Senior Nick Cahill finished his Hawk career trailing only Michael Brady with a sparkling .354 batting average
Canyon Lake pulled off a season ending victory over Gonzales last Friday night as Cody Powell struck out 14 Apaches in the win, 5-1.
In a 7 inning game you need to record 21 outs as a visiting team to record a victory and when your southpaw pitcher is on, then 14 strikeouts will also be a pitchers best defense in the victory.
Those strikeouts equates to 2 out of 3 outs per inning and the Hawks rode that train for their second win over Gonzales this season.
Nick Kissell led the Hawks with 2 hits and also had a walk for a decent on base percentage.
Colton Avey doubled for the only extra base hit as their were several Hawks playing in their last game for Canyon Lake.

Vicky Henderson would do whatever it took to get an out
The ReSporter will finish out the best Hawk Softball players and dream what kind of game these players would have if they actually were on the same team.
Last article had Missy Romero pitching, Alexis Robinson at first base, Brianna Young as the catcher, and Carly Dubois holding down center field.
The dream batting order (so far):
cf Carly Dubois
p Missy Romero
1b Alexis Robinson
c Brianna Young
Next on the All-Hawk team would be Kelsey Ahrens who just finished her career with several stats with her name at the top.
Ahrens is another player that was not selected just for her bat, she was a good third baseman that was ranked high too.

Haden Lee worked a pinch hit and stolen base in limited action in Tuesday’s game
Canyon Lake finished their last home game with a loss to Yoakum last Friday night as errors kept the game out of reach for the home squad, 9-2.
The score might not look close, but up until that final inning, Canyon Lake was still within striking range of pulling off a win, with a 4-2 deficit.
Baseball can be tough sport as Yoakum capitalized with timely hits, while the Hawks could score only one run after having 3 consecutive singles to start the 5th inning with just one run being scored.
The Hawks ran out of steam in that last inning giving up 5 runs and too many runs to get back into the game.

Hawks JV split their games with Gonzales, Monday night after a razor thin loss in the night cap, 3-2.
Runs galore in the first game (CLJV 14 Gonz 7) turned to finding runs anyway you could in the night cap and Gonzales finding one more run in the win.
Canyon Lake did use four pitchers in the night game as Coach Brandon Durst was quick with the trigger once a Hawk Pitcher found it rough going.
Avery Montgomery was, johnny on the spot, as his stint on the mound helped keep the game close when he entered with the bases loaded and no outs in the 3rd inning.
“I was hoping I could throw strikes and I got my confidence up and then started throwing as hard as I could,” Montgomery said with precision. “When I start a game I find it harder to fall into a rhythm than when I close a game.”

2012 Graduate Missy Romero
The ReSporter wants to give the All-Hawk Softball Team and then you can also see below, the Top Ten in Hawk Stats based on one season of play.
Hope you enjoy both articles.
Canyon Lake would be able to put a pretty ‘Salty’ group of young ladies on the field if you could bring players together while they were in their hay day while in school.
First on the list would be Missy Romero who not only was a good pitcher, but her bat and glove was certainly one of the bests in school history.
The ReSporter will put Missy as the player in the circle for this team as she finished her career with a 2.77 ERA and 641 strikeouts.

Hawks dominate in the Hurdles
Canyon Lake now has two athletes continuing into the Region Meet in Kingsville as Bailey Drum and Brandon Courtney punched their ticket in the hurdle events.
Drum placed with a 4th place finish in the 100 Meter Hurdles, while Courtney qualified with his personal best 300 Meter Hurdle run finishing with 39.68 time and a second place finish.

Senior’s Kelsey Ahrens and Lizzy Henderson taking in their last time as Hawk Softball players
Canyon Lake finished another year with a winning record but just short in district play as front runner La Vernia rushed out to a lead and held on, 9-5 on Senior night at the Hawk Diamond.
For Senior Night, both Lizzy Henderson and Kelsey Ahrens were honored as they finished their career in sports for Canyon Lake.
Ahrens took that honor one step further as she deposited a home run over the left field fence that also gave her the all time rbi stat finishing with 76 rbi’s on this night.
The Hawks had as many errors as hits, and those errors will give a team like La Vernia all they need to keep a lead and winning.
CL did have 5 unanswered runs during the 4th and 5th innings, to claw back to within 2 runs of the Bears before the Hawks ran out of innings and games on this beautiful night under the stars.

Softball | Comments Off on Hawks Say Good-Bye to Seniors in Loss to La Vernia, 9-5
Track Season is in their phase of Playoffs, as the Hawk Boy’s and Girl’s Team will take the stage in the Area Track Meet featuring District 25-4A and 26-4A schools on Thursday.
The Hilltop ReSporter had an opportunity to talk to several of the students that will be competing and will share their thoughts going into this meet that will give them a chance to showcase their skills in Kingsville for the Region Meet.
Austin Camacho will be running 800 Meters for a chance to reach Regions
The ReSporter caught up with Austin Camacho first.
The ReSporter: Hey Austin, what are you trying to hit time wise on your first lap?
Austin Camacho: “You’ve got to think smart when running and I will have three coaches giving me times while I am running, but I would like to finishing the first lap with a 60 or 61 seconds, but the coaches are giving me times at the 100 and 200 marks and I like having a pace and time at those places.”

The ReSporter: What are your overall impressions for this group of athletes?
Track and Field Coach Troy Moses
Coach Moses: “Right now they are enthusiastic and working hard to improve. That has made it fun to coach.”
The ReSporter: You have to feel emboldened when you look at how young your team is and how stacked of an incoming group of young man enter into next year’s season.
Coach Moses: “We have a very good young group of athletes. There are good jumpers and runners and hurdlers, and that has the potential to be a very good track team in the upcoming years. But, at this point it’s only POTENTIAL!!!
The ReSporter: What does it take for a student to be able to realize their goal and get to a Region Meet? Read the rest here »
