Canyon Lake (5-2) split their two games to open the Comal Tournament yesterday at Hawk Diamond.

Center Fielder Daniel Camarillo
Once again this Hawk team is starting to show that depth might be able to give CL a chance for each game they play.
Logan Felch is the ace of this bullpen and will only see a couple of innings due to a start against Fredericksburg next Tuesday night to open District 27-3A play.
Usually that would mean a drop off for other games due to depth problems on the mound.
Ryan Hutcheson took his first loss with giving up two runs and two hits to Lehman in the first game.
“We had costly error and stranded some runners,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “Did not play badly but we just could not seem to get that timely hit.”
Canyon Lake had three hits but the most glaring number in this loss were those three errors.
It was a different story in CL’s game with El Paso Parkland as they scored in every inning but one and amassed 12 hits in this win.
Take the more important number and you will really make sense with this victory, one error.
Senior Travis Walker pitched a gem in this contest as he scattered six hits while giving up only three runs.
Meanwhile in the other dugout Canyon Lake found their real bats and had several extra base hits to bury the EP Matadors.
“We played really well in this game,” Coach Dunavant commented.

CL Hawks Boys Soccer team has been sent home after their last game in Wimberley last Tuesday after fighting but coming up short in the 2-0 loss.
“I thought we played well,” Head Coach Miguel Albrecht said. “We had a couple of chances but could not finish them, we made two mistakes on defense and they scored.”
Canyon Lake will now have a chance to see if home cooking might be the answer to turning around this season.
“Our next four games will be at home and we are looking forward to playing at home again,” Coach Albrecht finished.
Canyon Lake played all of their first round of District games on the road and now have a chance of turning around this season playing at home for the next month.
Good Luck and let your Mom make you some great meals to help in getting us some wins.

Senior Jordan Anderson is Ready to Jump into Track Season
Track Season will open today in Blanco Stadium at 3:30pm.
Canyon Lake has been more consistent and competitive in Track than any other sport.
The Hawks have finished 2nd in District Meet the last two seasons and will be wanting to continue that trend as this season gets into the starting blocks.
Track season cannot be mentioned without mentioning Senior Jordan Anderson who can many times be worth 40-50 points per meet.
This young man scored 48 points in last year’s District Track Meet and will look to continue to be that athlete trying to best previous marks.
To put this in a different motif, Anderson scored 48 points and Bandera had 42 in last year’s District 27-3A Track Meet.

Canyon Lake has a four game winning streak after an ugly win over Lago Vista

Catcher Michael Brady
Vikings after their 1-day delayed affair at the Hawk Diamond.
The game that was scheduled for Monday night was postponed by wind and CL continued this season by settling in on a four game win streak which has not happened since, since, well it has never happened.
This is now the longest streak of this sort since two three game winning streaks during their 2010 season. A season that was climaxed with a trip to Harlingen and one batter short of a third round opponent.
“We need to work on our mental toughness and we’ve got to focus,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. ”
The Vikings opened up their first inning with a towering home run by Mason Ornales who would also finish off this game with another shot over that same left field fence in the seventh inning.
Both home runs were solo shots, but good hits all the same.
The Hawks responded in their bottom of the first when lead off hitter Garrett Winters walked and eventually scored when Logan Felch knocked him in two batters later.
Travis Walker reached base on an error and then with two runner on Michael Brady broke out of a mini slump with a double scoring both runners. Brady would end with two hits.
Hitting machine, Kyler Huff then did likewise with a double scoring the fourth run knocking in Brady.
Huff has been on a tear this season from the plate and does not seem to be letting up.

Thanks to Head Coach Greg Norris for story:
The Canyon Lake boys golf team battled the winds and tough golf course at Vaaler Creek in Blanco on Tuesday to shoot 382 placing 4th in the 18 team event.
With winds gusting over 50 miles an hour at times it made the conditions exceptionally brutal.
New Braunfels Canyon placed first at 370, Wimberley shot a 372 and New Braunfels was third with 379.
On a day where pars were very few and far between the day was one of survival.
One of those players that survived these conditions was the Hawk’s Sophomore Garrett Winters who shot 84 which put him on the leaderboard in 2nd place. Marion’s Robert Giesecke shot 83 to lead the field.
Winters scorecard included 1 birdie and 7 pars over the par 72 layout.
JJ Herrera finished with a 95, which included a birdie on number 1 and 2 pars. Senior Ralph Gonzales shot 96 which included one par. Andrew Riali rounded out the scoring for the Hawks with a 106.
Skyler Tschoepe had to withdraw after 10 holes after sensing pain in the shoulder.
The Hawks will return to action next Wednesday when they will travel to Quicksand GC in Wimberley.

Bracken Christian has four players named to the 2012-13 Academic All-State 6

Senior Eli Achilles posed with Junior Davis Scott before start of season.
Man Football list.
Three Juniors and one Senior made the list and deserve just as much accolades for this nugget than yardage gained or tackled.
Eli Achilles was the lone Senior making this list after excelling on the athletic and books side just as well. Achilles’ will walk across a stage later this year and so now you need to work on your books just like you do in sports.
You can’t miss in this world with that combination. Congratulations.
Davis Scott, Preston Koch, and Sam Hilgendorf also made this prestigious list and will return for another year.
Davis Scott played several positions and even changed his main position during last year’s campaign. That alone tells you how this young man made this honor.

Junior Sam Hilgendorf giving the thumbs up
Preston Koch is a methodical player that gets things done on the gridiron and you can get that same idea, that he takes his school work in like manner.
Sam Hilgendorf is growing in stature physically as well as through his studies and you too are a student that will do well by staying on this same course.
Congrats to all four athletes, this was your biggest highlight of this season.

Senior Travis Walker
Canyon Lake has now reached last year’s win total as the Hawks took care of the little things to win big over Austin Lanier Vikings, 7-3.
“Glad we got to three wins,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant dead panned. “Let’s don’t shut down main street for a parade just yet.”
Baseball is won more by doing little things within a game and when a team is successful in that execution, then a win will usually be a result.
“If you don’t hit the ball then your opponent can’t have fielding errors,” Coach Dunavant said eloquently. “We need to get on a roll to get things right and just win.”
Little things like hitting a ball and giving yourself a chance to have your opponent make a mistake. Lanier finished with seven errors in this game.
The Lanier Vikings did have some fielding problems and CL did what good teams are suppose to do when given gifts.
Open them!!
