Canyon Lake has surprising tie against Smithson Valley
Canyon Lake tied Smithson Valley, 1-1, last Friday and now find themselves with a legitimate chance of making some noise in district play. The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach Jeff Vaughn for some insight to that game and how the season is unfolding.
The ReSporter: “Congratulations on the game with Smithson Valley this past Friday…
Coach Vaughn: “Thanks. All the credit goes to the girls as I just stand on the sidelines and give orders and move the pieces around. The heart shown by the girls is how we were able to get the much needed tie.”
The ReSporter: “What did you do offensively after SV scored in order to score the tying goal?

Carl Cook celebrating Senior Night with Mom
Canyon Lake finished another disappointing season as the Hawks said good-bye to nine of the 12 players on this years edition after posting a hard fought loss to district champion Boerne Greyhounds.
The Hawks were ahead with five minutes left in the second quarter, 17-16, but that lead was lost after a Greyhound 9-0 run and an eight point halftime lead.
Boerne finished district with an unblemished record and Canyon Lake would need to have an overall perfect game to complete the upset bid.
“I’m very proud of the boy’s,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard started. “They could of gone out and choked it up and they didn’t.”
“This is the first team that left an impression with their defense and that focus helped the younger players in our program.”

Vicki Henderson throws out Bulldog
Canyon Lake started a new campaign in good shape as they whitewashed the Marion Bulldogs, 10-0 last Tuesday night at the Hawk Softball Field.
The top of the batting order was lethal as the Hawks had the first four batters reach base which resulted in a 60 pitch inning for Skylar Sullivan and six runs for Canyon Lake.
Mary Caroline Jordan started the frame with a single followed by a walk for McKenna Beseda. Missy Romero would not succumb to Sullivan as she worked the pitcher for 10 pitches and a walk to load the bases.
“I was very intense and wanted to win,” Centerfielder Jordan exclaimed. “I really liked being at the top of the lineup.”

Vicky Henderson will bring her solid game for the Hawks
The scrimmages are over and now it is time for Coach John Gallagher to put the puzzle pieces together.
“We saw a lot of players and now we have got to evaluate some talent,” Head Coach Gallagher said. “We have a clearer picture on where we can play players on Tuesday.”
The Hawks play this Tuesday at home against Marion starting at 6pm.
This will be a chance to see how a second place finish in District 26-3A last year will translate for a team that lost five players that switched their bat for a diploma last May.
In that number was a few players that made up the most important area on the diamond in the center.
Katy Payne, Tiffany Arredondo, and Alex Henderson were a few of the hard to replace positions on the team.

It is a maturity thing and we had to prove it to ourselves.”
“When we have been beaten so much this season the guys (team) had a ‘we can do this’ after playing a solid second quarter.”
BCS decided to start playing with two seconds left in the first quarter as Conner Higgins sank a baseline floater to start the scoring.
“Coach (James Johnson) wanted to run a pick and row in the second half,” Senior Higgins said. “This year was a lot of fun and we thought we had a chance to make the playoffs.”

Jordan Anderson beating the Field in Wimberley last Season
Track and Field is one Sport that has given Canyon Lake a chance to lap many of our District 26-3A schools.
A look below you will find one part of the the team that has put other teams on notice. If the time is underlined, then that means it was good enough to win District.
Notice how 2011 races by our JV squad is close to beating our Varsity the first year of competition.

Track & Field | Comments Off on CL Track Season is Sprinting up Fast
Junior Jasmine Smith gets her kicks in.
The Lady Hawks (5-2-2) took care of business in beating Floresville (8-3-1) at Hawk Stadium last Friday night as all the points scored came in the first half of play.
Canyon Lake had four starters out with injuries while many of other players were banged up. That is what made this MASH unit even more remarkable.
Head Coach Jeffrey Vaughn looked like a champion puzzle player as he fit the pieces around to come out with a well deserved win over a Floresville Jaguar club.
Moving the Freshman Goal Keeper to a starter, the Senior Goal Keeper to Defender, the Midfielder/Defender to Sweeper, you get the idea. The Hawks were playing positions that were not normal for this young but resilient team.

Head Coach Trent Dunavant
It wasn’t that long ago that the Canyon Lake Baseball team was coming back from a second round loss to Hidalgo after taking the 27-5 team to a three game playoff and one hit from making the third round.
The Hawks were then hit with a slew of injuries and players moving to give the 2011 season a rebuilding campaign.
So now, one year later, Canyon Lake will now enter this season with only one returning Senior (Dylan Adams) and two strong classes that have the potential to surprise some district foes.
How about, Travis Walker in his third year on the varsity. The catcher/third baseman/pitcher will be wearing a lot of hats.

Amber Ramsey taking control of the Paint
It was Senior night for the Lady Hawks, but the results left more than just the parents crying in the loss to Wimberley, 56-47.
Canyon Lake started the pre/season with an idea of play the games with as much effort as possible and make the games respectable.
After starting district play with two losses, with what turned out to be the two district front runners, this team had other thoughts about how they might be able to push the envelope.
Amber West, Emily Moore, and Caitlin Gillum had a pretty impressive line score for their last home game for Canyon Lake.
Shots Free Throws Reb. Assists Steals Blocks Points
7/14 12-23 10 3 4 1 26
The Hawks needed a win to keep their chance for a playoff game to be a reality. Canyon Lake had a 46-45 lead with three minutes left in the fourth quarter.
During that time of the quarter, the Hawks had already lost two players to fouls and then another three other players were escorted off the court carrying five fouls.
