to a 19-5 win over Luling Eagles in their final game in the Navarro Tournament on Saturday.

Young had a double and home run in a 12 run first inning to give the Hawks a cushion that helped this young ball club to a 4-2 record opening their season.

“Overall, we improved over our Thursday games,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “The players played hard and never quit…We will use these games with some teaching in the field.”

Every Hawk had a hit in this game as Canyon Lake batted around the order twice in those three innings before this game was called on a time limit.

CL starts the season with 5 home runs in their first six games and that is more dingers than Canyon Lake has had in their history.

Ahrens was one of the players with two home runs to start this season.

for a one run win over Pearsall Mavericks, 5-4 at Navarro’s Tournament.

Canyon Lake finished their first day with a 2-1 record with a 13-12 loss to Connally and a win over Gonzales, 11-6 in their earlier games on Thursday.

“I am very pleased with how we played,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did well offensively and hit the ball well and bunted well.”

The Hawks are so young that even their one of two seniors is Brianna YOUNG.

Freshman and Sophomores ‘make up’ many new faces, in fact, they might be so young that they don’t wear ‘make up’.

CL Boy’s Basketball Lose Final Game to Bandera, 67-48

Isaac Mendez has one of his best games against Bandera's final contest

Isaac Mendez has one of his best games in final contest against Bandera

Canyon Lake ends season on a losing note as the Hawks said good-bye to four Seniors who played their last game.

Bandera finished off the Hawks, 67-48, as CL once again started the game in a whole as the Bulldogs finished that first quarter in the lead, 18-7.

Isaac Mendez did have one of his best games of the season on this night as he was the only Hawk in double figure scoring finishing with 12 points and also chipped in with 9 rebounds which also led the Canyon Lake effort.

Canyon Lake did finish the season as the all time leading Hawk team with steals, rebounds, and blocks per game.

Those numbers still did not translate into victories as CL finished the season without a district win.

Conversely Canyon Lake also finished this season as the worst team for defense, assists, and turnovers was only 3 away from leading in that category (2009 team had 3 more turnovers).

The Hawk Seniors did make their presence known for their last game: Andrew Riali, Tyler Clark, Isaac Mendez, Javier Mendez, and Luke Curry.

Player Quotes:
On what you think about last game and what wisdom for younger players:
Senior Isaac Mendez: “This went by quick….you can’t take days off and I hope for a different season than what we did.”
Senior Javier Mendez: “The season ending kind of stinks….the players got to understand the harder you work, the better you get.”
Senior Andrew Riali: “It is hard to say good-bye….this year all I wanted to do is concentrate on basketball. The players have to practice three times harder and work on what you are worse at doing. Work over the
Summer as much as you can on dribbling skills, finishing, and free throws.”
Senior Luke Curry: “We were building blocks for future teams.”
Junior Garrett Winters: “Ultimately, I would like to win some basketball games next year. We need to reduce our turnovers and just take care of the ball.”

The ReSporter will have final stats for the year and all-time stats tomorrow.

This Week at Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Boys will be at Home for their last game of the season with Bandera

Canyon Lake Boys will be at Home for their last game of the season with Bandera this Tuesday night

This Week at Canyon Lake

Last week was a ‘Lost in Weather’ week as many games were not played or the dates changed because of those nasty elements.

The Girls Basketball team did finish their season last Tuesday and next year should have a team starting to make a little more noise as this year’s team was full of underclassman and to top that off, the Junior Varsity girls finished with several wins to end the season.

Boys Basketball will be having their final game at home with Bandera on Tuesday as they too will put those sneakers away for another year.

Coaches Corner with Softball Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter wanted to get with Head Softball Coach John Gallagher as this season

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

starts this week in the Navarro Tournament.

The ReSporter: What type of team (young or old) is hindered the most wen losing games because ow weather?

Coach John Gallagher: “I am not sure it affects either any differently because it’s so early on that everyone is looking to get as much work as they can before starting games. Obviously, it has hampered us by not having good weather to get in the work we need.”

The ReSporter: With a bad week of weather, how do you work on the basic skills these girls need to progress?

Coach John Gallagher: “With bad weather we spent three days outside working on throwing, fielding, and bunting. Getting used to the cold weather was the goal. We stressed playing in these type of conditions you need to be sure-handed and stay moving. One day we spent in the gym working on hitting and bare-hand catching with softie balls as well as catching up on conditioning.”

Emily Muniz was another Senior that improved this season after dusting off the moth balls from being inactive from not playing last year.

Freshman Sarah Russell came on as this season culminated as she finished with 8 points while she was perfect from outside the three point arc.

Junior Kyndall Drum also finished up a very productive season as this player continued to improve in all aspects of her game.

Hawk’s Basketball Short-Handed in Loss to Billies, 68-45

Garrett Winters ready to attack.

Garrett Winters ready to attack.

Canyon Lake lost to front runner Fredericksburg in Basketball on Saturday after the scheduled game on Friday was postponed due to weather, 68-45.

Fredericksburg jumped on CL with a 21-8 first quarter and the game was all but over as the Hawks had only eight players ready for action on this rescheduled affair.

Canyon Lake had a decent day of shooting when you take the misses from beyond the arc.

With two shots made out of 16, CL would have a hard time sustaining any sort of rally. From inside the arc, the Hawks made almost half their tries which has been the case for most of this year.
