Volleyball Pre-View

vollyballjune17The Canyon Lake Volleyball team was the first Hawk team to win a playoff spot two years ago and would now like to see if they can be the first Hawk team to win District.

Alex Kemp—Paper or Plastic

The Juniors baseball season had concluded last week, but the two teams with the same home town on their name did not play each other until now. The Green team is composed of mostly eighth graders and the Gold team seventh.
