Canyon Lake finds ‘It’ in win over Boerne, 63-56 at the Hawk Nest, as this game finished the first round of District 28-4A contests. CL stands all alone in 2nd place and now will work on bigger goals as this season continues.

“That was awesome,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman started. “I am proud of the guys…our team executed and competed for the majority of the game and that was the most emotion this year.”

Coach Chapman studied hard for this game and the fruits of that labor tasted good.

“Boerne was constantly playing catch-up and we really prepared for it as the kids were locked in,” Chapman said excitedly. “They executed the scouting report….especially on defense.”

Ian Hasness after finishing 2nd Place at Judson HS

Canyon Lake’s Tennis Team went to the Judson ISD Tournament last weekend and competed with the big schools as the Spring Season continues sprout as the weather gets warmer and days start to elongate.

“We started the tournament with a 2 and half delay due to the fog and dew on the courts,” Head Tennis Coach Kirstin McStravick said. “I am proud to announce our very own Ian Hasness got 2nd place at the tournament.”

Hasness won the first game, 6-3 and then his opponent had the same score against Ian in the second game which had both combatants having a tiebreaker that Hasness took by a convincing, 10-2 score.

The Boy’s Soccer team put a whippen on La Vernia, 7-3 as the Hawks got offensive in this blow out.

Those 7 goals has this year’s team with 31 for the year and now needs just 4 more to pass last year’s total and have the most in their history.

There was a two year drought during the ’13-’14 seasons when those two campaigns could only muster 10 total goals combined.

Grayson Rohrbacher scored 4 goals and James Alexander, Matthew Bell, and Jordan Sczech rounded out the scoring.

Hawks in District Meet this Saturday. Go Hawks!

Canyon Lake will go to the Pool this Saturday for their last Team Meet as many Hawk swimmers look to move on in qualifying for Regionals.

The ReSporter: What does the Swim Team have in returning swimmers and how will that help finish this season?

Coach Kim Moses: “The CLHS Swim Team is returning 14 swimmers from last year’s team – we have grown considerably this year and have doubled our numbers (28 total swimmers). We have a very strong freshmen group that have helped to fill spots in individual events as well as relays. We’ve also had a number of former swimmers decide to compete at the HS level and some “newbies” to the sport that have done an awesome job! We have incorporated daily/weekly weight training, strength and conditioning, and even some stretching and yoga – it’s amazing how these minor changes have added up to major results.”

The ReSporter: How well has this group performed up to this time period? (more…)

The Hawk Girl’s Soccer continues to have a strong season as they turned the tables on La Vernia with a, 1-0 victory on Tuesday night, reversing that same score LV scored against Canyon Lake earlier this season.

“For our team to get a win against a team we previously lost to, pretty much evens the score,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney commented. “In my eyes the scores are just settled, what I took away from this game was how we won.”

CL’s defense has been guarding the net like Trump wants to guard the border as no Hawk opponent has scored more than one goal in any game up to this point of the schedule.

                            Megan Browning

The ReSporter has learned that the Hawk Family has lost a beautiful young lady and wanted the community to know of a memorial service for Megan Browning this Saturday, will be held, at Canyon Lake High School.

Megan was an all around sport athlete as there was not a sport she did not participate in.

She led the Hawks in Assists in her Senior Year for Volleyball and was part of the first ever Hawk Sport Team to qualify for the Playoffs in CL’s second year of competition.

When Volleyball was over there would have no moss growing around Megan as she would be an active participant for the Hawk’s Basketball squad next.

The Canyon Lake Classic Boy’s Soccer Tournament ended with the Hawks taking a nail-biter loss, 2-1 on Saturday at the Hawk Nest.

“There was a lot of good stuff that came out of this tournament,” Head Coach Warren Graham started. “We got a lot of experience as a result of this game. This will prepare us for district and we are looking forward to it.”

Bandera only took one minute to take their first lead of this game as CL looked dazed in starting this Championship match.

The Bulldogs are also in the same District as the Hawks and have just one loss this season finishing as top bullDog in the tournament with a 7-1 record.

CL did well after winning their first 3 games as Brayden Damico did not allow a goal those first 3 contests.

The Lady Hawks will have a tough climb to reach the playoff podium after a hard fought loss to Bandera last Friday night, 50-39.

The ReSporter has commented on how tough District 28-4A is and Bandera took care of a Hondo Owl team in their first district game that made a statement that the Bulldogs would not be an easy foe on your schedule either.

CL Hawks JV win 10th game in a row over Bandera as the Lake’s Defense took center stage in grinding out this win, 33-26.

“We did not hit our shots,” Head JV Coach Hooper said. “We grinded out a win and sometimes it is not pretty but we will take it.”

Spoken like a Dad of the 7 ugly ducklings while trying to put make-up on those Hawks.
