Canyon Lake Boy’s Basketball will commence this weekend with a scrimmage against  Lampasas and hopes of building on last year’s Bi-District appearance.

Some strong players were lost which opens the door for new names in search of putting their names on the lists below.

This Top Ten is visited by several former players in particular Andrew  Riali and others who have played for The Lake.

The ReSporter hopes you enjoy this compilation and look forward in covering new heights this season.

Let’s Go Lake!

                        Hawks advance after sweeping Cuero to Regional Finals. Let’s Go Lake!

                             Way to GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball (23-16) swept through their Area Round over Cuero, 25-13, 25-17, 26-25 as they will have a short rest before facing El Campo Ricebirds (28-11) in a Regional Semi-Final battle.

The Hawks had been stuck as an Area finalist 7 times previously and now will try to up the ante with another win.

Lake Volleyball was the first sport to win a District Championship when they went undefeated during that 2015 campaign but was just short when Sealy overcame a first set Hawk win before rebounding with a, 3-1 comeback.

CLake started this night with one of their best opening sets taking these Gobblers, 25-13. Over half of those points were a result of some salty sets from Senior Chloe Gray to an array of Hawks with Te’a Gonzales starting off with 2 kills, Gabby Fory 3 kills, Preslie Owens 3 kills in succession.

                  Let’s Go Lake!

That start had The Lake enjoying an 18-7 advantage with Kylie Rodriguez serving a 5 point rally and eventual first set dominating result.

These Gobblers would hang around longer in that second set clawing back to an, 11-11 tie before CL would again be in top form outscoring Cuero, 14-6 to finish that set.

It was the third set that had more drama as both squads were tied 10 times during this set before Canyon Lake forged to a 19-14 advantage and what looked like another copy cat win.

However, it was Cuero that got some pecking (or whatever Gobblers do) and took a, 23-21 lead that had Head Coach Daniella Villarreal calling a timeout, “I just told them to take a deep breath and take it one point at a time.”

Some unforced Gobbler errors and then two kills by Gabby Fory from perfect assists for Chloe Gray to finish flatten this Area Round Road Block that allowed a smooth drive home with a trophy that hopes to have more company in the upcoming years.

This upcoming Regional Semi-Final contest has two even teams according to Max-Preps in Texas Ricebirds ranked 335~~Hawks 334, Section Ricebirds ranked 171~~Hawks 170, and State Division Ricebirds ranked 46~~ Hawks 45.

The 2025 Texas Girls Coaches Association State Volleyball Poll just came out with Canyon Lake ranked 8th in their Class 4A Division II Poll. Wimberley is ranked 3rd in this poll to give some reference.

Canyon Lake will match up this Friday in Gonzales, Texas with the winner advancing to the Regional Finals.

Let’s Go Hawks!

Hit Man says clear your nets so those shots can go thru the hoop & Go Lake!

Tis the season with another year for Canyon Lake’s Lady Basketball to get things going with a new head coach and what should be a young team.

Char Hutson was placed as the new Head Coach for a program that has had several people in that chair these past few seasons.

Coach Hutson will be bringing a fresh approach since this will be here first year as head of her own program. Hutson has been an assistant these past few years and having a knowledge of the players will play in her favor.

The ReSporter has been part of the Hawk’s Sports programs from the beginning and has seen these All-Time articles giving present players a goal of what they might be able to break into this group of ladies. As well as former players (and Parents) love seeing where their daughter still stands in this realm.

Let’s Go Lake and Hawk Nation wish Coach Hutson the very best crafting  this season.

                                                              A Packed Hawk Nest. Way to GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake took care of business sweeping into an Area Round playoff next Tuesday in Seguin against Cuero after disposing of Legacy Ranch Wranglers, 25-19 ~ 25-10 ~ 25-18.

“The first playoff game was electric! We had the home court advantage, and a huge credit goes to our fans with all our families, students, teachers., and staff for bringing the energy that helped us gain and maintain momentum throughout the game,” Head Coach Daniella Villarreal started. “The first set was full of playoff nerves, as none of our girls had experience this level of competition in volleyball. However, we have multi-sport athletes with playoff experience in soccer and softball, so I knew they would overcome their nerves and rise to the moment. By the second set, we took control with strong serving and passing, playing a much cleaner, more confident game as we settled into the environment. I’m really proud of how they handled the playoff atmosphere and improved as the game progressed.”

Starting the first set, The Lake could not shake these Wranglers before forging a 3 point lead, 15-12 and then hitting their stride stretching that lead to, 24-15 before seeing these Visitor’s 4 point rally.

That momentum continued into that 2nd set when Chloe Gray opened with a 4 serve rally with the help of a Preslie Owens’ kill with some added unforced errors coming from the Wranglers.

                Let’s Go Lake~Beat Cuero

Legacy would still hang around getting back to a 2 point deficit, 10-8 before Paisley Fahrney would unleash, serving a 4 ace 9 point rally, that gave CLake all they needed tying up this Wrangler team winning, 25-10.

It was Chloe Gray’s time behind the line serving another 3 point barrage that had an ace and three different Hawk’s with a kill, Goff (finished with 7), Kylie Rodriguez (finished with 8) and Te’a Gonzales (finished with 3).

Those 9 points also added a kill for Kylee Goff along with a kill and block coming from Gabby Fory.

Fahrney finished the night leading the Hawks with 5 of CL’s 13 aces.

Canyon Lake’s depth proved to be too much for Legacy Ranch keeping the pressure on with a plethora of players getting into the act.

Kills:   6 different players with 3 or more.
Aces:    4 different players with 2 or more.
Digs:    9 different players recording one or more.
Blocks:  4 different players with Goff leading this category with 3.
Assists: 6 different players with Chloe Gray, the setter, with 25.

Bi-District Champions~~ Cuero is next. GO LAKE!

A lot of action from the starters and bench giving Head Coach Daniella Villarreal many options to take control of this first post-season opportunity in six years.

That last set had Legacy’s back against the wall which had their first lead of more than one point as Legacy led, 10-9 before Fahrney took over serving another 4 point rally that had (wait for it) another ace Chloe kill.

The Hawks would continue their dominance finishing their third set by outscoring these Wranglers, 17-8. CLake scored 6 straight times on their serve to finish this match.

Coach Villarreal shared Canyon Lake’s next battle, “On Tuesday, we face Cuero at Seguin High School at 6:00pm. We’ll be preparing strategies to set us up for success while maintaining confidence and team chemistry. Each playoff round gets tougher, and anything can happen, so our focus in on improving as a team and keeping our momentum going.”

This is CL’s 8th year to play during the post-season with  7 of those invites having the Hawk’s winning a Bi-District Trophy.  The Lake has an, 0-7 record in that second round and getting over that hurdle has been hard to accomplish….is this the year?

The Resporter thinks that Coach Villarreal would mention one more ingredient needed for this next round….ANOTHER HAWK NATION TURNOUT FOR A WIN!

                   Go Lake & Beat Legacy Ranch!

Canyon Lake’s schedule will not be a busy week but a very important for both Volleyball & Football.

CL’s Volleyball Crew will have their first post-season berth since 2019 with a home game this Thursday against Legacy Ranch (19-11).

Football comes out of their bye week with a date with 5th Ranked Davenport at the Wolves Den this Friday.

A Hawk win over Davenport will give CLake a chance to share the district title with a tie breaker over Davenport who has already clinched a 1st place finish.

Both Sub-Varsity teams will have their final home game this Thursday.

Volleyball has a decent chance of advancing as both Legacy and CLake have two teams that are common opponents with an even record as both teams beat Akins and lost to Wimberley.

With a home court advantage that could give an even match in favor for your Hawks.

   Plug those Leaks Lake in Your Bi-District Battle!

On what Head Coach Danielle Villarreal thoughts before facing the Texans in their last regular contest, “For our game tonight, I’m really excited for the girls to compete against Wimberley and face high-level competition. Playing teams like Wimberley and Davenport provide great preparation heading into playoffs. I believe one of our biggest advantages is that our district schedule consistently challenges us, so when we face strong playoff opponents, we’ll be ready and comfortable competing at a high level.”

Those words come based on The Lake playing in one of the toughest districts compared to the competition Legacy Ranch was up against in their district.

On Coach’s assessment having achieved one of their season goals with a post-season invitation, “As for playoffs, I couldn’t be more excited for the girls and the opportunity for them to experience the postseason. It’s such an exciting time, and we’ll be practicing and preparing to make sure we’re sharp both in our play and in our team chemistry. We’re hoping to keep extending our season and enjoy every bit of time we get together as a team!”

           Beat Legacy Ranch~LAKE

One attribute with this year’s edition is the balance in the skill set with several players that have raised their skill set giving Coach Villarreal a plethora of options in closing out teams.

For the category on Digs, CL has four athletes who has topped 200 for this season led by All-Time Hawk Digster, Kylie Rodriguez leading with 274 and followed closely with Izzy Fory (266), Chloe Gray (242) and Sabrina Steele (207).

Chloe Gray was the set queen once again topping the charts garnering 725 this season added with 6 other Hawks that ended with double digits in this category which is a rarity but speaks to that comment above on how many other players have chipped in during this season.

Sophomore Kylee Goff led with 31 blocks with Gabby Fory next in line finishing with 24 with 3 other Lakesters also with double digit blocks. Te’a Gonzales (17), Kinsley Van Meter (16), and Preslie Owens (13).

     GO Lake & Be Bi-District Champs!

Owens started staring for these Hawks bout 10 games into this season in finishing volleys with 217 kills. This category also has three other players in double digits. Rodriguez (183), Chloe Gray (152), and Gabby Fory (151).

The Lake also has two Sophomores knocking on arriving in triple digits with lefty Gonzales (91) and Goff (87) once again showing how many weapons are on this club.

Aces has Izzy Fory and Rodriguez each with 41 with 6 more Hawks with double digits. Bottom line the depth throughout this line-up has seldom been seen in Volleyball to this degree.

So now it will be up to the Hawk Nation to be in attendance this Thursday to help give this Lake team the support to fly high and get a victory and another date for a chance to continue this season of win or go home.

Let’s GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball Team qualified for a post-season berth in their win over Bandera last Friday and will know this week who their opponent will be based on who wins the Legacy Ranch and Manor New Tech battle.

The last time CL had a post-season game was 2019 when The Lake Bi-District win was against Salado.

CLHS also reached the 20 win plateau which happened during that same 2019 season.

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal started, “I am so proud of the girls and so happy to see all of their hard work pay off! We have been talking about the goal of making playoffs since my first year, specifically for seniors Chloe Gray, Kylie Rodriguez, and Mackenzie Dorn, who have been striving toward this milestone since their sophomore year on varsity.”

“In the spring, the 5 seniors chose the quote “Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy” to emphasize that what it will take to reach our goal will not be easy but worth it,” Coach Villarreal continued realizing that CL’s district is one of the toughest in the state. “It has been a reminder that making playoffs in our tough district requires effort, perseverance, and strong mental toughness. It’s about learning how to overcome challenges, getting in extra reps and workouts, and pushing through moments when we are physically and mentally tired. All of this hard work is worth it when we reach our goals and celebrate the success!”

Wimberley (ranked 3rd) and Davenport (ranked 22nd) make up the top 2 district opponents that pose two major road blocks each season.

                   Way to Go Hawks!

“I am beyond grateful to coach these athletes as they are some of the most hardworking and coachable kids I’ve ever been around,” Coach Villarreal said in response on what she witnessed this season in reaching this first goal. “Their dedication to our team culture and shared goals has fueled tremendous growth for our program, both physically and mentally for all of our athletes.”

“As a coach, it’s a dream to provide tools for improvement and watch athletes absorb them, apply them immediately, and rise above challenges with resilience, and that is exactly what they have done,” Coach heaped praise, “I feel so blessed to coach these athletes, have a hard working coaching staff with Coach (Kara) Barnes and Coach (Trevor) Hamblet, and such a supportive community from the parents, admin, and teachers. It definitely takes a village to make it happen so thank you to everyone that made our goals possible!”

Senior Kylie Rodriguez reached the top of the All-Time Digs List in CL’s win over Bandera last week.

The Lake has two more contests this week and then will commence their playoff games at the end of next week possible Thursday.

Way to make us Proud and GO LAKE!

                        Let’s Go Hawks!

It was a tough week of work for a resilient Hawk team that had some soul searching after set-back against Somerset last week.

“The lessons we learned from last week..you know they say you learn more from a loss than a win,” Head Coach Sam Parker exclaimed after The Lake’s win over Ugalde. “Last week was humbling…the kids had a great week of practices and it showed..they did a great job preparing and it showed…and I couldn’t be more proud of our kids and how they responded from last week to this week.”

Canyon Lake started this game with a resolve, to the point,  of seeing that a misspelled Ugalde team needed a correction much like this Lake team did in preparing for this battle since leaving the Somerset city limits.

Last week’s loss would be akin for a Senior High School student not making it past the first round in a grade school spelling bee.

       Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Yes, The Lake, found that Uvalde should actually be spelled, Ugalde and made their corrections all week in preparation for this Homecoming contest.

According to Wikipedia: Uvalde was founded in 1853 as the town Encina, but was renamed in 1856 as Uvalde. Its name is a misspelling of the Spanish governor Juan de Ugalde (Cadiz, Andalusia, 1729-1816). Ugalde is a name of Basque origin, meaning water-side or river.

Case in point was watching Canyon Lake needing 3 plays for their first score when QB Jace Wheeler found Peyton King with a crowning 67 yard catch and run for that first score. That catch matched a former receiver, Chase Anderson who was in attendance on this homecoming night. That 67 yards is the 12th longest in Hawk Annals.

                 Way to Go Lake!

The Lake’s defense was next up in holding these Coyotes to 4 yards and punt which gave CL’s offense the ball for a two play drive that was capped off when Chris Brown broke open for a 34 yard scamper to pay-dirt and a quick, 13-0 Hawk lead.

Ugalde did show life on their next possession but this sequence of plays stalled after 16 plays and CL taking over needing 72 yards.

Four plays later with an added 15 yard Ugalde penalty after a Gram Simpson 24 run had The Lake using a 26 yard pass to Lucas Schexnayder (Spelling Bee Champ Based on his name) for his first touchdown this season and a Hawk, 20-0 first quarter lead.

Canyon Lake scored on their first 5 possessions when Simpson scored on his 6 yard carry and he accounted for all 43 yards during this drive.

The only drives CLake failed to score happened before half and end of game that made a statement, that lessons learned were correctable.  This was CL’s best game showing a balanced offense  finishing with 211 yards on the ground and 203 via the air.

Now The Lake will have this next week off before getting back to work for a big battle with Davenport in two weeks.

The best news is knowing that CANYON LAKE is spelled correctly and hopefully this group of players can go further when the season will bring more learning opportunity for future spelling bees.

Way to GO LAKE!
