The Hawk Freshman team was close to pulling off another win on Thursday night but one play spelled doom for CL for this loss to Giddings, 22-12.

Canyon Lake had an advantage for most of the game and was on their way to icing the game when a fumble stopped the drive while the Hawks were on the Giddings 2 yard line with enough downs that would make the game a two score lead with 6 minutes left to play.

“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.”
