Canyon Lake was schooled in their game with Navarro on Friday night as the State Ranked Panthers swept the Hawks, 13-25, 11-25, and 23-25.

It took 10 years for Canyon Lake to shut out Blanco as the Hawks started their season blanking Blanco, 38-0.
“This was a total team effort,” Head Coach Charlie Drum stated. “Having our back-ups in the game and still not allowing a touchdown shows that everyone was giving their best effort.”
The Defense was shut-down ready from start to finish as the Panthers were able to amass just 7 first downs with out the help of a flag, ending with 9 for the game.

“This looked like it was our first game of the year,” Head JV Coach John Barthels stated. “We did respond in the second half and our last drive wore them down and our kids played hard.”
There was certainly some rust on both sides of the ball as offense was not a thing of beauty when both teams retired for their halftime talk and the Hawks having a 37 to 34 lead in yardage gained.
Clay Weber was one of many Hawk defenders that helped shut down the Panthers.
“We just got after it,” Weber surmised. “We came out with a higher mentality and we just get better with more stops and turnovers for our next game.”

Faith Hasness continued her strong Senior campaign in Sinton
The Lady Hawks finished their 2nd day with a 3rd place finish in the Gold Bracket, at the Sinton Volleyball Tournament giving Canyon Lake an 11th place finish out of 32 schools.
A win over Austin Anderson to start the day was good, but a set back against St. Joseph put the Hawks with a final game with Austin Akins for the 3rd place finish in this bracket.
In the loss a Hawk slow start was the difference as Canyon Lake could not win the 3rd game and that loss solidified the Hawks to the Gold Bracket with the other one loss teams in pool play.
On what the Hawks gained in this tourney, Coach Kim Paisley commented, “We definitely got more touches on the ball and we had more people getting to play….but we still have a lot of work to do.”
