The ReSporter had a chance to get some last thoughts from Head Coach Jeff Maynard

on the recent end of season for the 2012 Basketball season.

The ReSporter: “Canyon Lake finished this season by giving up 10 points per game less than any previous season. What did this team do differently than previous clubs to reach that number?”

Coach Maynard: ”I think that this team really bought into our defensive philosophy and once they saw the success they were having—it became fun for them. The other big difference in this team was their desire to play defense. That is something we have been trying to find with our kids and I think we have found it.”

The ReSporter: “The Hawks also finished this campaign with 170 fewer turnovers than the previous record in 2010-11 season. How did this accomplishment factor into this season?”

Coach Maynard: ”We told the boys all year that if they played great defense and took care of the ball, that they would put themselves in a position to be successful. We did a great job all year of staying patient.”

Canyon Lake started the 2012 campaign on the road, Tuesday against Marble Falls in a

hard fought loss, 9-5.

The Hawks are a very young team again this season and look to improve as the younger players get more innings under their belt.

The top of the batting order had an impressive on base percentage of .750 for the game which bodes well for having opportunities to score runs.

Daniel Camarillo carved out three hits while knocking in two runs as he continued his hot steak that started last year.

Travis Walker starts his third campaign for the Hawks with two hits and two RBIs against the Mustangs.

The ReSporter has learned of the passing of Dale Dehlin this Tuesday and would like to share with the family how much we will miss his countenance, help, and smile.

The ReSporter always could count on Dale to let me know of misspelling and other tidbits that was missed in articles written by this writer.

You could always see Dale at all the Sporting events whether it involved Bryce Dehlin his son or not. He was a staunch supporter of Canyon Lake in every facet that you can imagine.

The ReSporter will miss his company during games from little league through high school. Or, just sitting with him during basketball games.

Dear Dehlin family, know that you are in our Prayers as we share in this loss of your husband and father.

Our heart hurts and ask that if you are in need then you know you can count on us (Canyon Lake community) to be there for you.

God Speed as you remember the awesome gift you have received in a man that you had the pleasure to share your life with.

Don Holmes

Canyon Lake tied Smithson Valley, 1-1, last Friday and now find themselves with a legitimate chance of making some noise in district play. The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach Jeff Vaughn for some insight to that game and how the season is unfolding.

The ReSporter: “Congratulations on the game with Smithson Valley this past Friday…

Coach Vaughn: “Thanks. All the credit goes to the girls as I just stand on the sidelines and give orders and move the pieces around.  The heart shown by the girls is how we were able to get the much needed tie.”

The ReSporter: “What did you do offensively after SV scored in order to score the tying goal?

Canyon Lake finished another disappointing season as the Hawks said good-bye to nine of the 12 players on this years edition after posting a hard fought loss to district champion Boerne Greyhounds.

The Hawks were ahead with five minutes left in the second quarter, 17-16, but that lead was lost after a Greyhound 9-0 run and an eight point halftime lead.

Boerne finished district with an unblemished record and Canyon Lake would need to have an overall perfect game to complete the upset bid.

“I’m very proud of the boy’s,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard started. “They could of gone out and choked it up and they didn’t.”

“This is the first team that left an impression with their defense and that focus helped the younger players in our program.”

Canyon Lake started a new campaign in good shape as they whitewashed the Marion Bulldogs, 10-0 last Tuesday night at the Hawk Softball Field.

The top of the batting order was lethal as the Hawks had the first four batters reach base which resulted in a 60 pitch inning for Skylar Sullivan and six runs for Canyon Lake.

Mary Caroline Jordan started the frame with a single followed by a walk for McKenna Beseda. Missy Romero would not succumb to Sullivan as she worked the pitcher for 10 pitches and a walk to load the bases.

“I was very intense and wanted to win,” Centerfielder Jordan exclaimed. “I really liked being at the top of the lineup.”

The scrimmages are over and now it is time for Coach John Gallagher to put the puzzle pieces together.

“We saw a lot of players and now we have got to evaluate some talent,” Head Coach Gallagher said. “We have a clearer picture on where we can play players on Tuesday.”

The Hawks play this Tuesday at home against Marion starting at 6pm.

This will be a chance to see how a second place finish in District 26-3A last year will translate for a team that lost five players that switched their bat for a diploma last May.

In that number was a few players that made up the most important area on the diamond in the center.

Katy Payne, Tiffany Arredondo, and Alex Henderson were a few of the hard to replace positions on the team.

The Bracken Warriors spotted State Ranked Austin Waldorf to 18 points to start the game before playing even steven the next three quarters.

“Tonight we played with the level of intensity we are capable of playing,” Head Coach James Johnson started.
It is a maturity thing and we had to prove it to ourselves.”

“When we have been beaten so much this season the guys (team) had a ‘we can do this’ after playing a solid second quarter.”

BCS decided to start playing with two seconds left in the first quarter as Conner Higgins sank a baseline floater to start the scoring.

“Coach (James Johnson) wanted to run a pick and row in the second half,” Senior Higgins said. “This year was a lot of fun and we thought we had a chance to make the playoffs.”

Track and Field is one Sport that has given Canyon Lake a chance to lap many of our District 26-3A schools.

A look below you will find one part of the the team that has put other teams on notice. If the time is underlined, then that means it was good enough to win District.

Notice how 2011 races by our JV squad is close to beating our Varsity the first year of competition.
