Hawks Rushed out District with some hardware.         (photo by Karen Holmes)

Canyon Lake’s Football team had their awards banquet last Thursday and announced the all-district and other accolades for a team that finished the highest in district since the school started in 2008 season.

That 2nd Place finish has left some unfinished business for Canyon Lake when next ye

   Way to Go Hawks

ar starts in August.

Canyon Lake did have young man who excelled and those long awaited mentions are below.

A final record of 7-4 had the Hawks needing one more win to match the best campaign in CL’s history when the 2011 team had an 8-2 final tally.

Heath McDonough made All-District on offense as well as defensive side of the ball. You could also add a decent punt return for a touchdown on special teams but not good enough for a district mention on that front.

The ReSporter has other jobs and would like to know if any readers would like an opportunity to go skiing this coming March during the Spring Break.

You can go to the proposal by punching this address below:

This mountain is in Colorado and there are so many things to do besides skiing/boarding that the family could go and enjoy many aspects than just skiing a mountain.

Canyon Lake Volleyball had another banner year with accolades from their District 28-4A foes.

This season, Sam York was voted Defensive MVP for this year’s district contests.

Regan Mickey, Faith Hasness, and Anna Bettersworth were also awarded 1st Team All-District honors.

Another testament to how well this team raised the bar this season to go along with a Hawk Team that has ascended to one of the best.

Congrats and here are the 1st, 2nd, and Honorable Mentions Athletes for this years’ District Awards.

Down to 4 District 14-4A Contests                                                       (photo by Karen Holmes)

The ReSporter will go over what is known about 14-4A schools as the district football schedule starts up this Friday.

What we know: Boerne is a good passing team but what might be overlooked is how well of a defensive squad they are and how that will win many games for these Greyhounds.

In Boerne’s last contest with Wimberley they had their worst showing on that side of the ball in giving up 385 yards. What is even more of an eye opener is how well the Texans rushed in this game totaling 255 yards on the ground.

In their two losses, the Greyhounds defense gave up 280 or more in yardage. The Hawks can vouch for how tough Wimberley was to handle on both sides of the ball and the Texans rush defense had the Hawks relying on special teams and a passing game for points.

In Boerne’s first game with Devine their defense gave up over 200 yards on the ground but could only muster 23 yards via the airways. That is how most games go for a slot-T team and this would be another capsule specimen to put under a microscope.

Zack Covington looks for more improvement as  Hawks enter 3rd week

The 2016 CLHS Varsity football season got underway Friday night in the usual August format; HOT! Temperatures to start the game as the field had to be in triple digits and the Texas heat spread across the fruited plains ushered in a long sought after football season to begin anew.

The Smithville Tigers came calling on Friday afternoon into Canyon Lake in the sweltering heat to find about 250 fired up Hawk fans waiting to greet them.

The Hawks met the Tigers last year in the regular season in Smithville and earned a win. The key words there in that sentence was “last year.”

  Go Warriors

Bracken Christian has been going strong for 10 years now as they finished out of the playoffs in just their first year of existence as they have been winning ever since.

Last year the Warriors had a younger team than their first campaign back in 2006 and if a losing record could have been made, that was the year.

That young group of players not only pulled off another winning season, but played well in the playoffs too.

Now, one year later, BCS will have a chance of making more noise as 18 players will be ready for getting the Warriors in the thick of their district and a longer run in those playoffs.

On Friday, Bracken had three other teams in attendance at their stadium as the first scrimmage was in full gear to start the 10th year of Bracken football.

Go CL Hawks

The JV football team had its opening moments for the 2016 seeing eye to eye, meaning the scrimmage in which they started off with this season was played against each other, at least in the beginning.

Smithville fielded a smaller team this season and as it would happen the freshman got first shot at the Tigers on the other side of the field as Fridays scrimmage began in leaving the JV to bash one another up and down the field to start the season.

The Junior Varsity squad is full of Juniors and Sophomores this season, so much so, that there will be a JV Gold team and Green team with each team looking to compete for district title like last year’s JV team accomplished under Coach Bartels.

Brandon Robinson readies himself for another good Hawk Season

By Cory Martelli

The CL freshman football team took the field Friday afternoon against Smithville Tigers in their first ever look at high school football and picked up where they left off last year as a district champs at Mountain Valley Middle School.

The offense as well as the defense seemed to have their starters already figured out as a few players swapped in and out on the first teams during the scrimmage.

The Hawks first string offensive-line appeared to have a consistent work ethic in blocking a well sized Tiger front four as well as down field blocking assignments with their linebackers and secondary.
