Lake’s Volleyball Beat Cuero, 25-13~25-17~26-24 Next Up El Campo

                        Hawks advance after sweeping Cuero to Regional Finals. Let’s Go Lake!

                             Way to GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball (23-16) swept through their Area Round over Cuero, 25-13, 25-17, 26-25 as they will have a short rest before facing El Campo Ricebirds (28-11) in a Regional Semi-Final battle.

The Hawks had been stuck as an Area finalist 7 times previously and now will try to up the ante with another win.

Lake Volleyball was the first sport to win a District Championship when they went undefeated during that 2015 campaign but was just short when Sealy overcame a first set Hawk win before rebounding with a, 3-1 comeback.

CLake started this night with one of their best opening sets taking these Gobblers, 25-13. Over half of those points were a result of some salty sets from Senior Chloe Gray to an array of Hawks with Te’a Gonzales starting off with 2 kills, Gabby Fory 3 kills, Preslie Owens 3 kills in succession.

                  Let’s Go Lake!

That start had The Lake enjoying an 18-7 advantage with Kylie Rodriguez serving a 5 point rally and eventual first set dominating result.

These Gobblers would hang around longer in that second set clawing back to an, 11-11 tie before CL would again be in top form outscoring Cuero, 14-6 to finish that set.

It was the third set that had more drama as both squads were tied 10 times during this set before Canyon Lake forged to a 19-14 advantage and what looked like another copy cat win.

However, it was Cuero that got some pecking (or whatever Gobblers do) and took a, 23-21 lead that had Head Coach Daniella Villarreal calling a timeout, “I just told them to take a deep breath and take it one point at a time.”

Some unforced Gobbler errors and then two kills by Gabby Fory from perfect assists for Chloe Gray to finish flatten this Area Round Road Block that allowed a smooth drive home with a trophy that hopes to have more company in the upcoming years.

This upcoming Regional Semi-Final contest has two even teams according to Max-Preps in Texas Ricebirds ranked 335~~Hawks 334, Section Ricebirds ranked 171~~Hawks 170, and State Division Ricebirds ranked 46~~ Hawks 45.

The 2025 Texas Girls Coaches Association State Volleyball Poll just came out with Canyon Lake ranked 8th in their Class 4A Division II Poll. Wimberley is ranked 3rd in this poll to give some reference.

Canyon Lake will match up this Friday in Gonzales, Texas with the winner advancing to the Regional Finals.

Let’s Go Hawks!
