                             Let’s GO LAKE!

The Lake had a decent week with Softball & Baseball each having a district win.

Softball took Bandera Dogs to the woodshed, 13-3 with a good pitching night for Melody Manos securing her 3rd win of the year. The Hawks used some key hits that helped secure this victory using their first (5 runs) and third inning (6 runs) helping to overcome a 2 run deficit to secure this conquest.

Baseball used that same script in getting their first district win after Hayes Holladay struck-out 13 Dragons in giving up just two singles in his, 4-0 shut-out.

This was a much needed win after losing their first 3 contests which will hopefully wrestle some momentum against a very good opponent this week playing Davenport.

               Proud of the Hawks!

On Saturday, The Lake, will welcome Navarro to the Nest as all three teams get on the diamond for a chance to get a fine-tuning contest as district reaches the half-way mark.

Track & Feld will be in action with this start of the District Meet on Monday @ 8:00am in Fredericksburg with finals for 3200 meter run and Field Events. Those running events will be slimmed down to athletes that qualified for Wednesday’s final day and will start at 4:00pm as CLake tries to qualify students for an Area Meet next.

Spring Sports start to thin out (much like The ReSporter’s hair line) this month as the athletes prepare for their final lap of this year.

Keep it up Lake & GO Hawks!

               Go Lake Beat Everyone!

Canyon Lake has had 3 shut-outs this season and the third pitched game by Hayes Holladay was certainly a charm.

The Lake needed this win after starting their District 26-4A campaign on the short end looking at an, 0-4 start if Hayes would not have canceled his Holladay.

“LC (Long Creek) could not handle his fast pace,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla exclaimed. “He threw 70% strikes. We needed a big game from him and he delivered.”

This gem started in that first inning as the Lake had allowed 11 total runs at start of each district contest which had CLake starting in a hole to climb out of in those first 3 losses.

               Congrats Lake Baseball.

Holladay threw 8 pitches to get those first three outs which would be the precursor
For the rest of this outing.

Catcher Arthur Miller barely had time to set up before catching a pitch as this fast pace left the Dragons without any ‘Fire’ power accumulating two singles and two free passes for the evening.

Add 13 strikeouts to this affair which also helped in keeping The Lake with only one error. You would have to go back 6 games since Canyon Lake had that type of defensive game.

               Way to Go Lake Baseball.

All of Long Creeks hits happened in the 2nd frame…but Holladay would strike out the the side taking any hope of advancing past second base in this white-wash.

Those two base-on-balls were stranded on first base in those two innings….one with a double play and striking out the last two batters in the bottom of the 5th inning.

In the 6th Inning a first batter two bag error was stranded after Holladay’s needing 15 pitches in striking out the side. That baserunner did advance to 3rd on a wild pitch which would be the low point for Holladay’s Holladay pitching performance.

Lucas Schexnayder and Bryce May would each score two runs with two of the Hawks 4 hits. It was the bottom of the line-up coming through as Ryan Rena also had a hit and rbi as all three players stole a base and it would be May scoring CL’s final run stealing home in the top of the 3rd inning.

The Lake had 5 steals and with two hit batters producing 11 base runners in this battle.

Gram Simpson tied Tanner Schultz with 21 hit-by-pitches and will look to be black & blue with his record breaking 22nd sometime later this season.

This win goes a long way in turning the tide as being swept twice off the bat (pardon the pun) could have had The Lake on the outside looking in.

Canyon Lake will welcome Davenport next Tuesday for their next two-game series with some needed momentum.

Way to GO LAKE!

                              Hawk’s Softball With a Recap from Coaches after 1st District Win. Go Lake!

             Way to GET HITS HAWKS!

The Lake Softball got their first win in district play in a run ruled contest with Bandera, 13-3.

Canyon Lake scored 5 runs in the bottom of the opening frame after these Bulldogs sent 8 players to the plate in scoring to take an early 2 run lead.

BHS scratch one hit in that first inning but the damage was light when Melody Manos had a strike-out with the bases loaded ending Bandera’s threat.

Manos found her groove the rest of the way in this white-wash not issuing any more base-on-balls and surrendering just two more hits in that final inning allowing just one more run for these Visitors.

It was Manos that stood tall in the circle working the next three frames of 3 Up and 3 Down sequences using 5 of her 7 total strikeouts during those innings.

                  Way to GO LAKE!

Alleigh Jones reached base on all 4 of her plate appearances scoring 3 runs and producing 2 rbi’s on her hard hit double on her second at bat.

Kelsey Unrue also doubled up two singles scoring two runs and also reaching base 3 times as the Hawks scored 6 runs in their 3rd inning leading to this run ruled outing.

Bandera coaxed another run in the top of the 5th inning that continued this contest but it would be Alleigh Jones working a one out walk in her next appearance then using a wild-pitch, error, and then raced home on a passed ball for the run ruled win, 13-3.

The Lake is a very young squad but a lot of good happenings in this battle shows what will be coming with each game of experience that will continues to add up.

Come Worship Easter With Us This Week! He Has Risen Indeed!

Sometimes there are some bad weeks and last week would qualify as one of those disappointing times.

The Lake’s Lady Soccer finished short in a loss to London when the Hawks were outscored on penalty kicks after finishing in a tie at the end of the two 10 minute extra time, 1-1.

So close but some close misses added with an all to close goal for the visitors.

Softball continues a hard learning curve with a very young group of players and are now just working on improving over this season for better results next year.

Baseball lost both games against Wimberley as issuing walks in last Tuesday’s loss and then coming up short in Friday’s loss to the Texans.

                          Plug those Leaks Lake!

Track & Field had some highlights but these two sports at this stage of the season has coaches moving athletes to different events (especially relays) but that plus trying to figure out the best way to maximize students in how they compete in different events comes during these meets.

Yes a bad week performance wise but this week is a given that a good thing will happen when EASTER produces the best Win in the history of the world when JESUS DEFEATED DEATH so that we have a chance to enjoy Life Everlasting by putting our Faith in His Crucifixion and on Sunday RAISED FROM THE DEAD for all of our Sins.

Way to GO JESUS & Thanks for Your Sacrifice for us!!

                   Keep it Going Hawks!!

The Lake had a decent week after a successful Hawk Lady Soccer conquest of Legacy Ranch winning in a thriller extra-time contes, 5-3.

Now an Area Round will be tomorrow at Smithson Valley against San Antonio Cole with a 7:00pm start.
The Lake Soccer should be The Hawk Nation hit list with this contest that’s within getting to distance as this crew of ladies continue their historic season after reaching the 20 win and 100 goal standard in last week’s Bi-District win.

Baseball will enter their district schedule this week playing Wimberley with that first pitch away and then return for a home contest against the Texans on Friday. Look at Standings below.

                                     GO LAKE!

Track & Field were in Fredericksburg last week and will be at the Texan’s Relays this Thursday.

District will also be at the Billie Stadium with a Monday April 6th and Wednesday 8th.

Softball continues growing pains with their young team as they continue to improve during their district slate.

      The Lake’s Soccer Team with another Bi-District Trophy & Looking for an Area Trophy next.

          Way to Go Lake Soccer!

Canyon Lake’s (20-2) Soccer team won Bi-District in overtime over Legacy Ranch (17-5-1), 5-3 in what turned out to be a good test run for this time of the year in a, win or go home’, time of the season.

Head Coach Kara Stracener commented on this win and the differences in LR’s offense,
“We haven’t played a team that played with that formation where they had two wide players and a center…they had 3 across the top….so we knew about it going into the game but then when you see it you just have to re-adjust and at halftime we certainly talked about that and we changed some of our formations and put some girls where we needed to and they adjusted great but more importantly they battled and played with their heart in this kind of game you have to do that.”

Coach Stracener continued on how important Liza Schexnayder goal-tended, “She was unbelievable….she is brand new to soccer and she’s learning throughout the whole season and against Bandera our second time she came out and made a very physical save and had to take a player as she was taking the ball and I think that type of moment from her was huge and she felt what is was like so she could do it in this game….and she did that four or maybe five times and she was a hero tonight for sure.”

             Go Lake Beat Everyone!

The Lake had never scored more than 100 goals in a season since the school began in soccer in 2008-09 year.

Two years ago CL was able to reach 93 goals…but now Savanna Oberholtzer with her 61 makes has scored 59% of this offense.

All those numbers are mind blowing but in the grand scheme of things that first goal in this battle had Abigail Lowth with a goal which was a head(er) and should(ers) as great, at the 36 minute mark, during that first half.

Then, that first goal in overtime, it was Kylee Morrow who had a 27 yard pk that just went over the Legacy Ranch goalie hands on the left corner of the upper shelf of the net.

                              Go Lake!

The Hawks never trailed in this contest and the score was a narrow, 3-2 at halftime lead.

In that 2nd Half both teams were more defensive minded but it was Ranch with a tying goal right under 10 minutes remaining, 3-3.

It was Goalie Liza Schexnayder who battened down the Hawk goal as she won several one on one shots on goal from the 15 yard line on down.

The Lake would not have been in a position to pull this game off without her unwavering defensive skills and her bumps and bruises in the days to come will prove her worth in this battle.

District 26-4A has been a formidable group of teams these past few years in looking back to last year when both Wimberley & Davenport being present in the Final Four in Division I and II.

            Go Hawks & Beat SA Cole!

The Lake’s, 2-1 loss last season to London just kept Canyon Lake from meeting Wimberley for that berth into the Final Four.

All of these district qualifying teams won their Bi-District round of games and once again stand a good chance of getting two more schools in for a chance to win state.

Canyon Lake’s Area contest will be at Smithson Valley High School this coming Tuesday against San Antonio Cole (20-4-4) at 7:00pm.

The Hawks have reached 20 wins for the first time to go along with breaking that 100 goals scored mark. Now keeping this Post-Season focused will be next on the docket as Wimberley could be that final hurdle in getting to Austin.

Ryan Rena and The Lake prepare for their first pitch in district play in Wimberley next Tuesday.
(photo by Daniel Clifton)

                          Let’s GO LAKE!

The Hawks wrapped up their non-district schedule after a win over the Taft Raiders, 8-6 that was an up and down affair that CL was able to start and finish with more ‘UPs’ in an eventual win.

“We got out hit yesterday however we got hits with runners in scoring position, which was big,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla said in response to win.

On the Lake pitching, “CJ (Rodriguez) did a great job on the mound coming in relief and Ryan (Rena) threw strikes.”

Those comments gives a good idea of what The Lake’s Coaches are looking for as district comes calling next Tuesday in Wimberley.

But It was the Raiders. that took a, 1-0 lead to start this battle after a one-out walk that came around to score on a Raider double.

            Make us Proud Hawks!

That lead would evaporate in CL’s 2nd frame as those ‘bunch of run innings’ presented itself when 7 of the first 8 Hawk batters reached base and that one out was having pitcher, Ryan Rena (3-0) with a successful bunt.

The Lake took a, 4-1 lead they would not relinquish for the remainder of this contest.

Taft was able to get back in this game in their bottom of the 4th inning after a one our walk that was followed with a double and two singles and a Hawk, 5-4 lead going into the 5th inning.

Rena got the win in this game and CJ Rodriguez had his first save in his 3 innings of work allowing one earned run pitching those final 3 innings.

                    Let’s GO LAKE!

The Lake’s Rena had 4 quality at bats reaching base on 3 walks and laying down his first sacrifice bunt of the year.

Cullen Barnhart continues his hot bat that included a 3 run double with two outs in the top of the 6th frame. All the Hawk runs reached base on walks~~ around the bases and a lead that would produce enough separation for this Canyon Lake win.

CLHS has had several games of scoring 3 or 4 runs in an inning as their pre-district contests conclude.

The Lake has scored 3 or more runs in 23 of their 90 frames thus far or, 26% of the time while by increasing that up to 4 runs per inning and The Lake has reached that level 15 times for or, 7% of the time.

These Hawks have used 9 different players on the pitching mound which is quite a bit more than in previous campaigns.  Hopefully Coaches can find those diamonds in the rough when district starts.

By the Numbers Before District Play:
 6  Players with 10 or more rbi’s.
 7  Total homers thus far.
 8  Times Gram Simpson has been hit by pitch (hbp)
 9  Players with 10 or more hits.
 9  Sacrifice Flies.
11  Players that have over a .500 on base pct. (obp)
14  More strikeouts than walks for Hawk pitching.
20  More walks than strikeouts.
21  Hayes Holladay leads with strikeouts.
32  More Earned Runs than Runs.

                   Congrats Lake Soccer!

Canyon Lake Ladies’ Soccer (19-2) start their next phase of the season when they welcome Legacy Ranch (17-3-1) to the Hawk Nest on Friday for a Bi-District contest with first kick at 6:30pm.

Legacy Ranch was a Canyon Lake opponent last year as district second seed behind Wimberley’s 1st seed finish which added more familiarities with this first round contest.

Post-Season has also been a familiar happening for The Lake as they have been active for five years now in getting to a 3rd round. The Lake has an, 8-5 playoff record, during this run, but there is one facet of a post-season having one familiarity to be jettisoned during this campaign.

The Lake has not been able to clear that 3rd hurdle on their march for a final 4 destination. Four of those last five years, The Lake, has finished their season in that 3rd round play-off game.

Year   Bi-District      Area              Semi-Regional
2021   Gateway    3-1   Pleasanton  2-1   Boerne     1-7
2022   Montopolis 7-1   Jones       6-1   Boerne     1-2
2024   Burnet     1-0   JFK         8-0   Davenport  2-5
2025   Legacy     6-1   Floresville 5-1   London     1-2
2026   Legacy     ???

The Lake’s loss against Davenport kept that elusive District Championship Ring from happening but that bigger prize is certainly still out there to grasp.

                       Let’s Go Hawks!

“The loss to Davenport is a humble reminder that we have to work hard for every win.” Head Coach Kara Stracener stated. “We will use it to fuel us to be better for this next game.”

Which will be a home game giving, The Hawk Nation,  a chance to show their support for one of the best season’s of any Hawk sport in the last 16 years.

On facing a familiar opponent and what has been The Lake’s approach after a week of rest Coach Stracener quoted, “We knew right away we would be facing Legacy Ranch…we have gone back to a few basics to review some things that we need to improve on for this game and then some specifics on how to attack and defend them.”

                     Break the Dam~ Lake!

A new school at Liberty Hill that has put good seasons together in their short span. The Ranch won their district with their only set-back coming in a tie with Burnet. This team has a lot of fire power as they have scored 111 goals this season.

Legacy Ranch played a high ranking team to start this season losing to Life Waxahachie, 2-6 but playing in a district that has 11 schools does not allow teams to play more out of district foes.

On Coaches thoughts on how this regular season went.  “I’m so proud of this team.  To only have two losses on the season and both to teams that were at the state Tournament last year is very impressive.  The girls are hungry and ready to play tomorrow.”

The Lake’s district has proven they can reach the final four and now getting past that 3rd playoff opponent would go a long way to realize that same dream.

So those familiarities has a chance to continue as the UIL Brackets has those same schools that The Lake played last year.

Last season Canyon Lake tied Wimberley twice and that next step happened this year after beating the Texans at their abode which certainly gives hope legs for that bigger prize.

So come out tomorrow for Canyon Lake’s opening act to reach past a familiar goal to a higher goal.

Let’s GO LAKE!

                    GET HITS HAWKS!

This week has less sports being in action than the Spring Break last week.

Baseball & Softball have front and only stage this week with both sports playing this Friday with Softball already being involved with their district schedule.

This Friday Softball will be battling at Long Creek with start time 6:00pm. Softball lost a ton of athletes to graduation last year and are presently one of the youngest Lake teams this spring.

Baseball will have their Gold JV team welcoming in Somerset’s JV team with first pitch at 430pm today.

CL’s Varsity Baseball and Green Squad will travel to San Antonio to play Taft High School with in a double header involving The Lake’s Green starting at 4:30pm and Varsity first pitch commencing at 6:30pm.

Last week, Canyon Lake’s Girls Soccer finished second in district after losing a close battle to Davenport, 2-1.

                                  GO LAKE!

The Hawk’s have the smallest district in Region IV with 6 schools while other districts, like the Bi-District opponents in the Austin area still shooting it out with 10 schools in their group.

The Lake finished with their best regular season sporing a, 19-2 record and will be the 2nd seed in the smaller school bracket.

At this writing CLake’s opponent would be between. Gateway. Lago Vista, or Jarrell. Last year, The Lake played Gateway from that district but more elimination bouts still needed to be decided.

Baseball finished last week with a, 2-1 record as this Friday’s contest with Taft being that last warm-up battle before meeting up with Wimberley in a week.
