Canyon Lake answered the bell by cutting into that lead seven points after that third quarter, 33-25 deficit.

CL Boy’s Basketball cut it close in their loss to Wimberley last night, needing only one three point basket to win the game.
The Hawks stumbled in that second quarter spelling their doom as that helped the Texans to get all the breathing room needed to hold off this Hawk team.
Garrett Winters and Trendon Martinez both finished in double figures in this game with 20 and 10 points respectfully.
“Overall, it was the best we have looked since district has started,” Coach Brian Hooper said. “The guys played as a team and battled hard all game.”
Coach Hooper assessed the game, “A few too many turnovers that led to points and the lack of offense in that second quarter was the difference in this game.”

Hawks struggle in the 1st and 3rd quarters and lost their composure against the press as Wimberley had their way on this night.
“Zach Gregory and Robert Woods played well down low,” Coach John Barthels said. “At times when we pushed the ball and looked up court we had good looks for open shots.”
Now as the learning process continues through the season this group of freshman will continue to finish this season strong.

Canyon Lake did not have a good day in competition on Tuesday night as the Hawks drew a blank in their games against Wimberley in girls and boys play.
CL Hawk girls basketball started their game scoring just one point in their first quarter and that start would be to hard to overcome in their loss, 44-30.
Katie Williams scored eight points to lead CL and also pulled down 10 rebounds, she was followed by Hannah St. John with six points.
Poor shooting continues to haunt Canyon Lake as they shot 22% from the field.
———————————————————————————
CL Boy’s basketball also could not keep up with Wimberley as the Texans increased their lead in that decisive fourth quarter for a victory over a ‘Backs to the Wall’ Hawk team.
Canyon Lake will now have to win out to have a legitimate chance for making the playoffs this season losing, 73-53.
Wimberley outscored CL 23-8 in that final stanza sealing this loss.
Coaches Corner with Soccer Coach, Katie McWhorter.
The ReSporter: Canyon Lake did not lose a lot of Seniors, how young is your team and who will be some athletes you hope to carry your squad?
Coach McWhorter: “Although we didn’t lose many seniors last year, we only have two this year, so our team is a very young team. We are working hard at becoming a more aggressive and explosive team in the hopes that we will be one of the top contenders in our district for playoffs.”
The ReSporter: You have another year of facing schools that are much larger than the Hawks, how will that translate with how the team will approach this season?
Coach McWhorter: “While we are facing schools that are much larger than us, our team has a lot of skill and fight in them. We participated in three tournaments preseason, and most of the teams we played were from much larger schools with excellent soccer teams – some of them were even 5A schools. We held our own and did a really good job in our play.”

The ReSporter: You seemed really excited after the end of last season having several athletes with another year of experience. Is that still a sense of expectations as you prepare for this Track Season?
Coach Lambert: “Yes it is. We had a very strong young team last year and we are looking forward to having them back this season. We have some upper classman that are showing great enthusiasm for this season and are lookig to spread that enthusiasm with the entire team once we have everyone there together.”
The ReSporter: You have had two girls advance to State in each of the last two seasons. How does that help in motivation for this year’s squad, especially since Marisa is returning this season?
Coach Lambert: “It really shows the other girls how hard you have to work to make it to the state meet, but it also shows them that they too have a chance to make it to state so they are willing to put the work in to be the best.”
The ReSporter: You have some speed with several Ninth graders last season that finished second in District in the 4×100 and 4×200. How many of these athletes will make a jump to Varsity?

It was a bad news/good news story on Friday night for Canyon Lake’s Freshman team in their game with Bandera.
Bad News: The Hawks came out and needed some plumbing done on their side of the basket when they shot just 14 percent from the field in that first quarter.
Good News: Lucky for Canyon Lake, Gordon The Plumber was watching his son at his baseball practice on campus. During the First Quarter Break, Gordon was able to clear the basket and make it larger than the ball, giving CL a better chance for producing points.
More Good News: After that dismal start, your Hawks had the lead by five points, 10-5. Thanks to some good free throw shooting from Brandon Ward.
More and More Good News: For the remainder of this contest, the Hawks shot a salty 55 percent and were never threatened by this Bulldog club.
Just put Good News in front of each of these next points and you will have an idea of how dominating Canyon Lake was in training a Bulldog.
Next on the docket, your Hawks took the Bull from the dogs and applied it to Robert ‘Bull’ Woods as he proceeded to shoot lights out in this battle.
During the first quarter Woods did not have one shot. All of his shots were recorded in those last three stanzas.
‘Bull’ Woods was 11 for 14 from the field as he took over the lane and had his way with whatever puppy dog came into his kennel.
“We knew Bandera would be playing a 1/3/1 defense and so we were just going to feed the big guys,” Head Coach John Barthels said. “It was a good thing we got our bad quarter out of the way.”

Canyon Lake lost a heartbreaker game in overtime to Bandera Bulldogs Friday night at the Hawk gym, 50-58.
Sharp Shooter Andrew Riali
“We battled our tails off,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “To be down 15 points and believe we could get it done and get back in it was a great testament to this team.”
The Hawks had 25 turnovers in their last game in Fredericksburg and were on a mission to not let that happen again.
“We started taking care of the ball and our goal was to have 12 or less turnovers in this game,” Andrew “Dead Eye” Riali exclaimed.
Mission accomplished as CL finished with nine miscues in four quarters plus an overtime.
That was a key element as Canyon Lake started their comeback in the second half erasing a 15 point deficit in those last two quarters.
A 34 to 19 advantage in the second half with clutch shooting and lock down defense was a great combination for Canyon Lake as the home crowd helped pump adrenaline into this comeback.

The Freshman Lady Hawks fought a tough game with Fredericksburg, but could not get that last basket for a win, 50-47.
“We came out slow and it all was very mental,” Coach Shannon Hoberer said. “Our focus was not great, but after halftime they calmed down and started to execute.”
Several players had key baskets and free throws down the stretch in staging an eight point comeback in that fourth quarter that helped delay the Varsity game due to only having three refs for this evening.
This Freshman game was called by one referee for almost the entire affair with reinforcements arriving with under two minutes in that critical fourth stanza.
Canyon Lake found themselves down nine and eight points in the second half before their last push that barely missed a perfect comeback.
In their earlier game, Fredericksburg blew out CL but that game was not as bad as those results garnered. The Billies had borrowed some JV players for the game when several players were sick for that game.
