Don’t Underestimate the Jumping Ability of Perez
Canyon Lake Volleyball started where they left off last year in district play as the Hawks ran their streak to 14 wins in a row after sweeping Boerne, 3-0.
“Ever since last Tuesday night we have been having stellar practices,” Head Coach Kim Paisley stated. “We had a good film session and we were energized all night and did not let up.”
The Hawks took the first two sets with little resistance after, 25-15 and 25-16 victories. Then the 3rd set interjected a bit more drama as the Greyhounds started to find their stride as they rounded the corner on the track.

Pre/Game: Canyon Lake @ Austin Akins 7:00pm Hawks 3-2 Eagles 2-2 Series History: First game between these two schools.

Canyon Lake will be going into new territory on Thursday as the Hawks will play their first 6A school when they travel to Burger Stadium in play Austin Akins.
Hill Country Furnishings says way to go Hawks
The Eagles had an open date last week which will add another ornament on the tree of how CL will attempt compete with a team two classes larger.
Akins is on a two game losing streak after starting the season 2-0 with wins over two teams that have a combined 1-9 record. However that sounds familiar to CL’s schedule as they too started their season 2-0 and those two teams now sport a 2-8 slate.
The Eagles offense has averaged 15 passes a game and 92 yards through the air. That comes to 6 yards per attempt and Akins will have 3 players that will dominate the reception of those throws.
The ReSporter: What is the overall attitude for the team as they prepare for a 6A school this Thursday?
Head Coach Charlie Drum
Coach Drum: “Practices after a win always help with the enthusiasm in practice. The boys are excited about playing a 6A team, and hopefully play with great energy.”
The ReSporter: What were some good things you took away from last week’s win over Lampasas?
Coach Drum: “Two things. Our special teams were definitely a plus, we were perfect on extra points and recovered an onside kick while cleanly recovering two of their onside kicks. Secondly, the way our offense took over the second half, controlling the clock and scoring points.”
The ReSporter: It seems that Akins running game is a little more advanced than their passing game, how do you see there offense? (more…)

Canyon Lake took the Badgers to the cleaners in their Thursday night win, 42-34. As there were many flags flying on this night with both squads totaling 20 penalties which added up to 200 yards.
Lampasas won this penalty battle after finishing with 115 yards of step offs with personal foul infractions out the wazoo.
The Hawks controlled the line of scrimmage which helped with long drives and the special teams were special in this win, stopping a 2 game skid as CL prepares for a 6A team in Austin next Thursday.
“The special teams won this game by giving CL that extra possession,” Head Coach Charlie Drum started. “The offensive line came out and helped control this game and that helped us control the clock and score in the red zone.”
Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley
The ReSporter: You traveled 948 miles in-between your two home dates this season….how do you feel those road games might help as you get into district play?
Coach Paisley: “We have experience for the road games, and we will put that to good use for those district matches on our opponents home court.”
The ReSporter: There was a lot to replace from last year’s group, what are your thoughts going into next week’s game with Boerne?
Coach Paisley: “Boerne is known for their “crowd/student section heckling”. Maybe one of the best in the hill country as far as heckling during a volleyball match. They have been this way since I played in high school. We just have to block them out and focus on our match and our goals for district play. Boerne is going to battle it out and play some good volleyball. We must be ready to play and play our game!”
The ReSporter: What will you be working on this week and into the Boerne game?
Coach Paisley: “Passing and defense is the main skill to work on. We must always be perfecting this skill because we cannot do the rest without a pass.”
Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks
The ReSporter: Fredericksburg had a pretty tough schedule and is coming into district play on an upswing, how do you see your competition and what attribute will need to be emphasized in winning district?
Coach Paisley: “Fredericksburg is going to be tough just like Boerne! They will have big girls at the net. We’ve got to be ready defensively by making sure our blocks are in the right spot and closing so our defense in the back row can do their job. Offensively, we must move the ball around and run quick stuff in order to score.”
The ReSporter: What does or has Regan Mickey meant for your program as she enters her last district competition?
Coach Paisley: “She has been an outstanding member of the team and program. She understands this is her last district season as a Senior in High School. Like all of the seniors, we talked about what will be the legacy they leave behind. “What will be their final days as a High School Volleyball player be?” We regrouped after Tuesday nights match against La Vernia and discussed our goals we set at the beginning of season. We are ready and we believe and will achieve.
The ReSporter: Thanks Coach and enjoy this time off before district season next week.
