that needs some attention.

The last two games has had a defense that has had 12 errors …Not Good.

The offense has only produced two runs …Not Good.

Yes, this Hawk team is young, but if they can get their act together, then the epilogue can entice an excited crowd for the end of the play.

In other words, Canyon Lake can not afford to get too far behind in the race for a playoff spot.

Wimberley game finished with a 3-0 loss, but allowing so many extra runners on base via errors proved to be a down fall.

The Canyon Lake Hawks have started their District 26-3A race by running over the

Boerne Greyhounds last Wednesday, 14-4 in the shortened run ruled game.

“I think we were ready to play and came out aggressive  offensively,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “We just got to keep working and plugging.”

The lineup looks like it might be set for most of the games for the remainder of the season.

McKenna Beseda started the game in left field, which allowed Kelsey Ahrens to take third base and moving Lilimae Dailey to first. A position she played last year.

“Beseda is good out there,” Coach Gallagher surmised. “Her speed is an asset. Now with (Mary) Jordan at centerfield we can play quick….but this will all be based on who we play.”

Missy Romero was dominant from the circle and held Boerne to two hits in the contest.

Boerne helped the Hawks cause with seven errors, which allowed the Hawks long innings and 12 runs to start the contest.

over as District 26-3A starts to rev into high gear. The Hawks beat the Panthers from Navarro, 6-1 with some outstanding pitching from Logan Felch last Wednesday night.

Felch was the hard luck pitcher against Bandera in the district opener when he gave up one run in the loss.

In the Navarro game, Felch gave up four hits and struck out 10 Panthers while just walking one batter. Pretty impressive game from the mound.

“This game makes us feel a lot better in getting our first district win,” Felch pitched in. “Things are starting to row for us…this team has got a little more fight and has more of a positive attitude this year.”

The Hawk Defense was another reason for the ease in which the game transpired.

“That is a good feeling,” Felch commented on how well the defense played tonight.

team compete you will realize that it is just a matter of time for CL to break into the win column and start competing for a playoff spot.

Fredericksburg started with a bang, scoring four runs in the first inning that was highlighted by a three run homerun off the bat of Jacob Smith. The inning was elongated by an error, having the Hawks continuing on the abnormal amount of runs scored with two outs.

“We keep grasping at straws because we have so many youth issues,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant lead off. “We hit the ball better, we spent two days on it.”

Canyon Lake responded in the bottom of the first when Freshman Garrett Winters drew a one out walk, Travis Walker singled scoring Winters after advancing on an error earlier when Eckert tried to catch Winters off of first base.

Fredericksburg scored another unearned run in the top of the second after two outs, when Daniel Camarillo misplayed a ball in center field and the Billies’ runner scored on a passed ball later that inning.

Below you have the teams and what District they are from with the finish they had earlier this month. The ReSporter will give you the Hawk Athletes and their finish based on their best time and distance being placed into this track meet.

The ReSporter will also be running last year’s District 26-3A Meet with this year’s Hawk Team. Stayed Tuned!!

Baseball: CL asks for Two Out Innings, Lose to Wimberley, 7-1

Every run scored by Wimberley was after two outs and helped put Canyon Lake in a hole, but the Hawks would be advised to ask the District Office if they can play the rest of their District games with two out innings.

Third Baseman Dylan Adams

Wimberley used their clutch hitting to score a victory over the Hawks last Tuesday during a Spring Break week.

Canyon Lake had a chance to score the first run in the third inning, when Dylan Adams led off with a single through the gap. A sacrifice hit by Daniel Camarillo and a passed ball had Adams looking right down the third base line towards home.

With two outs, batter Travis Walker hit the ball lake a laser towards Adams who did a break dance routine dodging the ball.

Zach Henshaw and Alex Kemp Punch Ticket for College

You might have heard of these two players that signed

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw on Signing Day

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw on Signing Day

last Friday at Canyon Lake High School.

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw took another step for their opportunity to play in College.

Kemp was courted by Mary Hardin Baylor while Henshaw will be up the road at Tarleton State University.

To put these two students in perspective lets run some numbers, just in case you forgot who these two young man were. (The season did end over four months ago)

Alex Kemp was the Defensive End for the Hawks where he finished with the All-Time Record for sacks and a basic disrupter for many of the offenses the Hawks faced in the last two years.

Kemp had 126 total tackles the last two seasons and in his Junior year he amassed nine sacks and 15 tackles for a loss.

Not to be out done, Kemp ended with 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss his Senior campaign. The two totals are now records left for all the under classman to try and top.

The next closest active player in sacks is Isaac Pruna with four. The record holder going into last season was J. Garrett Groom with 10 sacks.

Pruna will have his work cut out for him in the tackles for loss category as he is also the active returning player with eight tackles for a loss. Needing a mere 25 more to tie Kemp’s record of 33.

Zach Henshaw was a record machine that had an extra jump on any player trying to catch him in yardage gained since he played three seasons for the Hawks.

Henshaw had 300 yards rushing in one game, 2070 yards in one year, and 4329 yards in his career.

CL Runs to the Bus at the Tivy Antler Relays in Kerrville

Canyon Lake Boy’s and Girl’s Track Teams will have a week off after getting a cold

Marisa Ellis Reaching New Heights

reception in Kerrville for the Antler’s Relays last Thursday night.

“It was FREEZING!!! 45 degrees and 20-30 mph winds not a good day for track,” Head Girls Coach Lacey Lambert said. “Before it got too cold… Marisa Ellis broke school records in the triple jump with 36’6” shattering the previous record as well as jumping 5’3” in high jump.”

Track is one sport where wearing more clothes will give you slower times. Football has pads and lots of exertion, where Track teams rely on less weight on the body so they can maximize their events.

Coach Lambert was very excited with some of the younger athletes, “JV Freshman Grace Allen also triple jumped for the first time and won with a jump of 31’7”.  Hayley Melone jumped 14’ in the JV long jump as well.”
