Josh DeVries in game with La Grange

Canyon Lake loses their first District 27-3A contest, 38-14 as the Hawks could not translate their total yards into points.

“They (Fredericksburg) came out ready to play and we didn’t,” Head Coach Charles Drum said. “We got knocked down in the first round tonight, they had 14 points just like that… but we have four more rounds to get in this fight and it is not over.”

“This was just our first district game and we can even our record next week,” Coach Drum said confidently. “This game was the story of our season, we can’t make our 3rd downs and we could not stop their 3rd downs.”

The Hawks out gained the Billies but when you can’t capitalized that aspect of this game, then those numbers don’t mean much.

victory completing a Hawk sweep of our neighbors from the west.

This game had a slow start as Mountain Valley was 1 for 3 on scoring after acquiring the ball from the Billies.

Two penalties on MV first drive helped in getting a dose of reality and an empty opportunity of taking control of this game early.

To put it simply, Mountain Valley had a Ruff start to this affair.

back on the winning track as they whitewashed the Billies, 22-0 last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.

The Hawk rushing attack averaged right at 8 yards per carry as Conner Rose and Landry Moore continued to punish Fredericksburg on the ground.

Rose hit the century mark with 117 yards while averaging almost 20 yards per touch. Likewise Moore was also successful needing just 4 yards for a chance to have two runners with 100 yards in one game.

It did not take Mountain Valley long to establish the run as Rose took the ball on the second play from scrimmage and did not finish running until he had crossed the goal line, 51 yards later.

Hawks in game earlier this season over Lockhart.

Hawks Volleyball can’t get any momentum in loss to Texans last Tuesday night in Wimberley.

1999/2001/2002/2003/2006/2007 are years of banners in the Texan gym telling you of their past State Champions in the Sport of Volleyball.

This year Wimberley is ranked as high as 3rd in Texas and if you took one phase that Head Coach Kim Paisley wants from her team is consistency.

Consistency is what you see in every game with Wimberley and that is what will propel them in games against the Hawks and other district opponents.

Canyon Lake opened this contest when they had a 20-19 lead in the later stages of the first game.

Hawks defending in game with Llano earlier this season.

Hawks shocked Boerne in their first game, 25-18, but could not hold their momentum as Boerne won the next three games to win this match, 3-1.

Canyon Lake came out on fire as they shot themselves out of a cannon with a 9-1 lead that was stretched to a 21-10 advantage as the Hawks coasted for that first win.

The Hawks have been on the short end of matches for the last two years and their demeanor has been weak as games have been played in the recent past.

But this team has something special and there will be a game that will shock this district and this series with Boerne.

The carnage started after the opening kick-off as the Mountain Valley 8th Grade A team put a whuppin on the Boerne Greyhounds at Hawk stadium.

A 63 yard 3 play drive to start the game had this Hawk team out of the gate and leaving behind a Greyhound team that looked more like a Brownhound.

Two runs gaining 18 yards from Micah St. John and then a burst right through the middle of an offensive line that controlled Boerne by Ben Fulton and Mountain Valley was putting these Greyhounds on a Bus before they had a chance to enter their race.

“I don’t think I would of had those yards if it wasn’t for my offensive line and (Luke) Justis blocking for me,” Running Back Fulton said.

Defense was also very apparent for MV when they held Boerne to a lofty (-11) yards of total offense in that first half.

CL Hawks win first District 27-3A contest over Bandera last Tuesday night at Mountain Valley Middle School, 25-12, 25-17, 21-25, and 25-18.

This was a must win as CL had already had one loss to Navarro to start the season and a loss to Bandera would put the Hawks in a deep hole.

This district presently has four teams that rank in the Top 25 according to Texas Girls Coaches Association.

The Bulldogs from Bandera and Canyon Lake are the only two teams in district that have not made that lofty position which tells you the importance of this contest.

Bracken Christian Bagged the Jags on Saturday night in a nail biter, 34-27.

Senior Quarterback Sam Hilgendorf

“This game hinged on three key plays,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields fielded. “The last drive we had showed we have character, we had two tough series near the end of the game on offense and defense, and all of our young man played well.”

This game started with a two play drive from the feet of Running Back Noah Boriack when he had his first run go for 52 yards and helping the Warriors draw first blood.

Boriack would end this game with 5 touchdown runs and that will put him with some pretty good company in BCS lore.

Canyon Lake could not hold the water back as the Bulldogs scored 27 unanswered points, losing 34-7 on a soggy Homecoming night at Hawk Field.

“We have to figure out how to cut out those little things,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We can’t overcome penalties and turnovers and we are lacking in getting big plays.”

These two former district foes from days gone by were still locked into an anyone can win contest well into the third quarter as Burnet just led 13-7 with three minutes left in that quarter.

Then the proverbial dam broke with a rush of passes as Burnet’s Quarterback Derek Kiser passed for 289 yards to finish off the Hawks.

Sometimes a team is just better than what is put out on the field and after this game, the Hawks can safely say this is the case.
