Canyon Lake went for their halftime break and returned as a different team as the Hawks could only generate 108 yards after intermission compared to their 224 yards in that first half.

Giddings also went into halftime and came out a different team as their defense controlled the line of scrimmage while they scored twice in the 4th quarter for the 13 point victory, 34-21.

“They (Giddings) taught us a lesson and that is why we scheduled a team like this,” Head Coach Charlie Drum said. “We made more mistakes in the second half and they just came out in the second half and whipped us….we just did not match them in that 2nd half.”

On what Canyon Lake will need to do as the Battle of the Backbone Game comes calling next week in Wimberley.

“We have to clean up mistakes,” Coach Drum said succinctly.

Hawks Win Alpha-Omega Game against Giddings

Mountain Valley 8th Grade was able to split their game Giddings for the opening day of this year’s football season.

The Hawk ‘B’ squad had an alpha/omega game as Mountain Valley was able to score the first and last touchdown to salvage this contest, 14-06.

That first touchdown for MV would be their first drive covering 41 yards when Jake Peters crossed the goal line on a one yard run.

The drive was helped when Devyn Placeres was able to get around the edge for a 28 yard jaunt and setting up the Hawks with a first and goal from the 3 yard line. Two plays later, Peters was crossing the line for the first score of this year.

Hawks JV are now 3-0 after win over Giddings         (Photos by [email protected])

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity scoots to 3-0 record after scoring 32 unanswered points and leaving Giddings with a, 38-20 win.

The Hawks had some engine trouble in starting this game but once that motor was cleaned, Canyon Lake was unstoppable. Giddings was outrunning the flying Hawks 20-06 before the CL figured out they could outfly a running Buffalo.

Rolando Maronge had an interception (or hand off from the Buffalo receiver) while Giddings was holding onto a, 20-18 lead to start the second half. Maronge’s runback was finally stopped on the Hawk’s 7 yard line and new life to start this second half.

Bracken Christian out lasted Nueces Canyon by scoring 22 unanswered points in the 4th quarter in win, 86-41.

“At the start of the game it was drizzling so the ball was kind of slippery for both teams which led to a few fumbles,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic said. “Defensively, I think we did enough to stay in the game but my safeties were trying to give me a heart attack whenever they threw the ball deep.”

The game did start sloppy as both teams were having trouble holding onto the ball as the first series for Nueces Canyon was a fumble and the Warriors scored first with a Presley Day scored from 7 yards out.

Kicking 9 out of 10 bonus points had the Bracken faithful thinking what this might mean for future games as Paul Nakalanga had the first try blocked but was perfect for the remainder of this contest.

Hawks entering game with Austin Reagan in win , 42-16           (mjrphotog.com)

Canyon Lake controlled the 2nd quarter in their win over Austin Reagan at the Hawk Nest, 42-16.

The Hawks allowed the Raiders just one offensive play in that 2nd stanza and the play turned out to be an interception as CL scored 21 points and retaking the lead for good.

Reagan was very business like in working a 10-7 lead after a 27 yard field goal with 1:30 left in the quarter.

That field goal drive was the Raiders second longest on this night as they controlled this drive with 14 plays while moving the ball 60 yards. Canyon Lake helped Reagan with several penalties on this drive.

“We let them off the hook and if we do that in the next few weeks then that is how we can get beat,” Head Coach Charlie Drum said in response to all the flags thrown to the ground. “A win is a win, but a sloppy game and dumb penalties will need to be corrected.”
