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.

========================================
Canyon Lake Sports start to wind down as the Hawk Softball team will playing their last game of the season on Tuesday in La Vernia.
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.
What made last week win over Wimberley so satisfying was that the win was against the Texans and that would be the last district game for the next two years since Canyon Lake will moving west for their district games.
Baseball is entering into their last 3 games with one game this week in La Vernia and then an off day on Friday.
CL will have their last week of action next week when they play Yoakum away and then Senior Day with Gonzales on that Friday.
Track & Field will be in action in Liberty Hill this Thursday as the Hawks will do battle with District 25-4A Schools and our district qualifiers for a chance to compete the next week in TAMU-Kingsville.
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.

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.
