Cody Daily scoring One of Three Touchdowns in Hawk Win over Panthers   Picture by Mark Robinson (mjrphotog.com)

Mountain Valley 8A team completed the sweep of Liberty Hill in dramatic fashion, scoring with 4 seconds to avert a tie, 20-12.

“Both of our 8th grade teams played great,” Head Coach Brandon Pawelek said. “Last week, we went over to Liberty Hill and got beat in both games, so it was great to see our kids win both games this week.”

The happy Coach Pawelek then put his thoughts for that last game, “Last week the A team battled until the very end and we lost on a last second play and this week we came back and executed very well on both sides of the ball.”

“We had to overcome 3 turnovers in the first half and our defense only gave up one touchdown during that stretch,” Coach Pawelek said excitedly. “The defense was solid all game long and our offense had some big plays, especially our last touchdown to go ahead with 12 seconds left….it was a really fun game for the coaches and the players.”

The ReSporter would also add the game was fun for the fans too.

Preston Nelms thinking about that next play in his pursuit for a win next week

Mountain Valley 7th Grade lost both games against Liberty Hill Middle School last Thursday at the Hawk nest as the Panthers brought a large contingence of players in both wins.

In that first game, Mountain Valley made a game in what was started as a romp.

Liberty Hill enjoyed a 16-0 lead going into halftime as well as dominating both lines of scrimmage.

Then, Running Back Preston Nelms was awakened with only 16 yards rushing in that first half, Nelms then turned on his after burners as he almost broke the 100 yard barrier.

“Coach asked who would step up during our halftime talk,” Nelms said with resolve. “Our lineman finally started doing what they were suppose to do.”

The MVMS Hawks came to Lampasas to run down the Badgers but it was the Badgers who took down the Hawks, 16-0.

The Hawks immediately felt the sting of a badger defense on their first possession, as the Hawks moved the ball down field 32 yards only to have a fumble ruin their début in Badger country come to an end.

Once the Badgers got the ball on their first possession it took six plays to score and to tac on a two point conversion.

The Hawks would mount some offensive drives in this game all evening long but costly penalties and an oversized defensive line of the Badgers held tight and kept the Hawks out of the end zone for this bout.

Roberto Vargas totaled 163 yards of offense in the Hawk’s loss to Lampasas

Mountain Valley 8th Grade A squad started with a bang but could not hold off the Badgers in a 8 point loss, 28-20.

Running Back Roberto Vargas started the game with a 40 yard touchdown run on the Hawks first offensive play but that excitement was greeted with some reality pills as Lampasas would answer all night until the end of the game with the lead.

That first drive for the Badgers had some good news for the MV when the defense forced a fumble giving the Hawks a chance to start with that one play drive.

Lampasas answered MV’s first score with a 6 play 47 yard drive to tie the game three minutes later in that same quarter.

Mountain Valley would have their longest drive in terms of plays on their next drive, going 13 plays and a 21 yard pass from QB Cody Kline to a wide open Vargas and another lead.

This drive had MV converting two 4th down plays before the pass play for a touchdown.

Mountain Valley 8th Grade B Team Ran over the Clock in their win over the Badgers, 30-0

Mountain Valley 8th Grade B squad won this game as soon as it started as the Hawks jumped out to a 22 point lead with in the first and coasted for the win over the Badgers, 30-0.

MV scored on their very first play when Paul Martinez soared across the goal line from 35 yards out.

That one play drive would happen again when Colton Eilers touched the ball for his only time during the game and made it count when he darted for his TD run from 33 yards out.

In between those two one play drives, Martinez would strike during that second drive from 27 yards this time as the referees were giving the clock keeper the ole, ‘run the clock’ and let’s go home signal.

“I was just doing my job,” Martinez said with great resolve. “I really depended on the line to open up the hole and I felt pretty strong.” (more…)
