Number 6 for the count down will be a Girl’s Soccer game as the Hawks have continued to put competitive teams on the field since their first kick in 2010.
That 2010 team is still the only girls soccer team with a winning district record as this upstart team finished that year with an 8-5-1 slate and then became one of many teams to make the playoffs that second year of battles.

Next up for this year’s Top Ten was how well CL’s Football game with Austin Akins.
Canyon Lake had started the year strong but suffered two losses in a row and not knowing what a 6A team would bring to the table had some concerns for coaches and fans.
Akins was not a formidable team but drawing from many more students might pose a problem before games started in district play next up.

The ReSporter next Canyon Lake game article will come in a little more than 2 months as Volleyball will be going strong as August gets hot.
CL’s Volleyball team is still the only group to win a district championship and also sports the best team win percentage as this next season will have a lot of Freshman that will be classified as Sophomores as well as having several players that look to make a run for more accolades.
The ReSporter was able to catch up with Coach Paisley for a precursor for this coming school year.

Canyon Lake’s Track & Field Team will be next on the Best Of Countdown. There are some liberties taken in doing a series of articles of this magnitude.
First, there will be those who felt other games should have been on the list and another subject is where on the list those events rank.
Second, it is hard to put track athletes as a team when so many of the components are based on individuals coming together for amassing points.
Third, is a simple idea that you only know what you saw and many of the sports do not have the whole Hawk Nation in tune with games that were not on anyones radar.

The Track Season came to a close as Canyon Lake failed to have any of their Region Meet qualifiers able to make another step to the State Meet held in Austin this week.
That is not to say that this year’s version of Track & Field was a flop, but a quite different sensation for the Hawk athletes as there were many firsts for this season that will make next year’s season a, ‘can’t wait’, aspect.
