The ReSporter: Hey Coach, congratulations on the win last week. Could you tell us how the practices have gone this week after that win over Wimberley?

Coach Drum: “There has been a lot more enthusiasm and you can tell the difference the way they start each day. It was like being paid for all the hard work you have done and they finally got the fruits from all that hard labor.”

The ReSporter: That had to be one of the largest crowds in Hawk history.

Coach Drum: “Yeah, our stadium holds 6000 and the last time I saw the stands like that was 5 years ago when we were playing Wimberley and we were both undefeated.”

The ReSporter: That game had to be a confidence builder for the team, especially Ben Fulton after the first half had all the negative things happening.

Coach Drum: “We talked at halftime to just settle down and he (Fulton) shoulders a lot of blame but our offense has so many other parts that are not based on the quarterback and so we just decided to have a safe pass to start the second half.” (more…)

Hawk Nation celebrating after a Hawk Sweep over Navarro

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball team is on a roll after their Tuesday win over Navarro, but if you have not noticed the Hawks also have the Freshman and Junior Varsity clubs that have also gone undefeated in District 26-4A.

Junior Felicity Niestemski was one of many JV Hawks helping with 3-0 start in District 26-4A play

Both teams beat Navarro as the Freshman swept with a 2-0 match and the JV had a 2-1 victory.

For that JV game on Tuesday, the Hawks were night and day difference between their first and second sets.

“The difference comes down to warm-ups,” Head JV Coach Megan Helmey said calmly. “It takes this team time to get focused.”

Canyon Lake JV was off and on in that first set as both teams never could get a commanding lead as the Hawks just were not able to take advantage in the sluggish first set.

If you were late to the party and you had walked in during that second set, then you would ask how bad did the Hawks win the first game.

First, first is that this team is now all alone in first place.

Second, first is now having the longest winning streak in school history with 11.

Third, first is having Freshman, JV, and Varsity with all perfect, 3-0 district records.

“This was a huge win,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said excitedly. “They stayed focused as you could barely hear on the court and we had a good finish and we worked hard.”

Bailey Drum getting her point across as Alexis Robinson and Hannah Wunderlich wait in anticipation

CL Hawks (22-8) Volleyball team swept Gonzales on Friday going, 2-0 in District 26-4A and setting up a show down this coming Tuesday in Navarro.

There are some decent teams in District 26-4A this year, but only two teams have a solid resume and the Hawk’s next opponent will be that other team.

CL did not take any prisoners on this evening jumping out for a, 25-6 first set victory that would give you an indication of what would happen for this evening.

Gonzales has just 2 wins this season and keeping the game competitive would be difficult on this night for the Apaches.

The Hawks won the next two sets to complete the sweep, 25-10 and 25-15.

Hawks with Devil’s Back Bone Trophy after Wimberley Win

Canyon Lake Broke Wimberley’s Back Bone in Win on Friday at the Hawk Nest, 28-14.

The first year for the Back Bone Trophy will now have a home at Canyon Lake for the next year as the Hawks took care of business in the second half to win their second game in three years over our friends to the North.

This win had a stellar defensive game by both teams but a goal line stand in the third quarter allowed this scrappy Hawk team to stave off the Texans and hold onto their 7 point lead, 21-14.

Turnovers were a friend for CL as in year’s past, it has been a Hawk problem holding onto the ball or throwing interceptions against the Texans.

Two costly fumbles and an interception helped Canyon Lake win a game that has been hard to come by for so many years.

Overall, CL had a good set of games with Wimberley as the Hawk JV had the only loss as they were stranded on the 2 yard line when time ran out on Thursday.

Cameron Hebert, Sheldon Flint, Triston Chacon, and Trenton Lorett after won over Wimberley

Canyon Lake was so convincing in their win over Wimberley that the Texans headed south after the loss at the Hawk Nest, 48-0.

On CL’s first series, the Hawks had a 10 yard penalty holding the Hawks without a first and their first and only punt.

After that series the Texans had a hard time turning off the water in what would be an inevitable convincing win.

That first set of downs had this Freshman team gaining 15 yards but the penalty left them 5 yards short of a first and their first and only punt of the game.

Wimberley got one of their two first downs on their next possession but that was all the joy they would get as the punting formation would become routine.

“They have had a year of hearing Wimberley talk after last year’s game,” Head Freshman Coach Bill Greene said. “They decided they would go to work and win tonight,”
