The Hilltop news sat down with founder and head cook “Martelli” of the beloved mud bugs and got a candid interview on this annual CL fundraiser.

Crawfish Boil is coming this Saturday May 7th
The ReSporter: So when did this all get started and why:
Martelli: “Since there was not a lot of people around the CL area who love bugs, a group of parents got together for the love of the bugs and invited others over to enjoy fellowship and talk about our new high school and little league sports while the kids all played around. The first year was the spring of 2008. It all started off pretty simple; we wanted to eat crawfish and no one around here even sold them, so necessity is the mother of all inventions, so we rolled forward.”
The ReSporter: Since that initial event, when did this event evolve into what it is today?
Martelli: “Well the first few years it was just a bunch of friends getting together to generate friendship spirit, a get together for everyone, something these parts are not known for especially back in those days. As word got out each year it grew and one day we thought there should be a charge for folks to come and give money away for the youth around here for sports.” Read the rest here »

Canyon Lake’s Austin Camacho running to Kingsville after qualifying in the 800 meter run
Area Meet had some surprises as Canyon Lake will take 11 athletes to Kingsville this week for Region Meet after qualifying in Liberty Hill.
CL’s 4×400 meter relay team set the best mark in Hawk history when they crossed the finish line in 3:25.75 finishing in 3rd place.
A record that had stood strong for 4 years was eclipsed with this year’s foursome.
Back in 2012, Canyon Lake had gone two years with the same group of boys in all three relay events and they have had the best time since that year.
Zach Henshaw, Daniel Camarillo, Eduardo Covarrubias, and Doug Hubnik were the foursome that will now relinquish their first place hold on the 4×400 relay time.
Austin Camacho, Lester Boehm, Heath McDonough, and Brandon Courtney are now proud owners and being on top of the heap.

Go Hawks!
Canyon Lake Softball got another win over a 1st place team, at La Vernia, on Tuesday, 5-4.
This was the second time in as many games that had a Hawk opponent residing at the top of the heap to find out that this ‘Last’ place club was not really that bad of a team.
That secret formula that had alluded the Hawks was unleashed as the CL scored the first 5 runs in this game to hold on for the win by one run.
This Bear team only had 4 hits going into their half of the 5th inning as Alexis Robinson was given the ball for her last start as a Hawk. This win for Robinson was her 40th in the circle at Canyon Lake finishing just one win away from Missy Romero’s final of 41 right at 4 years ago.
Robinson also controlled her walks while striking out 9 Bears in the contest.
But the game did get scary as momentum was with the Home Team in those last 3 innings.

Softball | Comments Off on Hawks End Season on 2 Game Win Streak beat La Vernia, 5-4

Mountain Valley Middle School was busy in Wimberley last Friday as their District Track Meet had all hands on deck for this event.
“We are really proud of how all of our kids competed at the district meet,” Athletic Coordinator Brandon Pawelek said. “They worked hard all season and we had quite a few personal records throughout our boys and girls teams……We had school records set by Nic Rivera in both 110 and 300 meter hurdles, as well as, Devon Cordell in the discus as well as both 7th and 8th grade girls 4×100 meter relay teams.”

MV Hawk Proud
The Hawks had several athletes that excelled on Friday with Rivera topping all MVMS students scoring 28 points after combining all events Rivera was entered.
Those boys hurdles will be busy next year for Canyon Lake as that is presently the best part of the Hawks high school team headlined by Brandon Courtney.
Well, Rivera served notice that he is ready to make his mark after setting MVMS bests in those events with two 1st place finishes.

This was a difficult year for Hawk Softball as this team had a very successful pre district record but just could not get out of the circle in district play.

Canyon Lake has a chance of sending several athletes this Thursday as the Hawks will need to finish in the top 2 to keep their eyes on getting to Austin.
The ReSporter added some Mountain Valley schedules for this week as you can have a chance of seeing some future CLHS Hawks compete.
Go Hawks!!

Junior Brandon Courtney will be favored in this week’s Area Meet in the 300 Meter Hurdle race
Jumping into this week’s Area Track Meet in Liberty Hill will be next on the docket as The ReSporter will look at District 25-4A results and compare those marks to Canyon Lake and the athletes that will be participating.
Thursday will be a day when the field of 4 qualifiers will be whittled down to the top 2 having a chance in competing in the Region Meet.
By looking at the results below from District 25-4A you will see Canyon Lake students that competing and give you an opportunity to see what that athlete will need to perform, in a perfect world, and go another week.

Track & Field | Comments Off on Track Area Meet this Thursday and how Hawks Stack Up

Seniors Alexis Robinson, Kirsten Jones, and Tiare Kacir
Canyon Lake Softball got their first district win over the first place, Wimberley Texans, 4-1 on Senior Night at the Hawk Nest.
Yes, it was a long time in coming as the Hawks proved that they were not as bad as their record indicated.
“We played so well,” Head Coach John Gallagher said relieved. “We talked about what we needed to do in pre-game and they came out focused and came out and did well.”
This win had all three of the basics working on this night as the fielding, pitching and hitting combined for this long in coming victory.
Kirsten Jones went out in style in raising her batting average to .493 and a Hawk record (so far) .598 on base percentage.
Not to mention 2 more stolen bases giving her 27 for the season which would rank only behind the batter Jones bats behind, Carley Dubois.
