Canyon Lake Girl’s Basketball finished their Lampasas tournament with two losses on Saturday as they now look forward to District 27-3A action.

The Hawks went back to some troubling habits in those losses with that main habit coming in the form of turnovers.

CL had 25 and 32 turnovers with those two losses which turned out to be almost a larger number than points scored in those two contests.

Having enough able bodies was also a downfall for Canyon Lake as Hannah St. John was out with an injury giving the Hawks only eight players to finish out their last two games.

Taking care of the ball will have to be a major item needed to be rectified going into district play while also using this next off week getting more players healthy.

Saturday’s opponents gave Canyon Lake an idea of what type of teams they have coming up on their schedule.

Navarro and Boerne will certainly emulate those games with athletes that can pressure and get easy baskets.

The Lady Hawks had a win and loss in action at the Lampasas Tournament Friday.

CL had their seven game winning streak halted in the first game against Lorena, 37-22.

Canyon Lake did not score in double digits in any quarter and seemed to be still asleep in the morning game.

“We played lazy and unenthusiastic,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said.

None of the CL players made it to double digit scoring in the contest as the team could only score nine points in the second half.

Canyon Lake righted their ship in the next game when they beat Austin Crockett, 52-41.

The Hawks had nine players score in this game and Katie Williams pitched in with a double-double. It was her fifth double-double this season for Williams.

Williams finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

“We bounced back and took the lead early and never let them (Crockett) get close,” Coach Gallager said. “Katie had a great game in the second game. I spoke with her prior to the game and challenged her to do better and she did.”

Amber Ramsey had a pair of eights in points and rebounds.

Canyon Lake will play Lampasas Saturday morning with the tip off at 9:30am.

Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher

The ReSporter: Give us an idea of how you ended up with two week’s off this year?

Coach Gallagher: “Last year at this time we had already played two district games and thinking that would be the case this season left us scrambling for games. We did not realize until it was too late to schedule games. We called a lot of schools and did get our last two with Pleasanton and Devine.”

The ReSporter: What might be some benefits for this long of a layoff?

Coach Gallagher: “This break will actually help us as these girls will have time to study and do better in their classes. The break will also give us some scrimmages and conditioning. The girls worked hard especially in our scrimmages already this week.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about this Tournament in Lampasas?

Coach Gallagher: “We will have a four team pod system and will be guaranteed at least three games in two days and maybe four.”

The ReSporter: Who are the teams and what do you mean ‘Maybe’ four games?

Canyon Lake’s quest for another playoff team will continue through this Winter and Spring.

Right now you have two promising scenarios with the Hawk Basketball programs.

The Girls and Boys teams have a legitimate chance to snag a T-Shirt company this coming season with help to design such a shirt.

Soccer has been tough to garner a playoff spot since this sport has been dominated by much larger schools since these teams play in a different district than CL’s other sports.

Because of a reduced number of teams that play that sport, the UIL combines 3A schools with 4A schools to crown a champion in Soccer each year.

The same is true for Canyon Lake’s Swimming team in having a district with larger schools. Another fact is that the Hawk Swimming program is still in it’s infancy stage and that makes competing in this tougher venue doubly hard.

Swimming also is much like Track and Field where playoffs are based on individuals in each event advancing instead of a Team getting in a bus for their next round of events after a District crowns a champion.

Canyon Lake has a few teams that have not had a chance to compete after a district race yet.

The Canyon Lake Hawks had costly free throws in their loss to New Braunfels Christian Wildcats in their final game of this year losing, 55-49.

The Hawks barely outscored their second quarter in the second half as they went cold again during that time span.

“Being able to know how to score when we need to score is what we need to work on,” Coach Lucas Chapman exclaimed. “They (NB Christian) got us out of what we wanted to do.”

Canyon Lake was just three for 12 from the stripe in that second half and each miss would of either extended their lead or drawn the game closer during some very crucial segments of the game.

Andrew Riali had a spurt of three points in that second quarter giving your Hawks the lead going into halftime.

The Wildcats and Hawks were swashbuckling during the last minutes of the second quarter. Riali had nine points during a two minute stretch that helped give Canyon Lake a 30-27 lead at intermission.

The ReSporter caught up with Head Football Coach Charley Drum for some thoughts on

this past season.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach Drum, you have just completed your first year as Head Coach, What was a major thing you learned your first year that you will take with you in your future Coaching career?

Coach Drum: “I learned not to assume anything.  With the transition at Head Coach happening so late, and relatively few coaching changes, there was not much time for any significant changes with our offense, defense, and our coaching staff.  I assumed that what we had done in the past would be just fine for this year.”
 
The ReSporter: This year’s team seemed to be missing an identity, how will you address ways of getting this team ready for next year?

Coach Drum: “The coaches and myself met immediately after this season and came to the same conclusion.  We immediately addressed this with our offseason program.  We have made significant changes to our offseason program and designed it to correct the deficiencies we felt we had this past year.  The second way we will address this is running an offense and defense that fits our team’s identity that we want to develop.”

Canyon Lake found themselves at the North Pole on Tuesday night in their games with La Vernia Bears.

In fact, La Vernia could change their mascot name to Polar Bears based on how cold the shooting was for how the Hawks played in their games at Hawk Gym.

The Freshman team was ‘As Cold as Ice’…sung by Foreigner several years ago scoring just two points in their first quarter and with seven total points by halftime.

The Junior Varsity did not do much better, finishing with 27 points in their game, just one more point scored by their Freshman counterparts.

Canyon Lake’s Varsity team fared a little better, but missed lay ups during the fourth quarter that doomed a game that had just 13 points in their two middle quarters.

The Varsity Hawks did speed the game up with a press during the fourth quarter,  that did lead to several chances of closing the gap, but their end result was no different than two other games that had teams with Hawks spelled across their jerseys.

Missed shots and opportunities were in abundance on this night. Canyon Lake’s final stats was dismal when combining all three teams:

Team            FG Percentages    Three Point Goals     Free Throws
Freshman        10-46   21.7%     0-5   00.0%            6-22   27.3%

The ReSporter saw some Polar Bears in route to the Hawk gym after leaving.

Global Warming has been confirmed a hoax the Ice Age is another matter however.
