Canyon Lake had another close loss as this year is coming to a close to the Hondo Owls, 47-43.

“We played hard and I am pleased with our effort,” Head Coach Zach Burleson said. “I told the girls that they make me proud to be a part of Canyon Lake….game wise, we just were not able to convert enough on the offensive end.”

The Hawks did have another good game in holding Hondo to 47 points which gave CL a good chance for a comeback in the 4th quarter.

Hondo had been held to this low in scoring points 5 games this season and did bring the Owls to 15 points lower than their previous outing in an earlier have this year.

Canyon Lake (15-12) wins their first road game since the Christmas Break opening a nice, 55-45 present at Hondo this past Tuesday.

“I thought we did good as we grinded out a tough win against a desperate team,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman assessed. “Defensively we really locked in and played well.”

CL held the Owl’s leading scorer to pedestrian numbers helping the Hawks to keep a comfortable lead.

“Our focus was stopping their point guard,” Coach Chapman said. “He averages about 15 points a game, and we held him to 5 point and that came at late in the game.”

Canyon Lake’s Freshman team started with a spark but in those two middle quarters that spark was doused with some shaky shooting and 12 turnovers giving Boerne all they needed to survive, 44-36.

The Hawks finished with 3 players getting to double figures but the other players were as cold as ice totaling 4 points as reinforcements did not get back in time to save this Hawk Team.

Softball’s Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter: What can you tell us about the team as the time nears?

Coach Gallagher: “Since starting last week everyone has worked very hard and continues to get better and learn. We have some girls working to get noticed and their efforts have been admirable. Our returners are looking good and are getting into a groove both on offense and defense.

The ReSporter: Will you have enough for two teams this year?

Coach Gallagher: “Our numbers right now are good but not everyone is out because of basketball and swimming. We are hoping to get even more out this week.”

The ReSporter: The defense was your achilles heal last season, what can you tell us about that part of your team?

Coach Gallagher: “Defensively I see a stronger and deeper team. We have some options to work with at several positions which is always nice. The outfielders have some strong and accurate arms and I am very happy with their play so far. The infielders are very competitive and showing some very athletic skills.” (more…)

Canyon Lake’s Football team had their awards banquet last Thursday and announced the all-district and other accolades for a team that finished the highest in district since the school started in 2008 season.

That 2nd Place finish has left some unfinished business for Canyon Lake when next ye

   Way to Go Hawks

ar starts in August.

Canyon Lake did have young man who excelled and those long awaited mentions are below.

A final record of 7-4 had the Hawks needing one more win to match the best campaign in CL’s history when the 2011 team had an 8-2 final tally.

Heath McDonough made All-District on offense as well as defensive side of the ball. You could also add a decent punt return for a touchdown on special teams but not good enough for a district mention on that front.

    Michael Carpenter dribbles ball to give the offense another chance for a goal in Win over Floresville 

The Boy’s Soccer Team won their 8th game last Friday matching their win total from last season with a, 4-0 victory over Floresville.

Another game with an abundance of players getting into the act with goals and assists.

At this same time last season, Canyon Lake, had a 4-4 record compared to a sparkling 8-3 count this year.

“I feel we are more team-oriented this year,” Head Coach Warren Graham commented. “We are moving the ball well and playing great defense….the boys are unselfish and that was very evident tonight.”

         Players that scored a Goal:         Mason Blackburn    Grayson Rohrbacher
                                             Jordan Sczech      Nash Young

Cassidy Felps ready for personal bests at District.

Canyon Lake’s Swimming Team had their best showing since their inception as they will be sending 12 athletes to the Region Meet next week in Rosenberg on Thursday.

“Saying that we had an Extremely Successful District Meet on Friday would be a huge understatement,” Head Swimming Coach Kim Moses divided the Red Sea. “We are so proud of every swim team member and look forward to our next steps.”

The Boy’s team had a 4th place finish while the ladies finished in the 9th spot as the team standing was an impressive 6th place at the meet.

A Swimming team will have to compete with larger schools on many occasions since not every school will have a swim team.

Hawk Boy’s JV got their 11th straight win after catching the *rabbit and game, 44-36 over Boerne JV.

CLJV is now 4-0 in District 28-4A play and will start the 2nd round next week when they travel to Hondo.

Mike Miller Time on the Court in Win over Boerne 

The Hawks beat the Greyhounds to the rabbit as Canyon Lake had to work out of a 22-17 deficit in starting the 2nd half.

This game was won in the 3rd quarter when the Hawks raced out with a, 19-5 advantage. Offense and Defense was on a grand scale as everything in this 3rd quarter went like clock work.

Starters and the bench were on the same page as foul trouble did not deter the resolve this Hawk team that has one goal and that is finishing this year with a 15 game winning streak.

During that second half blitz, Zach Taliaferro had a nifty no-look perfect pass to Anthony Zavala for a high octane points that put the crowd in hyper speed.
