Canyon Lake Boys Lose to Billies, 45-35
Canyon Lake took one on the chin from the Billies as Matt Magness returned to the lineup scoring 13 points in another low scoring affair.
The ten point loss was just a three points deficit with three minutes left in the game, as the Hawks had to revert to fouling Fredericksburg to help close the gap.
Magness was not only the high point player (13), but he also led the team with eight rebounds.
There were a couple more surprises, with five three pointers from four different players.
Paul Davis pitched in with two in the first half while Carl Cook and Ancel Morel helped out in the cause keeping the Hawks close with two three pointers in the second stanza.
“The bench did fabulous,” Coach Maynard surmised. “I’m proud of the bench players.”
Of the 35 points scored, the bench players once again contributed 19 points, as Coach Jeff Maynard shuffled the deck and had Morel and Cook coming in after tip off.
“Ancel (Morel) games have been much better when he is coming off the bench,” Coach Maynard closed.
The loss puts Canyon Lake in a hole for a place in the District 26-3A playoff picture. A turnaround will need to convene soon as the team will now take a week off with an open date this Friday.
District play will resume next Tuesday as the Hawks play Navarro at the Hawk Gym.
