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.

Canyon Lake won their last game with Lytle as the Hawks broke even in their Marion Tournament set of games, finishing 2-2.
The Hawks need to bottle whatever they are doing in that first quarter as those two middle stanza’s are just not adding up.
Canyon Lake shot a dismal 17% in their two games on Saturday during the third quarter resulting with 10 points total for those two games.
In the game with Lytle, big man Sean Nolan was a rock of Gibralter with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Add on another three blocks and CL put their team on this man’s broad shoulders to finish off these Pirates.
Tommy Clark finished with 10 points in the first game with Marion as he was the only player that could scare that double figure points mark in basketball lore.
Nolan and Clark both had 7 block shots in their first game as the Hawk team finished with 9 rejected shots total.
Sophomore Rory Preiss had the most impressive rejection as he had just committed a turnover and raced back down the court to swat the shot by the Bulldog into the wall.

Canyon Lake split their two games in the Marion Tournament on Friday as they will look for two wins on Saturday, after manhandling St. Girard in their opening match, 79-34.
The Hawks had three players finish in double digit scoring as the team shot lights out in this contest.
Brandon Ward led all scorers with 14 while Trendon Martinez finished one point less (13) and Tommy Clark had 10 points.
Every player scored in the game as CL scored 79 points in a win over Jourdanton four years ago. Canyon Lake scored 81 points in their game with Ingram Moore the year before that game which stands as most ever for the program.
All phases of this game was clicking as CL Hawks shot 60% from the field and 53% from beyond the three point arc.

Lady Hawks finished their first day at the New Braunfels Tournament 0-2 with losses to Dripping Springs and Bridge City last Thursday.
Canyon Lake continues to struggle from the field and in their game with Bridge City had a brash of turnovers that just buried this young team.
Things will certainly turn around as this team continues to mature as this season continues.
Freshman Alexa Ramos will soon help with her play while Junior Sarah Schneider had her best game with Bridge City.

Canyon Lake will be having a ‘get to know you’ party soon as their season is getting going with many players just now arriving for play time.
That issue played a big part in their loss to Somerset last Tuesday night.
“It will take us a while to get everyone in sync,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “The issue right now is we are going to play a lot of games without much practice time, so that will affect us even more. We don’t really have a whole lot of stuff in place on the offensive end.”
Some players have just arrived from playing football and others have returned from being injured and the result is having a team in their first week or two to three weeks behind other teams.
Nic Adams was the only Hawk to make double figures in scoring finishing with 10 against this Bulldog team.

Eli Achillies after game with Emery-Weiner
When Head Coach Lloyd Fields was contemplating moving on after this football season, he wanted to meet with other former Coaches as well as The ReSporter to see what the consensus would be for naming an All-Bracken team.
The following were the results of that discussion with a note that the first two years was not represented by people who had actually seen those players in person.
There were a few holdovers from that first club in 2006 but the majority of players on the 2006 team might have a different group that might not have been recognized.
So, with out any delay The ReSporter will name the top 6 players voted on and then expand that list by putting a player for each position on the field which would spread more mayonnaise on your sandwich.

Bracken Christian will bid farewell to a Coach who has roamed the sidelines for the past seven years.

Head Coach Lloyd Fields
BCS had just finished their first winning season with a 9-3 campaign and it was a quick turnaround from that first one win season the year before.
Giving up 500 points that first year was sure an eye opener, but those eyes would be opened wider when this Warrior team started winning at a regular clip.
Coach Lloyd Fields was entering in the front door for a school that would reach the highest of rarefied air when their 2010 season found themselves on top of the heap in 6-man football.
Fields had started his coaching career in 1969 when he was student teacher at Texarkana, Arkansas.
After a brief stint in the Marine Corp, he once again would come back to coaching in Lufkin as a junior high coach.
His first head coaching job would be in Waco at Richfield High School that is now known as Waco High.
Coach Fields first year at Bracken, fell one game short, of their previous season’s record and with a 1-1 playoff slate.
Meeting the eventual runner-up for State in that season, Rockwall Heritage, to start those playoffs was not a good way to make your mark in your first year.
