Head Girl’s Soccer Coach Ryan Tierney

The ReSporter wanted to have a talk with Soccer’s Coach Ryan Tierney after another Hawk team made the playoffs.

Canyon Lake has 4 Team Sports for girls and with the Girl’s Track Team this has been a good year for the ladies as all have embarked on a quest of finishing their regular season for an opportunity in playing more games.

The ReSporter: What has been your biggest surprise this season with this team?

Coach Tierney: “It is absolutely the way they overcome adversity. All season long they have been faced with obstacles and great opponents and they have never given up and have stepped up in those occasions. These girls have a physical toughness and they love to compete. I enjoy all their efforts and praise all that they sacrifice and commit.”

The ReSporter: How does the district you are in compare to the other districts? Read the rest here »

 =======================================

This week the big game will be Boys Soccer taking place in Wimberley on Monday.

If the Hawks can win then they will clinch their first playoff as they will have the tie breaker over the Texans after a 2-2 game in the first round.

CL came within one goal in their last week’s game with District 28-4A Champion Fredericksburg and will now have their eyes set on this game with our neighbors to the North.

The Hawk ladies clinched 4th place last week and will now be getting ready for another year of playoffs. Congrats Lady Hawks!!

Baseball and Softball have fallen on hard times as both of these sports lost district games.

The Baseball team was in their first week of district contests while the Softball team have now gone two weeks of district competition without a win.

It is still early for both teams as this will be an important week for Softball as they will end their first round of games and will need to switch the on button on to start climbing to get into playoff contention.

All of those losses for the girls have had 3 games coming up just 1 run short while the other game against Cuero was decided by 2 runs.

Close but no cigar. (That statement is for President Obama’s Cuba trip this week.)

Track and Field, Golf, and Tennis will get back into action after enjoying their spring break.

A lot of games are on the road this week but a short drive to Wimberley would get you back to speed with your favorite Hawk team.

Go Hawks!!

Track: Canyon Lake Boys will be in Wimberley on Thursday, 24th

Landry Moore is hoping for More when District Meet comes calling

Landry Moore is hoping for More when District Meet comes calling

Canyon Lake will come back from Spring Break this week and this year’s track team for both the boys and girls has some potential to make some noise as those last weeks approach before District 26-4A Meet, April 6-7.

Last year, CL’s, dash events did not present a lot of opportunities for scoring. Joseph Ruiz had the best 100 meter dash coming in with a 11.58 time.

That result was the 11th best at the end of last year’s meets.

Taking a look at this season will give you an idea of how Canyon Lake has improved in this one event.

Hawks Lose Another Close Game to Cuero, 3-1

Catcher Kat Weber Can Throw You Out if you try to Steal

Catcher Kat Weber Will Throw You Out 

Canyon Lake continued their District 26-4A Season in a bad dream as another close loss to Cuero moves the Hawks record to 0-4 in district play losing, 3-1.

“We will need to stay together as a team,” Head Coach John Gallagher calculated after the loss. “We stranded way too many runners and we just got to score.”

On how important this next week will be, “Everybody is upbeat all of the girls know we can turn this around.”

The Hawks are the best 0-4 team in Texas as this talented group just needs a few good things to happen in order to turn this tide.

Canyon Lake has now gone 5 games without scoring in one of the first 3 innings. Those slow starts have proven to be a hard hole to climb out of.

Softball: Bats Catch a Cold in Loss to Gonzales, 2-1

Go Hawks!!

                         Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake could not get any traction in their loss to Gonzales and go 0-2 to start District 26-4A play.

“I knew this would be a tight game,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did not execute when we needed to, we played good defense and we pitched well and we also threw two base runners on second, but offensively we were not on.”

The Hawks bats have gone silent with just 3 hits in this contest and failing to get a batter to 3rd base. In fact, that happened just once hence that one run scored on an Apache error.

Alexis Robinson was the losing pitcher but was also having trouble with her strike zone throwing 132 pitches with 59 of those pitches being called a ball.

Coaches Corner with Softball’s, John Gallagher

Softball’s Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach John Gallagher after the Hawk’s loss to Yoakum last week.

The ReSporter: What is the answer to all of those pesky errors for this team?

Coach Gallagher: “All 8 of our errors were either from a lack of concentration or lack of confidence. All the errors were on routine plays that we make everyday in practice or in games. They have been addressed and worked on in practice.”

The ReSporter: You have pitching that seems to be excelling as you enter into district play. I know you would like to be firing with all of your weapons, between gloves and bat,which one is more important to get wins with pitching being the constant?

Coach Gallagher: “Our defensive play is more important at this point. We have been productive offensively so when our defense is solid we win.” Read the rest here »

Hawks Are Close in Loss to Marble Falls, 8-4

Isaiah Daily scores 2 runs and doubles another run in.

Isaiah Daily scores 2 runs and doubles another run in

Canyon Lake Hawks played their postponed Friday game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but not getting those needed hits resulted in a loss to Marble Falls, 8-4.

“We are not that far away,” Head Baseball Coach Trent Dunavant fielded. “We need to put our game all together, when we have something working then we will be lacking in another part of our game. In our last game we did not have a good fielding game but good pitching. In this game we fielded the ball well but our pitching was not up to par.”

There is good news however as this Mustang team had lapped CL earlier this year in the season with a short run ruled game and seeing how well the Hawks fielded the ball was a welcomed sight and playing a full 7 inning game and keeping the contest within a hit here or there for a rally gave the team hope.

Varsity Boys & Girls Track Finish 2nd in Bandera’s Meet

Bailey Drum scores 41 points in Bandera Meet

Bailey Drum scores 41 points in Bandera Meet

Canyon Lake Varsity finished 2nd in the Bandera Track Meet in both the Girls and Boys team.

It was a decent night but when the Hawks finish second then that will make it a longer ride home as this group of students are getting hungry for wins.

Haden Lee was the high point for the Hawks as this Senior scored in the Jumps, Dash, Relay, and Throwing events.

Lee needs to be fed at a cafeteria as he wants to fill his trey with several different types of food.
