 49-14

Saturday, September 20th, 2025

(L-R) Isiah Eureste, JR Lindell and Jace Wheeler were 3 of the team’s amigos that dismantled Veterans, 49-14! Way to Go Lake!

 

Canyon Lake took  flight to outrun the Veterans Memorial’s Patriots, 49-14 finishing their non-district schedule, 3-1 with eyes on JFK Rockets next week to start district play.

The Hawks evened their record at two wins a piece against this 5A foe and with this victory reached the 100 plateau for this 18 year old high school.

When adding up these last two contests against Veterans it has been, The Lake, that has imposed their offensive mite scoring 126 points which comes to 1.3 points per minute.

 

QB Jace Wheeler's two game Patriot stat line:

Team        Comp  Att  Pct  Yds  Int  TD
Patriots    42    57  .737  804  1    11

CLHS had two receivers surpass 200 yds receiving hurdle:

                 No   Yds   Lg   TD
Carter Williams   8   250   72   5
Peyton King      10   224   82   3

Your Hawk’s offense was efficient throughout this evening while CL’s special teams pitched in scoring twice on opponent’s punt plays.

                          Let’s Go Lake!

CL’s first drive went 75 yards with King catchingt 4 passes for 69 yards and a quick Hawk, 7-0 lead.

On a Special Team side: JR Lindell went untouched to block Veteran’s first punt attempt and decided to take this play to the house going 33 yards to pay dirt. That score had The Lake entering halftime with a, 21-14 lead.

Veterans offense was a potent ground game that had the home team answering both of CL’s first drives. With both plays, break aways, going for 65 and 71 yards. Speed kills…

This contest would still be dicey with Veterans starting their 2nd stanza with the ball.

Defensive Coordinator Kurt Sloan had other plans after halftime adjustments when the Hawk’s worked a 3 play and punt sequence.

Canyon Lake responded with a 5 play 66 yard drive that had 4 pass plays using Lucas Schexnayder (2 catches for 20 yards) and King (2 catches for 44 yards) and score that gave some breathing room for the Hawk Nation, 28-14.

After that score the game  had both teams exchanging punts for their next 5 series which culminated with a Patriot Punter botching a snap and Isiah Eureste taking it from there going 32 yards clinching a score to start the 4th quarter.

Eureste ended this battle with two fumble recoveries and can also be hired out if Hawk families might need a pick-up service. A linebacker that plays all-over-the-field with unbounding energy that produces positive results each week.

CL’s Defense forced another punt after a Vet Memorial 5 play drive…Canyon Lake’s response?

                       Way to Go Hawks!

How bout a one-play catch and run for King this time going 82 yards giving the Lake a, 42-13 advantage.

That 82 yard pass play was the 3rd longest from back in those old days that had Matt Magness traveling 88 yards (he lost his shoe on that play) and Chance Martelli’s 93 yards (if you need more details on his catch then talk with his Dad…he will use a lot of emotion).

The Patriots had their best possession in the 2nd half for 10 plays traveling 45 yards but the Lake’s defense snuffed it out on their 35 yard line.

Enter Running Back Chris Brown who took the last offensive snap for 37 yards and the final score, 49-14.

A complete game that had all three phases in this game being in full display. Oh yeah, that QB (Wheeler) also takes snaps as CL’s punter and he unloaded on a 61 yarder while also pinning the opponent deep in their territory. Wheeler finished this contest with a 42 yard average and has a 40 yard season average.

Jack Stracener continues his strong kicking this season and has moved into 3rd place in made pat’s with 76 and with more games to improve that standing.

The Lake will be on the road at JFK next Friday to open district play…Let’s GO LAKE BABY!

                           GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake had a good week last week with Volleyball sweeping their two contests and now has one foe left against an always tough La Vernia (26-8) at the Hawk Nest. These Bears have some impressive wins on their resume and have played and beaten several 5A & 6A schools.

One 4A school Davenport succumbed to this squad twice in a tournament and regular season.

The Lake had a rare 5 set win at Blanco before taking care of Randolph last Friday.

The Hawks will start district play next week with Freddie (Tuesday) and Long Creek (Friday)….these are two winnable games much needed by the Good Gals to get a needed jump in this tough district.

 

Standings Below:
District 26-4A
Wimberley       29    5   .853
Davenport       24    6   .800
Canyon Lake     16   10   .615
Fredericksburg  12   13   .480
Bandera         13   18   .419
Long Creek       6   16   .273

                       Let’s Go Lake!!!

Looking at these records and who each school played will show the top two being favorites with The Lake and Fredericksburg next in line with Bandera and Long Creek checking out the caboose.

Canyon Lake’s is two wins shy of their total last season and their absence in the post season should not give these Hawks a, we can handle these schools, attitude by not taking all the schools serious on the hard wood. That goes double for Bandera as this school has had the upper hand these past few years.  These Bulldogs have a, 7-3 record this decade against your Hawks.

In Football, The Lake finally got their game in gear in a comeback win over Navarro and this week will go on the road for their first time.

Veterans Memorial team that has won their last two contests by over 31 points. These Patriots opened their season with a no doubt spanking, 51-13 against Davenport as both schools finish their non-district play.

 

District 13-4A
Davenport       3-0
CL Hawks        2-1
Somerset        2-1
Pleasanton      2-1
Uvalde          2-1
Kennedy         2-1
Fredericksburg  0-3

The Billies are in the same boat as last year when they entered into district play, 0-4 but ended up in playoffs with a win over Canyon Lake. Freddie has played the second toughest schedule behind Davenport going into district.

You notice that 5 schools sporting a, 2-1 slate that will have a wait and see eye-ball calculations before district gets going after this week.

Fall sports start getting interesting in a week when Hawk fans start going to their phones for district results.

Have a Great Week & Let’s Go Lake!

           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.

Way to GO LAKE!

JV Hawks Went 6-Man Football Mode in, 48-20 Win over Navarro

Friday, September 12th, 2025

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!
