Thinking back on better nights as Robert Woods takes down a Smithville Quarterback

CL Hawks get badgered in loss to Lampasas, 42-14.

“We did not show up in the first half and we got whipped,” Head Coach Charley Drum stated. “Our effort wasn’t there we have to learn from it.”

Lampasas’ offense was a well oiled machine against Canyon Lake on this night as they ran all night long without much resistance.

“All of us are to blame as we need to figure it out,” Coach Drum continued. “We just had some success after the Marion game when we faced Wimberley and we did not handle that success very well…..we will need to heal up and get back to work and fix our bad habits.”

Canyon Lake was a no-show on Friday night as there was, nothing to see here, as they were drawing chalk around a Hawk on the sidewalk.

Brent Hemphill and Jeremiah Soliz taking care of business as an undefeated season

The Canyon Lake Freshman team continued their winning ways through non district play Thursday night against the Lampasas Badgers on their home turf, but in a most unlikely fashion of what seemed like the Texas two step all night long scoring a, 29-8 win.

Having home field advantage when you’re from Lampasas is definitely an advantage over a team, especially as you travel from Canyon Lake and the sand man keeps you drowsy on the bus all the way to kickoff time, or so it would seem.

The Badgers opened up on offense to begin the game and methodically as they drove the Hawks backwards on their heels after starting off with good field position on a failed onside kick from the Hawk’s forty nine yard line.

The Badgers picked up 18 yards on four plays and got help from a Hawk defense with a fifteen yard personal foul and putting the Badgers just outside the twelve yard line after a couple small gains up the middle.

After a false start by the Badgers and a team tackle by Triston Chacon and Greyson Lee, the badgers faced a second and eleven in which their pass ended incomplete.

The Hawk defense came to life after a wall of Hawk jerseys piled up the middle for a one yard gain.

Fullback Rolando Maronge helped in dispatching the Badgers finding Gold

The Canyon Lake Gold team that is mixed full of sophomores and freshman struck Gold by winning Thursdays game against the Lampasas Badgers, 22-0.

The CL Gold team started the game on offense and probably because of the long bus rides being still asleep as their first offensive series ended up with -3 yards and an interception on the Hawks own 41 yard.

As the Badgers took the field and moved down field for 29 yards, they had a holding call but 19 yards later it appeared it would pay off until Linebacker Charles Madzy for CL stepped up and sacked the Badgers for a 5 yard loss igniting a sleeping giant and turning away the Badgers from a score.

The Hawks got the ball on a turnover of downs and never looked back.

The Hawks first two runs from the line of scrimmage totaled 52 yards and after a holding call Johnny Soliz took the pig skin home from 17 yards out for the first score for Canyon Lake.

After this point the meager Badger offense had six possessions and averaged 18.5 yards per possession with six first downs totaling 111 yards for the night.

The MVMS Hawks came to Lampasas to run down the Badgers but it was the Badgers who took down the Hawks, 16-0.

The Hawks immediately felt the sting of a badger defense on their first possession, as the Hawks moved the ball down field 32 yards only to have a fumble ruin their début in Badger country come to an end.

Once the Badgers got the ball on their first possession it took six plays to score and to tac on a two point conversion.

The Hawks would mount some offensive drives in this game all evening long but costly penalties and an oversized defensive line of the Badgers held tight and kept the Hawks out of the end zone for this bout.

Coaches giving instructions after tough loss to Lampasas

Canyon Lake’s JV team had a rough time in their game with Lampasas as the Hawks could not get going when the Badgers scored the first 20 points and the win, 20-6.

“We haven’t looked that bad all year,” Head JV Coach John Barthels stated. “We did not create, it was Lampasas doing the creating.”

The game started with CL having the ball and losing a fumble on their second snap. CL did not seem in this game as some coffee might have helped on this evening.

Lampasas would methodically march down the field for 50 yards in 10 plays with one 14 yard burst for some added flavor for that Badger first score.

Roberto Vargas totaled 163 yards of offense in the Hawk’s loss to Lampasas

Mountain Valley 8th Grade A squad started with a bang but could not hold off the Badgers in a 8 point loss, 28-20.

Running Back Roberto Vargas started the game with a 40 yard touchdown run on the Hawks first offensive play but that excitement was greeted with some reality pills as Lampasas would answer all night until the end of the game with the lead.

That first drive for the Badgers had some good news for the MV when the defense forced a fumble giving the Hawks a chance to start with that one play drive.

Lampasas answered MV’s first score with a 6 play 47 yard drive to tie the game three minutes later in that same quarter.

Mountain Valley would have their longest drive in terms of plays on their next drive, going 13 plays and a 21 yard pass from QB Cody Kline to a wide open Vargas and another lead.

This drive had MV converting two 4th down plays before the pass play for a touchdown.

Mountain Valley 8th Grade B Team Ran over the Clock in their win over the Badgers, 30-0

Mountain Valley 8th Grade B squad won this game as soon as it started as the Hawks jumped out to a 22 point lead with in the first and coasted for the win over the Badgers, 30-0.

MV scored on their very first play when Paul Martinez soared across the goal line from 35 yards out.

That one play drive would happen again when Colton Eilers touched the ball for his only time during the game and made it count when he darted for his TD run from 33 yards out.

In between those two one play drives, Martinez would strike during that second drive from 27 yards this time as the referees were giving the clock keeper the ole, ‘run the clock’ and let’s go home signal.

“I was just doing my job,” Martinez said with great resolve. “I really depended on the line to open up the hole and I felt pretty strong.” (more…)

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, congratulations on the win last week. Could you tell us how the practices have gone this week after that win over Wimberley?

Coach Drum: “There has been a lot more enthusiasm and you can tell the difference the way they start each day. It was like being paid for all the hard work you have done and they finally got the fruits from all that hard labor.”

The ReSporter: That had to be one of the largest crowds in Hawk history.

Coach Drum: “Yeah, our stadium holds 6000 and the last time I saw the stands like that was 5 years ago when we were playing Wimberley and we were both undefeated.”

The ReSporter: That game had to be a confidence builder for the team, especially Ben Fulton after the first half had all the negative things happening.

Coach Drum: “We talked at halftime to just settle down and he (Fulton) shoulders a lot of blame but our offense has so many other parts that are not based on the quarterback and so we just decided to have a safe pass to start the second half.” (more…)
