Josh DeVries had 4 touchdowns in win over Boerne

There was a test-tube experiment for Canyon Lake as the crowd at Hawk Stadium was seeing a ‘microcosm’ of their season in this one game.

You remember how this year started with six losses and each part of their game suffered.

Offense was clinking to start the season, then it was the defense turn as they were giving a bus load of points and how about those games where the special teams were not that special.

This game had it all as Canyon Lake started by allowing the Greyhounds to return a kick-off to the Hawks 32 yard line….then the defense was defenseless while playing Ole defense as Boerne waltzed down the field in just 5 plays for a score.

Mountain Valley 7th A team had a hard time getting traction in loss to Boerne, 12-8.

This was the Hawks first loss this season and will now have to regroup has they prepare for Navarro in the season final next week.

Boerne was in the MV’s huddle for several plays as the Greayhound defensive line was in the Hawks backfield on several plays causing little or no gain.

Tristan Chacon had an excellent game defensively and also was able to work a 8 yard average per rush attempt.

The defense did hold Boerne below the century mark, but that consolation prize will not ease or change the final score.

Mountain Valley Hawks 7th Grade ‘B’ Squad had way more than the Greyhounds could handle in a

redemption game win, 28-12 last Thursday at Hawk stadium.

In their first game, MV suffered their first loss of the year in Boerne but after the few first plays, fans knew that this game might have a different result.

Mountain Valley’s offensive stats would of fit onto a 6-Man football field on this day as each play run averaged over 12 yards. In the game earlier this year, the fumble was the kryptonite for the Hawks but in this game, Mountain Valley still had three fumbles but even that Kryptonite was not lethal for the superhuman efforts and resolve to redeem themselves from that loss.

MV’s first drive had running back Devon Morehead with two runs of 30 and 31 yards, the last run paving a path to the end zone the Hawks would enjoy for the rest of this night. Morehead finished with 109 yards on just 8 carries.

Morehead’s first run was unique in how the defender just ran with Devon but could not take him down…it looked like a new dance routine.

“I felt like hew was running with me,” Morehead recounted. “Towards the end of my run I was just trying at least gain as many yards as I could. The offensive line stepped up for sure today.”

You want to talk about a team that has the most improvement this season? The Hawk

Scary Offensive Lineman, #71 Allen Vavrecka and #77 Alaijah Canales

Freshman have The ReSporters vote, as this team is out manned each week yet they have come together to give opponents a run for their hard fought win.

“Those two turnovers deep on their side of the field hurt us,” Head Freshman Coach John Barthels said. “We moved the ball all night.”

This game actually had an extra 0:04 seconds added to the game clock after the buzzard sounded ending the first half, an erroneous call on a play allowed Boerne an extra play that was scored with no time left on the clock.

The play in question was a mistake by the head ref in running the clock and then giving the Greyhounds a phantom 4 more seconds. Then that extra play had Boerne having their snap before the play had been blown back into action.

Bracken Christian Warriors avoided a trap game in their contest with Kerrville OLH pulling out a win, 60-44.

“This was a good win,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “This will assure us of a second place finish in District and a possible first round playoff with Sugarland Logos Prep.

Noah Boriack scored six times and rushed for 316 yards in the win as this Warrior also decided to intercept two passes for the icing on the cake.

“This game was Boriack’s best game at Bracken,” Coach Fields continued. “Of course he had a break out game running but his two interceptions was also a testament of his good game. At halftime I thought this game would have over 80 points scored in it.”

Back in 2008, Canyon Lake started their first year of varsity football and during that campaign the Hawks lost 9 games as CL was overmatched against their Senior laden opponents.

Since that inaugural year, Canyon Lake has returned the favor in winning all but one game….Wimberley.

 First Year                                Payback Game

Canyon Lake beat Ingram both years in district and Brandeis was the other loss and since that school is a couple of classifications above Canyon Lake, then a payback game for them will not be on any radar.

Mountain Valley 7th A Team Taking in Coaches Talk after Win over Wimberley, 38-22

Mountain Valley 7th B Squad Takes Air out of Ball in Win over Wimberley

Mountain Valley’s 7th B team played lock down defense in the second half to wrestle the lead and win over Wimberley last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium, 16-12.

The Texans led the total yardage stat at halftime by a slim 9 yard cushion, 86-77 yards.

Then the second half had that same defense take the Texans to New Mexico when they held Wimberley to a total of 3 yards and goose eggs for the remainder of this game.

That defense allowed Mountain Valley to stage a 12 play 68 yard drive when Devon Morehead crossed the goal line for the eventual winning touchdown.

“They could not stop us because our line blocked so well,” Morehead said while using his head. “We did a great job and and we got better.”

On that fourth down interception, Morehead commented, “All I saw was the ball going straight and I just went after it.”

Canyon Lake Freshman team has sent a letter to the UIL, so they will look at taking the second quarter

Charlie McIntosh taking a break after 67 yard kick-off return agains Wimberley

out of the game of football.

With a affirmative to that request the Hawks would of had a tie game, 20-20.

The Hawks were also lethal on kick-off returns as they had over 250 return yards when Charlie McIntosh ran a kick-off back for their final score 67 yards.

“I was watching my blockers, (Kennith)Jowers, (Allen) Vavrecka, (Austin) Brooks and started jogging waiting for a hole to open up,” McIntosh started. “As soon as the hole opened, Austin Brennan started yelling at me to run…run…run.”

Canyon Lake has perfected the return and heaven knows they had a lot of practice in this game with Wimberley.

Bracken has righted their ship as the Warriors opened with 36 straight points in a win over CASA, 67-21 at Warrior Stadium last Friday night.

“I thought we needed this ball game going into our game with OLH next week,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We had to rethink our philosophy and our grind it out football but this game we were very business like.”

It was homecoming for Bracken Christian and some of those former players saw a familiar offense in this game.

BCS has been a grind it out type of team and on this night the Warriors had three straight drives consisting of one play for a score. For the game, Bracken had four one play drives and one two play drive.

That was a vintage Warrior night for this Homecoming crowd.

The Rams started the game throwing an interception on their third play when Sam Hilgendorf snagged the errant pass that gave BCS a chance to draw first blood.

Sophomore Running Back Robert Woods running over Bandera

Hawks take Bulldogs for a walk as this year’s version of CL football won their first game with what you could call a complete game victory in Bandera, 27-6.

“We beat them up physically and that was our plan,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “It is easy to give up when you are 0-6 overall and 0-1 in district, we have learned from what we have done this season…we knew that we would have to come out strong and we played a solid first quarter and we had some big plays.”

Complete Win for the Hawks.

First off, Canyon Lake’s new offense chewed up yardage on the ground with 367 yards at a 7 yard per carry clip.

Second off, Canyon Lake’s defense held Bandera to the lowest yardage total in Hawk history as these Bulldogs never got out of their back yard with just 109 yards of offense.
