Canyon Lake’s Cross Country team is preparing for their final run to the tape as District 26-4A will commence this Wednesday at Navarro (Starke Park).

Head Cross Country Coach MaryBeth Gallag

The Hawks have had a lot of improvement this year as in other sports, there are several young athletes ready to take over.

“Well I am excited for our team as they have been working very hard this season to continue improving their times,” Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallagher started. “We know it is going to be tough at district and we know that for us to have a shot at any medals we will have to run our best meet.”

Canyon Lake has some accomplished runners but it might be the future that holds the keys for this team.

“We have seen a lot of our younger runners improve and they have been a great addition to the team,” Coach Gallagher said breathlessly.

Skyler Tschoepe has first touchdown run in game with Bandera

Canyon Lake got back on track as the Hawks evened their district record after beating Bandera, 37-28.

“That kick-off return switched the momentum in the game tonight,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We like to be balanced in every game with our running backs…but we will take our positives and just get better at our tackling for next week.”

It all started after a Bandera touchdown on an interception early in the first quarter.

Matt Adams then fielded the kick and it seemed as if the Red Sea had parted and Adams was the chosen one to take the ball 89 yards to the end zone and help CL take the lead it would not relinquish, 7-6.

“It was surreal,” Adams said while commenting on what it felt like running through to daylight. “Coach Troy Moses said we would return a kick-off tonight. I just tucked the ball and started running as fast as I could, then I heard the commentator talking as I got to the goal line.”

Think about it, you had Coach ‘Moses’ telling the team a kick-off would be returned and the Bandera players parted like it was the Red Sea.

This win was Biblical in many ways.

Three interceptions matched the total for this year when two of those picks came from players that had been told what to do during halftime adjustments from Coach Bret Hodges.

Chase McCutchen likes running and is all smiles

Running back Ramirez for Liberty Hill had two runs for 27 and 28 yards for touchdowns in that first half would help the Panthers claim their lead.

Mountain Valley did respond with their opening drive of the second half when they drove 50 yards on nine play drive.

The drive was highlighted with a run from Chase McCutchen for 27 yards that help the Hawks to finish off with a touchdown when Brandon Robinson ran the ball in from one yard out on a fourth down play.

This drive almost took the whole third quarter and with one defensive stop another chance for a score with a chance to tie the game.

Mountain Valley 7th A team did not waste any time in their win over Liberty Hill, last Thursday night at the Hawk Stadium winning, 8-0.

Derek Peters and Nash Young thinking about ordering a Short Stack

An opening drive for 85 yards with 19 plays while converting three fourth downs was all it took to take the sails from this Panther team.

Ethan Slater ran the last four yards on that first drive and for all they knew at the time, a win, with that touchdown.

MV did not let Liberty Hill have the ball until there was just 1:28 left on the second quarter clock.

No, the drive did not last that long but the Hawks executed an on-side kick twice in this game and that allowed the visitors just five plays from scrimmage in that first half.

It was a three for one evening as MV had 39 plays to Liberty Hill’s 13 and a 21 to 7 minute advantage on the game clock.

There are not many teams that Canyon Lake can claim they have scoreboard in all of their games with.

Bandera is, at the moment, one of those teams as your Hawks have scored the most points and also have held Bandera to their best defensive output twice, allowing 6 points in two games.

Only one year did this Bulldog team have a break out with their offense and ironically it was a campaign that Canyon Lake still has flashbacks on how close they were to the playoffs.

The Hawks were just trying to score and get as many players on the field as they could.

Players to watch for Bandera? The ReSporter feels that Noah Nelson has been playing for the Bulldogs for the last 10 years.

Texas Country RV supports Bracken Football

This young man has had a very good year in the receiving department with 15 catches for 250 yards. Add four touchdowns and a 17 yard average per catch will give the Hawks defensive backs some much needed business.

CL has faced a running team these past two games and now will be a chance for this unit to step it up.

Another receiver with some impressive numbers is Averie Mansfield with just seven receptions but his 175 yards and 25 yards per catch average will certainly get some attention also.

Alex Willoughby-Gonzales is the Bulldogs leading rusher with 279 yards and over five yards per carry and this player will also come out of the backfield as he has six caught passes and has accounted for 52 yards.

Landon Ventura is another player The ReSporter thinks has been going to school way too long as he will also be a featured back with 61 carries this year and only trailing by 28 yards of being their leading rusher.

Joe Rodriquez is the play caller for Bandera, who has completed 58% of his passes and has 663 yards through the air with eight touchdowns.

Rodriguez does have 50 yards rushing so he could do some damage if he needs to escape trouble in the backfield.

Defensively, Bandera has been up and down as their competition has not been teams to strike fear in a team.

Fredericksburg had a good rushing game against Bandera and that could be good news for Canyon Lake since, ready for this….the Hawks like to run.

Canyon Lake has also shown they also can pass and QB Skyler Tschoepe has been making those passes count when needed.

A running team that can make noise passing will give a defensive coordinator nightmares.

Canyon Lake will try to induce some nightmares on these ‘Dogs and see if they can get them to bark while they are sleeping as they hope in trying to catch one of those many Hawk runners.

Go Hawks!!

Addison Farley going for a kill in Canyon Lake’s game with Yoakum

The ReSporter: Congrats on your game tonight…here are some questions for our next Coaches Corner.

Coach Paisley: “Thank you!!!! It was a fun match!!! We needed this match. Everyone got to play, everyone played well and stayed at our level…even with the change up in liberos and lineups!!! We were strong last night.”

The ReSporter: Navarro game will be a playoff game atmosphere for your group this Friday. What are you wanting to see in your team as they take the Panthers on?

Coach Paisley: “I expect us to come out strong and ready to play. We need to remind Navarro that WE are in second place and will remain undefeated against them this season!!!”

The ReSporter: How would you assess this team as you have seen them from their first game with Schertz to the Gonzales game?

Coach Paisley: “This varsity group has stayed thirsty from the beginning of season and until this point. We need to continue and carry this thirst into the playoffs. I always say we start strong, stay strong, and will finish strong!”

Two Blocks are better than one in win over Yoakum

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball team took care of business against Gonzales winning, 25-13, 25-15, 25-20.

The win clinches a playoff spot for the Hawks as they are now guaranteed a winning District 26-4A record and if CL lost their remaining four district games they would still have a better record than Cuero, Yoakum, and Gonzales.

This win was the 27th for the Hawks as they keep flying away from their previous 25 win season back in 2009.

Addison Farley and Mariah Ellis after their win over Gonzales

CL scored a 10-3 run as the first game got started with the Hawks running this set to a 12 point lead.

Bailey Drum led the Hawks with six kills in that first set and six other Hawks also got in on the scoring for a run-a-way, 25-13 win.

Addison Farley duplicated that same number of kills when she had six kills in the second set and playing a pivotal role in another win by more than 10 points, 25-15.

Farley finished with 15 kills and with Drum’s 16 kills, the Hawks had a good one-two punch.

“Usually, when we change up our lineups we struggle,” Farley deduced. “But talking more and playing as a team showed that we were ready from point one!”
