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

Senior night for Canyon Lake Girls Basketball said good-night to several players in their loss to Navarro, 42-25.
Freshman Sarah Russell will come out guns blazing for next Basketball season
Amber Ramsey finished in double figure rebounds with 12 while also finishing up her career with two more blocks as she added a number that might be passed any time soon.
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.

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.

Bracken Christian Warriors have all their ducks in a row as TAPPS has realigned BCS into a 
new district and this year’s schedule has been set.
“Four of the top six teams will be coming from our district,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “OLH has everyone coming back and Castle Hills was the Division II State Champ last season.”
Bracken has been playing these past few years with 12-14 players on the sideline when other same division schools might have over 20 suited up and not playing.
Those type of numbers in 6-Man will always give the advantage to the larger school.

Peyton Sipila returning to improve on last year’s season.
Hawk Baseball officially started their season with a scrimmage with Llano last Tuesday night at the Canyon Lake Diamond.
This will be a year where Head Coach Trent Dunavant will need to use a calculator in counting the number of players in his dugout.
“I don’t know….35?,” Coach Dunavant stated when asked how many players he had practicing and wanting to play this year. “We will carry around 14-15 for Varsity and over 20 for Junior Varsity.”
Coach Dunavant had a long pause when asked that question of players wanting to play, as in the past few years, those questions could easily been answered by looking at both hands and counting fingers.
Last year, Canyon Lake started a wave of players that started to influx this sport and the Hawks still had several players that had Sophomore besides their name giving you a hint of age.
Now those Sophomores will be classified as Juniors and that might hopefully translate into victories for a program that had not made the playoffs in three years.
“We will have competition on this team and that will be something that should make them better,” Coach Dunavant fielded. “We have more optimism than in the past and we will have multiple guys playing multiple positions.”
The Hawks seemed to be strong in the infield and will have more qualified players for those spots this season.
“We have infielders that will be able to compete for outfield positions if they can’t win their spot in the infield,” Dunavant said without error. “This was our first scrimmage and we had some things good and bad. We found things that need working on, and things that the kids retained from last year.”
“We did ok playing defense but bats are slower than pitching at this time of year and pitchers are mainly throwing fast balls.”
Catcher will be a position to keep an eye on as the Hawks lost a big bat and fielder when Michael Brady got his diploma last May.
“We had Kyle Krohn play a nice game yesterday and he will be fighting this position out with Bryce Dehlin and Colton Avey,” Coach Dunavant commented. “Peyton Sipala will be able to play anywhere, left field, first base, short stop…”
The pitching will have several players ready for their chance to make things happen….if you take one thing from Coach Dunavant on pitching, it is throw strikes.
“We walked way to many players last night,” Dunavant said. “If you throw strikes in high school, then nine times out of ten the batter will find a way to get out.”
“Throwing harder does not mean you can pitch, sometimes throwing an 85 mile per hour pitch down the middle will not do as well as a pitcher that throws a 75 mph pitch on the corner,” Dunavant reiterated.
When asked about what they would be looking for in finding a closer for this club, Coach Dunavant did not hesitate, “A closer is not afraid of failure and it is how they approach their game mentally and having pin point control. If they (pitchers) can’t throw strikes then they won’t be out there.”
“I want to be around four to five pitchers when district rolls around,” Coach Dunavant closed. “We have more athletic kids than positions this year.”
Canyon Lake will be wearing their coats this Friday as the weather could be frigid if Seguin does not help in changing the game to Saturday.
If that happens, then CL will be playing in Seguin rather than at Canyon Lake.
The ReSporter knows that Seguin is warmer than CL since it is so much further South.
Should be a good season…hopefully the season will end later in the year when temperatures get much warmer…thanks Coach and good luck.
With the storm of waiting for Re-Alignment comes lightning for coaches as they have to be
ahead of the game in putting their schedule together.
Many times a non-district game can become a district game based on what the UIL in moving schools to different locations and partners.
Head Coach Charlie Drum has been burning the midnight oil since Sunday as he waited for the curtain to fall and find out who his new friends will be.
“Our degree of difficulty did not change much,” Coach Drum said when assessing new and departing teams in District 14-AAAA. “We traded two playoff teams for two playoff teams so our district did not change much.”
Wimberley and Navarro was lost while Liberty Hill and Taylor were added from their district to the north.
