Canyon Lake’s first team to win a district title has released their schedule for this coming year.
With the change of districts, Canyon Lake, will have 6 games needed to get the same amount of games as last year’s district had 3 extra schools to play.
Y4 Custom Homes says Go Hawks
Looking at the schedule, the Hawks, have really upped their opponents and will be playing several perennial schools in the world of Volleyball.
That should help in preparation for district play and the The ReSporter had a chance to talk with Head Coach Kim Paisley about their next season in preparation of defending their title even if it will consist of different schools.

Alexis ‘Smiley’ Robinson signs two letters of intent for playing at Sul Ross
Alexis Robinson signed her letter of intent to attend Sul Ross earlier this year and will play two sports that she excelled in at Canyon Lake these past four years.
Robinson was the replacement for Missy Romero in the circle four years ago and she grew into her roll with grace and stamina, leaving with a bus load of records.
A good parting gift for Robinson could be a turn-table or a Juke Box to have a chance to replay her records while at school.
Robinson will be going from the Hill Country to the Davis Mountain Country as that will also be her job in raising her talent level in order to compete on a college stage. Just like climbing a hill versus climbing a mountain, it will be steeper and much higher.

Bailey Drum signing for a chance to play at Angelo State University
Bailey Drum signed her letter of intent to attend Angelo State University with a Volleyball scholarship earlier this year.

Angelo State had a 33-6 record last season after going 3 rounds in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Rams will be graduating just 3 seniors on last year’s team as Drum will be thrown into the fire quickly for her first year of competition.
Drum finished her career at Canyon Lake with some impressive numbers.

The ReSporter: Coach Drum, give us an idea on how your off season has progressed.
Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum
Coach Drum: “It has gone real good…we have more than ever involved as we have 4 teams and we are excited about the numbers in hopefully getting some depth for next year.”
The ReSporter: Does this might mean having enough players to specify either on offense or defense?
Coach Drum: “Luckily that will be the case, we have the numbers with the lower grades but you might have enough for the lineman but not the skill positions, so it is still a wait and see game.”
The ReSporter: I know in the past, Mountain Valley would send students over to Canyon Lake this time of year and have an opportunity to show them the ropes, is that still something that is done?
Coach Drum: “We go over there during their athletic period and we will have several of our coaches with those students.” Read the rest here »
Robert Woods with an army of Coaches having his back
This time of year will always have some touching moments as many 18 year old students embark on making their mark in life and say good-bye their high school days.
On Thursday of this past week, Robert Woods, was using his time wisely as he chose a College he could get a higher degree while playing a sport he had grown to love, football.
Mary Hardin Baylor will be the recipient school to enjoy an athlete that will give them his all.
Woods was part of a small Senior class, but these students made up for it as each player had a significant skill set that they translated into making their team get all they could out of the leadership shown by example.
Whether Woods was playing football, basketball, or scoring points in Track & Field, this young man did not leave school thinking he could have done more.

Mountain Valley Lady Hawks Softball Win District
Mountain Valley took SV Rangers to the cleaners after swamping the home team, 15-1 in completing their undefeated season.
Earlier this year, the Hawks escaped with a 12-11 win over Smithson Valley, which was as close any team would get to Mountain Valley Middle School.
On Saturday, Mountain Valley had a statement game as they had seven outs in the 4 inning affair as the Hawks were capped with 5 runs in three of the four innings played.
Maddy Puente and Kensie Sayles combined for a 4 hitter in this mercy game with a total dominating win over the Rangers.
Last season, Mountain Valley was denied a first place finish by this same club as the Hawks had plenty motivation in wanting to complete this season with this victory.
Mountain Valley started off strong with a lead off walk and 5 singles while only having one out when Chelsea Tschoepe scored stopping the inning.
SV Rangers scratched across one run on two singles with their half of the first inning and that score would be all she wrote for the home team.
Going into the 3rd inning, the Hawks, started strong again when Puente was first up with a triple.
Adrianna Peaslee was up next with a single to drive in Puente. Peaslee finished the day with 3 hits and 3 rbi’s.
After a Hawk out, the next 5 batters would get a hit as this game was quickly getting out of hand with no MV batter being struck out.
Another 5 run inning and a comfortable 10-1 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd inning.
Mountain Valley changed pitchers as Puente took 3rd base while Kensie Sayles
Adrianna Peaslee and Kensie Sayles
would finish the next two innings.
In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Sayles started off allowing two singles. However, that would be the extent of the Rangers damage as two fly-outs and 4 strikeouts would put the Rangers out of their misery in those last two innings.
Only a walk in the bottom of the 4th as Sayles struck out the side against the other SV batters.
“I was going for spotting the ball,” Sayles said like a crafty pitcher that struck out the side to end the game.
Meanwhile, Mountain Valley would all but clinch their title with another 5 run 4th inning.
In what would be the last inning, Peaslee would touch all the bases after a line shot to left field that only had the outfield fence able to stop the screamer hit.
Peaslee was non-stop around the bases as she hit an inside the park homer to the delight of her teammates and the Hawk crowd.
“Amazing feeling,” Peaslee said with excitement. “I felt the hit and getting all the way home was amazing.”
“Last year, we lost to Smithson Valley, which kept us from winning it all,” Peaslee commented. “We wanted to get this win….this game we were ready to dominate and wanted to finish this season strong….we wanted to go all the way and not just halfway.”
The stunned silence from the Smithson Valley side of the stands was the price of admission on a day your Hawks would silence the Ranger team after turning this game to a laugher.
Only two Mountain Valley players were not able to get a base hit, but those two at bats did not go to waste as Landry Brown’s sacrifice flyball scored Madi Row who opened with a single.
Patrice Martinez was not allowed a chance to hit as she was walked and she stole a base and scored later in the inning.
If you want to know what dominance looks like then be sure you have some water close by as you try to digest these numbers:
game batting stats
batting average on base percentage slugging percentage
.720 .750 .960
Those 4 hits Smithson Valley recorded for the game was less than the number of hits the Hawks accumulated in 3 of their innings.
This game was bound to be over after the 4th inning as there were other forces that would be sure this game went no further as the lightning and rain started soon after the umps called the game due to that 14 run lead.
“I hope I can be the best pitcher next year and strike out more players for outs,” Pitcher Peaslee said unabashedly.
A banner year for a group of ladies that dominated district opponents from Cuero to Middle Schools that feed into 6A schools.
That beacon of light seen by Hawk parent’s going home was the collective smiles of Canyon Lake Coaches who will be welcoming in a wealth of talent for the coming years.
Next school year can not get her soon enough for the sports addicts, but some of you can be excused if you want to take a couple of months off before making your trek to Canyon Lake High School
Congrats on another District Championship and Go Hawks!!

Coach Paisley doing what she does best: Motivate
The ReSporter: What do you do different this year compared to last year when you had so many girls that had so much experience?
Coach Paisley: “Well, no matter what group you have and how experienced they are, we give them every opportunity and push them to be the best they can be. We lost 7 seniors after this season, but we as coaches will challenge and push our athletes to be the competitive athletes. We are never the exact same year to year, and we have a totally new dynamic of a team this upcoming season. We will be teaching on a more tactical level with game situations and really express the “why’s” behind what we are teaching.”
The ReSporter: What have you seen so far that has made you say this could be another good year?
Coach Paisley: “We are the same Hawk team as far as expectations are concerned, but I have seen some great strides the girls have made through the offseason and club season. We really do have some great returners and some great kids that are up to the challenge filling in the holes left by this past year’s seniors.” Read the rest here »
Marley Carrizales and Maddy Puente next stop will be at Canyon Lake HS
Mountain Valley Hawks dam up Canyon to make a Lake in 8-0 victory to remain undefeated this season.
MV now has a 7-0 record going into their last game this Saturday with a chance of finishing this season with an unblemished record.
“They all hate to lose,” Head Coach Jacque Scott said lovingly. “It takes a lot of hard work in practice and they have grown as a team.”
Coach Scott continued, “They have all done a great job and by working hard they have definitely been a team thing.”
A paltry 2 hits was all Canyon could muster in this loss as Mountain Valley’s defense kept the water from spilling over as each facet of the Hawk’s game was in high gear.
Starting pitcher, Maddy Puente was on this night and helped start what would turn out to be a dominant performance as she has a chance of having her sister, Kaylee Puente as her catcher.

The ReSporter: How did this year stack up with your previous years?
Hawk after a downing several pounds of Crawfish
Craw Martelli: “The 9th annual Crawfish Boil was a great year! The 7th Annual was a good year but it falls short of this years success. We boiled up 1200lbs this year and sold every last one ,compared to 750lbs in 2013.”
The ReSporter: Compare your first year with this last Saturday’s Crawfish.
Craw Martelli: “The first boil was just 4 family’s eating crawfish in the back yard and maybe finishing off two sacks-70lbs. Comparing it to HCB #9,……. it would be like me comparing the Slot -T offense to a Spread offense, Veer or three separate offense but its all football, ya just cant compare them as far as fundraising goes. However, its always goodtime to hang out with all your friends for a good cause- CL Athletics.”
The ReSporter: Having the event at Brookshire’s had to be a boost based on their location and how they support the Hawks, do you think that had anything to do with this year’s event?
Craw Martelli: “Brookshire Brothers really came through for us and the community. They are 100% behind our CLHS and its causes. Kenneth Moore the store Manager and Kaci Spence – the Lakeside Café and Bar Manager, really opened up the doors for us and the crowds kept coming steadily all day until 8pm. This location helped drive out of town people into the event and it helped the cash register chiming along, at least that’s what Dr. Hartman said, they keep me in the back and don’t let me out much.” Read the rest here »
