Canyon Lake Boys JV Win, 51-44
Chandler Faulkner and Isaac Mendez are the firsline of Defense
The second quarter was the turning point that allowed the Hawks to distance themselves from Navarro. Canyon Lake outscored their counterparts by eight points in the quarter and maintained that advantage through the rest of the game, beating the Panthers, 51-44.
Three of the players enjoyed double figures scoring, Caleb Kreiger 13, Andrew Riali 12, and Tyler Clark 11.
The three players combined to hit 13 out of 21 shots. That percentage did not disappoint as the rest of the squad pitched in finishing with a 54.0% from the floor.
“We were running our offense and passing the ball,” Riali conjectured. “That allowed for some open looks and made it easy on our offense.”

Also, you can add a 57 and 58 percent from the three point line and foul line and that shooting did not allow any doors to be opened to Navarro.
“Yeah, we shot the ball well,” Head Coach David Bentzen said. “This was by far one of our best team games…we were able to spread (the ball) around.”
The game was well played as Canyon Lake committed only 11 turnovers, not allowing any chance for our visitors to stage a meaningful comeback.
“Our shooting is usually not that good,” Guard Clark said. “We had been practicing shooting drills and ball handling and that helped us in taking care of the ball more.
When Navarro closed to within four points with thirty seconds remaining, Clark sank two free throws and then two more free throws from Forward Andrew Riali and the icing was put on the cake.
The Hawks had everyone who got in the game contribute.
From the two points for Sam Seeger to the assist from Thomas McIntire the game was certainly entertaining…even for the bench.
Next game will be this Friday at the Boerne gym.
