Your Hawk’s offense was efficient throughout this evening while CL’s special teams pitched in scoring twice on opponent’s punt plays.
Let’s Go Lake!
CL’s first drive went 75 yards with King catchingt 4 passes for 69 yards and a quick Hawk, 7-0 lead.
On a Special Team side: JR Lindell went untouched to block Veteran’s first punt attempt and decided to take this play to the house going 33 yards to pay dirt. That score had The Lake entering halftime with a, 21-14 lead.
Veterans offense was a potent ground game that had the home team answering both of CL’s first drives. With both plays, break aways, going for 65 and 71 yards. Speed kills…
This contest would still be dicey with Veterans starting their 2nd stanza with the ball.
Defensive Coordinator Kurt Sloan had other plans after halftime adjustments when the Hawk’s worked a 3 play and punt sequence.
Canyon Lake responded with a 5 play 66 yard drive that had 4 pass plays using Lucas Schexnayder (2 catches for 20 yards) and King (2 catches for 44 yards) and score that gave some breathing room for the Hawk Nation, 28-14.
After that score the game had both teams exchanging punts for their next 5 series which culminated with a Patriot Punter botching a snap and Isiah Eureste taking it from there going 32 yards clinching a score to start the 4th quarter.
Eureste ended this battle with two fumble recoveries and can also be hired out if Hawk families might need a pick-up service. A linebacker that plays all-over-the-field with unbounding energy that produces positive results each week.
CL’s Defense forced another punt after a Vet Memorial 5 play drive…Canyon Lake’s response?
Way to Go Hawks!
How bout a one-play catch and run for King this time going 82 yards giving the Lake a, 42-13 advantage.
That 82 yard pass play was the 3rd longest from back in those old days that had Matt Magness traveling 88 yards (he lost his shoe on that play) and Chance Martelli’s 93 yards (if you need more details on his catch then talk with his Dad…he will use a lot of emotion).
The Patriots had their best possession in the 2nd half for 10 plays traveling 45 yards but the Lake’s defense snuffed it out on their 35 yard line.
Enter Running Back Chris Brown who took the last offensive snap for 37 yards and the final score, 49-14.
A complete game that had all three phases in this game being in full display. Oh yeah, that QB (Wheeler) also takes snaps as CL’s punter and he unloaded on a 61 yarder while also pinning the opponent deep in their territory. Wheeler finished this contest with a 42 yard average and has a 40 yard season average.
Jack Stracener continues his strong kicking this season and has moved into 3rd place in made pat’s with 76 and with more games to improve that standing.
The Lake will be on the road at JFK next Friday to open district play…Let’s GO LAKE BABY!
