A big win for Canyon Lake over Navarro helps give a focus to the Hawks needed finish this season strong.
Pitcher Alexis Robinson struck out 14 Panthers in this game and the Hawks will certainly trade a pitching game like this versus a great game from the plate.
The Hawks struck for two runs in that first inning and that would be all they would need as Robinson certainly had command of the strike zone.
Senior McKenna Beseda helped with a double and scored in that first inning along with Kelsey Ahrens for what would prove the be the winning run.
What this game said loud and clear was that this Hawk team does not have to be on fire from the offensive side of a game in order to get a win.
The Panthers Herzog was one of the players that was a thorn in the side of Canyon Lake’s road to a victory on this rain delayed game.
So with three batters that were silenced in this game in Robinson, Brianna Young, and Lilimae Daily this victory gives a important message that the Hawks don’t have to be on fire from every player to pull off a win.

District 27-3A has now been updated after last week’s track meet results.
Doug Hubnik taking Baton from Daniel Camarillo
The ReSporter had to wait a little longer since some athletes were competing at the Texas Relays.
One such student was Marisa Ellis competing in the Triple Jump. Ellis still had a better jump at the Hawk Relays and presently still has first place for district.
These events are the most comprehensive as all meets were recorded giving The ReSporter a chance to update to a closer idea of how the District 27-3A Track Meet might end up if held this week.
Most of the Schools has some minor meets this week as Canyon Lake will be going back to Blanco for a Tri-Meet this Thursday.
Canyon Lake will be hosting district again this season and that will be starting off a week from Wednesday.
If you study these times and want to have a good idea of how to see what might happen in a meet, then their are a couple of items you might want to look for as The ReSporter has been compiling these type news for three years.
**That date after the team is important as it indicates when that result was achieved. So, if you see that a long jumper had their best jump in February then it could mean that student might have peaked already, injuries, sickness, and you might see their name in other events and that was one that did not take priority.
So results that are more recent will tend to carry more wait.
**Many of these students have been entered into several events over the past few weeks as Coaches are searching for where their team might get more points for meets.

Canyon Lake lowered their 1600 Meter Relay by nine seconds at the Hawk Relays last week
Canyon Lake New and Improved 4x400 Meter Relay Team (Brookelynn Helmke, Hannah Graves, Amber Ramsey, and Mariah Ellis)
and with that time now have the best results in District 27-3A.
Not only the best time this year among fellow District Schools, but also their time of 4:10.53 was a new standard for future CL 1600 Relay teams.
The good news is that the Hawks have at least two more weeks to see how low they can go to set an all time standard.
Mariah Ellis, Hannah Graves, Brookelynn Helmke, and Amber Ramsey were in control of this relay from the beginning to end.
This is a good nucleus of students which has a lot of potential as this season now gets into a much more serious stage.

Another one of many personal bests happened at the Hawk Relays and there might be some disturbing
Senior Triple Jumper Branson Belcher
happenings that is causing many of these great finishes.
Senior Branson Belcher had a Canyon Lake Record Triple Jump at last Thursdays Meet.
Belcher soared over the 40 foot mark in the Triple Jump event and replaced Todd Pippin on that leader board.
Below was the Canyon Lake best Triple Jump finishes.
Name Distance Year Meet When Grade
Todd Pippin 38'9.25 2011 Blanco March 1 Graduated
Luke Curry 38'6 2012 Tiger March 29 Junior
Branson Belcher 38'4 2012 District April 11 Senior
Looking at the numbers you can see that Belcher passed his best by over 2 feet and now Pippin has to come back to school to have another chance to have his name on the board. Belcher’s jump was 40’11 distance.
“Yesterday I was helping out at the Junior High Track Meet and I saw Pippin on the leader board and that was the only thing that motivated me,” Belcher said with bravado.

Track & Field | Comments Off on Graduate Todd Pippin to Enroll Back into CLHS, After Belcher Breaks Triple Jump Record
Canyon Lake had some surprises at the Hawk Relays last week and one of the
1600 Meter Record Holder: Sophomore Mike Russell
biggest was Mike Russell running the 1600 Meter Run.
Russell ran on the Cross Country Team and has been a long distance runner for a while.
However, his best time was 5:19.00 two weeks ago in Wimberley which for a Sophomore is still a very good outing.
Enter a week at the beach and all of a sudden his time improves 18 seconds and with this run breaks the Canyon Lake record of 5:01.70 by 0.22 seconds.
Senior Chris Neiland ran that event last season in Dripping Springs almost exactly one year ago.
“I never thought I would break a record,” Russell said while recuperating after this grueling run. “It wasn’t even in my mind, but after I finished I knew that I might be close.”
Russell surprised several people familiar with who had done what in the mile run and this race was not looking like it would or could result in such a good finish.

The Canyon Lake Lady Hawks continue to impress this Track Season as they finished 5th with
Trena Lorett Jumping and Scoring for CL
their Varsity while the Junior Varsity finished in 3rd only behind Canyon and Hays.
First off the Hawks had Marisa Ellis match her high jump best, but she also had her best Triple Jump of the season going over that 37 foot barrier.
Canyon Lake might change their name to Canyon (we can Triple Jump over the) Lake High School soon.
Between the Varsity and JV teams Canyon Lake totaled 42 points in that one event. Another way to calculate this Feat is in traveling 203.11 Feet or over 2/3 of a football field.
Here are their Finish from Top to Bottom:
Marisa Ellis 37'3.75
Mariah Ellis 33'11.5
Trena Lorett 33'3.5
Bailey Drum 32'5
Halley McKnight 31'11
Sydney Reibschlager 31'9.75

Golf | Comments Off on Golf: CL Finish 6th in FHS Invitational
Canyon Lake did what needed to be done with a convincing win over Boerne, 11-0 last Thursday night
Head Coach John Gallagher
in Boerne.
Pitcher Alexis Robinson struck out the side the first two innings giving Boerne a statement that this game would not be theirs.
“After playing Wimberley we talked about how well we played except for one inning,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We took that intensity into the Boerne game and played a complete game.”
The Hawks needed this win after having some bad innings that would wreck a game in seconds.
“We came out confident and played as a team,” Coach Gallagher continued. “After scoring one in the first and two runs in the second, we felt we could dominate.”
Dominate is what CL did and that will help instill that confidence as they continue their road through District 27-3A cities.
Robinson has had some problems during a game with walks and that would not be an issue in this contest as she struck out 11 Greyhounds.
“She (Robinson) improved her walks total and gave up just one hit that went six feet down the third base line,” Coach said gladly. “Defensively we had only one throwing error and (McKenna) Beseda made a great over the shoulder catch going towards the fence.”

The Hawks drew blanks again against Fredericksburg as they lost the season series, 9-4.
Senior Travis Walker
Canyon Lake did take the lead with one run in the first two innings and also tied the score in the top of the fifth inning before those flood gates opened up with a Billie six run inning.
Nick Cahill led the offense with a double and two hits in the game.
Kyler Huff took the loss as CL’s pitching could not solve the strike zone by walking 10 batters in this contest.
Both teams finished with five hits but walks will kill you and now Canyon Lake needs to get back on track fast as they have little room for mistakes as the district games continue.
Canyon Lake will play Bandera next week in hopes that those Bulldogs will stay in the Bullpen and give the Hawks some momentum as the season heats up.

Canyon Lake Boys Track Team decided to have a coming out night as several Tracksters decided
Garhett Grundhi, Javier Mendez, Doug Hubnik, and Jordan Anderson ran the 4x400 Meter Relay Team finished 2nd at Hawk Relays
to entertain their home crowd with some personal bests.
Branson Belcher had a new CL Record in the Triple Jump as he finished 5th Place with a leap of 40’11. That jump now has him with the second best jump in District 27-3A schools.
Todd Pippin had the previous record in 2011 in Blanco when he soared 38’9.25 feet.
Christian Dittman was in our spotlight last week when he finished third in Wimberley. This week Dittman hit the Moon with a vault of 14’3 a mere 15 inches higher than his previous best of 13’6.
Dittman has already beat his previous best in Canyon Lake when he hit 13’0 last year.
Jordan Anderson also beat his best in the High Jump when he finished first at 6’6. That jump tied Chase Eddington who hit that same height in a 2010 Track Meet in Brady, Texas.
Thomas Gregory also had a personal best of 132’9 throw in the Discus beating his best from last year of 126’11 during the District Meet.
With injuries, sickness, and other sports taking some key athletes out of events this week, Canyon Lake had to switch several students to events that in many cases they have never competed in.
