GERONIMO, Texas – “2 and 0” were the cries being heard from Panther Stadium Thursday night as the Canyon Lake Freshmen Hawks improved to 2-0 in district play and 3-3 on the season after beating the Navarro Panthers 21-8.

From the opening kick the Hawks made play after play on defense to stymie the normally methodical yet effective Panther offense as Navarro was only able to rack up 95 yards of total offense in the game.

“We read our keys and did what we talked about in practice for the past two weeks,” coach Luke Chapman said after the game. “Credit to the kids for taking coaching and executing on the field. We did a great job of being physical and each man doing his job.”

Canyon Lake could never get control of the line of scrimmage in loss to Navarro

Colin Baker Scores Fourth Quarter Touchdown

Panthers at Hawk Field Thursday night, 32-13.

Navarro did one thing well, and that was run the ball.

The old adage of run the same play until the other team can stop it was alive and well at Hawk Stadium.The Panthers averaged over nine yards per carry while the Hawks tried to find the ball.

Oh yeah, the Panthers did something else very well and that was hiding the ball from the Hawk defense. By the time CL figured which running back was running, it was too late to stop the positive yardage. (more…)

The grades are in for the Bracken Christian Warriors for the first half of the season. It should not be much of a surprise…A+

The Warriors have had four mercy games out of the first five games of the season. Which should give you a good idea for the high grade.

Bracken cleared the first hurdle when the Warriors beat Austin Hill Country, 68-48 on the first game of the season.

The team is averaging right at 62 points a game while giving up 15 for the first five games.

Historically BCS is averaging the most points ever at this point of the season. Last season Bracken averaged over 55 points a game based on the same number of games.

Bracken Christian might have just played an opponent they might meet again

Senior Kicker Kevin Knapick gets to the point after another BCS toucdown

in the playoffs in the next couple of months. The depth and conditioning finally gave the Warriors the separation needed for a hard fought win at the Warrior Field last Friday night.

Bracken amassed the most yards in the short history of the school with 583 total yards. The rushing and passing totals ranked second in both categories and by looking at the outcome, every yard was needed.

BCS entered the fourth quarter with a slim four point lead as the Knights had closed the halftime deficit by eight points. (more…)

The Hawks had a slow start to the season last year and the Blanco game looked like Canyon Lake would be put in that situation again. The main item the past few months in the football write-ups has been the inability of the team to finish.

“Last year we didn’t finish,” Head Coach Matt Monzingo stated. “Tonight we finished, we controlled the game with ball control in the second half.”

Finishing did not happen until the end of the season and now the Hawks have acquired the taste of accomplishment in the second half as CLHS finished the Panthers off.

Here is the tale of the tape between the first and second half. Canyon Lake totaled 108 yards in the first half. Second half? 196

Junior Linebacker Travis Walker holds on for dear life.

With soot-covered hands, Felix Rangel and his daughter, Ariana, 12, picked through the rubble of their home Sunday evening in hopes of finding a few things to salvage out of the ashes as rain clouds piled up in the east.
On Friday around 9:30 a.m., their doublewide mobile home, located in the 200 block of Caribou Drive in Deer River off FM 306, was gutted by fire in a five-alarm blaze that started in Ariana’s bedroom. The Spring Branch Volunteer Fire Department answered the call and was able to contain the fire to just the structure. (more…)
