Canyon Lake lost by a claw, 14-13 to La Vernia Bears last Friday night at Hawk stadium. A blocked extra point was the difference in this game as the special teams did play a better game, however the blocked extra point would end up haunting this Hawk team for another week.

The Hawks defense bottled up the Bears with only 251 total yards but could not capitalize when they needed too in order to ice La Vernia.

This defense had another solid effort overall and now have a three game stint of holding opponents under 300 yards of total offense.

The three game average is 255 yards and only 143 yards via the ground. Canyon Lake gave up 251 yards to the Bears and that included a 93 yard drive at the end of regulation.

“We played a heck of a game and our defense did a lot better,” Senior Trevor Duty deduced. “We did our hardest and I put all I could in that last drive. We were prepared…we just let off the pedal too much.”

That stat will tell you this team might be able to make some noise as CL tries to get their offense in sync and balance out each aspect of what a winning program can put together.

Canyon Lake was run down by La Vernia Bears as the Freshman team took it on the chin to the tune of 26-0, last night at a soggy Hawk field.

La Vernia’s running game was stepping it off against Canyon Lake as the first half yards were all the result of rushing plays.

The refs were also stepping it off against Canyon Lake, as they amassed 10 penalties for 55 yards. This was not referees blowing calls, it was a freshman team that was not concentrating on snap counts.

Stat line for the game was the total yardage for the first half:
 Canyon Lake    49 total yards
 CL Flags       55 total yards

Canyon Lake was still in the game as they were driving for a touchdown as the first half was coming to an end, as on the last play a pass to the end zone was intercepted and returned 95 yards for a Bears touchdown.

The ReSporter had a good time talking to Head Coach Charley Drum this week, we hope

you enjoy finding out more about your Hawks.

The ReSporter: Two weeks in a row, the special teams have had some trying times, what have you done to try to rectify this part of their game?

Coach Drum: “We are getting the kids situated and they were Junior Varsity players last year and so we are trying to get them where they need to be. We are going to change up some players in the games. This is easier said than done sometimes.”

The ReSporter: Quarterback Branson Belcher had the most yards rushing by a quarterback in the history of Canyon Lake last week.

Coach Drum: “That was one positive from last week. We are trying to get Branson to buy into this to be in his game. Two weeks ago in the Blanco game, he could of made plays with his feet and it cost us in some of the plays. He has never been asked to make plays with his feet.”

The ReSporter was able to catch up with Volleyball Head Coach Nicole Creek

to see where her team is in relation to District 27-3A starting next week.

The ReSporter: What are your thoughts as District 27-3A starts to loom?

Coach Creek: “We need to figure out how to combine a great offensive game with a solid defensive game and we might be, ok. Our offense was the best it looked all season last night (game with Llano) but we could not produce defensively and made too many errors. In game four last night Llano only earned eight of their 25 points. We made 17 errors to give them the game.”

The ReSporter: Have you settled in on your substitution patterns and rotations?

Coach Creek: “I like our lineup right now…but I am always willing to change it if a change is needed. I want the girls to be comfortable playing with each other at the same time.”

The ReSporter: District will be the toughest since I have covered Volleyball, in other words, you could have one of your best teams and still not make the playoffs.

This Seasons Games:
 Hawks 26  Blanco   21    La Vernia 13   Medina Valley   40
 Hawks 35  Somerset 54    La Vernia 40   Port Lavaca Cal 56

La Vernia will be CL’s next opponent and they will be bringing a very sore defense to the game this week.

This should be a quick game based on how the rush defense for La Vernia was abused by Port Lavaca Calhoun last week.

How about 642 yards of offense by the run. The Sandcrabs had three players with over 100 yards rushing. One of their players had 338 yards on just 23 carries.

Before you get too overconfident, realize that Port Lavaca is a 4A school and that can make stats look very one sided, for a smaller classification.

Canyon Lake won the stat battle last week but that still resulted in a loss on this season’s ledger sheet.

Somerset Bulldogs tore some feathers off the Canyon Lake Hawks in a route of special proportions.

‘Special’, since the loss can be attributed to Special Teams failures and Penalties.

“We told them last week that we were lucky to win that game,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “Costly penalties and we lost the turnover battle.”

“We need to get more intensity with our special teams,” Offensive Coordinator Levi Montgomery said. “We will show them what they did wrong and get it fixed.”

Take away the third quarter and your Hawks would of won by one point. However the rules still state for a game to be official the third quarter must be played.

“We did anything we wanted to do offensively,” Coach Drum beat. “Everything we did tonight is correctible.”

For the second game in a row, Canyon Lake’s special teams are becoming special for their opponents as Somerset started the second half with a kickoff return for a touchdown, a repeat from last week.

Add to that a pooch kick that was not fielded on Somerset’s next kick and nine plays later another score. In what seemed liked a close game after halftime, ballooned to 33-21 lead for the Bulldogs in four minutes.

Last weeks penalties creeped back into the Hawk’s game plan and on their very next play Canyon Lake had a 72 yard touchdown pass called back by a holding penalty.

“A lot of errors and penalties,” Quarterback Belcher chimed. “On both sides with the offense, defense, and special teams….just killed us.”

The Hawks could not keep their momentum and had a punt travel 10 yards and Somerset was looking at 59 yards for another chance to score. Which they did in eight plays with one play that had another 15 yard penalty helping a five yard gain become 20 yards giving the Bulldogs a first down on CL’s 17 yard line.

Canyon Lake’s Freshman squad started the game on fire, but the Sun got hotter and welted this Hawk team as they melted away in the final half losing, 20-8 at Somerset last Thursday. The 5:00 pm start had the temperatures in the triple digits.

The first score was set up by a great punt return by Matthew Adams for 36 yards. This play allowed Canyon Lake to set up shop on Somerset’s 34 yard line.

A Joseph Arredondo pass to Gordon McCleary for 10 yards and with 22 yards rushing from Cody Davis helped Arredondo to sneak it in from the one yard line.

Arredondo found Zach Gregory for the two point conversion and with the second quarter just getting started the visitors had an 8-0 lead.

The Hawks defensive five quarter scoreless streak was a thing of the past when Somerset answered with a 70 yard pass play to Villareal on their next possession.

Villareal was really all the Bulldogs would need for this game as he snatched an interception on the first play of the second half,  going untouched for their go ahead touchdown.
