Canyon Lake Varsity has made up their four game losing streak to start this season when they went on the road to Comfort and won a hard fought battle, 46-42.
While, the Junior Varsity and Freshman, able to come away with a victories after being without a game for a week.
Getting cobwebs cleared was good for this impressive group of players.
The Freshman took no prisoners in their contest while enjoying a runaway win by 27 points.
“We started the game by playing at a much higher tempo and moved the ball around better than any game this year,” Freshman Coach John Barthels said. “We have been focusing our practices on defense and moving the ball around…making good passes and we were able to do both tonight.”
Ten different players had a ball go through the hoop in this game.
“Finding open players allows more of our kids to get involved and gives us more options in our offense,” Coach Barthels ended.
“It was good to win a close game,” JV Coach Brian Hooper said. “Comfort did a good job defending our offense. We stepped up our press and were able to cause turnovers for easy baskets.”
Coach Hooper will not allow this team to rest on laurels as he closed, “We need to work on finishing around the rim and eliminating turnovers.”
Canyon Lake Varsity has now won six of their last eight games with both losses coming from Randolph, who will also be hosting CL in this weekends tournament.

The ReSporter: What are your thoughts as you look over the first third of your season and what are some things that need work and what are pleasant surprises?
Coach Chapman: Obviously, we started off slow, going 0-4, but since then we have played a lot better and are improving each time we go out.
We still need to work on executing better on offense, especially when it gets late in a game, and we need a bucket.
Our patience and shot selection will help that a bunch.
I have been really pleased with our defensive effort. The guys have bought in to playing defense and rebounding and those two things are what have turned our season around.
The ReSporter: Will you use a small and big lineup against certain type of teams?
Coach Champman: Basketball is a game of match-ups. If we play a team where we think we have an advantage going big, then we will do that and the same goes with using a small lineup.
We are fortunate to have a few guys that can play multiple positions and that helps us mix and match who we have on the floor. The more versatile we can be, the better.

Canyon Lake came up short again against Randolph in another Championship game, this time losing, 32-30.
Last week, CL lost by 16 at the Marion Tourney and so if you are into moral victories, then this was one you can hang your hat on.
“Our defense was real good,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We need to find ways to score and find ways to win.”
For five minutes starting their end of the third quarter, the Hawks could not buy a basket.
Canyon Lake had just one field goal with 30 seconds left in the third quarter till the end of this contest.
The chances of only losing by two points will give you an idea of how much, other parts, of CL’s game is clicking, especially on the defensive side of their game.
Some of that intensity was lost when Isaac Pruna went down with an ankle sprain in that second half.
The Hawks had a chance after forcing a turnover with four seconds left in regulation, but a Andrew Riali three pointer was short of the mark.
Canyon Lake will now travel to Comfort next Tuesday and then another chance to meet Randolph in their tournament next weekend.

Caleb Kreiger Scored 26 points in Win over Somerset
Canyon Lake will get another crack at Randolf as these two schools will meet for the second consecutive week as foes fighting for a Tournament Championship.
The Hawks punched their ticket for this rematch when they held on for a, 48-47 victory over Somerset Bulldogs in a nightcap on the first day of the Canyon Lake Classic.
This game had 15 lead changes, as each team traded punches all night long trying to get an advantage.
Somerset’s largest lead was only two points and CL had a seven point lead in their second quarter, 18-11.
Senior Caleb Kreiger had no problem establishing the inside as he hit at a 82% rate from the field through the first half scoring 20 points.
The second half, Somerset put a couple of Bulldogs on Kreiger forcing the Hawks to get more players involved.
“I had a size advantage,” Kreiger started. “We were beating their press, but then in the second half they put more players on me and I had to find other players.”
Canyon Lake started the fourth quarter with a one point lead, when Kreiger hit his first shot stretching that lead to three, 41-38.
Somerset would answer with five straight points, seizing the lead again, 43-41.
Paul Davis took his next rebound and went coast to coast for a tying score at the five minute mark.
A couple of minutes of blank shooting by both clubs, put this game in pressure mode when the Bulldogs broke the tie with under three minutes in regulation, 45-43.

Canyon Lake Boy’s won their first CL Tournament game in front of a pack house against Floresville JV, 42-32.
The Hawks withstood a cold spell while the Tigers closed the gap to three points late in the third quarter.
During this cold spell, Floresville scored 11 straight points to cut a 29-15 lead down to 29-26.
Even thought the Hawk Gym was packed with students on this Friday afternoon, only a fraction realized that their was a basketball game going on.
CL responded with or without the crowd and increased their lead back to a final 10 point win.
Doug Hubnik was high point with nine points while being joined in the scoring book with six other Hawks.
“Our shot selection has to be better,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We drive into traffic and then put up a tougher shot, than if we just ran our offense a couple more times through to get a more open chance.”
Canyon Lake will face Somerset on Friday night for a chance to play for a championship on Saturday.
