Canyon Lake is digging their 6-2 start to this season

This Week @ Canyon Lake

The Hawks had a decent week with a 3rd place finish in Volleyball, finishing, 6-2 for the week.

CL fashioned a 6 game winning streak during the Tex-Fest Wimberley tournament after missing by one game for a chance of playing for the championship game.

Canyon Lake will be waiting to see what the prognosis for Senior Outside Hitter, Addison Farley, who turned her ankle right before the Semifinal game with Peaster was about to start.

With that loss, Canyon Lake had to revamp their line-up and just could not muster enough to take that match.

Hawks hold their own in scrimmage with Gonzales last Friday at Hawk Stadium.

Canyon Lake will be using younger players when the season starts in two weeks and that was certainly noted in the Friday scrimmage.

Chris Schultz and Matthew O’Connell ready go dish out some pain

“I was pleased on how our scrimmage went,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We were wide eyed and I thought we matched them punch for punch.”

With the youth age upon the Hawks being wide eyed is certainly something that might have been expected as Canyon Lake suited up some players that were waiting another 2 weeks last season as 8th graders to find their jersey number.

A well oiled machine will not be expected at this time of year as the Hawks also search for a quarterback and two running backs lost in last year’s senior class.

Between those players lost, Canyon Lake, will need to replace 74% of their rushing yards and a whopping 86% of yards gained by the forward pass.

Hawks are 16 days away from suiting up

Canyon Lake is busily working each day for their first scrimmage this coming Friday at Hawk Stadium and from all indications the practices are going well.

The Hawks will be a young team this season, but conversely, that younger group of players have a lot of talent or that proverbial word……potential.

The ReSporter had a series of Hurdle articles this Summer and will be bumping them back to the front page as we get closer to the start of the season.

Those slow starts was the first of those series and that next hurdle article will be bumped up today.

This Week @ Canyon Lake

The Hilltop ReSporter will try to have a weekly ‘This Week’, like is done during the Spring.

You will be able to come back to this page for score updates with each passing day and many times the score will be reported on this page before the write-up will be posted.

The ReSporter would also like to remind many of you that if you would like to ‘Ad’ on this site then to be eligible for the Advertiser’s Football Pick’em Contest the time to get aboard is August 21st.

Just a reminder that the cost for having an ‘Ad’ is $50 per semester and if you pay an extra $35 then your Ad will be added to articles written. Many advertiser’s will tell The ReSporter if they have a preference on the type of article they would like to be seen.

The ReSporter had more readership this past year with 26,754 pages consumed vs. 22, 954 the previous school year.

There were 8,287 users which also topped the previous year by over 800 people.

This is a break even business and helping in this way would keep The ReSporter having the site turned into a subscription bases.

Canyon Lake’s football season had their first intra-squad scrimmage this past Saturday as the first week of practice came to a close.

Senior Matt Adams will be all over the field as he looks to add running back to his resume

The Hawks will be a young team this year after losing 25 seniors on graduation day and returning 8 offensive/defensive starters from last season.

Good news is how well the Junior Varsity squad played in 2014 and a loaded Sophomore class that will more than be ready to take their next step in replacing those players.

“Were young,” Head Coach Charley Drum stated after the scrimmage. “We look young and we were a good JV team today….but we had a good week of practice and we are now in the process of finding the pieces for this year’s team.”

Canyon Lake will go into their third year of the slot-T and that will help this young group of players in their adjustment time.

Rendition of what the Hawk Tunnel will look like

This past Saturday the CLHS Football team s players and Dad’s had another Car Wash Fundraiser to help gather funds for the new Hawk run through tunnel for the Varsity games and hit the $1101.00 dollar mark. The Family Dollar Store, ORielys Automotive in Sattler and CVS in Startzville again came through in true Hawk spirit and allowed the Football teams to hold the event from 0930 -230pm. The Store Managers Ms. Faye Kuykendall at the Family Dollar Store, Wendy Rohimeier at ORielys and Johnny Laho of CVS in Startzville all are huge CL Hawk supporters and have committed to come to some of the football games this season.

The two Car Wash fund raisers put on by the football team generated over $3,600.00 in working donations which is more than half needed for the CLHS Hawk Tunnel. “It is great to see these young men working to earn their way towards this new tunnel in which putting a little skin in the game themselves , this will build a sense of accomplishment, pride, team work and community awareness in the sense that they will pass down this new tradition which will add the CL spirit”, said Mr. Martelli who help organize both events with Rufus Woods.

Seniors Dylan Hodges, Austin Camacho, Roberts Woods showed CL leadership by their action by working at both Saturdays fundraisers as did Sophomores -Micah St.John , Ross Snowden and Tanner Faris. Sr. and Three Year Varsity Letterman Robert Woods said, “We wanted to show the community, our Coaches, the school and our teammates that we could step up to the challenge and do our part for this new tunnel but also to start build traditions for others to follow”. Each person getting a car wash received a 2015 Football schedule and was asked to attend at least one home game if possible.

CLHS football Alumni Tristan (Woody) Woodruff and Hayden Dubios showed up and donated their time and money towards this new tunnel. “Woody stated that “I wish more players would take pride in CL not for only a season but for their entire up bringing here at Canyon Lake and understand that what we have going on here is really cool, ya just gotta get into their heads early on”.

Team mates Eathan Killgore (Soph) Wesley Madzy (Soph), Jacob Foster(Soph) and Caimen McDonough(Soph.) all pitched in Saturday as well as Chris Shultz (Sr.), Austin Brennan(Sr.)Haden Lee(Sr.) and Dylan Dittman(Sr.). Heath McDonough and Colton McDonald were the only two Juniors to ever show up in both car washes as was Jordan Burke was the only (Fresh) there to represent this past Saturday. Last week Freshman Cameron Hebert, Chance Martelli and Tristan Chacon came out to work to put their time in.

A big thank you goes out to Mr Woods, Mr Faris and Mr. Martelli for being supportive and helping put in time for both of these Car Washes.

The new Hawk Tunnel has been ordered and will be able to be delivered by August -17th upon completion. The final payment to get the delivery of the Hawk Tunnel must be made by August 12th here to CLHS on time for this season “Meet the Hawks” on August -21st. So if you’re going to donate please do so now at the information listed below. Mr. Woods stated that “there are many people who said they are going to donate but have yet to do so thus far. If we could get some of these folks to come to the table then we will be on target in getting the total needed to remit final payment”. As of now the CLHS Football still needs to generate about $3,600.00 by the August 12th deadline, it’s as simple as that.
Each person or business contributing a tax deductable donation will have their name(s) listed in this year’s sports program under a special section on the New Hawk Tunnel.
If you are business or parent in the Football pipeline which your boy(s) will run through this tunnel and are willing to donate towards the Tunnel Fund go to www.CLHSABC.com and click Hawk Tunnel through Pay Pal. All donations are Tax deductable through the CLHS Booster Clubs 501(c)3 – CLHS ABC 8555 FM 32 Fischer Texas 78623, memo : Hawk Tunnel.

CL Hawk Defense can be a big reason for hitching a ride to more playoff rounds

The ReSporter has compiled team and individual stats for the defensive side of the ball.

The Defense does not get as much press as the offensive side of the ball and so The ReSporter wanted to rectify that mistake and show off this group of players.

Jacob Ruff, Austin Rodriguez, and Tristan Chacon ready to go to FBU

The ReSporter had a press release earlier this week for three former Mountain Valley football players that will be in their debut season playing for Canyon Lake High School.

In that back drop The ReSporter wanted to have a chance for a more in depth interview with these three players.

Hope you enjoy reading more about these three future Hawks.

The ReSporter: How many students were at the camp you had that gave you a chance to compete in Ohio?

Jacob Ruff: “There was about 300 at each of their camps.”

The ReSporter: How many camps does DBU have during that time around the country?
