CL Hawks after win over Waco LaVega

Canyon Lake won their Bi-District game for the third time in a row as the Hawks walked all over the Plank(ton) Pirates of Waco LaVega, 49-26 last Friday night.

“This was our first complete game for this whole season,” Head Coach Charley Drum beat. “We dominated the whole game and it just shows you how a team with seniors versus a team that was lacking with seniors can help with that experience.”

The Hawks have made the playoffs for the fourth time and this was their third time of punching their ticket for the next round.

 Year      Game            Score       Record
 2010      Burnet          27-20       6-5
 2013      Pleasanton      24-21       4-7
 2014      Waco LaVega     49-26       5-6

It will be the next game that will make history for Canyon Lake, with a win, they will be realizing a goal of seeing just how high this playoff ladder will take this upstart group of players.

Spring Branch Football Standout Austin Rodriguez Selected To Play In The Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl

Youth Bowl Modeled After U.S. Army All-American Bowl

Rockaway, N.J. (November 11, 2015) – All American Games, Football University (FBU) and Eastbay are proud to announce that Offensive Guard Austin Rodriguez from Spring Branch (TX) has been selected to play at the 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl, taking place Saturday, December 20, 2014 in Naples, Florida. Rodriguez will suit up for the 8th Grade West squad this year in hopes of bringing a victory back to the West coast.
“We’re excited to see what Austin can do in the trenches this year; it’s safe to say the selection committee is expecting a lot from Rodriguez. He has proved that he can handle anything the defensive line throws at him and that’s why he has been selected to protect some of the best skill players in the nation.” said Erik Richards, FBU National Scouting Director.

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields:

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, hope your week is going well…speaking of which how has this week been going for the team?

Bracken Christian’s Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Coach Fields: “This will be the first time in a long while that we will have everyone ready and dressed for this week’s game.”

The ReSporter: That is certainly good to hear….what do you know about Conroe?

Coach Fields: “They have a number 15 that is a big boy and he and the team will run right at ya….they will get into some spread but for the most part they are a tight offense.”

The ReSporter: What else is there to know?

Coach Fields: “They are not very fast and they would remind you a lot of Temple team we played in our first game this season.”

The ReSporter: What is a key to this week’s game for Bracken?

Coach Fields: “We need to jump on them early and we can’t afford any turnover’s but if we can get a lead early then we have a chance of winning.” (more…)

Coaches Corner with CL’s Charley Drum:

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: Tell us where the team is mentally and physically for this week’s game?

Coach Drum: “We are pretty healthy, we have some nicks, but this is probably the best we have been health wise for this season.”

The ReSporter: I know Ian May was hurt last week, what is his status?

Coach Drum: “Ian had a season ending surgery and so he will be our only starter out for this game.”

The ReSporter: Who do you have to take May’s spot in the line?

Coach Drum: “We will probably have Freshman Jacob Foster.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about Waco LaVega.

Coach Drum: “They run a spread offense and they are young and fast….they are faster than Taylor and they have more kids that can move.” (more…)

Bracken Warriors did not play with a full deck in their loss to Cedar Park Eagles, 60-46 on Friday night.

Coy ‘Mr. Intensity’ Zunker

“We are running out of gas by the fourth quarter and with this being late in the season and with the defections it is making it hard,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “All of our players just get banged up and we just don’t have the bodies to rep ace them on the sidelines.”

BCS has been dealt a deck of cards with some aces missing this year as a lot of players decided to not play this season. That has left this Bracken team trying to stay fresh as each game matures into the second half.

Bracken has scored 312 points in that first half while giving up just 86 points for those same two quarters.

Robert Woods in run against Bandera earlier this year.

Like four of the five losses this year by seven or fewer points, the River Boat Gambler Hawks, needed just one touchdown for a win, losing to Boerne, 42-35.

“They (Canyon Lake) played their butts off tonight,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We have to learn to finish ball games…we were playing to win and we needed to make plays and that is something that we need to fix.”

The Hawks were either tied or led throughout this contest except when it mattered most, when the game clock hit 0:00.

 Losses this year with seven or fewer points:
 Wimberley      27-28
 Lampasas       14-21
 Liberty Hill   14-19
 Taylor         31-33
 Boerne         35-42

Mountain Valley 7th and 8th Grade Football teams completed their seasons with District Championships as the Greyhounds could only place in a ‘Dog Run’.

The MVMS 8th Grade started where they left off in their previous match-up with Boerne by applying that suffocating defense while the offense just ran up and down the field like they were Greyhounds.

The ReSporter had too many games on it’s plate on Thursday as the CL Volleyball Playoff game against Sealy took precedence on coverage.

However the following two articles were penned by Coaches Juan Lopez and Brandon Pawelek. Thanks Coaches for helping The ReSporter with these write-ups.
