Brianna Young signing to play with Frank Phillips College next year.

Brianna (The Wall) Young will start building a new ‘wall’ in Borger, Texas as she signed a scholarship for Frank Phillips College Plainsman in Softball.

Young did not play young as she immediately brought a replacement at catcher when Katy Payne graduated.

Canyon Lake will now be looking for their third catcher this next season.

Young was nicknamed The Wall by her teammates as she had a way of blocking the plate and looking at the carnage as she trotted back to the dugout after recording an out.

“I’m excited,” Young started when asked about signing on the dotted line. “I just want to work and play hard to find anyway to play next year.”

Christian Dittman Jumping into Canyon Lake Records

The ReSporter would now like to show off the best ever in Track & Field.

This is one of the sports that has had more success through the years. Canyon Lake finished second to Fredericksburg a couple of years and even when they might not have won district, the Hawks could out point most of their district foes at the State Meet.

Case in point was last season when Marisa Ellis won State in the High Jump.

Take a look with their performance mentioned first and then the year that athlete had that time or distance. Also if you see an athlete with Bold Green then you have an opportunity to see them again since they have more years to climb the charts.

Canyon Lake lived to see another day as Cody Powell pitched a complete game one hitter in dominating the

Southpaw Cody Powell pulls out a must win game pitching CL into a 3 team playoff

Panthers for the second time this season with the win.

Nick Cahill also had a decent day going 4 for 4 from the plate with 3 rbi helping to raise his batting average from .339 to .383.

Canyon Lake will be playing again tomorrow against Fredericksburg as the three way tie will be played out in order to see who finishes 3rd and 4th. With one of the three teams leaving without their uniform and out of the dance.

This game also broke a losing streak just in time to help with that all important confidence builder type of contest.

This is The ReSporter’s last Coaches Corner for Softball as we find out about the season that just finished.

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter: What are some areas that you will wanting these girls to work on as we wait for their opening next season?

Coach Gallagher: “I want each player to work on the basics. Throwing properly, accurately with confidence, along with their hitting/bunting. The speed and agility workouts. I would also hope that we have many girls playing in the summer. This is huge when you can play softball for six months or more compared to three during the school year.”

The ReSporter: How do you assess this past year in comparing Regular Season vs. District Season?

From Left to Right, Head Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher, Head Volleyball Coach Mark Lee (OLLU), Amber Ramsey, and Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

Amber Ramsey will be taking her talents to Our Lady of the Lake University to play Volleyball as she signed on the dotted line Wednesday afternoon in the Hawk Gym.

This was a first on many fronts for Canyon Lake as this was the first signing in the afternoon, but more impressive, was Head Coach Mark Lee for OLLU was in attendance for this occasion.

Two things that has not happened until this day, showing how important a student and player Ramsey was and will become.

Ramsey has been around for what seems to be ages as she showcased her skills as a Freshman through her Senior year for the Hawks.

Her height allowed her to show off her play at the net for her career and now that talent will be on display in San Antonio next year.

Hawks could not pull out a win over Navarro losing in extra innings, 8-4 losing their fifth game in a

Dan Krueger running for County Commissioner Pct. 4, Supports Hawks Baseball

row and 7 out of their last 8 games.

This loss will put Friday’s in game in desperation mode as Canyon Lake will be trying to salvage a playoff spot.

Now CL will need to win in Navarro on Friday or face the possibility of not making the playoffs.

Fredericksburg won their game over Bandera and share the same district record as the Hawks and a CL win over Navarro would result in a 3-way tie for two playoff spots.

A coin flip would determine which teams that would need to play an elimination game for that 4th spot.
