Canyon Lake had several sports banquets last week and The ReSporter would like to give you the scoop on who did what.
Last Thursday night CL had golf, baseball, and track teams in attendance at the Hawk gym, where the coaches and parents had the opportunity to hear about their sons and daughters and give them the accolades that were well deserved.
BASEBALL:
Logan Felch
“Future looks bright,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant started as he rallied the team for their awards. “This was the hardest working group and it looks very promising for next year. Senior night went very fast with only one player. We are very young and I’m excited for next year.”

Coach Hilgendorf flanked by Sam Hilgendorf and Arnold Adame after Practice
The Seniors that just graduated from Bracken Christian scored 1727 points in their four year career as Warriors. That is .496% of the total points by every other player to ever put a royal blue uniform on.
Reflect now on the job at hand for this year’s football team and what type of pressure they will be under to try and continue this status quo. Is it possible?
That is what the Coaches have been trying to find out for the past two weeks during spring practice.
Let’s start at the top. Eli Achilles will be very pivotal for the Warriors this season. This will be his fourth year taking snaps for BCS.
Achilles has a pretty solid record, 35-4 and he has grown (literally) since that first year as a freshman.

Head Basketball Coach Jeff Maynard
Canyon Lake Basketball is down to just one Coach after Head Coach Jeff Maynard made the announcement that this would be his last year on the bench.
The Hawks had known about JV Coach David Bentzen leaving at the end of basketball season and a couple of months of silence was met with this news out of the blue.
When asked about the decision to leave, Coach Maynard was quick with an answer, “Family! Spending time with my kids and seeing her (my daughter’s) games…Coaching would not give me that opportunity. I will be working for Farm Bureau Insurance and I’m local, born and raised. So this deal was too good to pass up.”
Coach Maynard continued, “It’s going to be tough, but I have been thinking about a change and it was very coincidental and this deal for me that just seemed right. I did not want to kick myself if I missed the years of watching my children growing up. Coaching from football to basketball takes a lot of time from the family.”
Now Canyon Lake has made the quick decision and moved Freshman Coach Lucas Chapman up to Head Coach.

Coach Monzingo
From the Comal Independent School District web site.
Head Coach Matt Monzingo
“Matt Monzingo has been named the new Comal ISD Athletic Director effective at the end of May. Monzingo takes over for Jim Rodrigue, who passed away after a short illness in April. Monzingo has been the head football coach and athletic coordinator at Canyon Lake High School since it opened in 2007 and previously held the same position at Pflugerville Connally High School from 1996-2007.”
Canyon Lake Head Coach Matt Monzingo will be stepping down after 31 years of walking the sidelines.
“I told the football team yesterday,” Coach Monzingo said. “I have left three high school jobs and this one was a very….very tough thing to do.”
Coach Monzingo brought Canyon Lake up in a very….very quick manner. The Hawks won after just their second year and had a winning record and into the playoffs.

Canyon Lake has another first when both Jordan Anderson and Marisa Ellis
Jordan Anderson finishes Sixth in Statei
placed sixth in their respective events this past weekend in Austin for the 3A-State Track Meet.
Marisa Ellis’ event (Triple Jump) was scheduled for Friday night and Ellis responded with a sixth place finish. Her 36-00.50, jump was off her previous best mark in the Region Meet two weeks ago, but the Junior can now concentrate on next season knowing what is possible as a Senior.
In our article earlier last week, you would have read where Ellis is not going to scratch and she followed through with her performance and not having a scratch on any of her jumps.
Ellis first jump was 34-07.75 and that had her in sixth place after the first round, where she ended up after her sixth jump.
The jump that solidified her placing was on her fourth try when she cleared 35-04.75, which had her a full foot further than the other three participants vying for placing in this event.
Ellis had her personal best jump two weeks ago when she cleared 37-04.50 in Corpus Christi.
This was the second year in a row for Canyon Lake Girls to score points at the State Track Meet. Jessica Cunningham competed in the Pole Vault last year for the Hawks.
Jordan Anderson was also scoring for the Hawks as this Junior improved his 400 Meter Dash time by almost a full second from his previous record two weeks ago in Corpus.

Bracken Christian took 12 athletes to Waco last weekend for the TAPPS State Track
Congratulations to the 12 All State Tracksters
Meet and finished within the top 10 in both the girls and boys team.
Grady Achilles came into the meet with the goal of defending his 100 and 200 Meter Dash. For the third time!
Mission accomplished, as the Senior finished his athletic career for BCS as one if not the best male athlete for the Warriors.
“Grady has determination,” Head Coach Terri Sanders said. “He is very confident in his ability.”
Achilles seemed to be reaching this year’s meet without the consistency he had enjoyed in previous State Meets.

The ReSporter: What does it mean for this program to finally have that first athlete
Canyon Lake Tracksters
(Jordan Anderson) break through the barrier and get to Austin?
Coach Levi Montgomery: “Jordan is a very talented young man. His work ethic matched his talent this season, and he deserves the success he has had. His going to the state meet is another first for Hawk Athletics, and we are proud of him.”
The ReSporter: Share some about the Seniors and what you would like the fans and other students to know about their years at CL.

Marisa Ellis will be Canyon Lake’s second participant for Boys and Girl’s Track Team
Marisa Ellis finishing Strong
this week as she attempts to Triple Jump her way for a medal in Austin.
Marisa, at our last writing was on a mission to have a personal best jump and clear the 37 foot mark. The distance had haunted this Junior for two years when she went to the Region Meet as a Freshman for Midlothian jumping just shy of that mark.
The distance was finally reached on her second to last jump in last weeks Region Meet in Corpus Christi when she hit 37’4.5”.
“I had jumped 36’8” and was in first for a while,” Ellis recounted. “Then two girls beat my jump on the second to last jump and I was in third.”
No pressure for Ellis as she still had two more jumps to get into second or first place and make the next round in Austin.
