In a wild finish, only fit for Halloween night, the Canyon Lake JV Hawks lost a heartbreaker to Boerne 18-12 as the Greyhounds connected on a game-winning. 8-yard touchdown pass with just one second left to play.

With just under two minutes in the game, Canyon Lake stopped Boerne on a 4th and goal play and took over poised for a long, game-winning drive of their own.

Quarterback Skylar Tschoepe led the Hawks down the field with a variety of passes and scrambles.

However, the drive stalled on the Boerne 45 after Tschoepe was picked off on a long, 4th down pass attempt.

Boerne took over with 25 seconds left and immediately connected on a 30 yard pass play that moved the ball to the Canyon Lake 25. Two plays later they connected on another pass play over the middle for a winning score and one second on the clock.

Mountain Valley 8th Grade Team listens in after 24-16 Victory over Boerne

Mountain Valley 8th grade ‘B’ squad improved their record to 3-0-1 for District as they held off a fast closing Greyhound team at Hawk Stadium on Wednesday night, 24-16.

The game had a lot of fireworks to start this contest.

Boerne started with a fumble on their first play, then Mountain Valley responded with a one play 43 yard run from Jaden Balmos as he went through the Greyhounds like a Knight in a Chess game.

Balmos ended this game with 101 yards, with seven of his 11 carries going for eight yards or further. Pretty impressive for Balmos and a Hawk Offensive Line.

Andrew Neel had am impressive game as he threw a two point conversion to Brandon Courtney, staking a quick, 8-0 lead.

Charlie McIntosh had his second interception in as many games on the Greyhounds next set of downs.

Mountain Valley responded again with a 39 yard drive in seven plays with a Neel to Mason Blackburn 26 yard pass on a fourth down play when the Hawks were needing eight yards for a first down.

Bracken Christian got insurance for water at their CASA that helped them cruise to a 53-0 win in San Antonio last Friday night.

Once again, BCS scored on every possession during this water logged football field.

The Warriors have now scored on 17 consecutive drives in their last three games. The last drive BCS had that did not score was an interception in the fourth quarter of the Gustine game.

Actually, Bracken did not score with over two minutes left in this game Friday night because the Warriors took a knee to run out the clock.

BCS had no drive that took over four plays. Two drives that took four plays, two drives taking three plays, one drive with two plays, and three one play drives.

On those three one play drives, BCS had 128 yards or over half of their total number of yards for this game.

Bracken also played their first game without trying for the ‘Bonus’ point. “I would still like to have a 75% success rate with the point after,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.

Wide Receiver Doug Hubnik on his 22 yard reception to the 5 yard line

Canyon Lake lost the third round of their five round heavy weight bout against Wimberley last Friday at Wimberley Stadium, 40-3.

The Hawks seem to disappear every time a battle with their neighbors just north of CL’s campus have their yearly game.

“We did not match Wimberley’s intensity,” Head Coach Charley Drum stated. “They have played in a lot of big games and you can see that we just aren’t there.”

Five games and now five losses to the Texans in what seemed to be that same State Championship defense seen last year was in full array on this blustery evening.

Wimberley started this night with a 35 yard drive and were forced to punt after this 10 play drive.

Remember what has been talked about for Canyon Lake to compete with the Texans? Turnovers and Penalties.

Canyon Lake did not have a penalty assessed until the second half, however the same could not be said about the turnover.

First play was a muffed snap for Canyon Lake and a negative 12 yards for a safety.

Mountain Valley 8th Grade A and B team split with Wimberley last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.

In the ‘A’ Game, MV started the game with an impressive three play 55 yard drive to tie the score with five minutes left in the second quarter.

Spit End Tyler Shipman had a juggling catch over the middle going for 43 yards for the score. Shipman juggled the ball for ten yards before his clutch of the ball had a positive result.

“It went up in the air and I did not see it and then it popped up again and then I caught it,” Shipman retold the story. “Felt really good and I was tired.”

Anthony Rodriguez also let his presence known against Wimberley.

Rodriguez was responsible for tackle behind by five yards causing a fumble for the Texan runner.

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity could not rebound in their loss to Wimberley last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium, losing 18-7.

The Hawks offense was AWOL in this loss as the halftime stats would bare out. CL had more penalty yards than offensive yards.

“Staying power is what we are trying to show them and that will build character,” Head JV Coach Brian Owens said. “You don’t measure a man when you are ahead, but when you find yourself in trouble.”

Quarterback Skylar Tschoepe had the Hawks first first down well into the second quarter and that would be the extent of that excitement.

Canyon Lake had 13 offensive plays total in that half while Wimberley almost matched that with their first drive of the game with 12 plays.

Wimberley also had multiple penalties and sometimes decided to have more than one on any given play.

The Texans had 104 yards in penalties while your CL Hawks finished with 116 total offensive yards.

Canyon Lake Hawk’s Volleyball finished their season splitting their last two games with Bandera and Navarro. Both games were played at Hawk Gym with the finale last Tuesday night.

The Hawks had five Seniors on the court for their last game.

Cassidy Riccio, Logan Nease, Marisa Ellis, Reanna Wagliardo, and Katie Williams played with a lot of heart but still could not get that last win against Navarro.

At first, CL did not come out of their doldrums until the second game of this match.

After a 25-13 loss to the Panthers in the first game, Canyon Lake responded by winning their next game by that same score.

In that game, CL was dominant. The Hawks were everywhere on the court and controlled this game from their service to their kills and everything in-between.

Junior Amber Ramsey had seven kills in this game while Katie Williams (4) and Logan Nease (3) were just as lethal.

Bracken Christian stormed Winston with their fifth win and also their fifth mercy game against this Eagle school. BCS ran away with a 53-8 final.

Head Coach Lloyd Fields reached the 50 win hurdle with his stay at Bracken Christian on this night.

It was a complete game for the Warriors as they had their most rushing yards (352) in one half of play.

“We felt this was our second time this year we played very well on both sides of the ball,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields commented. “Our defense took a sabbatical in last week’s game.”

Based on how this school has rushed the ball in the past five, then you will know that this is quite an accomplishment. BCS has won 34 mercy games now with 26 games in a row without being on the losing end.

After a Winston punt on their first series, Bracken was deep in their territory on their two yard line.

A 78 yard run by Eli Achilles and Bracken would not be threatened for the rest of this night.

Hayden Dubois Makes his presence known in win over Bandera

Canyon Lake had their most complete game to date as they pounded the Bandera Bulldogs last Friday night at Hawk stadium, 42-7.

The Hawks finished this game with 35 unanswered points and a suffocating defense. It was the best defensive game in not giving up yards in CL’s history.

Top 5 Defensive efforts:

    Game        Yards     Year
 1. Bandera     133       2012
 2. Billies     173       2011
 3. Billies     215       2009
 4. Wimberley   219       2009
 5. Ingram      219       2009

“They bought into our non-district schedule,” Head Coach Charley Drum beat. “We still have some things we need to clean up…Penalties and getting our running game into the game earlier.”

This win sets up a battle of unbeaten District 27-3A squads next week in Wimberley.

A slow start was still unavoidable as CL had a 34 yard drive stall on Bandera’s 42 yard line.

Then another stop by the defense and another three play and punt series resulting in another short series of downs. That however would be Canyon Lake’s last punt of the evening.

Bandera had a bad snap on their punt attempt and their player was able to get his kick off for one yard. That play set up CL on the Bulldog’s 39 yard line.

The ReSporter thinks the best word do describe Mountain Valley’s Seventh Grade

Mountain Valley Seventh 'B' Squad Talk about Win over Bandera

Mountain Valley 7th ‘B’ squad could of beaten Bandera’s ‘A’ team but instead had a chance to play the ‘B’ squad.

After spotting their opponent 12 points, then MV started dominating the rest of this contest.

The Hawk defense allowed 60 yards for Bandera’s first two scores and then clamped down for negative 21 yards for the rest of the game.

With an interception return, when MV was on the Bulldogs eight yard line the return covered 100 yards and what seemed at the time an avalanche against this Hawk team.

Then it happened: QB Triston McPhee went back for a pass and another interception was going to bury them, until Matthew Rhodes had other plans.

While the Bullpup was returning the int. Rhodes not only stopped the run but stole the ball from his arms and promptly ran 65 yards for the Hawks first score.
