RECAP FROM LAST WEEK
Go Hawks!
Football and Water Polo held serve last week while Volleyball broke even and Tennis continues their tough district bouts.
The Boys Water Polo (District 2-0) won their first outing (ever) against Canyon High School scoring a one goal win, 13-12. On Tuesday CL Polo will do battle against Smithson Valley (Start 5:15 Girls/6:15 Boys) and will have Davenport to finish the pool play round later this month.
In Water Polo the schools play each team once and then will be go into pool (pardon the pun) play….1st seed playing 4th and 2nd seed playing 3rd seed.
With a win against Smithson Valley the Hawks will be guaranteed being placed 1st or 2nd. This district has all the schools in Comal County.
The Lake is the smallest school in the State of Texas which can pose a larger hurdle to clear just based on number of students to recruit for a decent roster. (hint-hint…this sport is up there with Golf for a sport to play in high school)
Go Hawks!
The Lady Hawk’s Water Polo team has improved by leaps and bounds this season but still might be a year away.
Volleyball had a tough loss to Blanco last Tuesday but rebounded on Friday when they beat Randolph (22-6) to get back on track. Randolph will be playing Navarro this week and that should give CL a good indication on how well they stack up to a district opponent.
“Our win vs Randolph felt good as we played a lot better than we did vs Blanco,” Head Coach Daniella Villarreal said. “Randolph is a solid team and I thought the girls did a great job executing the game plan against them.”
On how the turnaround from the Blanco happened, “After the Blanco game we talked about the importance of consistent energy, momentum, and teamwork to make the magic happen, as we felt we had lacked that on Tuesday. On Friday we did a much better job bringing the energy and teamwork that we were able to get int a rhythm and the points ending in our favor. That 3rd set (a 10-25 set back) nothing was going our way as Randolph got on a roll offensively and we struggled to put the ball away. Although the 3rd set was not even close, I was proud of the way the girls were pulling together trying to slow the game down in the huddles between points to communicate and come together.”
On who Coach Villarreal thought had their ‘A’ Game, “Super proud of Gabby Fory and Mackenzie Dorn for stepping up as they both had 13 kills. Gabby being our middle, had 33 hitting attempts with a .303 hitting percentage. So that tells me that our passing and defense did an excellent job controlling that first contact to keep our offense in system to run a quick offense in the middle.”
There will be two more non-district (La Vernia away this Friday & Luling home that next Tuesday) contests before The Lake meets Fredericksburg on Friday 27th of this month.
Cross Country did not have an official meet last week but will be back in action this Friday and Saturday in Round Rock with the Friday runs having the Hawks qualifying for being able to compete on Saturday.
Canyon Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!!
The Lake Football team had an impressive night in Navarro after finishing with more rushing yardage than a slot-t offense.
A home game this Friday against a 5A Veterans Memorial (1-2) team as CLHS will be working on staging another win for an early 3 game winning steak.
Way to GO HAWKS Athletics!
