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.

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…)

Senior Linebacker Hayden Lee is second leading tackler for Hawks only trailing Bobby Flint

Canyon Lake had a tough night in loss to Liberty Hill with an anemic offensive night losing, 31-7.

“We turned the ball over and then we faced a defensive line that is the best I have seen in the last few years,” Head Coach Charley Drum calculated. “When an team defers during the pre/game coin toss, then you know they will have a pretty stout defense.”

Canyon Lake had a decent first half only trailing by 7 points and that from a fumble return being the difference.

“They took advantage of our three mistakes,” Coach Drum continued. “Our younger kids grew up tonight and there are a lot of positives we can take from tonights game…..We are right into ball games and we need to find ways of cleaning up mistakes.”

The Hawks first half numbers had 117 yards and during the second half CL totaled another 9 yards of offense with 3 turnovers giving you an idea that a 24 point loss not looking as bad as it sounds.

Preston Nelms thinking about that next play in his pursuit for a win next week

Mountain Valley 7th Grade lost both games against Liberty Hill Middle School last Thursday at the Hawk nest as the Panthers brought a large contingence of players in both wins.

In that first game, Mountain Valley made a game in what was started as a romp.

Liberty Hill enjoyed a 16-0 lead going into halftime as well as dominating both lines of scrimmage.

Then, Running Back Preston Nelms was awakened with only 16 yards rushing in that first half, Nelms then turned on his after burners as he almost broke the 100 yard barrier.

“Coach asked who would step up during our halftime talk,” Nelms said with resolve. “Our lineman finally started doing what they were suppose to do.”

Hawks getting 1 more thought as they contemplate their 1 point win

CL Hawk Freshman team now have a 12 game winning streak after a thrilling comeback win over LH Panthers at the Hawk nest, Thursday night.

“I am proud of these young man,” Head Freshman Coach Bill Greene started. “We talked on how this game we would be setting our pads and this would be the first time someone would come back.”

Coach Greene was commenting on how most of the teams played this season have not challenged this group of players.

The Hawks had not had a team this year that has scored more than one touchdown against them and some of those scores were after the game had been decided.

Liberty Hill started the game with a first play fumble that was recovered by Hawk’s Cameron Hebert.

A 12 play drive by the Hawks where there were 3 fourth down plays was a good eye opener with some tough play being common.

The bad news was that Canyon Lake came up one yard short on that final fourth down play resulting in the Panthers taking over on LH’s 9 yard line.

The Panthers would respond with a 14 play drive covering 91 yards and the first score after Running Back Kyle Harrison took a 29 yard run to paydirt.
