Plug those Leaks Lake!
Canyon Lake will have a frigid start to district play this Tuesday against an always tough Fredericksburg Billies squad.
But for this season thus far, The Hawks, have been hot with their longest winning streak and never starting district play undefeated.
The schools in The Lake’s district have garnered an impressive resume and Fredericksburg will be a good indicator with
Freddie’s four losses have come against teams that have a combined 29-9-4 record which gives an idea of this contest being an all out road war.
Go Lake Beat Freddie!
In fact, this district will have several evenings without a win just by walking out on the soccer field of play.
The top 4 District 26-4A schools have a combined 33-2-3 (.908) record and have accumulated 174 goals while allowing an anemic 22 before district gets going this week.
Need more? Wimberley has played the toughest schedule (.711), Davenport (.571), Marble Falls (.514) and The Lake (.500). Those percentages come by adding opponents record and then subtracting each teams record from that number.

Way to GO HAWKS!
The ReSporter had a chance of catching up with Coach Kara Stracener for her thoughts as CLake enters their next phase of the season.
The ReSporter: Across the board what does it mean to the program to finish undefeated in non district?
Coach Stracener: “I think this is the first time we’ve been undefeated going into district play which is exciting. We have been playing well and improving every time we step on the field. Every season will bring adversity, and the girls know that and are prepared for what our tough district will bring!”
The ReSporter: And did you get what you wanted in preparation for district?
Coach Stracener: “I think I would have liked to have seen some tougher teams because our district has some of the best in 4A in the state, but going into district playing with confidence is also important.”
Go Lake!
The ReSporter: This is ‘hands down’ the toughest district in the State at any classification. Do you have nightmares before each battle?
Coach Stracener: “I think this is one of the best Canyon Lake teams I’ve coached, so it just shows you that all the teams in our district are improving as we improve. Iron sharpens iron, so each game is always a battle, but it will prepare those lucky enough to make it into the top 4, which is our goal.”
The ReSporter: And if you have sane moments…what gives you those thoughts when thinking about this team?
Coach Stracener: “I don’t have nightmares…just have remind myself that this is a game, and we play because we love it and the competition is exciting. But at the end of the day, it’s a blessing to get to compete. Not everyone gets to do this…”
