Go Hawks and Fly High!!
The Lady Hawks will have a tough climb to reach the playoff podium after a hard fought loss to Bandera last Friday night, 50-39.
The ReSporter has commented on how tough District 28-4A is and Bandera took care of a Hondo Owl team in their first district game that made a statement that the Bulldogs would not be an easy foe on your schedule either.

CL Hawks JV win 10th game in a row over Bandera as the Lake’s Defense took center stage in grinding out this win, 33-26.
“We did not hit our shots,” Head JV Coach Hooper said. “We grinded out a win and sometimes it is not pretty but we will take it.”
Spoken like a Dad of the 7 ugly ducklings while trying to put make-up on those Hawks.
Rory Preiss has 8th straight game with double digit scoring
Canyon Lake beat Bandera and now enjoys a 2-1 District 28-4A record as they wait for a State Ranked Boerne team on next Friday.
The Hawks did not look sharp in this win but there were times not to long ago that CL’s basketball team would have taken any type of victory in district play.
“We played with great effort and energy,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “Our defense was ok but we had too many turnovers and too many missed shots.”
But a win is a win and that will have to suffice even when the team is not playing at their peak level.
With these two district wins, Canyon Lake has already tied or beaten 5 other Hawk years in Basketball lore for victories in district play.
This conquest tied last year’s total and the next win, Canyon Lake, will be tied with the all-time best win total in Hawk history at 14. The 2008-09 Hawk team stood with that total in the Hawks 2nd year of play.
Basketball Coach Lucas Chapman
The ReSporter: How do you find that magic potion in getting consistency from your players?
Coach Chapman: “We just have to continue to talk about it and emphasize it. It’s about trying to do all the little things each and everyday. Those little things make the big things happen. If you don’t do a good job of taking care of the little things, then the wins and successes don’t come. We just have to stay with the process.”
The ReSporter: This group of Seniors will have a chance of being the first to have a chance to make the playoffs, what has separated this group from the past teams?
Head Girl’s Basketball Coach Zach Burleson
The ReSporter: First off, Coach…has this district panned out as expected in how strong the teams are?
Coach Burleson: “Yeah, we knew going in it would be tough. Not only are there no nights off, there are no quarters off. Meaning, 1 bad quarter will cost you the game. That’s what we are up against.”
The ReSporter: What can you take away from the loss to Fredericksburg on Tuesday based on your earlier loss and how this game finished?
Coach Burleson: “It was our best effort in a month. Win or lose, I am very proud of our effort. I felt our 1st half was great meaning that our intensity level was where it’s needs to be. We gave ourselves a chance, just were not able to score enough tonight. But, if we can match that intensity that we displayed, it will give us opportunities to knock somebody off.”

Canyon Lake fell flat in loss to Fredericksburg, 56-34, as the Hawks will go back to work this Friday when Bandera comes to town.
Alternative Pest Control says Go Hawks
Fredericksburg beat Bandera, 73-22 giving the Hawks a bragging point in that they scored 12 points more than the Bulldogs.
Not what most teams need to be contemplating but CL had a chance to have a win that they could point to in giving them some stature. That game will have to wait a while longer.
Rory Preiss was the only Hawk to get into double digit scoring with 11 points and leading the team accounting for 8 rebounds.
Preiss has averaged 14 points in his past 7 games where he has reached double digit points consecutively.
Not much else to see hear as Canyon Lake will need to forget this game quickly as a 34 point game will not instill much confidence in this offense.
This week’s Friday game will be broadcast on the CLB network and you can get linked up on this site if you are wanting to hear or see how Canyon Lake will respond after this loss.
Go Hawks!!

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach Zach Burleson looking for answers in district play
The Canyon Lake Lady Basketball team is showing improvement within one of the toughest districts in Texas this year.
The Hawks lost to the Billies by 14 points and showed some spark after a blow out loss during the Burnet Tournament during the Christmas break. In that contest, CL was on the short end losing, 61-23.
Canyon Lake cannot afford a lost quarter during these games as the 3 points scored in the 3rd quarter contributed to this loss.
Both Fredericksburg games still had the Billies controlling the boards as the Hawks had just 15 total rebounds which was about what CL had in that first game only 12 bounds were realized.
Reagan Heun finished with 18 points as CL will now prepare for another tough opponent this Friday when they travel to Bandera.
Carley Dubois will be the spark-plug for CL’s offense
The ReSporter will start highlighting teams, as the Spring Sports start to hatch. We start with our Hawk Softball team and what this group of ladies might have in store for us this upcoming season.
CL’s schedule has had a major change as they have switched back to the San Marcos tournament after going to Blanco & Johnson City these past two campaigns.
Last year, Canyon Lake’s softball team was red-hot approaching their district games, and then with three straight games, of one run losses, the Hawks could never dig out of that cavernous hole.
The Blanco/Johnson City Tournaments did not have a lot of bigger schools which gave a false sense of accomplishment as they entered their district schedule.
When the Hawks raise this season’s curtain, they will start this year without Alexis Robinson being on their roster, as she was on every manager’s line-up card since her freshman year.
The Hawks have had this situation before after Missy Romero graduated and left Canyon Lake after their only playoff season.

Canyon Lake has had a 3rd quarter just like the one the Hawks administered to Hondo on Friday after beating the Owls, 56-41 for their first district win.
On Tuesday of this week, Canyon Lake came out of their halftime locker room down just two points against Wimberley, 25-23 and then proceeded to hand over the keys to their car to the Texans after suffering a 17 point downfall and eventual loss during that 3rd quarter game.
This time, Canyon Lake found that they could administer that same type of pain to Hondo by outscoring the Owls 18 points and turning a 3 point deficit to a 15 point advantage to open the second half.
