Mountain Valley 7A team whitewashed the Greyhounds from Boerne on Thursday at Hawk Stadium.

The drive was right before halftime when this Hawk team took the ball on their 13 yard line after Caimen McDonough intercepted a Greyhound pass stopping a drive that would of had Boerne drawing first blood.

Mountain Valley set up shop on their 13 yard line and then proceeded to drive 87 yards in 12 plays to take the lead and in so doing taking the air out Boerne’s balloon.

Two passes for 32 yards and eight running plays that covered 55 yards and the touchdown.

The Hawks had 153 total yards and 87 of those yards were on this one drive.

Running back Micah St John had 68 yards rushing and 24 came on this drive, with the final seven ending this set of downs.

“I was able to see the what the defense was doing and then I started doing what the Coaches had taught me,” St John said. “I planted my foot and just went the other way.”

St John was commenting on how he got yardage on one of his runs and made yardage out of a play that could of had a loss on that play.

Canyon Lake wins first District 27-3A Volleyball game against Bandera last Tuesday night on the road.

The Hawks won this match in five games in a topsy turvy manner. Winning the first two games of the match, then following that with two losses.

Going into their fifth game after losing the last two games had to be nerve racking.

“Last night we had our eye on giving us a chance at playoff and we knew that we had to win last night,” Head Coach Nicole Creek started. “The girls were extremely determined going into that game and did everything it took to win.”

Canyon Lake is 1-4 going into their District part of the season.

What is interesting is that Canyon Lake has had many stats that would indicate a record that could be better if you did not know any results of games.

Only six yards separate CL with teams played. The Hawks have a better per rush average and a better yards per catch.

Canyon Lake is also winning the turnover battle giving up three while forcing six so far this season.

The Hawks have been penalized over 100 yards more than their counterpart, which is certainly a negative and many games can be traced to this as a reason for a loss or two.

The good news is that there was rain at Hawk Stadium, Friday night as La Grange started a deluge and kept raining on the Hawks through three quarters until they called off the Leopards in the fourth quarter and let Canyon Lake score.

“We have got to work on our psyche,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We need to do some soul searching. We could not move the ball and we need some players to step it up.

This game was not pretty as Canyon Lake had no answers for the La Grange running game and conversely could not find their own running game.

The Leopards came into this game with two straight shut-outs and continued to keep the clamps on Canyon Lake with two first downs and a team that could not sniff the 50 yard line for the first half.

The Hawks finally passed the 50 on their last drive of the evening where they also accumulated five first downs giving them seven for the evening.

The Mountain Valley 8th grade football team forged into the lead and never took their foot off the San Antonio Christian Lions in winning, 14-0 last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.

The best of both worlds happened in the first quarter as MV Hawks forced a turnover on their three yard line and then drove 96 yards for their first and what proved to be the only touchdown they would need on this night.

A 35 yard reception by Heath McDonough was the back breaker on this drive as Quarterback Dylan Compton took control behind center to drive the Hawks for the score.

Mountain Valley would put more distance between these two schools in the second quarter when they finished a 6 play 57 yard drive that added the insurance needed to rest easier for the Hawks.

Running back Hayden Reed would start this drive with a 19 yard run and be responsible for 44 of the 57 yards on three carries.

Mountain Valley Seventh Grade beat SAC Eagles last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium 30-14 for their second win of the season.

The game did take a wake up call from a 73 yard kick-off return by Cruz Flores that got the Hawks going on the right track. And when that happened this MV team showed they were ready to tame these Lions from San Antonio.

With time running out in the first half, SAC drove 69 yards in five plays that put the Lions up by a touchdown. The major damage was a pinball run from Zach Zinsmyer from 48 yards out and the score.

Mountain Valley proceeded with an answer with a nifty right up the middle kick-off return from Flores and a quick answer of 12 seconds to put this Hawk team on the board.

“I was just trying to find an open hole,” Kick returner Flores started. “I had to make up for the mistake I made earlier in the game.”

Friday night at Hawk Stadium 7:30pm

History: First game between the two schools.

This Years Games:
 Hawks 26  Blanco     21       Leopards 36  Marble Falls  56
 Hawks 35  Somerset   54       Leopards 46  Columbus      07
 Hawks 13  La Vernia  14       Leopards 48  Royal         00
 Hawks 31  Burnet     37       Leopards 47  Needville     00

La Grange will be coming into this game with a three game winning streak and this squad has not been scored on in their last two games.

How about 141 points offensively while giving up just one touchdown in their last three games.

Junior running back Rodney Filmore will be a player Canyon Lake will need to focus on in the backfield to keep the Leopards at bay.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach Drum, the weather forecast might be calling for rain this Friday.

How will this affect the game if at all?

Coach Drum: “It should not alter our game plan, last week Burnet took away our running game and we switched to passing and we did fine.”

The ReSporter: La Grange has a strong running game, does that play to our strength defensively?

Coach Drum: “I really don’t know what our strength is right now. Yes and no, in the past couple of games we had shut down our opponent’s rushing game, but last week Burnet opened up the field and we had a hard time stopping either one, they (Burnet) took advantage of us in open space.”
