Hawks gather after opening day spanking of Devine, 11-0. Go Lake!
Canyon Lake came out of their chute with some degree of authority by amassing 13 hits (3 doubles) and in that 1st inning leaving the bases loaded. It was a spanking with their only blemish coming in the field with two miscues and leaving the bases loaded with-out a run scored.

A hard earned award as this Hawk Team has played several tough opponents as well as finishing 3rd in District 26-4A play.
This Broadcast will air 10 minutes before the 6:30pm tip-off coming to you from Canyon High School in New Braunfels.
The Hawks finished the season with 3 impressive games and will look to continue their run against a Lago Vista team that finished tied for first with Austin LBJ.

The Lake’s Lady Soccer team presently has the longest running playoff streak compared to Blake’s other team sports. These Texan’s are averaging 4 goals per outing which gives an idea of how well this Hawk team is starting to jell.
Hit Man way to get rid of Pests Hawks!
“Our girls are undefeated so far in district and continue to improve each game,” Coach Stracener started. “We are 8-3-3 on the season and had a 2nd place finish in our first tournament of the season.”
Canyon Lake has strung together some impressive outings, “We had a big win against 6A Canyon High School right before we started district and just tied Wimberley who is a top ranked team in 4A soccer in the region,” Stracener blushed.
“We knew that Wimberley was going to be a tough game as they had just come off of a win against Davenport, one of the top ranked teams in the area. As far as our game plan, we had 3 things we were focusing on going into the Wimberley game.”
Make a Deposit & Go Hawks!!
“The girls executed the plan very well. They did really well with 2 out of the 3. We struggled on the offensive side of things because Wimberley has a strong defense and put pressure on us much more quickly than any team we’ve seen this year. I am very pleased with how the girls battled and frustrated Wimberley,” Coach Stracener said realizing that the Texan’s have given up just 5 goals this season out of 15 contests. “We played great team defense and outworked a very good team.”
Things don’t get any easier as this district is always tough and represents good outings during the post-season.
“We will continue to build on the momentum from the positive outcome from last Friday going into this week where we finish up the first round of district against two more solid teams, Marble Falls Tuesday at home and Friday away at Davenport.” 
Coach Stracener shared bout this year’s offense, “Girls with top offensive stats are Savanna Oberholtzer with 21 goals so far on the season. Then Rya Clark and Kylee Morrow, 2nd and 3rd in goals scored for the team.”
Canyon Lake is still a young outfit and look to raise the bar as this season continues to mature.
“Our 3 seniors on the team, make up 3 out of the 4 defenders in the back. Their experience and leadership has been outstanding for the team this year and kept us in some tough games. Sophomore goal keeper, Callie Dominguez (was a defender for us last year), has stepped up and made some great saves and continues to improve,” Starcener closed with hopes of keeping this district slate in good shape.

Let’s Go Lake!
Canyon Lake’s Soccer teams started district play last week and the Girls tied Fredericksburg while the Boys lost to Freddie, 3-1.
Both teams will be back in action twice this week against Bandera Tuesday & Wimberley Friday.
Softball will start their regular season and new Head Coach Hope Gipson had this to say, “Our recent scrimmages have showcased significant growth despite early adversity. Through these challenges, we’ve gained game knowledge, confidence and improvement as a team.”
Coach Gipson continued, “We’ve made strides defensively even while challenging many to expand beyond their original position. Offensively we have learned to execute at the plate, move runners into scoring position, and create chaos with our speed. Overall, our game awareness has increased significantly while working through the many different situations the game of softball puts you in.”
Go Hawks!
Coach Gipson will have a home game with Elgin this Tuesday before heading off to the Wurst Tournament starting this Thursday.
Track Season will commence on Friday when Canyon Lake will compete in the Comal Relays in New Braunfels starting at 1:00pm.
CLake’s Boys Basketball secured a berth for the playoffs this past week and will conclude their district at home this Tuesday against Bandera. The ReSporter has the District Records below with an idea of what and who might be in store next.
It’s that time of year when all the days start to fill up with competition and little rest.
BASKETBALL DISTRICT RECORDS GO HAWKS Team W L Pct Davenport 8 1 .889 Wimberley 8 1 .889 CL Hawks 4 5 .444 Navarro 3 6 .333 Billies 2 7 .222 Bandera 2 7 .222 Tuesday Games Bandera @ CL Hawks Wimberley @ Davenport Navarro @ Billies
If the Hawks beat Bandera then they will be a 3rd seed and with a loss coupled with a Navarro win over Fredericksburg those two schools would need a tie-breaker to decide the seeding.
A Hawk loss to Bandera and Navarro loss to Freddie would still have CL as a 3rd seed and a Panther/Billie needing to decide which team gets penciled in as a 4th seed.
This year there are two separate brackets divided by enrollment of the schools.
Largest Smallest
Davenport Wimberley
Fredericksburg Navarro
Canyon Lake Canyon Lake
Based on the size of schools above, The Lake would have a chance of being in either bracket.
So, if there is a tie between the Billies and Navarro the winner of their play-in game would decide where the Hawks would go….a Navarro win would place CL with Davenport in the large school and a win for the Billies would place your Hawks in that smaller school bracket.
If the Hawks finish in a large school bracket they Austin LBJ and the smaller school bracket would be Lago Vista.
Clear as mud?

Let’s Go Hawks!
CL’s Boys have fallen off the table this past week after suffering two weeks and now find themselves holding on for a playoff spot. It is a pretty good chance that the other 3 district teams not named Davenport/Wimberley will absorb a loss when finishing their schedule through February 11th.
Hawk Soccer teams will start their district slate this week when both teams play Fredericksburg. The Boys start on the road where the Ladies will welcome the Billies to The Lake.
The Boy’s Soccer (5-7 record) have improved already with 5 wins which is 4 more than amassed all of last season. Offense has been in abundance with already scoring 17 more goals than the total 15 goals reached last year. Hopefully this could be a precursor for better things this season.
Softball has a full week of scrimmages while Baseball started their scrimmage season on Saturday with a round-robin affair with Flour Bluff and Calallen.
This week Hawk Baseball will play two home scrimmages against Harlandale on Monday with first pitch at 7:00pm and then a Noon first pitch playing Marble Falls.

Lady Hawks Soccer readies for start of district. (photo on file)
Canyon Lake Lady Hawk’s Soccer team has the longest playoff streak starting back in the 2013 season with aspirations of adding another year to that lofty goal.
This year’s team has one non-district left when they face Canyon on Tuesday and then will face off against another tough district even without Boerne who will be playing 5A this year.
An impressive 6-3-1 record scoring 27 goals while allowing 8 going into tomorrow’s battle.
Canyon’s loss to Davenport will allow CLHS see how they might stack up when they play the Wolves. The Lake’s district will once again have a tough group of teams.
The ReSporter was able to catch up with Head Coach Kara Stracener.
The ReSporter: Once again you have a pretty strong district, how do you feel the non-district games have helped in preparing the team for district?
Coach Stracener: “We have faced a variety of opponents leading up to district play. 4A-6A teams. Hopefully we have been put in enough difficult or different situations to help prepare us for what district will look and feel like.”
Let’s Go Lake!
The ReSporter: What have you seen from this year’s team that gives you confidence that your streak of playoff games will come to fruition?
Coach Stracener: “The girls look strong and are continuing to grow each day. If we continue to grow in our areas of weakness and play with confidence we will be on track to keep the playoff streak alive…”
The ReSporter: With the cold weather does that delay the progress you would like to have for this part of the season?
Coach Stracener: “The cold weather does not delay our progress, it just makes us tougher.”
The ReSporter: What type of goals do you want to accomplish besides the obvious make the playoffs?
Coach Stracener: “In the past 4 years we have made it to the 3rd round of playoffs 3 times. The girls are determined to go past round 3, possibly see a regional final game or even state tournament appearance.”
Now Coach Stracener will get to work for improvement with this year’s edition of CL’s Lady Soccer Team! Let’s Go Lake!
