                   ===================================

Canyon Lake will be going into new territory on Thursday as the Hawks will play their first 6A school when they travel to Burger Stadium in play Austin Akins.

Hill Country Furnishings says way to go Hawks

The Eagles had an open date last week which will add another ornament on the tree of how CL will attempt compete with a team two classes larger.

Akins is on a two game losing streak after starting the season 2-0 with wins over two teams that have a combined 1-9 record. However that sounds familiar to CL’s schedule as they too started their season 2-0 and those two teams now sport a 2-8 slate.

The Eagles offense has averaged 15 passes a game and 92 yards through the air. That comes to 6 yards per attempt and Akins will have 3 players that will dominate the reception of those throws.

The ReSporter: What is the overall attitude for the team as they prepare for a 6A school this Thursday?

       Head Coach Charlie Drum

Coach Drum: “Practices after a win always help with the enthusiasm in practice. The boys are excited about playing a 6A team, and hopefully play with great energy.”

The ReSporter: What were some good things you took away from last week’s win over Lampasas?

Coach Drum: “Two things. Our special teams were definitely a plus, we were perfect on extra points and recovered an onside kick while cleanly recovering two of their onside kicks. Secondly, the way our offense took over the second half, controlling the clock and scoring points.”

The ReSporter: It seems that Akins running game is a little more advanced than their passing game, how do you see there offense? (more…)

Micah St. John enjoying some room to run in win over Badgers            (photo by mjrphotog.com)

Canyon Lake took the Badgers to the cleaners in their Thursday night win, 42-34. As there were many flags flying on this night with both squads totaling 20 penalties which added up to 200 yards.

Lampasas won this penalty battle after finishing with 115 yards of step offs with personal foul infractions out the wazoo.

The Hawks controlled the line of scrimmage which helped with long drives and the special teams were special in this win, stopping a 2 game skid as CL prepares for a 6A team in Austin next Thursday.

“The special teams won this game by giving CL that extra possession,” Head Coach Charlie Drum started. “The offensive line came out and helped control this game and that helped us control the clock and score in the red zone.”

Bracken Christian kept a Giddings State School at arms length in their win, 36-32 on Friday night.

The Indians will have a team that could be different every game based on what type of week those young man might have experienced on those previous days leading up to game time.

In other words many of those players will miss a game or two during their 2016 schedule that are not always injury related.
