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%.

Swimming | Comments Off on CL Swim Team Keeps Head above Water with Successful Year
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 Golf team finished 11th place out of 19 teams in the Matador Classic last Monday with a

368 score at the Starcke Park Golf Course.
Once again the CL Hawks played in a tournament of several 4A and 5A schools.
Sophomore Garrett Winters scored an 87 leading the team followed by Andrew Riali (90), Ralph Gonzales (95), Skyler Tschoepe (96), and JJ Hererra (100).
The scores are added for the top five on each team for that final score.
One key note is how well Weimer a class A school did in this tournament. Two teams and both were in the top six schools participating.

Golf | Comments Off on Golf: Hawks Finish 11th in Matador Tournament
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
3rd Points Scored 406
5th Made Free Throws 72
Other Hawk Players and Career Records:
1st Assists Doug Hubnik 151 season 187 career

4th 3pt Goals Paul Davis 34

Canyon Lake will now go to work on trying to climb back into their district race for next year as both the Freshman and Junior Varsity will have several players ready to step in for these departing Seniors.
Seniors playing last game:

In Softball everything starts in a Circle with a Diamond taking second fiddle.
A Smiling Freshman Pitcher Alexis Robinson
Yes, the diamond is still needed for this game but if you don’t have someone that you can count on in that Circle, then a diamond might not matter.
Canyon Lake has had a very good pitcher the past four years in Missy Romero and now that baton has been passed to a Freshman in Alexis Robinson.
Robinson is another one of those Freshman athletes that has come onto the scene this year and if this trend continues, Canyon Lake will be very competitive for many of their sports.
The Freshman Basketball team finished 18-4 and in Volleyball, CL had four Freshman that moved up to Junior Varsity and Varsity this year and still had a very competitive team on the court as a Freshman team.
Now it is Softball’s turn to have the honors. Robinson will go into the circle and try to continue a Hawk team that missed the playoffs by just one game last year.
“I am just going to play my game,” Robinson started. “I just want to enjoy my four years of softball and play as hard as I can.”
Robinson also talked about who she has taken that baton from and had nothing but great things to say about her friend and teammate (in Select Softball) Romero.

Hawk JV Baseball team won their scrimmage game against Burnet Tuesday at the Hawk Diamond.
The Hawk's JV team improves their game in win over Burnet
This game started during the daylight which was the phrase used by Coach Brian Owens when comparing their game with Seguin last week.
“Night and day from last week,” Coach Owens commented when asked the difference in their last two contests. “We have been working on focusing in the game and talked about the mental side of the game.”
The Hawks won this 11 inning affair 10-8 as CL held Burnet to only one run in their last eight innings.
A slow start as the Hawks found themselves down 7-4 after three innings and then 8-4 after the sixth.
That would be the Bulldogs last run of this game as Headrick, Kissell, Volz, and McCleary closed the door on Burnet for the rest of this outing.
Ten strikeouts and four walks was a winning formula along with a much sharper defensive game as this contest matured.
“We had a good game but we started slow,” Jordan Weber started. “We made our way to the top and were more consistent and we had our plays down. We also communicated more as a team.”
Yes, this was just a scrimmage, but Canyon Lake’s JV team had a lot of good pitchers take the mound and sound defense and timely hitting.
Wait, that is what suppose to happen in baseball when you want to be successful.
Just two errors and cutting down on walks was a whole different team playing from last week’s game.
This team will be fun to watch this year, in fact, you will have another chance this Friday, when Canyon Lake plays Llano in a makeup game cancelled last week.
Come on out for the Day game and hopefully the Night game will have bright lights on for another win.

Canyon Lake’ s Lady Hawks will invoke on their District Season that gives them a chance for making the playoffs.
With a district that has five teams and having four teams that can qualify for a longer season (playoffs), then you can conclude that there will be only one team that is out of that realm of going farther.
Looking at pre district games you have three teams that will be fighting for those two spots.
Dripping Springs and Schertz Clemens will be on top of the food chain and Canyon Lake will be fighting it out with Seguin and Wimberley.
All three teams (CL, Wimberley, and Seguin) played one common opponent this pre-season.
Floresville had this privilege of playing all three teams so you can have a small glimpse of each teams strength.
Canyon Lake was the one team that beat Floresville while Wimberley and Seguin were both shut out by the Jaguars.
Next, you need to see when these games were played to help in deciphering how district games might play out.
Floresville beat Seguin just last week, 4-0 in Matador stadium. So a home game loss for Seguin and also a recent game is a good barometer on how this team might play when they are on the field against your Hawks.

The ReSporter: You have been playing some teams that are two classes larger than CL. What are you wanting the girls to take from games like this as you prepare for District?
Coach McWhorter: “Our preseason schedule has no doubt been rigorous and jam-packed. As we prepare for district and play these games, I think that the team should get a better understanding of what we are going to be up against. Although our district has changed since last year, we are going to be up against some competitive teams who come from larger school districts. We need to get a feel of what teams like that are like in the preseason.”
The ReSporter: How many teams in district will qualify for the Playoffs?
Coach McWhorter: “The top four teams in our district will qualify for playoffs this year.”

Fredericksburg has taken their 3A status to heart as they will shoot and make 3pointers at will to bury a team.
Canyon Lake was in this game and made several runs at this Billie team but there was always an answer in the form of a three pointer and 99% of the time that shot would find the bottom of the net.
The Hawks did shoot in the 30% range throughout this contest which did not help when your opponent is shooting over 50% from that 3 point circle.
CL has one consolation in that Fredericksburg is not a 4A school giving them another point to add onto their scoring.
This was the last night for several Seniors that was in their last home game.
Chandler Faulkner is one of those players that gives several intangibles for the Hawks that won’t always show up in a stat line.
Coach Lucas Chapman has used Faulkner as his go to guy when needing to a shut down defensive Read the rest here »
