Whoever came up with the word ‘Free’ throw in basketball needs to come

Senior Kevin Nolan finishes after being surrounded by Texans
back and have a do over on naming rights.
Canyon Lake Hawks could not cash in on the ‘Free’ throws when they needed too the most. A good free throw night would of been the difference maker in a game that saw the Hawks down as many as 13 points early in the first quarter.
In fact, the Hawks scored their first point on a free throw after the Texans had run up a 12-0 score in the first two minutes of the game.
Go back to an earlier game at the Canyon Lake Tournament and the same type of game transpired against Fredericksburg. That game was not pretty as the Hawks just dug themselves deeper and deeper after a similar start.
Against Wimberley, the Hawks were down 17-4 with four minutes left in the first quarter when the short handed Hawks started chipping away at what would’ve been an avalanche against the Billies earlier this season.

Caitlin Gillum going to the rim after one of her seven steals.
By looking at the stats for this game, you might wonder how Canyon Lake was even in the game, but not only were they in the game, but lost by only one point, in a heartbreaking loss at Wimberley.
Senior Caitlin Gillum last second shot rimmed out on a shot that would of sent the visiting crowd to their feet.
Canyon Lake took a 9-8 lead on a Amber Ramsey shot with 4:53 on the second quarter clock and held that lead until 5:19 in the fourth quarter.
In between that twilight zone, the Hawks lead by as many as nine points. The Hawks held the Texans to two points in the second quarter and used this quarter to forge into a seven point lead at intermission.

Canyon Lake Hawks turned on the jets and ran away from San Antonio Hawkins last Tuesday night, 65-24.
The Hawks got everyone in and the game was never in doubt after the first few minutes after tip off.
“(Amber) Ramsey gives us rebounds,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher stated. “ I think the team is feeling confident and that is important thing for this group.”
Canyon Lake spread the ball around, but Amber West and Katie Williams reached double figures with 15 and 10 points respectfully.
Three more scored eight points, Ramsey, Caitlin Gillum, and Hannah St. John found the basket to their liking also for the game.
Canyon Lake will play a pivotal game this Friday at Wimberley. A win and the upstart program will put themselves squarely in a position for a district run where anything can happen.

The Bracken Girl’s Basketball team came up on the short end as district play started last Tuesday night at the Bracken Gym.
Kerrville OLH jumped out to a commanding lead and the Warriors could never catch on fire and reel the Hawks in losing, 46-28.
BCS did win the second half by closing the gap seven points.
The Warriors were led by a 16 point effort from Brianna Martinez. Martinez missed a double-double by one rebound finishing with nine.
“The second half we totally played a different game,” Brianna Martinez said. “The different offense for the second half helped.”

Bracken Christian Boys Basketball started District play on the short end, losing to Kerrville OLH, 41-30.
The Tuesday night game started with the Warriors enjoying a seven point lead the first three minutes of the game.
But that is when the lids were put on the basket as BCS next basket happened with four minutes left in the second quarter. While the cold shooting was taking place, the Hawks from Kerrville had tacked on 13 unanswered points.

The Canyon Lake Girl’s Basketball team won their first district game in Bandera on Friday, 50-26, as Coach Mary Beth Gallagher emptied the bench in the runaway win.
“It was great to be at full strength again,” Head Coach Gallagher commented. “Everyone got involved which allowed us to see how we can play with a full bench.”
In a game played earlier this year at the Canyon Lake Tournament, the Hawks beat Bandera Bulldogs in a battle for third place. The score was 44 to 30, giving you the idea of how much CL has improved.
The main difference in the two games was the absence of Amber Ramsey her 12 rebounds and solid play with a new 1-2-2 defense.

The ReSporter finally caught up with Jeff Maynard, the Head Coach for
Canyon Lake Boys Basketball team.
The ReSporter: A 9-5 record so far this season….what are your thoughts on the progress the team has shown thus far?
Coach Maynard: “I am very pleased with where we are right now. This is the best start that we have ever had, and in all honesty we are a couple of possessions away from being 11-3. We still have a lot to improve on, but I am real proud of how our boys have approached the season thus far.”
The ReSporter: With this team it seems like you have a chance to sub any player at any time during a game and the talent level does not drop significantly. How will this dictate your game management?

The score was much closer than what the final indicated, but the Hawks were in control for the game and beat a hapless Blanco by seven points.
Canyon Lake shot 41% from the floor the first three quarters, leaving Blanco with a furious comeback to make the game seem closer.
Six turnovers for the first half also helped the JV to secure another win.
Caleb Kreiger led the Hawks with 17 points while cleaning the glass with 14 rebounds. Kreiger almost had a double double in the first half.
Kreiger was helped with 11 points from Chandler Faulkner and seven points from Robbie Ferris.
Isaac Mendez helped with seven rebounds while dishing out two assists.
Everyone contributed in the game as Erik Ibarra was heard saying going to the bench, ‘I scored my first points of the year.’
“We had a lot of energy from this past week,” Ibarra interjected. “Crashing the boards and blocking out has helped with a good winning streak.”
The Hawks were up by 16 points in the second half while Coach Chapman allowed all the players to apply pressure on Blanco throughout the game.
The game was coached by Chapman as Coach David Bentzen had to leave early for his Christmas vacation.
When asked which Coach was the better tactician, the players were almost all in agreement and The ReSporter will leave the answer for the Coaches to deduce.
Merry Christmas!!
