Nathan DeLeon is all smiles after finding his afterburners in pursuit of a Cougar

Canyon Lake Freshman moved their record to 3-0 after beating San Antonio Cole, 16-8 on a rainy day at the Hawk Nest.

The game was delayed well over an hour before the teams would enter the field but the good news was the 79 degrees temperature when the kick-off, kicked-off.

CL Hawks would not take long before they would score on their first possession when Chance Martelli recovered a Hawk fumble in the end zone for the score.

Using the word recover is a misnomer as Martelle would just pick the ball off the turf and raise it in the air.

Coaches Corner with the Hawk’s Charley Drum

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: I know you are young and starting a Sophomore at QB, what do you do to help his passing as he does not seem to have found his touch.

Coach Drum: “We just need to get him comfortable….he had good games in the scrimmages and now he is in real time friday night lights. He is trying to make the perfect pass and he will become more of a threat with more throwing.”

The ReSporter: You have already seen several key players go down with an injury, how will you adjust as this season continues?

Coach Drum: “Injuries are part of the game and sometimes you have better years and sometimes you don’t. We had Gordon (McCleary) go down last week and that had us bring up (Austin) Rodriguez up from the freshman team.” (more…)

Robert Woods running for 123 yards in game with Smithville last year

Canyon Lake will be in the same position as last season in need of another win to break the .500 mark and ready themselves for their district campaign.

The Hawks cannot afford to go to sleep on this game since they have not been setting the world on fire themselves, but Marion did match their win total for all of last year when they beat Karnes City last week.

Daniel Forgione is looking to pass his Coach (brother) on the all-time rushing list

Bracken Christian Woo Hits Victoria Cobras in , 52-19 win at Warrior Stadium last Friday night to start their season 2-0.

It happened near the end of the game when Sophomore Cristian DeLeon laid a hit on the Cobra kick-off return man right after picking up the ball. A woo hit that excited, new head football coach, Hosea Stredic.

“We finally hit somebody,” and that hit had several people, including Coach Stredic, pumping his fist in the air and exclaiming, Woooo!!!!

“Don’t get me wrong, we teach the kids how to tackle and we have been doing that, but we are tackling without hitting….the team has been swarming to the ball to get a tackle. When you have a hit available then you need to make it a woo hit and then you can hear everyone in the stands say, ‘wooo’.”

It was the Cobra’s that got the first woo when they took their second possession for a score for their first and only lead of the game.

Quarterback Brady Beene was off on his first pass of the game which resulted in an interception, giving the Cobras the ball and eventual score on their next possession.

Beene did not have one of his best games passing as he missed on some wide open receivers but he also responded when needed for this win.

Defensive End Tyler McCleary making himself known in game with the Tigers

Canyon Lake’s, the Young and the Restless, came alive in the second half beating the Smithville Tigers, 25-14 for their first win of the season.

“This team cannot use the ‘we are young’ any longer and that excuse can’t go on,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We did not play with any juice starting the game….but we showed it in the second half.”

The Tigers had a total of 12 offensive plays in that second half with a total of 30 yards as the Hawks controlled the ball for 20 of the 24 minutes in the second stanza. To be exact, CL> 19:50 and Smithville > 4:10.

That first half had the Tigers with a 14-7 lead after scoring on a 34 yard pass play with no time left on the clock.

The Tigers made the most of their opportunities in that first part of the game as their passing offense had 180 yards, capped off by a 62 yard catch run to the Hawk’s 1 yard line in scoring the first touchdown in this game.

Smithville had 217 halftime yardage and finished the game with just 30 more yards in that second half.

Defensive Ends, Robert Woods and Tyler McCleary had so many sacks that HEB said they had a job for life in sacking if they wanted that opportunity.
