Canyon Lake JV took the game over from the opening tip, winning the first three quarters cruising to a 45-21 lead and coasted to another win at Hawk Gymnasium last Friday night.
The Hawks scored 24 points from the bench and never let SA Hawkins get control of the game.
Luke Curry took the game over in the fourth quarter during a mini run from Hawkins. Curry scored eight of the nine points CL scored in the fourth quarter, after the Wolf Pack closed the game after a 12 point run that closed the gap to, 45-33.
“I felt ‘it’ during the warm-ups,” Guard Curry said. “I had been training and could not hit the side of a barn…but I kept my intensity up and came out with 110% off the bench.”

Caitlin Gillum going in earlier game against Wimberley.
The Hawks needed some help to keep their hopes in tact when Wimberley beat Fredericksburg, 52-50. A Billie win would of all but clinched a playoff spot, but now if CL wins it’s next two games a chance is there.
“Not a real good offensive night for us,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “But a good defensive effort.”
Canyon Lake only had defense to hang their hat on as the basket only accepted three shots for the whole first half.
“We shot 3 for 37 in the first half,” Coach Gallagher said coldly. “We have to improve that for sure, but I like the way we are playing defense.”
The Hawks finished the second half winning 26 to 7 and turned a five point deficit to a more comfortable win.

Kevin Nolan outstretching the Wolf Pack
Canyon Lake could not finish as turnovers and rebounding in the fourth quarter finally put the game away for the Wolf Pack from San Antonio Hawkins, 48-38.
There was six ties and lead changes in the contest as both team found themselves without an advantage with the score knotted up at the six minute mark at 31 all after a nice Matt Magness pass to Carl Cook shot.
For the next four minutes the game was with Hawkins as the Hawks could not get a rebound, as 77 seconds came off the clock while the CL could not get a rebound after several missed free throws from the visitors.

The Bracken Warriors won a much needed road game on Thursday night at Marble Falls Faith, 35-34.
The game kept fans on the edge of their seats as the final seconds ticked down and smiled on the Warriors.
“Exciting for the fans but nothing either coach will be using as a training aid for future teams,” Head Coach James Johnson said. “We had a very good effort defensively but not much of anything positive to say about the offensive execution.”
With a halftime deficit of seven points, the Warriors came out with a defensive effort Coach Johnson spoke of, “I thought we defended well and that was what saved us.” Read the rest here »
The final score could indicate a tight contest with several lead changes, however the game was not close for much of the contest.
Canyon Lake garnered more points in the fourth quarter (27) than they had in the first three quarters combined (25).
“We finally knew we could play with these guys,” Senior Matt Noyola said. “That is what gave us the confidence.”
The Hawks missed 15 free throws which should let you know what could of been done to get in the win column.
Noyola finished with 15 points and contributed 12 points in the second half. Noyola made his last eight free throws that help close the gap.

Hawks Soccer Huddles UP
The Lady Hawks Soccer team has had a good start to kick off the season as they support a 4-2-3 record after beating Seguin, 4-0 last Tuesday night.
This season has also allowed the Hawks to play at their own stadium after being on the Road all of last season as the Hawk field acquired new turf.
The ReSporter will start off with a question and answer article from Head Coach Jeffrey Vaughn.
Coach Mary Beth Gallagher
One thing that does not change in this scenario is the need to win every game left on their schedule and the, ‘one down’ and three to go mantra, started last night in the Hawk Gym, when Canyon Lake had one of their most impressive wins in many moons over Bandera, 46-17.
Canyon Lake has now beaten the Bulldogs three games this year and each game the average fan can see improvement.
The first win was a closer than the score indicated victory, 44-29 during the CL Tournament. Canyon Lake had an one point lead at half and outscored the Bulldogs by 14 points in the second half.
Senior Missy Romero coming back for more Dominance
If the Canyon Lake Softball team can improve this season as much as last year’s team did, then you might see the Hawks make it to State.
Last season CL finished in second place in District play and made their first playoff appearance. Wanting more of the same would be an understatement.
In 2010, the Hawks finished the year owning a 4-20 record and proceeded to turn that around to a very respectable, 18-12 for 2011 season.

Canyon Lake Girls asserted a much better effort in their second go around with Navarro as foul trouble and turnovers took their toll in a loss to the Panthers, 61-38 in the Hawks gym last Tuesday night.
There were some differences in the two contests.
One was having three players that did not have an opportunity to play in the first game.
The Hawks came out of the gate with a good game plan as they fought hard through the first quarter.
CL was tied with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, but with two starters sitting on the bench with three fouls took its toll as the short handed Hawks could not keep up with the District 26-3A front runner.
Amber Ramsey has been good for double figures in rebounds and points since her return to the lineup earlier this month. Ramsey fell to the whistle and played less than five minutes for the game.
