Canyon Lake’s Baseball team finally got their first district win when the Hawks used a .576 on base percentage in getting 11 runs for this come back victory.

Avery Montgomery and Gavin Dietrich pitch gem in win over Yoakum

“I had a good feeling about that 6 run inning,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant stated clairvoyantly. “I just felt something as we have been getting better every game and in every practice. The game is starting to slow down for them.”

The Yoakum Bulldogs were already chewing on their bone with a 6-2 lead after the first 3 innings but that was when the Hawks would swoop in for a steal, taking that bone from the Dogs.

CL used a 9 unanswered runs during those middle innings as Avery Montgomery settled in, on the pitching mound, while the Hawks manufactured 8 consecutive batters to reach base safely and resulting in 6 runs.

This inning had one play that would give the Hawks a ton of confidence and it came as a missed suicided squeeze play that had Cade Dunavant in a pickle being almost home and survival mode.

Track and Field Coach Troy Moses

The ReSporter: Right now you are in the midst of figuring out a chess match. What is the biggest challenge as you enter the names for next week’s Meet?
Coach Moses: “This is a unique year, just because we have so many talented young men. The biggest challenge is not knowing what the other schools are going to do!!!! There are so many different scenarios. We just have to go with what we feel will help us get as many points as possible.”

The ReSporter: The scrimmage yesterday hopefully answered some questions for what happens next week, can you give us some idea of how closer you are to figuring out how you will run the Relays vs. Open Events?
Coach Moses: “Our number one goal is to win the Team Championship!! We look to score big points in Open Events first, then place people in relays.” (more…)

                        Go Hawks!!

The ReSporter: This is when you earn the Big Bucks, how hard is it in putting the athletes with the events?

Coach Barthels: “This is the time that we take each girl’s strengths and put them in events that can keep as many girls continuing to the area meet as possible.”

The ReSporter: How do you differentiate between running as an individual vs. putting that person on a relay team?

Coach Barthels: “Everyone wants to win the relays, I am guilty as well, but when you look at numbers and points it gets dicey. Four of your fastest girls can get a total of 20 points on a relay, If you were to use those girls in individual events and could place 1-4 that is worth 28 points…not that you could do that, but it is something I consider when putting girls in events for district. We compare times and combinations of girls that have run the relays and figure which girls can A. Get the points you need and B. Place in the top 4 spots to move on to the next meet. So I have a lot of work to do between now and Sunday when our entries are due.” (more…)

CL will travel to Dripping Springs tomorrow to get a final idea of how they will go into the fires and bring home two championships next week.

This meet had Navarro and Wimberley in attendance and winning became more of a moral boost.

The ReSporter has incomplete numbers as we still wait for Canyon Lake’s results from their Texan’s Relays.

Those times and distances below have the date that those events happened for those individuals.

Note that you don’t know how the conditions might have been for those results and we also do not know if their are injury problems for any of the athletes.

The ReSporter has CL’s Junior Varsity on the list below where that will not be the case for those other schools.

          Go HAWKS

Canyon Lake errors matched La Vernia’s hits in another district loss, 16-4.

The Hawks lost their gloves in this loss after giving up 16 runs in which 15 were unearned.

Those numbers make it hard for any team to get in a win column as the first round of district games come to a close with CL still looking for their first win.

All is not lost as Canyon Lake have several close losses and still have a chance of turning this season around.
