Canyon Lake Hawks (2-0) @ Wimberley Texans (1-1) - Friday 7:30

[Tejastrue]

The Hawks come to Wimberley for this crosstown rivalry match-up and of course "The Battle of the Backbone." Texans reeling a bit from a humbling loss to what looks to be a very talented Giddings team. Canyon Lake is undefeated @ 2-0. Lots of smack talk and hard hitting in this one. Hawks have a solid ball club but I say the Texans bounce back in a big way and win it by 10.

[Pudlugger]

Hawks go in with momentum and will be tough to beat but the Texans may surprise folks. It should be an exciting game
Hawks by a smidgen.

[LHPfactory]

Hawks are much better than a young Wimberley team, Canyon Lake by 3 TDs.

Where have all the Wimbo posters gone? Humble Pie is hard to eat!

[Tejastrue]

You know I'm always around. We will have plenty to share come district.

Old gals pick them, every one
Oh, when will they ever learn

[1st and goal]

It looks like the Hawks have only allowed 3 points this year to Weiss, having blanked Marble Falls.

I don't know if Weiss or MF have very good teams or not, but it seems the Hawk's D is decent.

OTOH, Wimberley might "wake" up and cruise.

I say it's a coin flip IMO.

We have new stadium lights! That should be an advantage, right?

No, but the referee fund will.

[Tejastrue]

Ah yes, they don't travel well but...so much more reliable for the home games.

Sealy loved our refs.......and Hays County:thumbsup:

[Tejastrue]

It was all about making them feel at home. What a welcoming committee...and escort service. lol

[stardog]

Do they not turn on all the lights until kickoff ? Play day games - play all away games - there to watch the game or the stars ? Dark - Sky community !!! Will they turn off the lights at half time ?

[Tejastrue]

I know from looking at the stats it appears to be the same porous defense but the Texans looked much improved. Many stops for losses or no gains and a sack or 2 against a good ball club. Offense had way too many drive killing penalties and throw in a couple of turnovers to boot. One make-able field goal off the upright. They were in this game till mid 4th. For now there is a knack for giving up the big play. Still a loss is a loss. No excuses. What the heck happened to our home grown refs? Did the threat of rain keep them away? lol

No, but the referee fund will.

That fund must have dried up. :crying:

I kind of knew they'd struggle the first few games, lots of fundamentals/mistakes to clean up. After watching the La Vernia scrimmage my thought was then they would be 2-3 pre-district. There's periods where they look unbeatable, then give up a "big" play followed by sputtering offense with penalties. Agree, there is improvement.
