Canyon Lake gets signature win over Boerne on Homecoming night winning, 41-38.

If the Hawks can look to a game that will help define this season then Boerne will be that answer as the Greyhounds had been ranked as high 17th in one poll and now with this Hawk victory, CL holds an inside track for a better than 4th place seed in this district race.

That is important as the first round games for the playoffs will have District 14-4A paired up with District 13-4A schools. Which have had as many as three teams in the top 10 this season.

CL last win over a team with a winning record at the end of the season came in their playoff game with Pleasanton 3 years ago and now the Hawks have won a conquest that they will be able to hang their Hat on.

The ReSporter: How is the team health wise as you enter the Boerne game?

Canyon Lake’s Coach Charley Drum

Coach Drum: “We are in good shape, just the usual bumps and bruises that come after 7 straight games.”

The ReSporter: Luck might not be a good word for this, but you have 3 games left and now have an off week between some games, knowing that most teams off date is in the middle of the schedule. Do you think this year’s bye week might help in how this team can finish better in district play?

Coach Drum: “We will learn a lot after this weeks game with Boerne, I expect a very intense and physical game. As we do the next week at Fredricksburg, so an off week before we finish up with Taylor may be ideal.” (more…)

Another week of Hawk activities is in the books and last week CL had some ups and downs.

Hawks Flying High & Beat Boerne

The Volleyball Team has now finished their first round of District 28-4A competition with one loss and still have a good chance of finishing 1st or 2nd.

With their loss to Fredericksburg, Canyon Lake will need to sweep the next round meaning a big road game at the Billies gym to have a chance of sharing the district crown or with the help of the other 3 teams having a chance of sitting alone on top.

The Billies are on a roll and finished the first round unscathed and now with an off date this Tuesday, CL will start their round with a home game against Boerne this Friday.

Bracken Christian clamped down on the Crusaders with their 6th win in a row, 40-0.

“I think we played pretty good looking at what we were up against,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic stated. “The officials kept the clock running the entire game and made some calls against us that I still cannot find on the game tape.”

This game was out of character for BCS as they doubled the number of infractions and yardage in this contest compared to what had been accumulated through this season.

SA Atonement did not have any offensive answers in matching the Bracken Warriors Defense after holding the home team with just 16 total yards and one first down.

      Go Hawks

Canyon Lake knows all to well what Eastside Memorial is going through this season by starting over with just enough players to fill one team by this time of their season.

The Hawks might not have suffered player wise as much as EM but one thing is for sure is that many schools were all over CL their first year of competition.

           Allowed Points 2008’s and Top Ten scored upon games.
