Hawks Volleyball Come out Short in Loss to Two Titans
The upstart CL Hawks Volleyball came into this 3-team round-robin knowing that wins would be hard to come by. The outcomes were as advertised but Canyon Lake did compete and showed signs that this season could be better as opponents come down to earth.
Liberty Hill and Clemons were two dominant teams with several dominant players on the court losing, that had The Lake losing, 0-3 in both matches.
“We played two powerhouses,” Head Coach Kim Clemons exclaimed. “This was good to expose our team to a faster pace game. Two of our district schools (Wimberley & Fredericksburg) will play these type of teams before district starts too.”
We don’t have as many kids playing year round and it was important to see that and we had a lot of fun to learn from,” Coach Clemons continued. “We had too many unforced errors and missed serves but the season is early and this was our first day and it was good to get a good measuring stick on things we are not doing that we should be doing.”
On how do you (the Coaches) use these games with the Tex-Fest Tournament being next on your docket starting on Friday? “We were picked last in our pod and I want our players to use that hurt pride and be hungry to do better and show them they were wrong.”
You would need more than one measuring stick to find out the height of several players from LH and Clemons as these two teams had several players who could jump out of the gym.
Canyon Lake Ladies were led during those two games by Claire Schroeder and Emily Pena who both led the team in several categories that can be seen below on the Varsity Stats.
Good news was seeing those Freshman Girls pulling off a win over Clemons after suffering a loss to start was able to win the last two sets to pull out this win.
CL Hawks Freshman beat Clemons (2-1): 17-25, 25-18, 15-12.
Way to Go Hawks!!
