Canyon Lake Boys Win is Comfort(able), 49-17

Canyon Lake Boys Basketball improved their record to 7-5 after dominating Comfort, 49-17 last Tuesday night in Comfort.

The win matched the total number of wins Canyon Lake had last season and this before district games starting up.

The Hawks were in control for the entire game as the defense clamped down so hard on Comfort that it became unCOMFORTable for the home team.

“I thought we played really well tonight,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard said. “It was nice to see the boys rebound from a tough loss on Saturday and execute defensively like we did. When you hold any team to three points in a half, that is great defensive effort.”

Brandon Berger was high point with 12 while Matt Noyola made two three pointers and finished with eight points.

Canyon Lake had not been converting their free throws for the last few games and on this night made eight from the charity stripe at a 73% rate.

Carl Cook had a team and season high of five steals while also leading the team with six rebounds.

CLHS stretched the lead with a great defensive effort holding Comfort to three points in the second half.

“I was extremely proud of our bench players,” Coach Maynard finished. “They played almost the entire second half and did nothing but extend our lead and kept the pressure on Comfort.”

The Hawks will take the court this Friday against Gonzales at 5:30pm, while they ready themselves for the start of district play against Bandera on December 30th.
