The Lake Boy’s Track will have 7 athletes competing in 4 events in Region IV.
FLY FAST HAWKS!
The Lake will be off to the races this week against Region IV schools for a chance of being in that final and ultimate prize ~ State Meet.
Track & Field is a sport where each competitor has two goals. Win an event and/or achieve a personal best (PR).
With each meet during this time of the season athletes are worked through a sieve that eventually only has two that reach that next round.
Go Fast Lake!
The times and distances below will not have every athlete is showing a mark.
The ReSporter only has events that involve a Hawk. The list reflects how our Lake’s time/distance squares up with other schools. This allows you to see what would need to be done to advance to State.
If athletes haven’t performed better than a Hawk Athlete then they will not have their showing~showing, unless their time or mark was close enough to make a difference.
Plug those Leaks Fast Lake!
Hence, that first salvo (qualifying) comes into play with that second part of achieving a PR in their event.
Region IV in Kingsville will begin this Friday with finals for all the Field Events and 3200 Meter Run.
There were four athletes from Area Meet who made the cut for this Region Meet which will now have qualifying running events for Saturday and crowning those two athletes that make the State Meet.
The Lake Boys have four events as follows:
4x200 Meter Relay
Gage Jones, Peyton King 1:30.96
Chris Brown, Tristan Alexander
1:27.82 Wimberley
1:27.92 Lago Vista
1:28.11 Austin LBJ
1:28.42 Gonzales
1:28.89 Bay City
1:28.97 Sinton
This will be a tough road for Canyon Lake but in Relays there is more moving parts (pardon the pun) and chances for a faster school getting disqualified. With a good run a PR is possible as this time by The Lake stands as the 2nd fastest and topping that would be a great year.
1:30.29 was made back during the 2018 season with these 4 athletes.
Cardosa, Greyson Lee, Rose and Boehm.
1600 METER RUN Gibson Cover 4:41.39
4:35.28 La Feria
4:35.53 La Feria
4:37.53 Tulosa
4:38.47 Rio Grande City
4:39.28 Floresville
4:41.39 Gibson Cover
This will be interesting as Cover improved in the Area Meet right at 9 seconds and still seemed to have more in his tank.
Is it possible? Certainly as longer runs can have seconds better when adrenaline and competing against faster athletes.
Cover ran the fastest 1600 meter in Hawk history by over 4 seconds passing Alek Villavicencio’s 4:45.83 in 2023.
HIGH JUMP Peyton King 6-00
Anthony Hockman 5-10
6-04 Floresville
6-03 Devine
6-03 Rockport
6-02 Gonzales
6-02 Cuero
6-02 La Marque
Interesting event when Hockman jumped 6-02 earlier this year so we certainly know he could reach that measure. King PRed at the Area Meet and so the question? Can he repeat another PR at Region.
Another event that anything can happen in going back 13 years ago when Marisa Ellis won State in this event and topped her all-time best by 4 inches that day. The all-time best is Jordan Anderson who reached 6-06 and performed in State the same year Ellis won the Ladies side.
TRIPLE JUMP Jacob Price 42-07
46-10 Sweeney
44-09 Cuero
44-08 Long Creek
44-02 Somerset
43-07 Devine
43-06 Lago Vista
Price will have a tough event after PRing at Area and will need to have another PR in this Meet. He did reach the 2nd best Triple Jump at Area but is still behind Caimen McDonough who jumped 43-04 during the 2018 season,
Should be a competitive meet for a Hawk Track Team that certainly PRed this season with great showings.
Way to GO LAKE!

GO LAKE
Alignment for this upcoming year has presented a lot of changes for these next two years as The ReSporter will point out for each sport which schools will be battling for those coveted post-season extended seasons.
These past two campaigns had football relegated going south by playing Uvalde~Pleasanton~Somerset schools. These next two years the UIL has switched Canyon Lake back north (for the most part) by replacing the schools just mentioned with schools from the Austin area.
There is one exception being Kerrville Tivy making their appearance for the first time and now the largest district, The Lake, has played since their first season. Austin Northeast will be another school The Hawks have yet to play along with Tivy.
Keep it Going Hawks!
“I’m excited about the 2026-2028 UIL realignment and the challenges it presents with our new opponents,” Head Football Coach Sam Parker opined. “Competing against a district full of well-coached teams will push us to elevate our game. With these new challenges comes a significant opportunity for growth within our program. I look forward to seeing our athletes rise to the occasion and develop both individuality and as a team.”
The Hawk’s Football will switch strengths from Offense (Strength) & Defense (Work in Progress)…last year it was the defense that had more returning starters which has switched for this coming season.
Go Lake & Congrats on Great Year!
Below, you will see 8 teams now in District 13 and will have District 14 for the first round playoff opponents. There are 3 schools in this district that played The Lake during that 2 year span.
Canyon Lake had a combined 5-1 record against those three schools.
With 3 Non-District contests that have two schools, Lago Vista & Valley Creek View as first time opponents and then that Battle-of the Backbone where The Lake has had to set up a chiropractor to help all those back-pains given by these Texans who have an impressive, 15-3 record against your Hawks.
A GPS will be an useful instrument with 4 schools being first time to play for The Lake.
This year’s football schedule as well as the Hawk’s District in other sports with the District Schools that will pose those first round post-season play.

Bryce May finished this season on a hot streak. Way to Finish Bryce & Go Lake!
Great Season Lake!
Canyon Lake’s Baseball team was ousted from the playoffs after being swept by a very good Floresville Tigers team.
You could make a point that The Lake had been in playoff mode since before district was finished as they amassed a, 1-7 district record with just two schools remaining on their district schedule.
Needing to win was put in place then as CL finished with a 5-1 record before this final series with the Tigers.
Some of that turn-a-round came about when pitcher Cullen Barnhart, being able to pitch, after an injury during the season had relegated his season playing first base.
In fact, this season The Lake used 12 different pitchers which was the most in Hawk history in trying to find two pitchers who could represent your two district weekly games.
Go Lake & Congrats on Great Season!
Head Coach Victor Escamilla commented on this year’s seniors, “A lot of these seniors played on varsity for three years and played a big part and gave us a lot of leadership and led on the field with communicating our expectations.”
CLake will be losing all three outfield positions and Coach Escamilla commented on what expectations for next year’s team, “These kids already know that we will have holes in the out-field and we are going to have a place for you if you can put the work in for those spots.”
“Our pitching will be a big question mark too and we will just have to get going there and find our hitters who can excel in the outfield and if you can hit then you don’t sit….we will find a place for you,” Escamilla was quick to his point.
Seeing how well Barnhart performed during this past month will give hope for one spot on the pitching mound as well as seeing Freshman Jacob Little and Sophomore Jace McGoldrick putting up some impressive work on the pitching mound.
Ryan Rena was on fire during these past two months and looking below you will see how his maturation has blossomed this past campaign.

Head Coach Lee Self for CL’s Green Squad was glowing with how well this team performed as well as Gold team players could make a significant jump with another year of off-season work and growth.
Proud of You Hawks!
Just a matter of time and a chance for many of those sub-varsity players to put the work in and as Coach Escamilla said earlier, “If you can hit then you won’t sit!”
Go Lake!

Lake win Bi-District & now will face off against Floresville. Go Lake!
(photo by Daniel Clifton)
GO LAKE & Beat Floresville!
The Ranch found their Legacy at the bottom of THE LAKE after a 10-1 whitewash of these Wranglers.
Canyon Lake would score all the runs needed after starting this Bi-District contest scoring 5 first inning runs.. CL has scored 16 first inning runs since the Fredericksburg series and before that were in a drought of no runs during district play.
The Lake had 8 of 9 starters with a hit and the one player that was hitless, Cullen Barnhart who has the best average for CLHS went hitless but changed getting a hit to getting hit twice by Wrangler pitching while also drawing a walk.
Way to GET HITS Lake!
That first frame had another batter magnet when Gram Simpson was hit by a round ball. Simpson is the all-time leader standing with 23 joining Barnhart in this hit parade.
Double-Mint Ryan Rena was next up rapping a double to left field driving CL’s first two runs followed by a Hayes Holladay rbi single. This game was beginning to think, the Wrangler pitcher, did not like Hawks after a third hit batter, this time Archer Miller, loaded the bases.
Then two consecutive singles for Gavyn Baldera and Lucas Shexnayder drove in the last two runs for a 5 run advantage.
Way to Go Lake Baseball.
Holladay was on the mound and started a little rusty hitting his first batter (a theme for this contest). This baserunner was driven in by a double capping the only run for LR. That turned out to be the only damage these Ranchers could muster.
Lucas Shexnayder led the team with three hits with two doubles while Gavyn Baldera and Rena both tied with 3 rbis a piece.
Rena had two doubles and is now 5th place with 18 in this category.
1. Carter Williams 22
2. Griffen Williams 21
3. Travis Walker 19
3. Hunter Anderson 19
5. Ryan Rena 18
Simpson continues his climb on the all-time lists for stolen bases standing with 26 career steals trailing Daniel Camarillo 29 from back during the 2011-12 seasons.
Let’s GO LAKE!
Canyon Lake’s District 26-4A all won their Bi-District outing last week and Floresville and The Lake have played three common opponents this year and are pretty even with those outcomes.
La Vernia was the only school that was out of each school’s district and both beat the Bears.
Canyon Lake will play Floresville Tigers (20-6-1) this Thursday at the Tigers starting at 7:00 pm and Friday at the Hawk Nest at 7:00pm.
A Saturday game if needed will be back in Floresville with a 1:00 start time.
The Texas High School Association and Walmart recognized the Academic All-State Teams.
Greysen Patton 1st Team Hayes Holladay 2nd Team
Gavyn Baldera 2nd Team Dalton Hodges 2nd Team
Lucas Schexnayder 2nd Team Gram Simpson Honorable Mention

Game Article | Comments Off on The Ranch Find Legacy at Bottom of The Lake, 10-1
Cullen Barnhart throws another gem in Bi-District win over Legacy Ranch, 5-3.
Way to Go Hawks!
The Lake continued peaking at the right time scoring 5 runs and taking the lead after Legacy Ranch jumped out to a one run lead opening the game.
The Ranch made a statement to start this game with their first batter being hit by a pitch and then scored on a single by their clean-up hitter.
Luckily for the Hawk Nation this team had a penchant of bunching their arsenal during the bottom of the third inning that had 11 Hawk’s come to bat leading to this break out frame.
Break the Dam~ Lake!
Ranch was without a Legacy while The Lake had their only out coming from a sacrifice bunt (Archer Miller) for those first 9 players who sauntered to the plate. The damage would be 5 runs which was highlighted with a double for Bryce May along with 3 singles (Carson Walker~Cullen Barnhart~Ryan Rena), two walks (Lucas Schexnayder~Walker) and Joshua Little taking one for the team being hit by a pitch.
Game~Set~Match!
Way to Go Lake!
These Wranglers would make things interesting as they scored twice during their 6th frame with both runs coming from fielding errors.
Other than that, Cullen Barnhart won his 3rd game in these last 8 days with another dominant performance from the pitcher’s mound.
Barnhart has pitched 18 innings surrendering one earned run while striking out 16 during that stretch. His era (earned run average) is 0.39 with this victory helping The Lake reach 20 wins for the 5th time in the last 6 years.
The Lake has morphed into a decent outfit as this Legacy Ranch team is a much better version of a 25-4A Bi-District team.
Canyon Lake will work on eliminating these Wranglers on a rainy day that might not be realized at 7:00pm in Liberty Hill.
A third game (if needed) would be played at Lehman High School at 1:00pm on Saturday.
Meanwhile this improved version for CL will continue to work on not having The Ranch able to find nothing instead of a legacy.
Go Lake!

Eva Zabarcencu & Sophie Eastland on qualifying blocks! Good Luck & GO HAWKS!
Let’s GO FAST LAKE!
The Lake will be off to the races this week when girls go against Region IV schools for a chance of being in that final and ultimate prize ~ State Meet.
Track & Field is a sport where each competitor has two goals. Win an event and/0r achieve a personal best (PR).
With each meet during this time of the season athletes are working through a sieve that eventually only have two that reach that final round.
FLY FAST HAWKS!
The times and distances below will not have every athlete showing a mark.
The ReSporter only has events that involve a Hawks. The list reflects how our Lake’s time/distance squares up with other schools. This allows you to see what would need to be done to advance to State.
If athletes haven’t performed better than a Hawk Athlete then they will not have their showing~showing, unless their time or mark was close enough to make a difference.
Go Lake Beat Everyone!
Hence, that first salvo (qualifying) comes into play with that second part of achieving a PR in their event.
Region IV in Kingsville will begin this Thursday with finals for all the Field Events and 3200 Meter Run.
There were four athletes from Area Meet who made the cut for this Region Meet which will now have qualifying running events for Saturday and crowning those two athletes that make the State Meet.
Hawk Proud
The Lake Girls have eight events as follows:
THE LAKE LADIES will compete in two Relays, 100 & 200 meter dash, 3200 & 1600 meter runs, 100 & 300 Hurdles, Long Jump and Pole Vault.
4x100 Relay 47.13
Aubrey Avey, Te’a Gonzales
Shana Cutrer, Savanna Oberholtzer
Manor Tech 47.14
All other schools in this Region are in the 49 second area. CL’s time is an all time best as they topped last year’s 4×100 relay team that ran, 48.14 in the State Meet last year.
4x200 Relay 1:41.17
Aubrey Avey, Te’a Gonzales
Shana Cutrer, Savanna Oberholtzer
The Lake 1:40.76 District Meet
Calhoun 1:42.73
These Hawk ladies will attempt to break the 1:40.00 plateau and hopefully make a mark in Austin….Go Lake!
100 Meter Dash Savanna Oberholtzer 12.18
Manor Tech 11.72
El Campo 11.92
Oberholtzer 11.99 2025 Year
Two fast ladies in front of Oberholtzer but certainly in range of making State.
200 Meter Dash Te’a Gonzales 25.40
Manor Tech 24.48
El Campo 24.49
Calhoun 25.35
Gonzales is certainly in the zip code but will need to PR to have a chance for an Austin invite. The question? Can she continue to improve as the season comes into its zenith time.
1600 Meter Run Eva Zabarcencu 5:21.19
Sophie Eastland 5:29.69
Wimberley 5:11.95
Navarro 5:18.58
Zabarcencu (5:15.94) and Eastland (5:25.75) have run faster times than what they turned in at the Area Meet.
Certainly will have a chance for a berth going to Austin and seeing Eastland with another PR is certainly a possibility. This will be a fun race to watch.
3200 Meter Run Eva Zabarcencu 11:52.41
Sophie Eastland 12:08.41
Navarro 11:35.34
Wimberley 11:39.48
La Vernia 11:50.32
Another race that both Zabarcencu (11:37.79) & Eastland (11:53.29) ran faster earlier this season. So those earlier races would be enough to have a chance to Austin. Eastland being a Freshman could make her mark with several more years of reaching a Cadence Patterson all-time time. That might never happen as Patterson had an incredible race of, 10:45.53.
100 Meter Hurdles Shana Cutrer 14.99
Kingsville King 14.19
Rockport 14.48
This will take a herculean effort for Cutrer but this young lady has certainly continued to get faster and faster this season. Certainly in the realm of possibility.
Cutrer’s time is the only Hawk to break the 15 second barrier. Alyssa Strickland (15.06) could have but her final year was cut short by CHINA COVID which grounded all races which did not have to be. Just Sayn.
300 Meter Hurdles Aubrey Avey 45.50
Rockport 45.06
Avey ran a 43.03 last year and has been faster than her Area time above.
So this is certainly a possibility of going to Austin again for this Senior Hawk!
Long Jump Savanna Oberholtzer 16-10.00
Kingsville King 18-08.75
El Campo 18-06.50
Freeport 18-05.00
Calallen 18-01.75
Wimberley 17-09.00
La Vernia 17-08.50
Oberholtzer will need to reach back to last year when she set the Hawk All-Time mark of 18-05.00. If she can…then that would be a possibility for another Austin ticket.
Pole-Vault Katelyn Lowth 11-00
Pleasanton 11-09
Rockport 11-06
Lago Vista 11-06
Lowth reached her personal best at the Area Meet and could she reach another personal best this week? Time will tell.
What we do know with this event many things could prevent athletes to reach their best with so many variables going into this most fascinating event in Track & Field.
Let’s GO FAST & JUMP FAR-HIGH LAKE!

Time for Post Season! Let’s GO LAKE!
Keep it Going Hawks!!
Canyon Lake doused the Long Creek Dragons after another strong performance from Cullen Barnhart who pitched a 2 hitter in giving up one run while striking out five.
Barnhart was also instrumental in this win offensively as his double drove in two runs as The Lake plated 3 runs in that opening inning. Those runs would prove to be enough for this win.
There was rough waters starting the 4th frame when Long Creek had 6 of 7 batters able to reach base but could only garner one run.
Three Dragons reached base with two walks and a hit batter to start this roller-coaster. This ride had two players out at the plate….one on a suicide squeeze play and the other fielder’s choice.
Be Handy Hawks Baseball & Go Lake in Playoffs!
The Lake responded an inning later when Ryan Rena opened this inning with a single and then stole second base before another towering triple off the bat of Bryce May that scored Rena that got the Hawk’s lead back to three runs.
This was Bryce’s second triple this week with this hit against the wind.
Barnhart had right at 110 pitches when the last Dragon to bat swung at the first pitch for a pop-out that had the Hawks punching their dance card for another post-season chance to advance to State.
It was after that scary 4th frame that Barnhart doused these Dragons in facing 10 and getting 9 outs for those last 3 innings and an impressive outing on the mound.
The Lake will now play Legacy Ranch (17-10) for a 3 game series that starts at The Lake this Thursday at 7:00pm and then return the favor Friday at The Ranch starting at 7:00pm.
If a third game is needed then the location will be determined for a Saturday start.
Congrats and Way to GO LAKE!!

Hawk JV Green Pitcher Rowan Edwards had a No-No in win over Bandera.
Way to GO LAKE!
The Canyon Lake JV Green Baseball team finished their season capping off a huge win at Bandera, 9-2 with some timely hitting and a gem of a pitching performance.
This JV Green team finished their season completing a, 16-9-1 record and finished tied for 2nd place in district play.
Rowan Edwards threw a complete game no hitter against the Bulldogs while striking out 6 and only giving up 2 walks in this victory.
Edwards started this contest with a strike out and then after giving up a walk was redeemed when First Baseman Hudson Hastings started a 3-1-4 double play while Edwards ended each inning with a strikeout.
Josh Little was all business in Hawk’s JV Green win!
It not for a couple of errors in that final frame these Bulldogs would have gone home having Jowls without teeth.
The Hawks were led offensively by Josh Little, Brandon Rilee and Payton Vann who went a combined 6 at bats~6 runs~5 hits~& 5 RBI’s.
Coach Self was selfless in his assessment of this year, “I am extremely proud of these guys this season. They improved every week and competed for a district championship. These guys were a great group to coach and Coach Wilson and I are proud of them and our season!”

Game Article | Comments Off on Lake JV Green No-Hit Bandera JV, Finished Season, 16-9-1
Jacob Little was huge helping The Lake have chance making post-season. Go Lake!
GO LAKE Baseball
The Lake garners a play-in game with their 13-5 win over Bandera thanks to a not so Little Jacob pitching 6 innings in giving up one run while striking out 7 Bulldogs.
Yes, Jacob Little was helped by a flood of runs the top of the 6th frame as The Lake batted around while scoring 9 runs and now a date this Saturday at 2:30pm in New Braunfels’ High School against Long Creek.
The winner will have their dance card for more games in the post-season.
Let’s GO LAKE!
This Bandera contest was testy after, The Lake, took a 3 run lead to start this game but these Bulldogs answered with 2 runs and then added another 3 runs in that second inning which had Head Coach Victory Escamilla changing pitchers and inserting a Freshman who started his first ever varsity action.
Head Coach Victor Escamilla had this to say about Jacob Little’s pitching, “I’ve seen him enough in the sub-varsity where I had seen him with four (types of) pitches and he throws them for strikes. He’s like a coach on the field…and I told one of my coaches in the dugout, ‘When that kid graduates then I want him as one of my assistants.’ He’s always coaching and he wants to learn the game.”
Break the Dam~ Lake!
Coach Escamilla wasn’t finished, “He can slow down the game by shutting down the run game because he can hold them to a one way lead because, there is a lefty throwing.”
Jacob Little took the BIG Stage on the mound and after giving up a run on a sacrifice fly then those jitters would be gone until that final out in the seventh frame.
Mr. Little, after his first entrance to the mound would settle in by giving up a walk (3rd inning), single (4th inning)…without any damage and then followed with a 3-up & 3-down in the 5th and 6th frame accumulating 4 strikeouts during those two innings.
Meanwhile the Lake was down 2 runs and was able to answer with one score in the third when Ryan Rena doubled and scored on a Bryce May single. These two players combined for 6 hits and 6 rbi’s in this win.
It was in that 6th inning that had Bandera’s pitcher running out of pitches and then CL took care of the Bulldogs bullpen. Canyon Lake had 13 Hawks coming to the plate which was highlighted with a towering triple off the bat for May-Day knocking in two of those runs.
The Lake had 4 consecutive hits after Gavyn Baldera was robbed after being called safe beating out an infield hit…. but an umpire conference ruled that play an out.
It would be Archer Miller legging out another infield hit as speed kills and that was CL’s main helping hand for this game. The Lake coasted while not allowing any more runs and another Hawk must win battle.
Now another contest on Saturday at 2:30pm at New Braunfels High School in realizing hopefully another play-off year!
Way to Go Lake!
