Junior Skyler Tschoepe readies for a 3 pointer
Canyon Lake’s first quarter started so bad that the score was Skyler Tschoepe 10 and Wimberley 27 in the second quarter.
In fact the first Hawk not named Tschoepe to score was Isaac Mendez with a little less than four minutes left in the first half.
Tschoepe finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds in a game that was hard to find a positive vibe.
Canyon Lake had 19 points in the first half which also matched the number of turnovers for a Hawk team that found it hard to beat a press put on by the Texans.
The Hawks would pull within 11 points with an 8 point run to start the second half, but after Luke Curry scored five points in a 10 second period out spurt the Basketball gods decided to let this hot Hawk to go down with an ankle injury.

The ReSporter: Your thoughts on this team before the season and now…what is something
Tyler Clark drives for the basket as Andrew Riali looks on
you have seen that you did not expect?
Coach Chapman: “I think we are finally shaping up to be the team I expected in the pre-season. We are getting up and down the court a lot more and using our athleticism to our advantage. We are steadily improving and for the first time maybe in the history of our program we are playing our best going into district. I don’t know if things are happening that I didn’t expect, I am just glad that we are starting to play like I expected.”
The ReSporter: What has happened that you thought would be better?
Coach Chapman: “I thought we would be better with our man defense, which has been our calling card the past few seasons. Fortunately, we have found an alternative (our zone) that has worked really well for us and has allowed us to play more of the style that we would like to play. Now that I have really looked at it and studied it, our personnel is better suited for a zone defense because it allows us to scramble around and get more steals and deflections. We will still play man defense, but the zone has really saved us this year.”

Canyon Lake solved their starting slow mantra when they accumulated 23 points in the first quarter against Gonzales and coasted to their final non-district win, 52-39 last Tuesday night at the Hawk Gym.
“We finally came out from the start at home and made a statement,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “I feel a lot better now than I did two weeks ago and we have come a long way…we are ready to play.”

The Hawk Freshmen basketball team came out fast this week as they were able to jump on the Apaches early.
It was a slow start for both teams until the Hawks applied pressure a few minutes into the game.
A few steals and quick passes later the Hawks were up for good in the game.
A 23-4 Halftime lead and hot shooting for the Apaches made this one a little more interesting than it seemed in the second half. The Apaches were able to rally to within 9 points until the Hawks applied pressure again.
“We put in a new press this week that is more of a risk reward press, tonight it just happened to be rewarded as they were only able to break it once.” Coach Barthels stated. “We had Wilkins get banged up a little on the first possession of the game, but Preiss stepped in and did a great job at the point guard tonight.”
The Hawks will need everyone to step up this week as Canyon Lake begins district play against a very tough district from here on out.
“All of the freshmen groups this year are tough in district.” Coach Barthels finished. “We are going to have to play our best basketball and be aggressive if we are going to beat the district teams this year.”

The players in kelly green are the current players and in each category there will be players that have ranked in the top 5 or more levels.
So, seeing a current player ranked sixth might not mean they are the sixth best ever with that stat.
You will be able to tell by looking at the official number of points (or whatever the stat is) that this player has many more points needed to enter into the higher stratosphere.

Canyon Lake finished 0fer in their last two games of the Blanco Holiday Hoopfest Tournament on
Sophomore Haden Lee is looking to improve as District 27-3A nears
Saturday.
The Hawks lost their first game, 61-44 to Port Aransas and then finished with a hard fought loss to Llano, 56-46 in the night cap.
CL had a problem getting out of the gate in both affairs after accounting for only 7 points in each game.
However the second quarter was a team that played with rhythm as in each case the Hawks held their own or was able to chip away at the deficit.
Andrew Riali took top honors again in being the Hawk’s best scorer with a 14 and 11 point games.

The Hawks started District 27-3A on Friday night with a rude awakening as Fredericksburg put a lid on the Hawks basket winning, 44-20.
There was good news and bad news as this game finished the first quarter.
Good News? Canyon Lake shot 100% from the field.
Bad News? The Hawks shot had 2 shots and 11 turnovers which gives you a hint why only two shots were recorded.
Canyon Lake with all of their bad vibes for this game found themselves down, 17-11 with five minutes remaining in the third quarter.
“We had a good defensive effort,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher exclaimed. “It took us a while but we finally ran a good fast break off of their press.”
Sophomore Sarah Schneider came off the bench and finished with 6 points to lead the Hawks.
Amber Ramsey also had a good stat line with 2 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocked shots, while pulling down 9 rebounds.
Points were hard to come by as Canyon Lake turned the ball over 29 times which would be 29 times the Hawks did not have a chance to score.
The Hawks will now go on the road for a game with Bandera on Tuesday in what will be an early must win for this young club.

The Hawks Junior Varsity played just three quarters in loss to the Billies JV team in a 39-22 loss.
Kirsten Jones working on Basketball skills as season progresses
Another game where the Hawks found themselves down, 28-21 going into the fourth quarter and then had a hard time getting points to carry the game out to the finish.
One point in the quarter on a Keirsten Jones free throw would be the only point for Canyon Lake which would be way too little to keep the game competitive.
“We need to keep running our plays correctly,” Jones said. “Talking on the court will let us know what is going on.”
Canyon Lake had not been pressed that many times this season and Fredericksburg was running the press non-stop in this game. Hence the 31 turnovers.
“Just recently we have been getting pressed more,” Jones pressed an answer. “We need to do a better job of setting up our offense as fast as possible.”
On what she hopes this Hawk team can improve upon, Jones offered, “We all hope to make our shots and work on breaking the press especially in District.”
Sydney Johnson did finish the game with 9 points and was high point for Canyon Lake.
Canyon Lake will travel to Bandera next Tuesday and will see if their game is improving.
Good Luck….
