School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.
The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.
MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.
Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.
Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.
Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher
Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher
The ReSporter: As District 27-3A looms in the next few days, The ReSporter would like to get a mid season update from Coach Mary Beth Gallagher before the start of district play against Fredericksburg at the Hawk Gym on January 3rd with tip-off for Junior Varsity 4:30 and Varsity 6:00pm.
The ReSporter: How has your young team progressed during this pre district games?
Coach Gallagher: “Well we have progressed and we are now focused on the details of our offense.”
The ReSporter: What are you needing from those players to do in order to give your team a chance to compete?
Coach Gallagher: “We have to do the little things like set good screens, make smart passes and finish shots to win in district. We know we will have to beat Wimberley and Bandera both times and we would love to take a win from one of the other three.”

play a tribute to this group of players.
Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.
Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

Canyon Lake could not get out of the gate in their game with La Vernia and ended up on the wrong side of the ledger, 75-54 last Tuesday night.
The Hawks are still searching for some pieces to their puzzle that will help put together some good results.
“We just have to find something to hang our hat on and right now we are searching,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “The good news is we have six practices and only one game coming up and that will help us refine some things and work on stuff.”
CL did have Andrew Riali with 20 points that might have this sharp shooter coming out of his slump. All the baskets by Riali were from three-point land.
Canyon Lake had some players out with sickness and that did not help in getting a good game rhythm.
“We played hard as always,” Coach Chapman closed. “We still need to improve our decision making and ball skills.”
The Hawks will be back in action this Friday for an early Tip-Off (5:00pm) at Canyon Lake against Lampasas.

Score by quarters: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final Canyon Lake Hawks 10 10 18 16 54 La Vernia 20 13 23 19 75
The Canyon Lake Freshman started their game with La Vernia Bears like they were the team in hibernation as the Hawks first and second quarter was a sleepy 11total points.
La Vernia capitalized on those two periods and held on for a 43-33 win.
Canyon Lake finally did awake with a 14 point third quarter which also allowed the Hawks close their 14 point halftime deficit to a five point barn burner.
“If we can put together four periods of basketball like we played in the third quarter tonight, then we are going to be competitive in all of our games,” Head Freshman Coach John Barthels stated. “The kids did a great job of staying positive both on and off the court.”
Canyon Lake finished the Hawk Classic on a down note on Saturday with two losses against Randolph and Liberty Hill.
The Hawks need games to get used to each players nuances and with time hoping that ingredient will jell in time before district play commences.
“We have a long way to go,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We still have a goal of working hard and to peak in January. There is still some stuff that we need to add.”
Canyon Lake is still on a first name basis among the players.
“We did a lot in those last two games,” Chapman closed. “We have played more games than practices.”
That statement gives a fan an idea of what is being shown in games now being improved upon as this season matures.
The Canyon Lake Lady Hoopsters won two games on Saturday in the Canyon Lake Classic to finish in 3rd Place.
Freshman Sarah Russell responds with solid game as she prepares for district play
Both games were slow starters in the first quarter, as the Hawks could only muster 5 points in each affair and in both instances were having to play catch up to finish on top.
These two games were must wins over schools that are smaller classifications and in the case of Lago Vista a team that had been on the losing side of that ledger earlier this season to the Hawks.
The Vikings jumped out to a double digit lead with 9 and 10 point runs that ended when CL had their two baskets in a row with 7 minutes left in the second quarter.
Canyon Lake finished that second quarter outscoring Lago Vista 18-7 as both teams retreated to their dressing rooms for halftime.
The Hawks continued their pace in the second half taking a lead on a bucket from Amber Ramsey with 6 minutes left in the quarter and what would be Lago Vista’s last lead in this contest.
