Nathan De Leon and Drew Tyra after game with Blanco
Canyon Lake JV Baseball won their tied game against Blanco on Thursday at the Hawk Nest, 9-9.
Earlier this season, Canyon Lake played Blanco and let’s just say that The ReSporter decided not to have an article on the massacre.
It was not a pretty game and in situations like that, it is better to leave the written word in the can.
Over a month later, another game was scheduled and The ReSporter wanted to see if there had been any improvement during this season.

The ReSporter: What are your overall thoughts after District Meet?
Track and Field Coach Troy Moses
Coach Moses: “I was very proud of the performance from all of our athletes. We set 4 school records and everybody gave their best performances of the year. I don’t think you can ask for more.”
The ReSporter: Why was our district meet a week earlier than most other districts?
Coach Moses: “The coaches in the district decided to move the date up to give us more time to prepare for Area and Regionals.”
The ReSporter: When you have two weeks before the next meet what do you do different with the qualifiers?
Coach Moses: “It is a huge advantage, this week we will be doing some heavy training while others are preparing for their district meet. Next week we will back off again to make sure we are ready for Area.” Read the rest here »
The ReSporter: What are your overall thoughts after District Meet?
GO HAWKS!!
Coach Barthels: “My overall thoughts on the district track meet are that we participated at a much higher level than we have all year. Other schools did as well, resulting in us placing 4th place instead of first, but we had about 90% of the girls run a better time than they have run all year and that is what is asked of them. “
The ReSporter: Why was our district meet a week earlier than most other districts?
Coach Barthels: “We meet and agree a year in advance as to when we will have district meets. There is a set date that you must have district finished and if you have bad weather it gets crazy, doing things this way allows more time to get ready for the area and then regional meets as opposed to running district and then the next week have area and then the next week regionals. It is going to help me as we have a couple of girls banged up right now and this will give us more time to heal and be at our best.”

Baseball and Softball get Gobbled up by the Cuero Gobblers as both games failed to reach the 7th inning.
This is a tough year for bats and balls as Baseball has won 2 games and this year’s Softball team is presently on a 10 game losing streak.
For the Hawk Baseball team you have youth out the wazoo as CL lost several Seniors last season and just were not loaded enough to keep that train on it’s track.
“We played ok, just could not get anything going offensively,” Head Baseball Coach Trent Dunavant stated. “We put the ball in play, just could not square anything up…so give them credit for getting the job done offensively.”
Canyon Lake’s Baseball has gone two games without a run as finding the right combination for batting is a hit and miss. (pardon the pun)
Gavin Dietrich took the loss as Cuero continues fighting for one of those precious play-off spots.

Carly Dubois shows off the ball that left the yard
Canyon Lake’s Softball team showed signs of life but the Hawks still could not dig out of their hole in loss to Navarro, 17-13.
“We put ourselves in a hole,” Head Coach John Gallagher stated. “We fought back and this team never gives up and I am really proud of what the team did….we started tagging the ball pretty well.”
That last comment from Coach Gallagher will give you an indication of the slump this team has been in since district play started over a month ago.
The 13 runs was more than adding up the previous 8 games and getting into double digit hits has not been seen since their last win in Johnson City against Copperas Cove.
But, when you put the team to the test with the Big 3 that needs to be humming (pitching/hitting/fielding), then you can see by the 17 runs given up that pitching was not on as well as still committing way to many errors.
That hole that was dug had the Panthers with a 12-1 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd inning.

Hawk 4×400 relay breaks CL Record with 4:07.85 time Bailey Drum, Skylar Hurst, Emma Gray, Sophia Thorpe
Canyon Lake’s next stop will be Liberty Hill in two weeks for the Area Meet to qualify for Region Meet in Kingsville.
The top 4 in each event got their ticket punched for this chance and the Hawks had several athletes who had personal best finishes which might be an indication that the record breaking might not be finished.
CL’s Boys and Girls both finished in 4th place in their district meet held in Cuero this past Wednesday and Thursday.
Hurdles was the strength of both Boys and Girls as Bailey Drum and Brandon Courtney both lowered their best times in this meet.
Drum had a 36 point meet scoring in all 5 events she entered. that included 3 first place finishes while qualifying for the Area Meet in 4 of those 5 events.
Canyon Lake had points every time Drum walked out to compete, as this future Angelo State Volleyball player proved she can handle track & field too.
With Drum’s 36 points, she passed 200 points for the year and now resides with 213 tallies and more meets ahead for this tireless athlete.
“After all of this, I don’t have a lot of energy left,” Drum noted after her final event. “I honestly did not think I was running that fast and I just attacked every hurdle.”
That last comment was in response to lowering her best 300 meter hurdle race by over 2 seconds.

Hawk Proud
Canyon Lake will embark this Wednesday for their 2 day trek of climbing a hill as both the Boys and
Girls track teams have legitimate chances for claiming a district championship.
This year has seen many firsts for Canyon Lake, as the Volleyball team claimed the first district crown when they finished District 26-4A undefeated.
Football made the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row while both the Boys Basketball and Boys Soccer had good enough seasons to find themselves playing in their first playoff games.
Girl’s Basketball returned to playoff action, after a 5 year hiatus while the Girls Soccer team will continue in their playoff journey going into the 3rd round as they play for an Area Crown on Tuesday.

Canyon Lake is now the time for desperation as another one run loss has the Hawks looking at a situation where some help will be needed and wins have to start tomorrow.
“We are playing not to lose instead of playing for a win,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We worked hard and our effort was there.”
CL still has a mathematical shot for the playoffs but like someone with cataracts they don’t need to be driving while it is dark outside.
Errors were the culprit again as one of those dastardly mistakes led to 2 runs in the top of the 7th inning and an eventual loss.
Alexis Robinson had just 3 walks but those were all bunched up during the same inning while the Hawks decided to have 2 errors that same inning giving the Bulldogs 4 runs without a hit.
