Canyon Lake Freshman suffered a subpar second quarter that was too much to rekindle in their loss to Fredericksburg, 59-45.
A three for fourteen from the field in that quarter was enough to bury the Hawks while Fredericksburg buried three pointer after three pointer.
Both teams were evenly matched for the other three quarters as Robert Woods once again had a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Hayden Lee also had some very nice drives to the basket in helping to keep the Hawks close to their visitors.
Free throws were not free for CL as a 4-13 tally would indicate. Oh yeah, Fredericksburg does use that word ‘Free’ for their Throws.
“I am very proud of the way we played tonight,” Coach John Barthels opened. “This was the first game in a long time that we kept our composure against a press and we up tempo defensively.”
Canyon Lake did have some spurts getting Fredericksburg’s lead back into single digits.
“The score might not reflect good defense, but were where we needed to be initially and force them to be out of rhythm, unfortunately one of the two areas we did not do well was rebounding,” Coach Barthels finished. “We did get 29 points from our big men tonight and I am really looking forward to seeing this group develop next year.”

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity scored eight points in the last 40 seconds to overcome a seven point deficit, beating Fredericksburg last Friday night.
Fredericksburg had a lead or was tied for 31:58.7 of this game and Canyon Lake took over for :01.3 and that lead is still there at this writing.
Having trouble in the first half in getting the ball down the court was the culprit in playing catch up for this game.
The Billies press was not giving the Hawks any chances for shots and proving that Fredericksburg’s 47 point win last go around would be more of the same.
Canyon Lake Junior Varsity had other plans however as they started inching back into this game after intermission.
“The first half we were not attacking Fredericksburg’s press and allowing them to trap us,” Coach Brian Hooper said with his lost voice. “We talked about getting the ball and taking it up the court instead of sitting back and allowing them to trap us.”
“We started dribbling through the press and that was allowing us to get some calls.”
Sean Nolan made his presence known again with just one missed shot in this contest and that miss was retrieved by Nolan with a put back.

Canyon Lake Baseball is rounding third as this season gets closer and closer to home base.
Senior Kyler Huff
The Hawks had a forgettable season in 2012, but forgetting last year could be a mistake for this CL team that finally has more than one senior playing.
Those hard knocks put on Canyon Lake are learning tools that might give this year’s team the drive needed to compete and win.
Starting with that 3-22 record, most of that roster was from a Freshman and Sophomore laden class that was playing district foes that were way out of their league.
Bandera was starting all Seniors but one player last season and that is just a sampling of what other teams had on their roster.
There is a band of Seniors that want nothing more than to end this season with some proverbial skins on the wall. That goal can be reached much like three years ago when Canyon Lake’s baseball team not only made the playoffs, but was the first team for Canyon Lake to win in their first round in postseason play.
There has been a report that Head Coach Trent Dunavant might have been smiling while prepping this team for the start of this season.
Get ready, because these next numbers will wipe that smile off your face and replace it with a frown.
Numbers
3 Wins last season
.227 Team batting average
90 Runs scored
198 Runs given up on defense

Wesley Dicks has gone where no Hawk Football player has gone in the short
Senior Wes Dicks signs on dotted line being flanked by Mom and Dad
history of Canyon Lake sports.
Mr. Dicks was recruited by a school for a full scholarship on National Signing Day for College Football.
This 6’3 290lb man has made his living serving Pancakes Blocks for three years on opposition players attempting to tackle a Hawk player.
A lot of hard work and drive has finally paid off as Wes was flanked by his Mom and Dad in CL’s gym on Wednesday morning having this opportunity to continue his education with the signing of his letter of intent to play for Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
“It has been a blessing, honor, and privilege to be a part of Wes’ football career and in helping in his development,” Offensive Line Coach Chuck Wallen said. “He will make the Coaches from Northwestern Oklahoma real happy they picked him.”
Head Football Coach Charlie Drum started the ceremonies praising Wes by bringing up something much more important than an oblong ball, when he commented on how well Dicks had also performed in the class room.
“I’m excited,” Wesley Dicks sighed. “I finally get to think about College and where I’m going to play.”

Canyon Lake’s Freshman squad did not have a good game in their loss to Navarro last night.
Last time these two squads met, it was a great comeback but an overtime loss to this same group of players.
Apparently, Navarro was allowed to put their Superman Cape on as the Panthers took a nine point lead in that first quarter and were never threatened for the rest of the evening.
“We turned the ball over too many times in this game and once again lost our composure when the pressure was on,” Coach John Barthels said. “We did play a good fourth quarter when I asked them to step up and get after it.”
Sounds like their might have been some frustration for the Hawks as the proverbial ‘Snowball’ going down hill syndrome.
“We still have a lot of things to get better at before the end of the season,” Coach Barhels said with resolve. “We will see what kind of fight we have left in us as we play the best team in our district as far as pressure goes this Friday with Fredericksburg’s press.”
It sounds like Coach Barthels has laid the ground work on what practices will be encompassing for the rest of this week.
That third quarter four point outburst will need to be corrected and then a turnaround might be forthcoming.
Come out and support the Hawks for their last game at home for this basketball season.

Canyon Lake JV basketball team swatted the Panthers around in their victory last Tuesday night in the Hawk gym.
Sophomore Skyler Tschoepthe Hawk gym.
“We have been on a skid the last seven games,” Coach Brian Hooper said. “Overall our press helped us in getting turnovers and got our offense going.”
Seven blocks recorded by five different players pretty much told Navarro that weak stuff was not going to be allowed as Canyon Lake controlled the boards with nine offensive rebounds and 37 total rebounds.
All but one player had at least one rebound and no player dominated the boards. A truly team effort as CLJV rushed out to a 10 point lead after that first quarter finishing with their 15 point margin of victory.
Sean Nolan was a recipient of a match-up offense as Navarro had no one who could body up to this 6’5 220lb mountain man underneath.
“We wanted to get Sean (Nolan) to work on finishing,” Coach Hooper said like a proud father.
In that final quarter Nolan’s longest shot was right under the rim, in fact all of his shots were right under the rim, hence only missing one shot for the game.
On having the offense isolating Nolan underneath in the fourth quarter Nolan commented, “Somewhat, because they (Navarro) don’t have any players my height and I was telling my teammates, Navarro had no one to match up with me,” Nolan said from his mountaintop.

Lay ups can be one of the most mystifying shots in the heat of battle for basketball games.
Many times shots go in and out or just bounce the wrong way and when you add up those shots then you know that a game was well within your reach to come away with a victory, IF….if we only had those shots go in…
“We talked about turnovers during halftime,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman started. “When a team is not even pressing and you have 11 turnovers in a half….turnovers just diminish your chances of scoring.”
“Our turnovers were also timely ones,” Lucas also stated. “We have to come out and play with energy and tenacity and we just did not get that done.”
Canyon Lake was still right on that door step of taking a game against Navarro, but a missed lay-up here and an untimely turnover there will add up many times in giving way too many gifts to your opponent netting a loss.
The Hawks rebounded from a 13 point deficit to close to within two points late in the fourth but just could not find a way to get that shot in a loss to the Panthers, 45-40.
Canyon Lake has not had a warm reception at home with another loss and a 3-10 record.
That last home win was during the Canyon Lake Tournament a 48-47 win over Somerset, December 7th, 49 days and seven games ago.
Speaking of streaks, CL went over a quarter of playing time without scoring a point. The Hawks took a 12-10 lead and when they scored again with 1:05 left in the second quarter, Navarro enjoyed 14 unanswered points.
Without Spencer Wellings two buckets the quarter would of been a shut-out.

Hoops Talk
Canyon Lake Girls will be playing their last game of this season tonight and there will be some sad times as four players will be playing their last contest.
Tammy Dean who has started a few games but more often than not, Tammy has come in to spell other guards and play some hustle defense.
Hannah St. John has been injured some this year, but also is one of those guards that has had some good offensive and defensive skills these past few seasons for the Hawks.
St. John is tied for fifth place in three point shots made with Amber West.
Kelsey Long has been an important post and wing player this season giving some important minutes on both sides of the court.
