The Hilltop news sat down with founder and head cook “Martelli” of the beloved mud bugs and got a candid interview on this annual CL fundraiser.

                                        Crawfish Boil is coming this Saturday May 7th

The ReSporter: So when did this all get started and why:

Martelli: “Since there was not a lot of people around the CL area who love bugs, a group of parents got together for the love of the bugs and invited others over to enjoy fellowship and talk about our new high school and little league sports while the kids all played around. The first year was the spring of 2008. It all started off pretty simple; we wanted to eat crawfish and no one around here even sold them, so necessity is the mother of all inventions, so we rolled forward.”

The ReSporter: Since that initial event, when did this event evolve into what it is today?

Martelli: “Well the first few years it was just a bunch of friends getting together to generate friendship spirit, a get together for everyone, something these parts are not known for especially back in those days. As word got out each year it grew and one day we thought there should be a charge for folks to come and give money away for the youth around here for sports.” (more…)

Mountain Valley Middle School was busy in Wimberley last Friday as their District Track Meet had all hands on deck for this event.

“We are really proud of how all of our kids competed at the district meet,” Athletic Coordinator Brandon Pawelek said. “They worked hard all season and we had quite a few personal records throughout our boys and girls teams……We had school records set by Nic Rivera in both 110 and 300 meter hurdles, as well as, Devon Cordell in the discus as well as both 7th and 8th grade girls 4×100 meter relay teams.”

                MV Hawk Proud

The Hawks had several athletes that excelled on Friday with Rivera topping all MVMS students scoring 28 points after combining all events Rivera was entered.

Those boys hurdles will be busy next year for Canyon Lake as that is presently the best part of the Hawks high school team headlined by Brandon Courtney.

Well, Rivera served notice that he is ready to make his mark after setting MVMS bests in those events with two 1st place finishes.

 ========================================

Canyon Lake Sports start to wind down as the Hawk Softball team will playing their last game of the season on Tuesday in La Vernia.

This was a difficult year for Hawk Softball as this team had a very successful pre district record but just could not get out of the circle in district play.

What made last week win over Wimberley so satisfying was that the win was against the Texans and that would be the last district game for the next two years since Canyon Lake will moving west for their district games.

Baseball is entering into their last 3 games with one game this week in La Vernia and then an off day on Friday.

CL will have their last week of action next week when they play Yoakum away and then Senior Day with Gonzales on that Friday.

Track & Field will be in action in Liberty Hill this Thursday as the Hawks will do battle with District 25-4A Schools and our district qualifiers for a chance to compete the next week in TAMU-Kingsville.

Canyon Lake has a chance of sending several athletes this Thursday as the Hawks will need to finish in the top 2 to keep their eyes on getting to Austin.

The ReSporter added some Mountain Valley schedules for this week as you can have a chance of seeing some future CLHS Hawks compete.

Go Hawks!!

The ReSporter had an advertisement for the community a couple of weeks ago for a 5K Hawk Trot for the Canyon Lake Feeder schools.

Elizabeth Stearns was in charge of this event and The ReSporter had a chance to get news on how the extravaganza went.

The ReSporter: What is the history for this event?

Stearns: “We had our first 5K with just Startzville Elementary Nov 17, 2012 and then decided we needed to make it a community event. I am a runner and my kids beg to do the obstacle runs with me but most have an age limit. Because of that I wanted to make this an obstacle course that the whole family could do. I want our community to love being active together.”

The ReSporter: What is your purpose so you can get the word out for next year?

Hawks Win District in beating Boerne, 20-12    www.mjrphotog.com

Another year another District Championship for the Mountain Valley 8th A team as they swept through their middle school years with two top of the heap years on the gridiron in stopping Boerne, 20-12.

Roberto Vargas sees a huge hole going for one of his two touchdowns

“Our kids fought hard to pull out a win that sealed the district championship,” Head Coach Brandon Pawelek. “We had to overcome some costly penalties but we were able to score and come up with stops when we needed to.”

Mountain Valley found themselves down in the third quarter after a Boerne opening score to start the second half.

Then a methodical 11 play drive covering 64 yards would allow MV to take the lead and eventually the game in grand fashion.

Mountain Valley’s 8th Grade B football team came from a one win team last year to winning a District Champion after shutting out Boerne, 16-0.

“Our B-team played great on both sides of the ball,” Head Coach Raymond Amaro said. “It is difficult to beat a good team twice, but our boys worked hard all week in practice and were ready.”

It was all about the defense on Thursday as MVMS 8B team started this day giving up 4 yards on the Greyhounds first drive then would block their punt.

That would allow the Hawks with a 30 yard drive as this drive was highlighted after a Colton Eilers 21 yard run giving MV a first down on Boerne’s 5 yard line.

Troy Eyster and Noah Du Menial  are all smiles after Blurring the Billies and both moving up to MVMS A Team

The Mountain Valley 7th A Squad was all over Fredericksburg like read is over a book, 32-0.

This game was all MV Hawks as both the defense and offense control the line of scrimmage with a shut out and almost 300 yards of offense as this Billie team would need to explain all of those brands left on their back side when the got home.

Enter, Running Back Troy Eyster, who could have scored twice on each of his runs as he lapped the Billies with each carry.

Try this on for size: Runs for Eyster would consist of yardage of 13, 30, 27, and 25 yard touchdown to run out the clock.

Actually Eyster was so fast he really did run out the clock as their was still :35 seconds left on this running clock when he scored and no more plays needed as the running clock was kept on in trying to catch this runner.

“We were focused in practice this week,” Eyster batted an eye. “The offensive line is great and they always make holes for me to run through this week and we will got ready after last week’s loss.”

Has The ReSporter mentioned that Eyster is fast yet?
