Hawks Boys Cross Country team makes history with their first time to qualify for Regions when they finished in third place in last week’s District 26-4A Meet in Navarro.

Canyon Lake’s Girls team also had a fifth place finish at the meet.

“I know that it has been very exciting for us to see such a great pay off for the hard work they have put in this season,” Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallahger said excitedly. “We have great young runners who will hopefully get a taste of what a regional is like and be hungry to return next season.”

Senior Christy Fowler finished 15th for the girls Varsity while the Hawks had three JV girls medal.

Sydney Young, Kaylie Yuill, and Amira Allen helped in giving the JV Hawk Girls a 3rd place finish in District 26-4A, last Wednesday meet.

For the Varsity Boy’s, Senior Nash Opperman was the man as he finished 10th in the meet which would of qualified as an individual.

Canyon Lake has not had much success in this sport and now the curtain has been pulled open by this crew and a chance of competing in a whole different realm.

Mountain Valley’s 8B team rushed out to a 14 point lead and held on for a win over Fredericksburg’s Middle School, 14-6.

Wyatt Meckel is all in on getting two more wins this year against Boerne

That first MV drive was all it would take to get this win as the Hawks drove 67 yards and the eventual win when Nic Robinson scored from four yards out and put a cherry on this TD with a run for the two point conversion.

The next Mountain Valley drive was cut short after reaching the Billies’ 19 yard line and fumbling that chance away.

Fredericksburg’s first three drives would end with punts as the Hawks would score their two touchdowns for a 14-0 lead going into halftime.

Christian Rhoades had a great set of downs on that scoring drive with a nifty 46 yard run and then a nine yard run two plays later for that score.

Fredericksburg could not keep a lead in loss to Canyon Lake, 49-31.

The Hawks upped their series record to 5-2 over the Billies and this game was not your ordinary, by the book, game as CL administered two kick-off run backs which finally broke Fredericksburg into a free fall and a loss.

“They are good,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We talked about last year’s team and how similar we are…but we will need to finish it.”

On Fredericksburg first drive of the game, the Billies moved from their 40 yard line to CL’s 26 in just three plays when a movement penalty on a first down, had Fredericksburg needing 15 yards for a first.

That little mistake changed up their play calling and after three passes and two incompletions, Jacob Eckhardt was good with a 41 yard field goal with 10:24 left in that first quarter.

Using 13 seconds, Josh DeVries took the Billie kick-off on the press box sideline and with some Houdini like dance moves, DeVries was crossing the goal line and CL would surprise the shocked home crowd, leading 7-3.

Another running clock and another game being played by Mountain Valley’s 8th A squad when they put a hurt on Fredericksburg winning, 46-0.

Mountain Valley’s 8A Victory Run after Win over Fredericksburg

This game would have some more runners with a chance of showing off some of their skills as Connor Rose and Landry Moore both averaged over 12 yards per carry and accounted for four touchdowns.

“We had not played much and this was the first game we could show that we were tough enough,” Rose said.

“I wanted to show that I was true asset,” Moore said with the same resolve as Rose earlier.

Mountain Valley scored on seven of their eight times with the ball.

That one time a score was not a result? The Hawks had just two plays as they were running out the first half clock.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, thanks for taking the time to answer some questions….How many total yards have you thought that would mean the Hawks had a good offensive game?

Head Coach Charley Drum

Coach Drum: “We feel if we can get reach 300 yards or more then we have had a decent outing. If we have 250 yards of rushing then that will give us a good chance for a win.”

The ReSporter: In your game last week you did not reach that goal for total yardage yet you still put a ‘W’ on the record sheet.

Coach Drum: “We did some good things with other parts of our game like our Special Teams and Defense…Cody (Thompson) and Tommy (Clark) both played good games last week….Tommy has been one of our most consistent players and those interceptions were a key to that win.”

Canyon Lake’s JV taking Bandera Bulldogs to the Pound

Canyon Lake reverses last year’s season as they dominated Fredericksburg for another district win, 26-12.

“We kind of do what the defense is going to give us,” Head JV Coach John Barthels said. “Everybody out here likes to play football and with this offense, it can put other team’s defense in bad situations.”

Go back to last year when most of this team’s players were playing as freshman and a good play would be an interception on a two point conversion that would result in two points for Canyon Lake.

Last year this team did not win a game and those two points that were scored would be viewed as a huge play.

Fast forward to this past Thursday when Canyon Lake won their second District 14-4A-I game out of three contests with a chance of finishing first.

The Billies started this game with some degree of authority as they stuffed the Hawk’s running game and preceded to take just four plays for a score.

“That middle linebacker was hauling in with a blitz every time,” Running Back Cody Davis said shaking his head. “It was a tough game and they were fighting but we were also matching them we just fought harder.”

Glimpses of last year would be dancing in the fans head as CLJV would get in that familiar kick-off formation as the receiving team.

They did that a lot last season.
