The Canyon Lake Hawks play dodge ball in loss to Hondo, 4-3 last Friday night.
Two things, the Hawks were beaned 5 times and in the field CL committed 5 errors.
The errors won this battle as Canyon Lake could not muster enough runs to tip the scale into their favor.
With 4 walks and 5 hit batsman, the Hawks, just did not have that one more hit to help in one of their best played games to date.

CL Hawks Bats finally came out of the cave in the 5th inning for a win over the Hondo Owls, 13-6.
Canyon Lake has started district with two games where those bats have been waiting for the sun to rise before they exit their cave and on this night the Hawks still had enough time to catch some mosquitoes as they responded with 12 runs in their last three stanzas.
An Owl was having a feast with a 4-1 lead going into the 5th inning but having insects for dinner did not sit well as those Hawk Bats came alive to swallow up all of the mosquitoes for an eventual eat-a-way win. (A Bat cam eat up to 1000 mosquitoes in one hour.)

Alysha Perez sets new mark in 100 meter dash at Texan Relays
Canyon Lake went dancing at the Texan Relays in Wimberley last Thursday as all the teams performed well with some key athletes missing due to Dancing Competition that was scheduled that same day.
“I was proud of our efforts again on Thursday,” Head Girls Track Coach John Barthels stated. “We had a decent effort in basically two day practice, post spring break week and I was impressed with several of the results going into the wind.”
That wind was consistent throughout the meet and it showed no relief for those events that would have those runners heading south.
Skylar Hurst was high point once again with 26 points followed by Alysha Perez’s 19 points after shattering the 100 meter dash record by two tenths of a second. These same two students had first place finishes along with the 4×100 relay team.
“Obviously our 100 and 100 hurdle times improved with the wind at our backs,” Coach Barthels continued. “The form looked good from Alysha (Perez) in the 100 and she won so that was great.”

The CL Hawk’s errors matched the Boerne Greyhounds runs in an opening District 28-4A loss at the Hawk Nest on Tuesday night, 6-3.
Canyon Lake’s bats were also quiet for the first 6 innings as the only Hawk inning that had pressure on Boerne happened in the 4th inning when Marley Carrizales led off the inning with the first hit and two stolen bases had this CL runner on third base.
A strikeout ended that threat and then the Hawks 10 consecutive outs until a one out single in the bottom of the 7th frame.

Ranger Cleaners says Go Hawks!!
Canyon Lake could only scratch off one run in their second run-ruled game game with the Boerne Greyhounds, 10-1.
There were two outs when Avery Montgomery reached base base on the Greyhound’s short-stop error.
JT Greene followed with a walk which advanced Montgomery with two on and two outs.
Enter Caleb Williams with a line drive single to left field to score Montgomery but that would be the extent of the damage on this night.

Repeat-Boutique Says Go Hawks and Repeat Winning
Canyon Lake will have their indoctrination into district competition this Tuesday when the Hawks will do battle with the Boerne Greyhounds.
CL will be the last district school to get in on the fray of competing as the Greyhounds will enter with a win over Bandera last week.
If the regular season records pan out then this will be a big game as both schools had the only winning record going into District 28-4A play.
Some games that should instill some angst for the Hawks came with a loss for Boerne but that school was Wimberley by one run (1-2) score.
Meanwhile, Canyon Lake has struggled in their two games with the Texans and a one run loss that the
Greyhounds had can tell you that this game will be a battle.

Go Hawks & Beat Boerne
Canyon Lake did have a short scrimmage with Fredericksburg in the San Marcos Rattler Tournament two weeks ago but that game was only in the 3rd inning when rain shortened the contest.
The Hawks had a one run lead when the curtain dropped and that will be another game CL will have to be on their ‘A’ game when they match up with the Billies.
Canyon Lake has some good wins thus far but looking back on the pre-district games versus district games will let you know that the Hawks will not look or play like they did when the games did not have district implications.
The ReSporter sees many younger players with a ton of talent and how they play when the lights get brighter will be a big eye opener on how these next 8 games will pan out.
Tuesday will be a time of reckoning and with Coach John Gallagher being very intentional in having a tougher schedule, will hopefully pay dividends.

Canyon Lake’s Softball Team had a chance to play a game against the Lady Hawk’s from days gone by as the the Alumni game was enjoyed by all on a Saturday with food and honoring two former students.
This was a Saturday game that allowed the Softball and Canyon Lake High School a chance to pay respects for two recent events.
The loss of Heather St. John to cancer last August 15, 2016 and Megan Browning who lost her life in a car accident this past January 15, 2017.
Both of these young ladies had played Softball as well as other sports during their time at Canyon Lake.
Megan Browning and Heather St. John were both teammates during Canyon Lake’s playoff run in 2011 and many of these alumnus ladies knew and played with Browning and St. John while in high school.

Hawks start District 28-4A with Loss to Boerne. (mjrphotog.com)
The CL Hawks started their district playing a perennial powerhouse in Boerne and the Greyhounds played like one on Friday night as they got on their Greyhound for home after winning, 11-0.
Canyon Lake were put in molasses early as the Greyhounds were off and running in the first inning and never stopped with their two home-runs that ended up being enough to close up shop for another day.
“We are going to stay with our process and eventually it will get here,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant stated. “We will work on our fundamentals until we are blue in our face.”

Grayson Rohrbacher closes in on a Billie. (mjrphotog.com)
Canyon Lake Boys Soccer ended their regular season much like they started after a blowout loss to Fredericksburg, 6-1 last Friday.
The Hawks had a total of two games that was lost by more than 2 goals and it was the opening and closing nights for their regular season production.
Canyon Lake was not shut-out for this season as the Billies were on a 3 game shut-out streak that was stopped at the 31:38 mark when Grayson Rohrbacher scored the first goal in the contest.
Unfortunately for CL the offense would be a no-show for the rest of this battle and now the Hawks will try to repeat what they did last time they had a loss by more than 1 goal.
