Head Soccer Coach Ryan Tierney

The ReSporter: Hey Coach could you give us what is next for this year’s soccer team?

Coach Tierney: “As far as the bracket we are still working out the details.  Canyon Lake will get a first round bye and it looks like we will play the winner of the Bi-District game between the Third Place 25-4A district vs. the Second place in 26-4A District.  From what I have seen and heard from other coaches, we will play the winners of Liberty Hill vs. Taylor.”

The ReSporter: How would you describe your overall picture of this year’s team?

Coach Tierney: “The over all picture of this team is Progress.  We have consistently progressed in all aspects of our game.  The passing, the defending, the understanding of team play and the implementation of physicality. We are in one of the toughest districts and regions in the state.  We do not get a break from game to game and the playoffs are going to be the same.  But because of our tough district, we have become a hardened team that is conditioned to play at a high level.” (more…)

Gordon the Plumber Supports Hawk’s Baseball

Canyon Lake’s baseball team name has now been introduced in the definition for, futility, as the Hawks have now been shut-out 4 straight games, 2-0 in Cuero last Friday.

CL has a batting average of .106 during this streak as the Hawk pitchers had another game keeping Canyon Lake close enough for a win as their bats have grown cold.

The two pitchers that started those last two games were the only Hawks to have a hit in this game, Cody Powell with a double.

Lauren Mentzer comes on to relieve Alexis Robinson and gets her first district win.

Canyon Lake won another thriller this time over Cuero to draw their district record to even (2-2) at the conclusion of their second week of  district competition, 7-6.

“I had a good feeling about this game,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “They kept moving the game up until they decided on a 2pm start. “I also felt good with our 5-1 lead.”

“Being on the road and seeing a team we had not seen before, tells you how good our team stayed together even after those errors that helped tie the score, they did not fold.”

This time, the Hawks, called on Freshman Lauren Mentzer in the 5th inning and she did not give up a hit with her stint in the circle.

“Lauren (Mentzer) came on and did a good job,” Coach Gallagher said the obvious.

Mentzer only had one walk in her 3 innings which gave Canyon Lake something that you just can’t emphasize enough.

Cody Powell has hard luck loss after striking out 13 Panthers on Tuesday night

Canyon Lake lost a pitching duel on Tuesday night as Navarro scored their one run in the top of the first and made it stand as Senior Cody Powell finished with 13 strikeouts in this affair, 1-0.

The Hawks have now gone three games without a run and will need to dig deep to get out of their funk before the Friday game in Cuero.

“If we don’t score runs then we will not win,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said staring into the infield. “We have to find some way to get them (runners) in and do something…a strikeout is the worst outcome in those situations and we just could not make it happen.”

Navarro’s Ripke matched Powell’s 13 strikeouts and threw 16 first pitch strikes being ahead in the count for most of the night.

“We struck out way too many times tonight,” Dunavant said.

Canyon Lake will need to take classes on what it takes to blow out a team as the Hawks once again played with danger, winning with the bases loaded over Navarro, 3-2.

Alexis Robinson has her arm iced down because of how hard she hit her home-run!!

“It was obviously a big motivator and it will help put us up mentally as we go into our game Friday,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We had been in an uphill battle and we were just not finishing.”

Navarro scored one run in the second and third innings after the first batter led off with a walk, which resulted in pressure for CL as they would have to beat the Panthers Ace Cowan with very little being shown in those first three innings.

Kirsten Jones was the spark in that fourth inning as she had a perfect bunt single with one out to get things going. Jones extended her hitting streak to four games with the hit.

Alexis Robinson would be the Hawks next hitter and a 7 pitch battle ended with a shot over the left field fence where cars driving into the sports complex might have had a chance of reported seeing ‘softball’ size hail falling.

“I was expecting to hit the ball and just make contact,” Robinson said. “I wasn’t expecting a home run.”

Canyon Lake ended their San Marcos Tournament and week with a dominating win when they lapped El Paso Socorro, 15-1 Saturday.

Kelsey Ahrens getting an out.

It only took the Hawks two innings to get this game called as they had their largest rally in their school history scoring 15 runs.

Canyon Lake ended their week with just one win against Socorro and those two last inning losses to Yoakum and Gonzales in District 26-4A still stinging.

Hopefully the 15 run inning will get the offense going again for a team with four players batting with a .400 or over average.

Carly Dubois had 6 hits for the tournament as she did her job as the lead off hitter.

With games at home against Navarro and Friday at Cuero, the Hawks can’t wait too long to start responding in district play.

Go Hawks!! (more…)
