Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallagher

Canyon Lake’s Cross Country team will be active Monday as they will hopefully run into Hawk history as they compete in District 26-4A Meet and will try to out do last year’s Hawk runners.

In the most recent meet in Navarro, CL had two that placed in the warm up meet before the district run.

Jaren Marmolejo placed 11th for the Varsity boys and Matt Bell was just 2 places off with a 13th finish.

Another Hawk, Adam Wiewell was within smelling distance coming in 15th place overall, giving CL a good score and helped with a good placement among the attending schools.

“It was a really awesome day,” Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “Our boys varsity took 3rd overall.”

Setter Regan Mickey setting Emma Gray for the Post Kill

Canyon Lake Hawks are right on the cusp of winning their first ever District Championship as the Volleyball team took out their closest competitor, Navarro, in a sweep, 25-20, 25-20, and 25-23.

It was the second sweep, CL has forged on the Panthers this season and now with just three games remaining, Canyon Lake will need just one win or one loss for Navarro to have sole claim to get to the top of the heap.

Count the number of team sports that Canyon Lake has been involved with since that 2008 sports year.

Looking at what the Dogs saw all night in Hawk Win as Austin Brennan scores

Canyon Lake took the Bandera Bulldogs to a Poodle Kennel in win, 42-7 as the Hawks are now tied for 2nd place in District 14-4A-D1 race.

“We played a complete game and that is something we haven’t done this year,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “I told the kids, it was now or never as it would be tough coming back from an 0-2 hole…We are playing with intensity just like last week and this will be a moral booster for the kids….I am proud of them.”

The Hawks rushed for their largest amount of yardage ever in this victory as CL passed the Marion total in a game played earlier this season.

Bandera transplant, Tanner Fairs, also eclipsed Eduardo Covarrubias longest run from scrimmage by one yard as he raced for 76 yards for a his second score in the first quarter.

CL went right to work, taking their first drive for 61 yards on 11 plays with Faris covering the last 19 yards for an inkling of things to come and a lead that would not be threatened by the Poodles, 7-0.

Cody Daily scoring One of Three Touchdowns in Hawk Win over Panthers   Picture by Mark Robinson (mjrphotog.com)

Mountain Valley 8A team completed the sweep of Liberty Hill in dramatic fashion, scoring with 4 seconds to avert a tie, 20-12.

“Both of our 8th grade teams played great,” Head Coach Brandon Pawelek said. “Last week, we went over to Liberty Hill and got beat in both games, so it was great to see our kids win both games this week.”

The happy Coach Pawelek then put his thoughts for that last game, “Last week the A team battled until the very end and we lost on a last second play and this week we came back and executed very well on both sides of the ball.”

“We had to overcome 3 turnovers in the first half and our defense only gave up one touchdown during that stretch,” Coach Pawelek said excitedly. “The defense was solid all game long and our offense had some big plays, especially our last touchdown to go ahead with 12 seconds left….it was a really fun game for the coaches and the players.”

The ReSporter would also add the game was fun for the fans too.

Braden Duke, Bradley Hight, Braden Hight, and Colton McDonald after win over Bandera JV, 46-7

Canyon Lake JV beat Bandera in a run away to improve to 2-0 in District 14-4A play, Thursday night at Hawk Stadium, 46-7.

“We started to do what they are suppose to do,” Head JV Coach John Barthels said. “We were more aggressive and this team is stepping it up in practice against the Varsity and this is the result.”

The Hawks started this evening with a fumble on their 4th play of the game after covering 51 yards on those snaps.

That would be the only time a Bulldog would stop Canyon Lake as the rest of this night was all Hawk.

Running back/Defensive back, Lee Stafford had 43 yards on that first drive, with a long of 38 yards through the middle of that Bulldogs line.

Coach Kim Paisley instructing for placement of a Hawk Serve.

The ReSporter was able to get with a busy Coach Paisley as this year’s squad is working on a perfect district slate. Go to the updated Standings article and you will see how Navarro needed to go 5 sets in disposing La Vernia and Wimberley lost in 5 sets to upstart Cuero team.

The ReSporter: Does going through the district on the 2nd round give teams a good idea of how they have progressed? What are signs besides wins and losses that help you gauge that idea.

Coach Paisley: “I look at how we execute offensively and defensively in comparison to the first round’s execution. I like to look for strategic execution based off film study, and that is rewarding as a coach to see when your team takes from what they learned and apply it successfully during the match.”

The ReSporter: On that same note, when you look at this year’s team, how good your team is can be based on placing CL at this moment back during the Tournament season and asking yourself, which games would we win with this team now, so how many of those losses would be counted as wins? (more…)
