Sophomore Regan Mickey is setting the stage for Senior Lillie Sander

Canyon Lake had a big win against La Grange on the road when they scored a sweep, 25-23, 25-22, 25-23.

For some perspective on this game take these facts on La Grange.

The Leps had just won the Consolation Bracket in the just completed Hays Tournament that had 25 teams in competition.

That translates to winning six out of eight contests and before their loss to the Hawks had a 21-7 record.

“This was a good preparation game for district,” Head Coach Kim Paisley stated. “They will remind you a lot of Wimberley with their tradition.”

Hawks ready themselves for another ‘Point Hawks’, in Win over Sinton

CL Hawks make the Sinton Pirates walk the plank in last Friday night’s game, 25-19, 25-16, 25-19.

The Hawks looked in control on this night as they met a team that was playing students that were younger than they were.

Sinton had several freshman and sophomores on the court which might sound a lot like last year’s Hawk team.

The good news is that CL did not show any mercy as they disposed of this Pirate team before they had a chance to get a patch put over their eye.

Each game had Canyon Lake taking a lead and maintaining the pressure and not letting Sinton to get back into position to stage a knock out punch.

Class was called in for a pop quiz that would be on the docket, as BCS Warriors passed their test in their CASA, 51-6.

Sophomore Brady Beane takes control against CASA

“If football was an academic course then last week we had a chapter test and this week was a ‘Pop Quiz’,” Head Professor Lloyd Fields taught. “This next week will be our most important class when we take a 6-Week Test.”

Bracken has 45ed the Rams every year in this seven year series and this would be no different after a Noah Boriack 38 yard run with 5:20 left in the third quarter closed out the game.

BCS needed this to be a ‘Mercy’ game based on being short in numbers this season and going home early was a welcome relief for a team that played over 100 plays last week in Temple.

Senior Running Back scoring on his record breaking day

Canyon Lake woke up from their slumber this season and were able to have more ease in a win over Smithville Tigers, 43-14 at the Lake.

The Hawks had some performances in this game that stood out and made some players look super.

Running Back Josh DeVries had the longest run from scrimmage passing Eduardo Covarrubias 75 yard run against Bandera in 2010. Along with that record, DeVries also had the highest average with a lofty 17.5 yards per carry.

In that same vein, century running tandems in CL’s history, was also topped by 22 yards.

Canyon Lake’s JV team has now won two more games than last year as the Hawks awakened in the second half and inflicting damage on Smithville, without using their offense.

The game was still much in doubt at halftime as both teams struggled to get enough positive plays to counteract some missed snaps and penalties.

“We made too many mistakes and we have some things to work hard on in practice,” Head JV Coach Jon Barthels assessed. “I’m happy with this game, the way we finished in the second half, it sometimes just takes a while to get going.”

Coaches Corner with Volleyball’s Kim Paisley:

The ReSporter: What are your thoughts about where Canyon Lake is now compared to the beginning for the season?

Junior Hannah Wunderlich showing how limber she is.

Coach Paisley: Varsity: “We started off the season with good intensity, and with having played 25 matches in less than a month and school starting, we began to experience some challenges and new elements. I definitely feel we are back on track and getting a bit more rest now that Varsity’s tournaments season is complete.”

Subvarsity: “They are both working very hard from the beginning of the season and up to this point. We are seeing a lot of personal development and maturity from the players, and discovering leaders as the season progresses.”

The ReSporter: Have you been pleased about your tournament play?

Coach Paisley: “The Varsity has brought home hardware from all three tournaments this year! We definitely gained many learning experiences, playing time for all, and we have developed our mental toughness.”

“The Subvarsity tournament will be in Wimberley next Thursday and Saturday, for their Tex-Fest.”

Hawk Freshman listening for where their next Gold Rush will take place.

The Canyon Lake Freshman (2-0) team continues to impress as they started a ‘gold’ rush with their win over the Tigers in Smithville Thursday night, 49ers-22.

Luke Justis started the game off with a 43 yard run and the Hawks would not trail in the game as an incentive had been placed in front of this Freshman team.

“We (the team) saw some gold pants in the dressing room and we liked them and asked the coaches if we could wear them,” Justis said. “The coaches said if we scored 50 points then we could wear them.”

By ground or by air, Justis proved he was running for gold as he finished the first half by jumping to snag a pass from Ben Fulton with no time left on the clock.
