The ReSporter: Last game against Wimberley was a morale booster, tell The

Canyon Lake Freshman the Future

ReSporter about the game and how the team played against their arch rival?

Coach Jeff Vaughn: “It is always great to end the season on a high note.  We talked about this before the game and at half time as well.  This game was personal to me.  As a coach I always say “We” but that night I told them that “I” want a win.  We started this program four years ago with this group of seniors and I told them that “I” want a win…and that “I” expected nothing less from this being their last night!  As far as the game goes…we played well, and exceeded my expectations by winning 3-0…With two seniors scoring goals.  Annie Jacobs scored our only goal in the first half…then shortly after the second half started she got a straight red card for a suspect tackle…but I was proud that she got a goal.  We had to play about 35 minutes with only 10 versus 11…and only up a goal.  I changed nothing…the girls kept their feet on the gas and Amanda Pettyjohn (a senior) and Christy Fowler added two more tallies before it was all said and done.  I was a proud coach!!!”

Junior Jasmine Smith gets her kicks in.

The Lady Hawks (5-2-2) took care of business in beating Floresville (8-3-1) at Hawk Stadium last Friday night as all the points scored came in the first half of play.

Canyon Lake had four starters out with injuries while many of other players were banged up. That is what made this MASH unit even more remarkable.

Head Coach Jeffrey Vaughn looked like a champion puzzle player as he fit the pieces around to come out with a well deserved win over a Floresville Jaguar club.

Moving the Freshman Goal Keeper to a starter, the Senior Goal Keeper to Defender, the Midfielder/Defender to Sweeper, you get the idea. The Hawks were playing positions that were not normal for this young but resilient team.
