Aubrey Avey readies for her 300 meter hurdle event. Way to Go Fast Aubrey!!
As the Spring Sports start to get to their final stage both Softball and Baseball can still pull a playoff spot with wins and some luck.
Lady Soccer is Area Champs after 8-0 win over SA JFK. Go Hawks!!
The Canyon Lake Lady Soccer team had a successful season with a record 18 wins this year after losing a good senior class in 2023.
Way to Go Hawks!!
Playing in one of the toughest districts in the state, The Lake was able to hold on and qualified with a 4th place finish. Yes, a Bi-District win over a Burnet team that finished first in their district would give a taste on how hard of a road this young team traversed.
The ReSporter caught up with Soccer’s Head Coach Kara Stracener for her thoughts after bowing out in the third round in the playoffs.
The ReSporter: First, would you comment on your seniors and what they meant to CL’s team?
Coach Stracener: “As I told the team last night after our loss…when our seniors were freshman was the start of this program becoming a winning program. Their hard work and leadership have been a huge part of the success of the past four years and setting the tone and the bar for players that continue to come through.”
The ReSporter: Did you reasonably expect to make it this far this season based on the youth of the team and why or why not.
Go Hawks & Way to Fly High!!
Coach Stracener: “The team surpassed my expectations this year…with only 9 returners the freshman and new to Varsity came in and made an immediate impact and continued to improve and grow as players and as a team throughout the season.”
The ReSporter What are you expecting for the new crop of players from middle school, I have heard this class has some more good lady athletes.
Coach Stracener: “I am excited for these 8th graders. I think there is a good group that has a lot of potential. With high school soccer, just like this year, there are always a few potential freshman that can come and compete for spots on Varsity.”
The ReSporter: What will be your main concerns for building next year’s team?
Go LAKE!
Coach Stracener: “I don’t know if they are concerns, but the big things to think about each year are…what roles and holes do we need to fill that the seniors left? After that we start thinking of who can fill those roles and holes. And then formation(s) we can possibly play to play to our strengths, which can typically change throughout the season.”
The ReSporter: Any other thoughts that you would like to share? that would be great for the Hawk Nation to know….
Coach Stracener: “It was a record-breaking year! We had more wins in program
history (18) the past two years we have had 13 wins, more goals in program history (106) last year we had 81, Savanna broke the goals in a season record (55) her sister set it the last two seasons with 30 and then 32, and she also broke goals in one game (6) her sister had it last year with 5, and then we had our first tournament championship win ever at the Katy i-10 Shootout in preseason.”
More good times on the horizon and as always, Way to Go Hawks!!

Go Hawks & Go Fast!
Canyon Lake had a tune-up Track Meet in Wimberley this past Thursday and finished in second place after posting 167 points.
The Lake scored 35 points in the Sprints, 20 for the hurdles, 38 on the distance events and finished with 44 points scored in the relays.
Counting the Girls JV those distance events totaled 58 points showing the strength for those students taking parti in those longer runs.
Counting both Varsity & Junior Varsity, The Lake had 23 different ladies scoring points that had Sophomore Savanna Olberholtzer (28 pts/5 events) leading the Varsity and Jazlyn Kearney (18 points/3 events) just topping Haley Petty (17 points/3 events) and Zoe O’Neal (17 points/3 events.
Let’s Go Hawks!!
O’Neal was the only JV Athlete to finish 1st when she ran a 2:44.42 her 800 meter run.
Caiden Ocanas (10 points) was the other JV Athlete who finished with double figures.
The Lake’s Varsity totaled a first place in 8 events and two athletes (Cadence Patterson and Ayren Lightfoot) were standing on that first place podium in 3 events a piece.
Future University of Houston athlete, Patterson is taking those long distance runs to task as she is now leading the CL All-Time charts in the following.

Freshman Eva Zabarcencu is one of many Lady Hawks breaking the tape at Track Meets this season.
CLake’s mile relay was just off, .59 of a second from taking over last year’s foursome that qualified for State last season. Three in last year’s group returned and Patterson replaced Alencia Lentz who finished 1st Place in this year’s Big 12 Indoor Track Meet for the Baylor Bears in her pole vault specialty.
Avey (300 Meter Hurdles) and Lightfoot (200 & 400 Meter Dash) have now lowered CL’s All-Time marks in those categories.
So many Lady Hawks that continue to have personal bests (pr’s) with each week blazing a new trail on CL’s All-Time lists.
The key will see if these results continue to improve thus showing there are still more records as a possibility as District-Area-Region Meets results in having more entries at this year’s State Meet in Austin.

Canyon Lake will send several athletes to this week’s Texas Relays in Austin and will be in Comfort this Wednesday for a practice meet.
Distriict 27-4A Meet will be held at Wimberley on April 3-4 to give the local Hawk Nation two close venues to catch some great athletes.
Let’s Go FAST Hawks!!

Hawks Battles Inconsistency in Loss to Boerne
Let’s GO HAWKS!!
Canyon Lake Baseball has had an up and down season thus far due in part due to a team that has replaced 9 starters from last year’s group. Based on that circumstance, this season. has a Hawk team that is much younger which leads to uncertainty if it will be 7 innings of consistent or inconsistent play.
This week, The Lake, had two District 27-4A battles with State Ranked Davenport and Boerne.
A convincing win over Davenport (9-2) gave way for an unforgettable loss to Boerne (2-13) during that 2 game stretch.
Two different outcomes can be attributed to consistent outcome followed by an inconsistent game.
Let’s Go Hawks!!
Fielding-Batting-Pitching was not in the same ball park compared to that win over Davenport who had been ranked higher than Boerne.
The good news has this year’s version with a better record than that more consistent Hawk team last year at this same time of the season.
Bottom line it was one loss and CL will have several more challenges upcoming with the hope of stringing two or more consistent games in a row and finishing this first of 3 rounds of district contests standing in 2nd place.
Canyon Lake’s one high point was a two-run homer off the bat of Luke Roskin that turned out to be the only damage administered in this affair.
Way to GO LAKE!!
Come visit our shop for Hawk Nation,
Baseball has so many different variables with each game which can add to that uncertainty which puts a magnifying glass on how consistent a team can play that helps with more satisfying battles that can give a team a chance for making the post-season.
A break-even week with two more upcoming battles next week against Wimberley and a Friday home game with Bandera.
Here’s hoping for two consistent battles & Let’s Go Hawks!!
