Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake could not get any traction in their loss to Gonzales and go 0-2 to start District 26-4A play.

“I knew this would be a tight game,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did not execute when we needed to, we played good defense and we pitched well and we also threw two base runners on second, but offensively we were not on.”

The Hawks bats have gone silent with just 3 hits in this contest and failing to get a batter to 3rd base. In fact, that happened just once hence that one run scored on an Apache error.

Alexis Robinson was the losing pitcher but was also having trouble with her strike zone throwing 132 pitches with 59 of those pitches being called a ball.

Softball’s Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach John Gallagher after the Hawk’s loss to Yoakum last week.

The ReSporter: What is the answer to all of those pesky errors for this team?

Coach Gallagher: “All 8 of our errors were either from a lack of concentration or lack of confidence. All the errors were on routine plays that we make everyday in practice or in games. They have been addressed and worked on in practice.”

The ReSporter: You have pitching that seems to be excelling as you enter into district play. I know you would like to be firing with all of your weapons, between gloves and bat,which one is more important to get wins with pitching being the constant?

Coach Gallagher: “Our defensive play is more important at this point. We have been productive offensively so when our defense is solid we win.” (more…)

Isaiah Daily scores 2 runs and doubles another run in

Canyon Lake Hawks played their postponed Friday game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but not getting those needed hits resulted in a loss to Marble Falls, 8-4.

“We are not that far away,” Head Baseball Coach Trent Dunavant fielded. “We need to put our game all together, when we have something working then we will be lacking in another part of our game. In our last game we did not have a good fielding game but good pitching. In this game we fielded the ball well but our pitching was not up to par.”

There is good news however as this Mustang team had lapped CL earlier this year in the season with a short run ruled game and seeing how well the Hawks fielded the ball was a welcomed sight and playing a full 7 inning game and keeping the contest within a hit here or there for a rally gave the team hope.

Bailey Drum scores 41 points in Bandera Meet

Canyon Lake Varsity finished 2nd in the Bandera Track Meet in both the Girls and Boys team.

It was a decent night but when the Hawks finish second then that will make it a longer ride home as this group of students are getting hungry for wins.

Haden Lee was the high point for the Hawks as this Senior scored in the Jumps, Dash, Relay, and Throwing events.

Lee needs to be fed at a cafeteria as he wants to fill his trey with several different types of food.

Hawks Fly Away from Competition in Bandera Relays

Canyon Lakes Boy’s and Girl’s Track team both racked up points in their wins in Bandera on Wednesday.

Canyon Lake did themselves no favors in their loss to Burnet, 10-4 on Tuesday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The Hawks had double figures in the error department giving the Bulldogs way too many chances for scoring in this eventual loss.

Only 2 earned runs in this contest where CL outhit their opponent but just could not get their fielding to cooperate.

Canyon Lake closed the gap to, 4-3 in the third inning but in that inning, after a Rory Preiss rbi hit, was caught trying to advance to second base.
