Canyon Lake Hawks changed their basketball date to Saturday based on football playoffs and took care of business with
Canyon Lake Hawks getting in Basketball shape
a 6 point win over Lockhart at Mountain Valley Middle School’s main gym.
The Hawks started slow with a five point first quarter, but scoring in double digits in their next three quarters was more than the Lockhart Lions could handle.
The win gives CL a 3-0 record to start the season as this team has some young players and teammates getting used to their chemistry sets. Some good momentum before the schedule starts to have larger road blocks will be a hopeful by product.
In this Lockhart win, the word ‘Team’, was apropos with no player scoring more than six points.
That honor of high point went to (Fr) Mia Riali, (Jr) Kyndall Drum, and (So) Sarah Schneider.

Hawk Rumblings
The ReSporter will have a Student Corner after their win over Pleasanton.
The ReSporter: Hey Christian (Dittman) you had a great game of penetrating and putting pressure on their quarterback Arevalo, what was happening out on the field?
DE Christian Dittman: “That was something we worked on and studied film all week and we saw a weak link.”
The ReSporter: You caused the first fumble and helped in keeping Arevalo running up the middle…
Christian Dittman: “We just kept containing him an they could not get anything outside on us.”
The ReSporter: Matt Riffe great win, what are your first thoughts of what just happened?
LB Matt Riffe: “I have never been so shocked in my life. I would not trade this team for anything in this world.”
The ReSporter: We have talked to Dittman about how he was forcing their plays up the middle and into your area, give us your thoughts on that part of this game.
Matt Riffe: “We were watching the draw play and reading their lead and that led them right up the middle where we controlled their run game.”

Pleasanton is nice enough to lend a hand in pushing McGuire Johnson over the goal line.
Canyon Lake just made every fan who has ever said, “That is why you play the game,” a truism as the Hawks jumped out to a 14 point lead and held on for a 24-21 win on a Mike Thorpe, 19 yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
“We did not get breaks during the first of the year,” Head Coach Charles Drum said. “This team just kept fighting back and now this game is important because of all the confidence we lost in the Navarro game has come back.”
Pleasanton came into this game as a one loss team, but found out Canyon Lake was no slouch and were succumbed at the hands of this 3-7 team.
The Eagles (9-1) did have a good record, but their non-district opponents were over 20 games below .500 ball
A Pleasant Sandwich
while CL had played a non-district schedule with teams sporting a 20-42 record.
Pleasanton won the toss and had moved into Canyon Lake’s territory when Christian Dittman put a hit on an Eagle causing a fumble that Dominick Theisz pounced on.
That play allowed the Hawks to drive 63 yards on 9 plays and a quick 7-0 score when McGuire Johnson ran it in from the 8 yard line.
On that drive, Josh DeVries had first dibs with a 20 yard run and Hayden DuBois then helped the Hawks overcome a penalty and gained 14 yards when 15 yards was needed for a first.
Two plays later the Johnson score gave Pleasanton a sad start.
The Hawk Defense then contributed on the Eagles next set of plays with a Dittman sack and a punt.

Is the drought over for Canyon Lake as this football team plays in their first Bi-District tussle tonight against Pleasanton in San Antonio since playing Burnet three years ago?
Hawks getting Defensive
As many of Hawk fans know, one rain does not end a drought, but the Hawk Ladies also were able to jump this same playoff bar in Soccer howbeit in a 4A classification last Spring.
Another facet, with this being a year where UIL ruled that four teams per district would be eligible for qualifying for extra games.
Based on that statement, Canyon Lake would of had just one team qualify last year if that same criteria of having four teams qualify.
What sport? Football was that sport as all of last year’s programs finished in the 5th or 6th spot in their respective beauty contest while CL’s football team did finish in fourth place.

Pre/Game | Comments Off on Pre-Game: Bracken Christian vs. Sugar Land Logos Prep
Canyon Lake had a rude awakening to their season last Tuesday as they absorbed a 50 point loss to Cedar Creek.
One item to take note would be playing a higher classification school will not result in good things when many players are still in pads and helmets.
The Hawks are still without a compliment of players and this is not to imply a loss would not have still been the outcome. But, that outcome would have not been of this magnitude.
“Obviously it is disappointing any time you lose,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “I was very proud of our effort. We were outmanned and the guys we did have suit out, played as hard as they could.”
Playing a game when many of your players have not practiced and will not be implemented until the football season ends does give a coach a chance to see other tendencies with a team besides a score.

Coaches Corner: Lloyd Fields
The ReSporter: How has your week of practice been going Coach?
Head Coach Lloyd Fields
Coach Fields: “We have been getting ready to play a ballgame…when we played this game earlier this year after our contest with Austin Hill Country and our game with Sugar Land helped right our ship.”
The ReSporter: What is your overall thought about the game this week?
Coach Fields: “They are bigger and faster, but we are more physical…looking at the polls they have this game as even and that would be a good way of looking at this contest since we just won by four points in our earlier game.”
The ReSporter: What do you tell your players in getting them prepared for this game?
Coach Fields: “We have to bring our ‘A’ game and make no mistakes because this game will be decided in the fourth quarter, this is the most evenly matched game in the first round of playoffs, the other teams can put a check by their name and go to the next round.”

Point Hawks!!
Last week the Canyon Lake community lost another icon when Scott Watson passed away.
Remembering the first encounter with Scott, The ReSporter was then The Hilltop Reporter.
While working on the sports page, Scott, called and wanted to know why The Hilltop Reporter would put the word, Lady, to describe the Hawks when writing a Volleyball headline.
Scott, quite frankly wanted us to know that he would rather that phrase be done in another way.
That conversation was over five years ago and from that one encounter, The Hilltop Reporter had found a friend.
