The Undefeated CLJV take instructions after sweeping Navarro on Tuesday night.

Canyon Lake’s JV and Freshman teams both swept the Navarro Panthers on Tuesday night as both teams find themselves undefeated in District 26-4A play.

“Nothing was easy in this game,” Head JV Coach Megan Helmey started. “Navarro has a scrappy team….after our tournament in the Hays Tournament we have jelled as a team.”

In the JV game, the Hawks, finally got the upper hand in their first game when they scored the last seven points to win, 25-20.

The game started with a CL run and, 4-0 lead only to see this Panther team storm back and take control of the middle part of this contest.

Canyon Lake JV found themselves down as many as four points, 17-13 before their onslaught would be unleashed.

Hayley Melone is Digging it, after a 3-0 sweep over Navarro.

Navarro was swept in a key matchup for District 26-4A top tier teams as Canyon Lake won, 25-21, 25-21, 25-14, on Tuesday at the Hawk gym.

The Hawks have an 8 game winning streak now, which will be a new standard for other CL teams to shoot for, but that winning streak might not be done quite yet.

Canyon Lake last loss was at Blanco and since that time, your Hawks have been unbeatable.

“After last season, everyone was gung-ho about making a change,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said intently. “I had never seen a team from off season to game time go to all the multiple camps and just have an attitude about winning.”

CL is only two games away from matching that 2009 team that finished their season with 25 wins.

“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift. And eventually we find that lessons learned from that discouraging experience prove to be of great worth.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

If you can learn from your mistakes then Lampasas is in for a heap of trouble next week.

The Hawks had so many self inflicted wounds from this game it is a wonder they were still in the game

Senior Quarterback Skyler Tschoepe has thrown nine completions in a row.

with a chance of winning.

“We made plenty of mistakes,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “From our special teams…punts…fumbles…and we still should of won that game with all those mistakes.”

CL will have to have a quick turn around as days go fast and another game is right around the corner, “You hate losing….but we will take something from this,” Coach Drum said with resolve.

District 14-4A-I will begin in three weeks and learning from these type of outings is paramount in how this season plays out.

“Our greatest mistakes, if we look at them, and digest them, and interact with them, and learn from them….they can be the greatest moments of our lives.”

Canyon Lake Volleyball improved to 22-8 and 2-0 in District 26-4A when they whitewashed Gonzales on Friday night.

Regan Mickey and Addison Farley all smiles after a win in the Tex-Fest Tournament last month in Wimberley

The Hawks are presently on an eight game winning streak with their last loss coming to Blanco three weeks ago.
CL has never reached this milestone in their short history. Being 14 games over .500 is four games better than the team that went 25-15 back during the 2009 season.

Even more significant is the overall record as Volleyball is now the only sport to go over .500 for all games played. After 225 games, the Hawks now have a 113-112 record and exceeds any other CL sport.

All the players got into action in this match as Gonzales is struggling as they have just one victory so far this season. It doesn’t help that this district is loaded with several good teams and an Apache win seems out of the question as they will be trying to regroup as this season matures.

The Canyon Lake JV squad had their game suspended due to lightning at the start of the fourth quarter

Austin Brennan and Dylan Dittman hoping for a 4 quarter game next week in Lampasas

as this game ended in an incomplete contest, keeping their, 3-0 record unblemished on this rain threatening evening.

CLJV actually had a good case of having the lead when this game ended as Wimberley’s only score was a result of a call from an official on a fourth down that was called roughing the punter.

That penalty resulted in a first down and the Texans eventually scored on that drive after converting another fourth down play. Wimberley did take advantage of that miscue and had an impressive drive for their score.

It was a fake punt that a Wimberley snapper missed to their runner and the ball rolled back to the punter. The Punter then had to chase down the ball to pick it up and try to get a punt off rugby style.

Canyon Lake missed the block but the punter was tackled since he ceased to be a punter and was fair game for a defense to tackle.

Mountain Valley 7th Grade gathering for their first of many after game talks with a score that far exceeds their competition.

Mountain Valley Middle School 7th Grade started their football career with a kick-off return for a touchdown.

Nelson Madera did the damage with a little help from his friends as he found a seam down the right sideline and ran for pay dirt.

“I just thought, ‘I can’t get tackled’,” Madera said while stiff arming this ReSporter. “It was awesome and we just want to get better and never stop trying.”

A little help from a friend came for Madera’s run, when Ethan Slater had a clearing block, that took out two Texans in pursuit and leaving Madera a clear path to the goal line.

“The Coaches teach us everything and it is those little things that helps us to do a good job,” Slater said with conviction. “They (Coaches) want to make sure all the little details are thought about….it was great being able to complete Madera’s run with a block and getting him out of trouble for the TD.”
