Mountain Valley Middle School 8A was just short for a win as the Hawks still finished tied against an undefeated Boerne 8A team, 14-14.

Mountain Valley’s 8th Grade B squad took the Greyhounds to a Horse Track as there was no way this Boerne team would leave the field with any kudos in a, 30-0 conquest.

“Our ‘B’ team played their best game of the season,” Coach Brandon Pawelek said. “With scoring 4 touchdowns and shutting out Boerne, we were able to rotate in a lot of our kids on the offense and we still moved the ball and controlled the clock.”

Yes, several players had a chance to run with the ball as 12 different Hawks gained yardage against the Greyhounds.

MV would allow just 18 total yards for Boerne while racking up 236 yards in a quick fashion.

Ashton Montgomery was nails in win over Marble Falls as he set up shop in the Mustangs side of the ball in Mountain Valley Win, 24-14.

 

Mountain Valley’s 7A team failed to score in just two of their possessions as Burnet ran for cover when the Hawks swooped down on the Bullpups, 28-8.

MV held Burnet to a paltry 2 yards per play as the Hawks dominated both sides of the line in having their way in this contest.

There was just one explosive play by Burnet Middle School when Moses Solis found an open lane to the end-zone after catching a pass for the only score for the visitors.

Mountain Valley 7th Grade continues their winning ways as the A & B team both ran over the Burnet Bullpups on Thursday at the Hawk Field.

MV B squad was first up by playing a defense that would have Burnet with only 2 plays that went for positive yardage. Two 2 yard runs was the totality of the damage these Pups would inflict on the Hawks.

 Greene, Bates and Ramey implore the Hawk Nation for their attendance on Thursdays as this week the 7th Grade teams will be playing Burnet at home while the 8th Grade go on the road for their battle.

The 7th Grade Games will be reported on tomorrow on the Hilltop ReSporter.

Go Hawks!!

MV Hawks 8B Avenge Last Year’s Loss to Texan’s, 24-8

Mountain Valley 8B squad were all over the Texans as the Hawks finished with a run-a-way, 24-8 win.

Ezekiel Martinez would be the final straw that put the game away after taking the ball through the line and then down the sideline for a 54 yard touchdown run.

Martinez accumulated 62 yards in that second half in the route.

Mountain Valley’s defense had a good effort after holding Wimberley scoreless in that first half allowing a 16 point lead that would prove to be all that was needed in this victory.

The Hawk’s Justin Hickman was one player that had some good penetration that disrupted Wimberley’s offense for much of the game.

“We played well overall,” Defensive End Hickman started. “I was just trying to keep the outside under control.”

MV lost just one game last year and that team was Wimberley, so this contest had a little more riding on the outcome than just being a rival for the Hawks.

“Yeah, that is what we had been talking about….we wanted to avenge last year’s game,” Hickman said. “We wanted to be the Avengers and that is the main reason we did well.”

The Texan’s scored on their first possession in the second half when they drove 43 yards on just 4 plays.

Two of those plays covered more than 17 yards as running back Mark Western go the Texan’s on the board with 4 minutes still remaining in the 3rd quarter.

It did not take Mountain Valley long to respond as their next possession was also profitable with a 65 yard drive when Ezekiel took the rock on the 4th play of the drive for the deflating touchdown for Wimberley.

A Texan fumble on their next time with the ball allowing Mountain Valley to take precious time off the clock as the Hawks would cause another Texan fumble and eventual win as the Avengers took the game and will continue their season with an unblemished record.

A Hawk Block Party in Wimberley Win,     14-13

Mountain Valley’s 8A team blocked kick preserved a, 14-13 win over Wimberley on Thursday night at the Hawk Nest.

MV started the game scoring the first they had the ball after traveling 50 yards on a  Jeremy Greene 21 yard dash to the goal line capped off the drive.

There was not much going on after that drive as both teams would buckle down with some solid defensive play.

Mountain Valley’s defense was pretty impressive during most of this contest.

 

                    Wimberley’s Drives:
      Start                 # of Plays     Yardage        Result
      Texan’s 45 yd line        4           44            Punt
      Texan’s 41 yd line        4           40            Punt
      Texan’s 40 yd line        4           13            Int by Rylie Terry
      Texan’s 40 yd line        4           30            Int by Jeremy Greene
      Texan’s 48 yd line        3           69            Turnover on Downs

Pretty impressive part of the game, but after Wimberley’s last time with the ball there would be a fireworks show.

With the ball deep on their side of the field, the Texan’s, would unleash Moses Wray for an impressive catch and run for 89 yards to put this game in favor of Wimberley after the pat was good, 6-7.

Once again, the Hawks would respond with a nifty 95 yard drive on just 6 plays as running back James Bates would pick up the majority of yards on a 59 yard run down the sideline.

“I was told to bounce to the outside,” Bates said in recalling his 59 yard tote. “I just kept on running but I was gassed when I reached the 50 yard line….but I have to give the offensive line all the credit because I could not have done it without them.”

Needing only 17 yards, Mountain Valley, would take 3 more plays to reclaim the lead on a Bates one yard run and a Rylie Terry 2pt conversion, 14-7 Hawks. That 2 point conversion would be the game winner as it would turn out.

There would still be 3:25 left on the clock when Wimberley would start a drive for a tie or win at their 49 yard line.

Mountain Valley looked like they might hold when penalties had the Texans’ with a 3rd down and goal from the 21 yard line.

Wimbeley’s Braylon Grant would run for 14 yards to set up a 4th down from the 7 yard line and less than a minute on the game clock.

Enter Wray for a bulldozing run for a score and chance to tie this game.

The Hawk’s would be ready as a host of players in Green would escort Greene for a block and win over Wimberley, 14-13.

“I usually don’t play at linebacker,” Greene stated. “So I just ran and their was a big dude in front of me.”

On Greene’s first touchdown run, “That was all because of the lineman….Possum (Duain Alexander) and the rest of the line were definitely on their game today.”

That was evident as that Wimberley extra point did not have a chance with a host of Hawks ready to keep that ball from clearing the goal posts.

A Mountain Valley Sweep of Wimberley would be a nice night of work

Way to Go MV Hawks!!

Mountain Valley 8th Grade Football Squads continued their rough and tough schedule as a 5A Marble Falls team came to the Hawk Nest to battle the Hawks.

The Mustangs brought a stout defense for both games keeping MV out of their end zone for the evening.

MV Hawk B team did score but had that momentum sail flap in the wind as the play was nullified with an infraction on the play.

It was a self destruct evening for the ‘B’ team as they used their first drive for 18 plays and after reaching the Mustangs 8 yard line the next 3 plays went backwards dousing the Hawk drive.
