Go Lake & Congrats on Special Season!
Head Coach Daniella Villarreal: I am extremely proud of all of our athletes and happy to see them receive the recognition they deserve.
Chloe Gray earning Outstanding Setter of the district is a huge accomplishment and reflects her impact on our team’s success. She was the heart of our offense, a steady leader, and one of the hardest-working athletes in our program. We could not have achieved what we did without her. Her presence will be greatly missed.
Kylie Rodriguez was also an integral part of our success, especially in serve receive and defense. She helped us stay in system offensively, kept rallies alive, brought consistency to our back row, and will be deeply missed.
Gabby Fory has grown tremendously each season and continued to rise to every challenge. She was a crucial part of our offense and brought both physical strength and a strong vocal presence to our team.
Preslie Owens and Izzy Fory stepped into bigger roles this season and made a significant impact. Preslie was a powerful offensive force, while Izzy was a defensive anchor who kept the floor clean and extended rallies. Both will be seniors next year, and we are excited to have them return.
Way to GO HAWKS!
Mackenzie Dorn’s leadership will be missed. She was a utility player for us, always willing to do whatever the team needed and making everyone around her better.
Te’a Gonzales and Kylee Goff stepped into starting roles this year and brought consistency, strong blocking, and were options for us offensively. Both will return as juniors next season.
I’m proud of all these girls and everything they accomplished this season, both on the court and in the classroom. The future is bright and we will continue to put in the work and challenge ourselves with even bigger goals!
Way to Go Lake Ladies!

Let’s Go Lake Great Win Over The Pass
Canyon Lake came back from a 20 point deficit in scoring 51 second half points for a 2 point win over Aransas Pass, 71-70.
It was an offensive rebound put-back for Anthony Hockman with three seconds left that sealed the deal.
The Lake did start this contest storming to a, 13-6 first quarter advantage.
The Aransas Pass would take over with a 24 point 2nd quarter and outscored The Lake, 17 points that produced a 12 point advantage to end that first half.
“We made a lot of mistakes early versus AP (Aransas Pass).” Head Coach Monte Cole recapped. “Unforced turnovers, missed layups, mission open guys with our passing…but the kids were resilient and kept battling to give themselves a chance and then guys made plays at the end to win.”
Let’s Go Hawks Great Comeback!
Canyon Lake will go into Saturday game against Gainesville who has a 5-1 record, “This is a great tournament for us because we’re identifying the little things we have to do a lot better and execute more consistently”….on playing Gainesville, “They’re big and good. A good test for us.”
AP increased their halftime advantage into a 20 point (51-31) lead with just 1:43 remaining in that 3rd stanza, but this Hawk team would turn on a firehose scoring 40 points in a 9:43 time frame.
CL had 4 players reach double digit scoring with Cole Dees (14 pts) leading and being joined with Phoenix Fuentes (13), Josh Rowe (12), and Gavin Cano (10).
Way to GO LAKE!
CL got contributions from a bench that pitched in 26 points in this improbable comeback.
That last quarter was a classic being down, 51-41 to start and Fuentes with a steal (20 steals forced by CL’s defense) cut AP’s lead to single digits, 51-43 to start this avalanche of scoring.
It was a back and force game and The Lake had trouble cutting that lead below 7 points after a Dees three pointer with 6:42 left, 53-46.
The Pass pushed their advantage back to 10 points with under 6 minutes, 60-50.
In fact, CLHS cut the lead to 7 again with an old fashion 3 pointer for Fuentes before quick 4 points giving the Home Team an 11 point lead, 64-53 with 3:24 remaining. From there CL scored 18 points while giving up 7 points for AP.
CLake would score the next 7 points and finish this game with a nail biter victory.
Remaining
A) Cano 3 pointer off a Hockman assist, 56-64 3:12
B) Fuentes with another old fashion 3 pointer, 59-64 2:15
C) Rowe basket after a Hawk steal, 61-64 2:02
D) Rowe after a Pass miss, 63-64 1:53
E) Aransas free throw, 63-65 1:35
F) Aransas free throw, 63-66 1:19
G) Aransas bucket, 63-68 0:58
H) Dees two FT’s on rebound of Pass miss FT, 65-68 0:57
I) Dees bucket on a Rowe assist, 67-68 0:29
J) Rowe score and Cano assist, 69-68 0:14
1st lead since 7:06 First Quarter
K) Aransas made 2 FT’s, 69-70 0:09
L) Hockman offensive Reb put back off glass, 71-70 0:03
Way to Go Hawk Basketball.
As Easy as ABC for a Hawk Team that ran their record to 7-1 with this win.
Cano came up with a huge dishing up a good plate of grub with 6 assists and was nails after Fuentes had to sit with foul trouble earlier in this quarter.
Scoring more points in the last stanza than CL did combined in those first two quarters was a good recipe for this improbable comeback.

Let’s Go Lake!
Canyon Lake’s Boys Basketball has started their season with a blistering pace with a 3-1 start a loss to New Braunfels Unicorns last Wednesday.
In the Lake’s first three games, the Hawks outscored their opponents by 119 points with a very impressive 61% assist to field goals made during this 4 game start.
Nine of CL’s 11 players have 20 or more points led by Senior point guard Phoenix Fuentes.
“I thought our game with New Braunfels that we did some good things but against good teams like NB, we can’t lose focus as much as we did,” Head Coach Monte Cole assessed. “Good teams will make us pay for it. It was a great game for us to see what areas we need to improve moving forward.”
On Coach Coles thoughts on what he has seen thus far? “I like our team, we have a lot depth and good chemistry. We just have to keep improving everyday and every game. Looking forward to seeing where this team is when we get to January and February.
Plug those Leaks Lake!
The Hawks are averaging a little over 16 assists and 14 steals per outing and at this writing having a 65 points per game clip.
There are a lot of changeable players which gives CL’s Coaching staff many options based on in game situations.
Fuentes did turn in an impressive 14 points in that loss to the Unicorns as that team had lots of length which led to very few offensive rebounds and passing lanes not as open as in those previous three wins.
Canyon Lake will be back in action this coming week with a home game against Ingram-Moore on Tuesday (5:00pm Sub-Varsity & 6:30p Varsity tip-off).
The Lake will then be off to Aransas Pass on Thursday playing in their first tournament.

What If Canyon Lake would not have had any Bug-a-boos? That was said by many Hawk fans (maybe not a lot but at least one or two) after a, 42-14 loss to Calallen in an Area Round battle.
Turnovers was the bug-a-boo that led to this set-back with 4 that would turn this game in favor and giving these Cats extra lives leading to a win for Calallen.
Canyon Lake started slow when the Cats only needed a 32 yard drive, for their first score, after a good kick-off runback.
Then those bug-a-boos started to appear with one on a 3rd down pass play that CL’s defense swarmed all over…yet to have a face-mask penalty that now had these Cal-Cats with a 1st down on CL’s 12 yard line. Instead of a 4th down needing 9 yards for a first. Four plays later the Lake was down, 7-0.
CLake’s first drive garnered one first down and then punted on a 4th down and two yards needed. That was followed when Cal-Cats offense with a 3 plays and punt sequence.
The Lake would take their next possession down to Calallen’s 31 yard line when that first turnover, an interception, was returned 71 yards to pay dirt. This Hawk drive had 7 plays and 3 first downs.
The dye had been cast as this first quarter had CL’s offense starting to jell while Defensively the Lake would end up allowing just 238 total yards for this game.
CL’s Offense ended up with 419 balanced yards as that first drive would be the only punt in this contest. CLHS ended with 223 rushing and 196 yards through the air.
After another interception Calallen did have an impressive drive going 16 plays with 12 of those snaps 5 yards or less. But an eventual time eating scoring drive that went 57 yards and a, 21-0 lead leaving 2:14 left before halftime.
A score would get CL back into the game by receiving the 2nd half kick-off and with a score a hawk/cat fight would ensue.
Well that first part played out when CL used 10 plays with a tush-push score for Chris Brown and a little Hawk momentum being down, 21-7.
That drive was highlighted by two consecutive pass plays. The first had QB Jace Wheeler finding Lucas Schexnayder for a 20 yard 3rd down conversion on Calallen’s 29 yard line. Schexnayder led CL with 75 receiving yards with several eye-opening catch and runs.
Wheeler then put the ball in the basket down the far sideline to Peyton King for 26 yards to the 3 yard line setting up those 3 consecutive tush-push plays.
Now a second half opening drive was going as planned with two more Schexnayder catches covering 34 yards and a 16 yard and a scamper for Gram Simpson that had CL needing 25 yards to put this contest in overdrive.
But that bug-a-boo interception presented itself, this time, the Cats returned this bug 81 yards and what would be a 14 point snafu swing and a, 28-7 score.
Wait…then the last bug-a-boo happened but this time it was a first play 53 yard run for Brown who was stripped tackled resulting in a fumble.
Calallen took advantage of these bug-a-boos which accounted to scoring 4 TD’s.
Canyon Lake scored two more times but was only allowed to count one of those scores after a motion penalty nullified an incredible one handed catch for King being called back.
King, earlier scored on a 9 yarder late in that 3rd quarter.
Canyon Lake’s line of scrimmage was on top of their game on both sides of the ball with all the proof needed would be perusing those team stats at the end of this article.
Between the 20 yard lines it would be all Canyon Lake but with all those bug-a-boos it would be a wait till next year mantra as this season certainly had some good ole fashion football by The Lake and this Great Senior Class.
Way to Go Lake and next time CL can work on projecting those Bug-a-Boos on their opponents.
The ReSporter will have some Year-End rewards and season stats articles so stay tuned.

Let’s Go Lake Beat Calallen!
Canyon Lake’s Area Bout and Basketball starting out of the gate strong as Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
First will be CL’s battle with Calallen this week at SW Legacy Stadium in San Antonio with kick-off at 7:00pm. The location is: 4495 Verano Pkwy #100 in Von Ormy, Texas 78073.
This is the second playoff game with these wildcats after suffering a heart break, 37-31 loss in 2020. That Covid year was a crazy time that had The Lake literally all over the field with wins and losses.
An overtime loss, 41-40 to Blanco and then seeing state finalist LBJ escape with a, 20-14 thriller and as a 4th seed beating La Vernia, 48-27 in a buzz saw game that led to a Calallen team that had won their district.
Let’s Go Hawks & Beat Calallen!
This year, the Hawks have had some up and downs but not to that 2020 team’s extent sporing a 8-3 record and with a more wide open offense.
These Wildcats have doubled their rushing this season compared to passing yardage. They have 39 touchdowns rushing and 14 through the air.
Passing might not be used as much but this team does use that part of their game to the fullest with two players as their main go-to players.
Gamez (34) and Rusher (33) receptions with the rest of this squad with a total of 11 receptions.
While there is a three headed monster on the run game. The QB Connor Klostermann has 572 yards and running backs Rodriguez (729) and Tipton (728) will give The Lake plenty of work on their defensive side of the ball.
Canyon Lake will need to keep their penalties down as they did last week in that Bi-District win and can get a run game which can open up the passing game to keep the Wildcats guessing.
Some Interesting Tid-Bits by the Numbers.
4 Is number CL has reached 8 wins in a season. (10 in 2017)
5 Receivers amassed more than 100 yards
7 Passing TD’s for QB Wheeler in playoffs #1 (Ben Fulton 4 TD’s)
9 More Turnovers CL has caused. Ranks 2nd behind 13 by 2014 Season.
40 More First Downs that Opponents

===========================================
Hawks Start Season Strong in 76-32 Win Over Luling
Canyon Lake’s Boys Basketball started their season last Tuesday with a, 76-32 win over Luling in a game the Hawks led throughout.
This was a no-doubter with CL ballooning the lead to 39-10 in the 2nd quarter.
The Lake was led in scoring by newcomer Cole Dees with 14 points and was followed by Bobby Torres (13) and Wyatt Sims (10) points.
All but one Hawk had a rebound and steal giving an idea of how deep this team could be this season.
Of course, there are still items Head Coach Monte Cole after his moan when free throws were brought up in the conversation. The Lake shot better from beyond the arc compared to their 29% charity stripe performance.
Canyon Lake will open at The Hawk Nest this Saturday against Sinton with a tip-off at 11am for sub-varsity and then a noon start for the Varsity.
Way to Go Lake!

Go Lake Beat Calallen!
First, a shout out to our Volleyball Squad who’s first priority this season was to make the playoffs which was accomplished in spades. CL Volleyball went 4 rounds into the post-season losing in a Regional Final which is one step from securing a Final 4 berth.
Congratulations and you can read about this season and what might be in store in The ReSporter’s Volleyball article on this site.
Curtain call for Football next with an Area Round battle this Friday at SW Legacy Stadium with kick-off 700pm. Calallen will be the next foe after disposing of Taylor in the Bi-District game last week.
Canyon Lake will be working on a chance of copying what Volleyball has just finished doing by going further than the 2nd round. The Lake has made it past this next round once back in 2017 for a team that won district and reached the next round.
The ReSporter will have an article for this week’s game while also showcasing records that have been attained this season and what might be in store.
You Make us Proud Hawks now Beat Calallen!
Girls Basketball finished this week with two losses as this year will certainly have a learning environment for a young team taking instructions from a new locally known coach Char Hutson.
This week will feature a home game with YMLA starting at 500pm with CLJV before the tip-off Varsity following. Then a slew of contests in a 3 day tourney at San Antonio Cornerstone.
Boys Basketball starts their campaign this week on the road in Luling with sub-varsity tipping off at 500pm and then a late 800pm start for the Varsity.
The Boys will finish their week playing Sinton on Saturday with a noon start at the Hawk Nest.
Head Basketball Coach Monte Cole stated, “Starting the season on the road is never easy but kids are excited to get going and ready to play someone other than ourselves every day. I expect us to look pretty good defensively. Luling played zone last year so we’ll get an early look at our zone offense. Sinton is always good so that should be a good game at home Saturday. One thing we have this year is a lot of depth with all 11 guys (Eli Hammons will be 12 later in the year) playing and contributing.” (but that should be more weeks after The Lake beat Calallen)
Let’s Go Lake & Beat Calallen!

Go Hawks & Congrats of Special Season!
The ReSporter: Canyon Lake’s Unforgettable Season climbed some steep hills through this year share with Hawk Nation your road to success.
Coach Villarreal: “This season’s success was built day by day, from the offseason through every practice and match. Our tough district prepared the girls to face any opponent and compete at a high level, which gave them confidence going into playoffs. They learned from setbacks, believed in themselves and each other, and trusted their training. From the start, they embraced their roles, competed with heart, and showed tremendous growth. As coaches, we can provide the tools and guidance, but it’s up to the players to apply it. This group truly bought in and improved quickly because of how coachable they were.”
The ReSporter: Seniors always will rise to the occasion as leaders…give us your thoughts on this group of young ladies.
Coach Villarreal: “The seniors were the backbone of the program. Their leadership, work ethic, and commitment elevated everyone around them. They chose the team motto, “Nothing worth having comes easy,” and lived it through the hard work, sacrifices, and mental toughness required this season. Each senior played a key role on and off the court and left a lasting legacy that will inspire future teams. I am so grateful to have coached Kylie, Chloe, Mackenzie, Sabrina, and KC. And they will be greatly missed!”
Way to make your hits into a Regional Final Lake!
The ReSporter: After a short few days of rest and thinking back, as a coach, that next season always comes calling. Give the Hawk Nation on what goals and what next year might bring to the table.
Coach Villarreal: “We return a talented, motivated group of girls. I hope this season has created momentum and inspired returning and younger athletes, as well as future generations, to believe in continued success. Our goals remain the same, top competitor in district and deep playoff runs, but we will focus on building on this season’s accomplishments, working hard, never being satisfied, and dreaming bigger.”
The ReSporter: You had some high water marks with individual goals that were achieved this season. How have you balanced those milestones while keeping the team focused on getting the job done week-end and week-out.
Congrats on a Great Season Lake!
Coach Villarreal: “It’s all about team chemistry and understanding what is best for the group. Every player has a role and great value.

Plug those Leaks Lake in Your Area Battle!
Ducks are no match for a Hawk which has the ability matched by a Peregrine Falcon who can use their agility to attack and inflict injuries in regards to a duck.
For this Bi-District conquest these Ducks never made it to The Lake in time for safety after a blistering wipe-out in this Bi-District game, 63-19.
This win was so thorough these Ducks became daffy.
Even tho there was a wake-up moment to start this contest when Taylor took their second play to the house on a 74 pass play that had CLake looking at a 6 point deficit 37 seconds into this battle.
That, however, would be one of a few highlights these ducks would be able to enjoy when these Hawks devoured Taylor by scoring on all of their possessions up until the last drive that came up short which had Punter Jace Wheeler getting off a 41 yarder. Wheeler averages 41 yards on his 30 punts this season.
Beat Calallen in Area Hawks!
While Defensively it was two interceptions (Cash Ziemba & Walker Carson) and a fumble recovery, while holding Taylor with no points and 159 yards in their second half after these Ducks had accumulated 300 first half yardage. Add a run defense that was a Trump Border Wall holding this opponent to 156 yards leaving this vulnerable Ducks to flying led by Eli (double digit tackles) Hammons and a host of other Defensive Hawks to help lead this carnage.
Hammons finished with 14 tackles 3 for loss with 5 pass break ups for a good day on the football field.
Chris Brown first rush went for 41 untouched yards forged by an offensive line that controlled this contest from the opening play. A flag football game would have been the same result.
Brown joined Tanner Faris, Tristan Chacon and Hayden Dubois who reached 4 touchdowns in a game and fell short of Jesse Horner (5) and Carter Williams (6) who reached that all-time mark in a Veterans Memorial game last year.
Way to GO LAKE!
Canyon Lake averaged over 7 yards per rushing attempt while CLake’s passing was just a smidgen off perfection completing 13 of the 15 passes for 220 yards.
Wheeler also showcased his feet after an 11 yarder for The Lake’s first score and finished with 31 hard ground yardage.
During that first half drives, The Lake longest scoring drive was 6 plays which was highlighted after Taylor scored that had these Ducks trailing, 21-12 early in that second period.
CL would take 5 plays using a 27 yard reception for Peyton King followed with a 13 yard pass play to Kobe Halverson that led to a 2 yard up the middle score for Brown, 28-12.
Ending that first half, Canyon Lake had an explosive drive to answer Taylor’s final score of the game with 1:33 left on the halftime clock.
Starting on CL’s 28 yard line the dismantling went thusly:
Play:
1) Hayes Holladay 14 yard run.
2) Chris Brown 19 yard run.
3) Hayes Holladay 14 yard reception.
4) Chris Brown 24 yard run.
5) Chris Brown 1 yard touchdown.
The Hawks went to their locker room sporting a, 42-19 lead and receiving the second half kick-off.
This 2nd Half opened with a ground out time consuming drive that featured a 13 play 72 yards and stick a fork in’em, 49-19 advantage.
Canyon Lake matched last year’s Bi-District game with Austin Travis with the same exact score.
Don’t Forget to Get Your Hawk Gear @ Authentic Canyon Lake’s Hawk Nation Room & The ReSporter will have upcoming Area Round information this weekend so stay tuned and Let’s GO LAKE!

Savanna Oberholtzer signs Soccer Scholarship with SFA flanked by her Dad (Mark) & Mom (Sherry).
Savanna Oberholtzer picked SFA as her next stop for her Soccer and school studies.
Savanna had already been spoken for after Lubbock Christian offered a place on their team but things got turned around recently after Coach Ben Morrison was recently hired as a SFA Coach which was a deal maker for the Lumberjacks.
“I knew the coaches and when they reached out I went there and loved everything it was nice and I will look forward to continue working on my game and keep playing there.”
On what Savanna plans to do in class? “Nursing,” said like a player dribbling down the field with an open net.
Savanna has been a trail blazer for The Lake Soccer team after becoming the all-time scorer last season passing Maddie (her sister) Oberholtzer last season.
Head Coach Kara Stracener shared her thoughts, “She is not one dimensional…in my 25 years of coaching she is in my top 3 athletes and all of those players played on a Division I College.” Coach Stracener continued, “She is important and great for our team and has raised our other players. Running track and being on the cheer team makes her a more rounded athlete when combined. As well as getting to 108 goals and 27 assists in her years at Canyon Lake.
Mark (Dad) Oberholzer shared his thoughts on this momentous day, “I’m so proud of her….she has worked her whole life for this. People see the end product when she competes but it is her whole work ethics seeing her working hard and wanting to be the best.”
“She is very competitive and playing soccer allows her to get physical on the field and when she is knocked down she gets right back up and ready to be in charge,” Sherry (Mom) Oberholtzer quipped. “She has always been in charge!”
Way to Go Savanna!
Savanna came to high school and took her soccer-track-cheer teams to new heights competing at the State Level whether it’s field events or running relays and 100-200 meter dash.
With her uncanny way of throwing a soccer ball with her somersault acrobatics to breaking the 12 second (11.99) 100 meter a full half second faster than CL’s #2 Alysha Perez 12.46 back in 2017. Savanna has the best long jump 18-02.75 and is presently in 3rd place for the triple jump (36-02.50) and as a team player she has been on The Lake’s All-Time Best for the 4×100 & 4×200 relay teams. Both of those relays are 2 seconds better than those 2nd place relay teams.
Canyon Lake will certainly be in the running in all of these sports above this year and chance to catch this Lumberjack taking down some trees on her way to higher lofty goals.
Way to Go Savanna & Go Lake ~ Go Lumberjacks!
