Addison Ray and Chandra Wise team up for win over Cuero Gobbler’s

Canyon Lake’s JV Softball team is still, relatively speaking, a new entity as the Hawks have not had enough players in the past to field such a club.

Last season’s JV team had three players starting on the Varsity squad as freshman and even for this season, CL has a pitcher playing a prominent role on this year’s Hawk team as a freshman.

Suffice to say, winning had not been something that came easily for this team.

On Tuesday night, the Hawks rushed out to a five run first inning and rode that Gobbler to the finish line, winning, 7-6.

Twelve players saw action with many of the key plays coming in those later innings when some of the players who started the game on the bench came through defensively in preserving the lead and win.

CLJV started the game scoring 5 runs with the first inning being halted with only one out being recorded by Cuero.

Senior Evan Schuller finishes strong with Canyon Lake Sports

Canyon Lake seems to have a disease that goes around about this time of the year that affects many students.

Senior(itis) seems to be more of a problem at CL than other schools.

A look at schools like Fredericksburg and Yoakum, you will see track teams that have a lot of athletes that are finishing the race as they finish out their high school career.

Evan Schuller is bucking that (itis) trend as he is very involved as he finishes his playing days being involved with 5 track events.

“I did not do any track but Coach wanted me to get involved in my Junior year for football,” Schuller said.

Now Schuller is liking track and is all in for his final year of school, since he does not have another year of football, therefore nothing to be held accountable by coaches.

Texas RV supports Canyon Lake Softball

Canyon Lake’s backs are against the wall after losing to Cuero at home Tuesday night, 11-4.

The Hawks could have been in good shape if they had beaten the Gobblers, with a sweep, CL would have had a chance to advance on their own terms.

Now, Canyon Lake will need to rely on other teams to win or lose to open a playoff door for this season.

Two more games on the schedule and then when the dust settles, Canyon Lake will have to be sure their are no hanging chads in order to proceed.

Cuero took the lead in Tuesday’s game with a run in the first inning without recording a hit.

Kelsey Ahrens would then tie the score with a hit that sailed over the fence in right center field and the game was even.

In the third inning, Canyon Lake would lose the lead and game for good after a towering 3- run homer off the bat of the Gobblers catcher that would spell doom for the Hawks.

Sean Nolan is awarded First Team All-District this past season.

Canyon Lake had some individual awards in Basketball as Senior Sean Nolan took down the nets making District 26-4A First Team All District.

Nolan set several records this past season as he was a Rock of Gibraltar for the Hawks all season long.

Finishing with 220 points and 207 rebounds was a good start in showing other teams they might have to game plan around this young man.

More than that was his 55 blocked shots which certainly helped this season in slowing down opposing team’s offense.

Nolan also led the Hawk team in field goal percentage with a lofty .575 number.

Canyon Lake lost a hard fought Area Round Playoff against Liberty Hill, 2-0 last Thursday at The Hawk Stadium.

Liberty Hill had given up just 18 goals for the season as their defense was the difference in this game as the Panthers came out of the gates firing and going up 1-0 with less than a minute gone in the first half.

Another score five minutes into this game would be more than enough for a win as Canyon Lake threatened on several tries just coming up empty.

The Hawks had Alexa Ramos as their goalie which turned out to be a double edge sword as CL was also giving up one of their more accomplished scorers with the trade off.

A wind that was blowing south to north also caused some missed opportunities as Ramos kicks would clear the whole field allowing the Panthers goalie to retrieve the ball without a Hawk being able to run down the ball and a chance for a goal.
