Ballroom dancing takes lots of room and the Panthers had no problem on the dance floor after locking Canyon Lake in a broom closet.

The game got ugly fast when Navarro found the Hawk’s girl friend to boot and did some break dancing with the Hawk’s date.

Two plays and a fumble for the Hawks and one play and a score for Navarro and with 11:02 left in the first quarter, the Panthers had already scored more points than CL, in what proved to be their second worse loss, trailing their very first game ever.

Blanco has those honors when the Hawks lost 63-0 on that night in 2008.

Mountain Valley’s 8th ‘A’ team started their engines too late in a loss to Navarro last Thursday night, 28-22.

The first half of this game was a clinic as Navarro scored on two of their three possessions and a defense that allowed MV no yardage for being stuck in the sand.

Mountain Valley only had 11 plays and accumulated 30 yards for a anemic 2.7 yards per play.

Then the Hawks decided to get after these Panthers when they took the kick-off and ran like a panther over the panthers.

Coaches Corner with Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: Hey Coach a tough ending to your season, what happened?

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

Coach Paisley: “I would like to start off by saying, that I enjoyed my first volleyball season with Canyon Lake. I have had amazing help from my assistants and athletic girls coordinator and AD. The girls have been eager to learn and excited for the new things to come. I feel that overall we have played well and improved from day one. Our skills did not decline the second round, it was the lack of knowledge and sheer fight that stumped us in the second round.”

The ReSporter: What would you do different, knowing what you know now after your first year at Canyon Lake?

Matthew Rhodes, Parker Reno, and Bryce Pearson after a successful season.

Mountain Valley climbed a mountain from the Valley and scored a big win over Navarro, 36-16 last Thursday at Hawk Field.

This game did not start well for MV as the Panthers took a quick three play drive 55 yards, putting Mountain Valley in a valley to start this affair.

Mountain Valley however would answer on their ensuing drive when Rolando Maronge capped a 65 yard drive from 26 yards out converting a fourth down with a touchdown.

The Hawks then proceded to get two defensive stops that was sandwiched with a fumbled punt giving Navarro a continuation of their drive.

Jesse Sarmiento helped even that turnover battle intercepting Navarro’s first pass of the game giving the Hawks possession and a chance to right the ship.

A methodical 8 play drive that still left too much time on the clock after Parker Reno converted a quarterback sneak.

Hawk Girl’s Basketball starts in Johnson City with a win

Canyon Lake started off their season with a win over a depleted Johnson City squad, 76-25.

Yes, JC had some Varsity girls prepping themselves for a State Cross Country Meet and that left this team without many of it’s stalwarts.

The irony might be that CL’s team is so young that this might have been classified as a Junior Varsity game instead.

The Hawks shot 46% from the field while forcing more steals than turnovers committed.

Canyon Lake had four players in double digit scoring led by Freshman Mia Riali with 14 points.

Key Plays in Canyon Lake’s Victory over Boerne

The Hawks had a game that will rank right up there with the Sealy game two years ago in excitement, as CL wrestled and fought for a nine point win last week after being down 22 points with 5:40 left in the third quarter.

There were many highlights and The ReSporter will replay some of those key plays from this victory.

1. After a long Canyon Lake first drive and no points ending with an interception, Boerne was poised to take a 14 point lead.
