Canyon Lake got rid of their krytonite quarters and finished with 78 points in their win over Pleasanton on Tuesday night at the Hawk gym.
Sophomore Rory Preiss and Junior Brandon Ward help take care of the Eagles
“We got into what we are suppose to do and we have been working on that more in practice,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “No turnovers and that allowed us to work do more stuff.”
For most of this year, CL has had problems scoring in the second and third quarters. With each game a good first stanza in scoring would be followed by a second or third quarter of less than 10 points.
On this night, Canyon Lake solved those two quarters and finished in a flurry scoring 40 points combined for those quarters culminating in an 18 point victory.
Junior Brandon Ward started the game with his first points off an assist from Sophomore Rory Preiss.
Both players finished with double digit scoring while seniors Sean Nolan and Garrett Winters also joining the double digit party with 10 and 14 points respectfully.

Navarro, Fulton, and Boyd team up for an 8 point win over Pleasanton
“We started strong and had a good first two quarters,” Head Freshman Coach Javier Almanza said. “We let our guard down in the third but finished in the fourth quarter.”
The Hawks had Boyd finishing with 21 points and Cole was next with 8 points in a game that showed a lot of needed energy as this semester draws to a close.
“Our third quarter was a combination of bad defense and turnovers,” Coach Almanza stated. “We let them back into the game and I had to throw in guys who could handle the pressure and Navarro and Fulton did that.”
Ben Fulton did not show numbers in scoring, but his game shows how a player can influence a game in other ways.
“Hustle plays and taking care of the ball with good defense and grabbing rebounds,” Coach Almanza closed.

CL Lady Hawks were left short handed in loss to Lago Vista last Tuesday night, 40-36.
Lexy Jackson made all six of her points from the Free Throw line in game with Lago Vista
The Hawks had a one point lead at halftime but they were living on borrowed time as injuries and foul trouble help reduce Canyon Lake’s roster to five players at the end of this game.
“We showed good hustle,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “But our lack of experience hurt us at the end when the game was time to close it out.”
In starting this contest, Senior Kelsey Ahrens was nursing a sore back and Freshman Reagan Heun was ill, which had two starters taken out of their line-up before the opening tip-off.
A turned ankle for Alexa Ramos, then adding Alexis Fullen and Mia Riali, and Sarah Schneidr leaving for the bench after committing their fifth foul left Coach Gallagher looking at an empty bench for substitutions.
That speaks volumes, for a team that has had problems in many areas but being able to be competitive to the end without having players that are used to playing significant minutes.

Canyon Lake is presently on a two game winning streak and in years past that would not have happened, as both of these games were ugly and ugly games have a way of being more repulsive with a loss.
Garrett Winters made Comfort a cold place in leading the Hawks with 11 points
Comfort was swept in all three games as the Hawk Varsity finally came back for a two point win, 39-37.
“We picked it up on defense which led to easy shots,” Head Coach Luke Chapman said. “We did a good job of moving the ball during that part of the game.”
“We are unsure of what to do on offense,” Coach Chapman continued. “It was good to win another close one but with this ugly win, it will still give us a lot of stuff to improve on in practices.”
Garrett Winters reached double digits when he hit three ‘behind the arc’ shots in a row to help get a lead and extending that lead in the fourth quarter.
“After I hit that first one (three pointer) it became a confidence thing,” Senior Guard Winters said coldly. “That last one was a miscommunication on Comfort’s defense and I just took advantage of it.”
Winters was reacting to his wide open three pointer on a break that help seal the deal for the Hawks.

Lady Hawks Basketball starts their home stretch before District 27-4A play begins later this month.
Senior Kyndall Drum’s return will be a welcome sight for a young Hawk team
To say that Canyon Lake is young would be an obvious statement and so that 3-11 record should not surprise the casual viewer.
What you will need to see as this season continues is how this group of young ladies will improve on some of their weaknesses and with that improvement being able to focus on the bigger picture, a berth for post-season.
This line-up presently has just two players that were suited up from last year’s team.
That simple statement explains a team that is relearning offense/defense and just getting to know each other.
Sophomore Mia Riali and Junior Sarah Schneider are the only players that played last season with Kyndall Drum biting at the bit to return later this month after suffering a pre-season injury.
Drum led last year’s team in scoring and finished second in rebounds.
