Canyon Lake will be ‘on the road again’ this week as all sporting venues will be out of town except for our Boy’s Soccer

Hawk’s Golf is seeing Birdies this year with some medalist returning after winning two tournaments last year.

team.

This is opening week for several sports as weather has played a major roll with Tennis and other competitive events.

JV Baseball will be opening their curtain in Marble Falls and then the Varsity have a return trip to Marble Falls for a three day tournament all this week.

Canyon Lake’s Baseball Team has finally grown up and this act will be something to hold your hat on as the Hawks will be shooting for more than just finishing the schedule this year.

Both Boy’s and Girl’s Soccer were handed a loss to Schertz Clemens last week by the same score, 4-0. That is not surprising, as Soccer has to play teams that are two classes in size larger each year.

Canyon Lake started off with some noise in the batter’s box as the Hawks batted over .400 and have

Junior Kelsey Ahrens

a decent 4-2 record.

This is a young club and to have some bats coming out of the cave will bode well for a team needing to clamp onto all the positive vibes as this season continues in preparation for District 27-3A play in a few weeks.

Another encouraging development has been in the circle, as Kelsey Ahrens has responded with some innings that will only help by having two pitchers.

Canyon Lake has had one featured pitcher since this school has started play six years ago.

Brianna Young knocked in 5 runs in the first inning with power as Canyon Lake cruised

Carly DuBois making wishes come true in Center Field

to a 19-5 win over Luling Eagles in their final game in the Navarro Tournament on Saturday.

Young had a double and home run in a 12 run first inning to give the Hawks a cushion that helped this young ball club to a 4-2 record opening their season.

“Overall, we improved over our Thursday games,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “The players played hard and never quit…We will use these games with some teaching in the field.”

Every Hawk had a hit in this game as Canyon Lake batted around the order twice in those three innings before this game was called on a time limit.

CL starts the season with 5 home runs in their first six games and that is more dingers than Canyon Lake has had in their history.

Ahrens was one of the players with two home runs to start this season.

Cameron Berger saves her best for her last at bat with a single driving in two runs in the last inning

Sophomores Alexis Robinson and Cameron Berger after walk-off single

for a one run win over Pearsall Mavericks, 5-4 at Navarro’s Tournament.

Canyon Lake finished their first day with a 2-1 record with a 13-12 loss to Connally and a win over Gonzales, 11-6 in their earlier games on Thursday.

“I am very pleased with how we played,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did well offensively and hit the ball well and bunted well.”

The Hawks are so young that even their one of two seniors is Brianna YOUNG.

Freshman and Sophomores ‘make up’ many new faces, in fact, they might be so young that they don’t wear ‘make up’.

Isaac Mendez has one of his best games in final contest against Bandera

Canyon Lake ends season on a losing note as the Hawks said good-bye to four Seniors who played their last game.

Bandera finished off the Hawks, 67-48, as CL once again started the game in a whole as the Bulldogs finished that first quarter in the lead, 18-7.

Isaac Mendez did have one of his best games of the season on this night as he was the only Hawk in double figure scoring finishing with 12 points and also chipped in with 9 rebounds which also led the Canyon Lake effort.

Canyon Lake did finish the season as the all time leading Hawk team with steals, rebounds, and blocks per game.

Those numbers still did not translate into victories as CL finished the season without a district win.

Conversely Canyon Lake also finished this season as the worst team for defense, assists, and turnovers was only 3 away from leading in that category (2009 team had 3 more turnovers).

The Hawk Seniors did make their presence known for their last game: Andrew Riali, Tyler Clark, Isaac Mendez, Javier Mendez, and Luke Curry.

Player Quotes:
On what you think about last game and what wisdom for younger players:
Senior Isaac Mendez: “This went by quick….you can’t take days off and I hope for a different season than what we did.”
Senior Javier Mendez: “The season ending kind of stinks….the players got to understand the harder you work, the better you get.”
Senior Andrew Riali: “It is hard to say good-bye….this year all I wanted to do is concentrate on basketball. The players have to practice three times harder and work on what you are worse at doing. Work over the
Summer as much as you can on dribbling skills, finishing, and free throws.”
Senior Luke Curry: “We were building blocks for future teams.”
Junior Garrett Winters: “Ultimately, I would like to win some basketball games next year. We need to reduce our turnovers and just take care of the ball.”

The ReSporter will have final stats for the year and all-time stats tomorrow.

Softball Preview for their opening games this week.

Canyon Lake did lose several players that were mainstays through these past few seasons.

There were some bats and gloves that will need to be replaced this season and those puzzle pieces will be put in place before district plays starts up.

Canyon Lake Boys will be at Home for their last game of the season with Bandera this Tuesday night

This Week at Canyon Lake

Last week was a ‘Lost in Weather’ week as many games were not played or the dates changed because of those nasty elements.

The Girls Basketball team did finish their season last Tuesday and next year should have a team starting to make a little more noise as this year’s team was full of underclassman and to top that off, the Junior Varsity girls finished with several wins to end the season.

Boys Basketball will be having their final game at home with Bandera on Tuesday as they too will put those sneakers away for another year.

The ReSporter wanted to get with Head Softball Coach John Gallagher as this season

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

starts this week in the Navarro Tournament.

The ReSporter: What type of team (young or old) is hindered the most wen losing games because ow weather?

Coach John Gallagher: “I am not sure it affects either any differently because it’s so early on that everyone is looking to get as much work as they can before starting games. Obviously, it has hampered us by not having good weather to get in the work we need.”

The ReSporter: With a bad week of weather, how do you work on the basic skills these girls need to progress?

Coach John Gallagher: “With bad weather we spent three days outside working on throwing, fielding, and bunting. Getting used to the cold weather was the goal. We stressed playing in these type of conditions you need to be sure-handed and stay moving. One day we spent in the gym working on hitting and bare-hand catching with softie balls as well as catching up on conditioning.”
