Caimen McDonough was one of several basketball players ready to jump to new heights for Track

Canyon Lake came out of their blocks in good fashion after their second week of action this time at the Lobo Relays at Hays High School.

Not as many teams at this meet which cleared the field and allowed a much higher point total for both the JV and Varsity teams.

The JV Boys finished 2nd for the second straight week behind Hays and with 36 more points to boot leaving CL one point better than San Marcos.

Canyon Lake had some points from those distance events. Matt Bell finished 1st and 2nd in the 1600 & 800 running events. Bell’s mile run was 7 seconds better than his run at the Hawk Relays. The 1600 run was the 4th best in Hawk history and improving 4 more seconds will have his name below that 5 minute barrier.

Canyon Lake’s Lady Soccer team had their best regular season win on Friday night when the Hawk’s beat Fredericksburg, 1-0 for their second district win in a row.

The last time CL had a two game winning streak for district contests was back during the 2010 season. That Hawk team finished their district slate with an 8-5-1 record.

This win over the Billies was the 2nd time in 11 games, the last time CL won this match-up was during the 2014 season when the Hawks won, 3-0.

Maggie Banks is making deposits as this Softball Season continues.

Canyon Lake’s Softball squad had their 2nd Tournament where they finished 2nd as they lost a coin flip with Navarro to break the first place tie.

A tie is what happened in CL’s game with the Panthers, as that game finished knotted up with both teams finishing the Hill Country Tournament with the same amount of points. Wimberley finished 3rd for this completed round robin affair.

“I thought we played very well,’ Head Coach John Gallagher started. “The Navarro game was tough for us to get anything going but we did capitalize on walks and wild pitches to score….a couple of big hits by their bottom of the order got them back in the game and time ran out.”

Saturday had Canyon Lake back in the saddle with a run-a-way win over Luling, 12-0 and a comeback win over John Paul II after scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning for that final victory.

  Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake started their Hill Country Classic Tournament with two wins on Thursday morning as the Hawks continued their hot streak from he batter’s box scoring 15 runs in those two contests.

In the first game, the Hawks, rushed out to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings and road those runs to the finish line beating the Panthers, 3-2.

Bailey Bryan reached base via a walk and stole 2nd base where she was scored when Maddy Puente singled Byran in. Canyon Lake loaded the bases after that run but ran out of outs and left the bases loaded.

How good was this year’s Seniors for the Hawk Basketball team?   This will go down as the best Senior Class, as this group of players had to overcome years of bad karma in the Hawk Hoop World.

The ReSporter will base this article on the past two years, but some of these Seniors contributed to the Hawk basketball team for a 3 year period.

Tyler Williams and Rory Preiss were two of those mainstays that played well enough as Freshman to catch the eye of Head Coach Lucas Chapman.

Canyon Lake only had platitudes for that old saying, ‘ we will get them next year’.

The Hawks could not get their last 3point shot off as time ran out on Canyon Lake in a razor thin loss to Navarro in Bi-District Playoffs, 46-43.

“I was very proud of our guys and how hard we competed. We certainly didn’t come out on top due to lack of effort,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “We had some guys step up and play really good games. Tyler did an outstanding job for us. He protected the paint and basket well and pretty much shut down their big man. Charlie (McIntosh) came in and gave us some great minutes.  Jacob (Ramirez) played a really solid all around game. There were others too.”

Canyon Lake had the opportunities as the Hawks started the game with a solid first quarter but a repeat of their first game with the Panthers boomeranged after scoring 7 points while Navarro poured in 18 in taking a halftime lead, 30-23.

 Young Life says Go Hawks

The Hawks Track & Field Teams had impressive starts for this year’s season, as Canyon Lake jumped off into the year with an improving motif takes shape as each passing week will culminate with the District 28-4A Meet in April.

There were 14 schools in attendance for the all-day festivities as each running event had athletes running not knowing if their time would be good enough for placing.

Kenneth Jowers moved up to 3rd place in the Hawk 100 meter event as he started his year with a 11.31 dash.

Chance Martelli shaved a second off his previous 400 meter best while moving up to 5th place on the all-time Hawk list. Matthew Bell moved up on the Mile Run by improving his time by 8 seconds and now resides in 7th place in that category for Canyon Lake.

In those throwing events, Jacob Foster and Bradley Hight both entered the top 10 for Hawk Discus participants, now holding in the 7th and 8th spots respectfully.

Rachel Bennett will be ready for turn-a-round game in Bandera on Tuesday

The Lady Hawk Soccer Team was close in their loss to Wimberley as the Texans left the CL’s Nest with a 3-1 victory leaving the Hawks needing a win this Tuesday on their road trip to Bandera.

Canyon Lake had the game tied with less than 6 minutes to go in the contest when Wimberley scored and took the contest to their eventual score of, 3-1.

“This was disappointing,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney stated. “Bandera is a winnable game for us and we will have to beat them…..we are passing better and we are playing with a lot of physicality.”

The Hawks had battled back against the Texans as this contest did not get out of reach until the last two minutes to this 12 win state ranked school.
