Canyon Lake hit their stride in the fourth quarter as they used that six point advantage to win their second game of this season, 37-31 over Somerset Bulldogs.

“I thought Reagan (Heun) played well, she handled the pressure well and she made some key three pointers and just overall, showed poise,” Head Coach Mary-Beth Gallagher said. “We had a lift by getting the other freshman, Alexa Ramos back for a little bit and she too played well.”

The Hawks were led by Freshman Reagan Heun who scored 26 points to lead CL to this victory.

A pretty good line score as with those 26 points, she added 2 assists, 3 steals, and a block to top off this game.

“I felt we attacked the boards better than we had been and did a better job of limiting Somerset to one shot possessions,” Coach Gallagher continued.

Heun was just one rebound away for a double/double agains this Bulldog team.

Alexis Fullen has now topped more than 10 blocks as she continued that strength of her game with 2 in this game.

Canyon Lake Basketball is a very youthful group of girls which when translated means for a long season in the win and loss ledger.

Lexy Jackson will be an integral part for the Hawks this season.

The Hawks have just one win in their first eight games and the District 26-4A will be calling on December 19th when CL will face Yoakum at home.

You will also notice that Senior Kyndall Drum is not on any of the stat lines below as she will be expected back in December after recovering from her injury.

The Hawks will welcome her Senior leadership and added depth.

Also, Canyon Lake has been given another shot of a Freshman in Reagan Heun who leads the team in 77 points. That is 70% of points scored this season as she would be dominating at the Freshman team, but due to lack of depth with the older girls, this young lady will be called upon for this whole season.

Great Game

Canyon Lake has been down this road before….it was four years ago when the Hawks lost in the second round on a field goal try that missed crossing the bar by inches.

This time the heartbreak was in the form of an overtime game, a first for Canyon Lake and Rockport-Fulton pulled out a squeaker, 27-21.

Senior Linebacker Austin Acosta making the stop

“My hat goes off for them,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “They made the stop and we didn’t.”

Coach Drum was speaking about the two possessions during that overtime period.

“This is one of the toughest losses,” Drum said with finality. “Especially when you are looking at the Seniors after the game….I’m proud of our Seniors.”

CL started this game with a lot of energy as the defense held the Pirates to two punts on their first two possession while Canyon Lake sandwiched those defensive stops with a Josh DeVries 60 yard bolt down the left sideline and a quick Hawk lead, 7-0.

That drive encompassed just two plays for 63 yards and a huge momentum shot.

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum

This is certainly a big week for the Hawks and The ReSporter had a chance to catch up with Coach Drum for this week’s edition of the Coaches Corner.

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter: Can Coach Moses read minds better than his coaching friends from Rockport?

Coach Drum: “Yeah, they will know our offense, but we can be a little more diverse than they are. We kind of have something to compare.”

The ReSporter: Do you know if Rockport-Fulton played a team that runs the slot-t?

Coach Drum: “I don’t think they did.”

The ReSporter: Well, when I think back on last year in our game with Navarro, you could tell that they were just more advanced with this type of offense both defensively and offensively in our game with them.

There are two Hawk players that have been playing for Canyon Lake during the last part of the season when Will Joyner joined the team for a game with Smithville and then invited again near the end of this season.

Freshman Will Joyner and Jacob Foster relaxing at a Hawk Basketball game

You would see Joyner on kick-off teams and also playing on the defensive side of the ball these past few games.

Meanwhile Senior Ian May went down over two weeks ago and CL had Jacob Foster filling that void on the offensive line.

Both of these players had carved a nice niche with that Freshman Class as that team has been heralded as the calvary to help stave off an indian attack on the local village.

Yes, that village might have been able to hold their own, but having the Calvary joining this fight will make those losses in war to be reduced.

Junior Running Back Robert Woods waiting for the Offensive Line’s next hole to plow through

The Hawks are presently 0-2 when facing teams in the second round of playoffs.

Back in 2010, Canyon Lake, was pitted against a Somerset team that had a ton of excitement and experience and in the end it was the Bulldogs that were smiling after a missed field goal when time expired.

During that two game stint in the 2010 playoff season, CL had won their first half in both games by a 52-13 advantage and in that first game with Burnet the Hawks withheld a furious rally to hold on with a Bi-District win, 27-20.

Somerset was let off the hook in that Area matchup when the CL’s Juan Martinez was just short on a 42 yard field goal with no time left on the clock.

Martinez was true on a 40 yard field goal at the end of the first half in that same game which proved to be the Hawk’s last points for that season.

Austin Rodriguez was honored on Monday at Mountain Valley Middle School when he was awarded a chance to play in an All-Star game this December 20th, in Naples, Florida.

EastBay Scout and Former San Francisco 49er Anthony Williams talking to 8th Grade assembly at MVMS

Rodriguez, an 8th Grader, was selected to play in The Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl and will suit up to represent the West Squad.

Rodriguez played on the Mountain Valley District Champions on the offensive line which helped in the Hawk team to dominate this season in every facet of the game.

“He separated himself by not only by his playing skills….but also how he is good in the classroom because having a well rounded students is first in making our decisions,” EastBay Scout Anthony Williams said. “To be able to play in this game you have to bring the full package in being a good teammate and being a good student.”

The award was presented during the noon time when the whole 8th Grade class was present in the MV cafeteria.
