Super Fan Mr. Bill Phillips can be seen at almost all of Canyon Lake’s venues
Bill Phillips enjoying a Baseball game in the warmth of a Press Box
cheering on young athletes in many fields.
You have seen him, he has that special place in the Hawk Gymnasium, up behind the student section, or walking up to a press box during a football game, or how about seeing Phillips hanging out at countless Baseball and Little League games.
“I played Junior High Softball because there was no baseball at my school,” Mr. Bill started. “With both of my brothers, we played every sport.”
So going back to Junior High days the seed had been planted and now you have ‘Super Fan’ still showing his support for athletes in the Canyon Lake community.
Just sitting by Bill and watching a game will give you wisdom as you listen to all of his recollections of games from the past.
Not to mention his countless one liners that are lined up inside his mind like every Baseball Coach would be preparing a line-up card.
Coaches know him as ‘Bill’ and seeing him at all of their games does not go unnoticed.
“My Dad played semi-pro baseball back in 1938 when we moved down to Houston,” Mr. Bill continued. “I have been around the kids watching them play and grow with all of their skills and attitudes.”

A few weeks ago Canyon Lake reached another milestone when their Cheerleading squad came home with a National Championship in competition held at the Dallas Convention Center.
The CLHS Cheer Comp Squad compteted in the National Cheerleaders Association Senior and Junior High Nationals in Dallas, Texas.
“This was the third time that the Comp squad had traveled to Dallas to compete,” Coach Nikki Duggan said excitedly. “We WON the small Novice High School Division beating out 24 other teams from around the nation.”

Canyon Lake Softball team won their first game in the Navarro tournament on Thursday with a No-No, when Alexis Robinson pitched to start her promising career.
A Freshman that can pitch a no-hitter in her first game speaks well for Coach John Gallagher’s sleeping for the next four years.
The game was won 9-0 over Stockdale while CL also showed that they might have some pop in their bats.
Missy Romero started her Sophomore campaign with a Perfect Game on February 18, 2010, over Vandergrift, 5-0. Now, the baton has been passed as Robinson begins this season in like manner.
Last night the Lady Hawks beat Marion 13-7 after being up 10-0 going into the later innings.
More information will be forthcoming as Canyon Lake continues their week-end with two games today at Huber Ranch in the last day of Navarro’s Tournament.
Games today will be played at 12:15 and possibly 3:50 Saturday afternoon.

Sport News | Comments Off on Softball: Hawks start season with 2-2 Record
Canyon Lake JV dominates Llano in their last scrimmage before the season starts next week.
Catcher Bryce Dehlin showed that all Catchers aren't slow after hitting a triple.
Llano only had three pitchers for this scrimmage and that left Canyon Lake taking the field for an extra two frames just so Coach Brian Owens could get enough work from his six pitchers.
What Coach Owens saw was another dominating performance from several of his players on the mound as strikes and defense kept Llano without a run until their last at bat.
Look at these numbers from four Hawk pitchers:
name ip r er h bb so balls/strikes
Headrick 2 0 0 0 0 3 9/18
McCleary 2 0 0 3 1 3 11/23
Volz 1 0 0 0 1 1 5/11
Kissell 2 0 0 0 3 3 21/16
As the night progressed so did the wind and temperature as the last inning was a numbing affair.

The Canyon Lake JV ended their season in Bandera after suffering an anemic fourth quarter losing, 51-39.
That 12 point difference was much closer as the game was still within reach as Bandera started the last quarter up by two points, 34-32.
“We were able to keep it close for three quarters,” Coach Brian Hooper stated. “The biggest reason why the game got out of hand in the fourth, was in giving up to many rebounds.”
“Three possessions in a row Bandera had multiple shots on offense that led to easy buckets, and we couldn’t respond,” Coach Hooper closed. “Bandera had a big physical line up that wore us down in the fourth.”
Garrett Winters led all Hawk scorers with 12 points and Sean Nolan missed double digits with nine.

Canyon Lake started off slow, but great defense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters along with a strategic well played 4th quarter of scoring helped the CLHS Freshmen have a come from behind victory last night in Bandera, 45-43.
Trailing the entire game and down by seven early in the 4th, the Hawks mounted their comeback.
Scoring a quick four points off of steals by Hayden Lee and Joe Arredondo who found Brandon Ward streaking down the court for two uncontested lay-ups and a crucial 3 pointer by Justin Ferris, his only points of the game, tied it at
41.
The lead never belonged to the Hawks until their was 5.2 seconds left and Hayden Lee drew the defense into him and made a great pass to a streaking Mason Montgomery for a lay-up and the game winner.
With a turn over on the inbounds play the Hawks were able to get the ball back into Hayden Lee who was fouled for a 1 and 1. Missing the freethrow and placing everyone back to play defense had the Bandera Bulldogs driving down to the opposite end of the court forcing a three point shot over the back board sealing the victory for the Hawks.
Nine of the 12 Hawks that were dressed scored points, but even those that did
not score made great passes down low to the posts who were able to put up
25 points in the paint.
Big rebounds by Dalton Head, Hayden Lee, and Robert Woods will be a stat that gets over looked, but they all played a crucial role in sealing a victory and getting chances for the Hawks to set up the offense.
Canyon Lake finished the season 9-14 and 2-8 in district play,”We
played in several close games this year that we were not able to come out on
top in, this victory was a great way to end the season, I am proud of our
team for all of the hard work they put in this season,” Coach John Batthels closed.

It’s hard to believe that the 2012-13 Swimming season is coming to an end. It has been a great year for Canyon Lake with plenty to be proud of. A few of the highlights include:
– School records were broken over 30 times this season with at least 8 being set at the Region VII 4A Championships.
– The boys placed 3rd at District and 11th at Regionals and the Girls placed 6th in District and 16th in Regionals. All of these were the highest the team has ever finished in each category.
– The boys won the Burnet TISCA 4A & Under Team Championship in December. The first time any CLHS Swim Team had won an invitational meet.
– Over the course of the season we faced no less than 75 different teams (3A, 4A, 5A and private schools) with the boys teams defeating over 82% of them and the girls over 65%.

Watching Baseball through new Screen.
The Hawk Varsity Baseball team had a satisfactory scrimmage at Burnet last Tuesday night.
Yes, this was a scrimmage meaning that you don’t have a winner or losing team, but after having two years where everything that could go wrong going wrong, then The ReSporter will give your Hawks the win last evening.
“The game went good last night,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “We would’ve won if this would not had been a scrimmage.”
Canyon Lake had two glaring problems in the past two campaigns: Pitching and fielding would be those nagging weights that bogged down this team in the past.

Canyon Lake could not even scare the basket in the first quarter as both teams combined for eight points, as the Hawks ended another season on a down note, losing 40-31 to Bandera.
Falling in love with the three point shot did not help matters as CL shot a dismal 12% from beyond the arc and those outside shots also resulted in only four free throws in this game.
Caleb Kreiger finished his season with 15 points and 9 rebounds on top of many records for his career played in just one season.
Kreiger Finishes:
1st Rebounds 218
1st Blocks 59
