Canyon Lake finished 0fer in their last two games of the Blanco Holiday Hoopfest Tournament on

Sophomore Haden Lee is looking to improve as District 27-3A nears

Saturday.

The Hawks lost their first game, 61-44 to Port Aransas and then finished with a hard fought loss to Llano, 56-46 in the night cap.

CL had a problem getting out of the gate in both affairs after accounting for only 7 points in each game.

However the second quarter was a team that played with rhythm as in each case the Hawks held their own or was able to chip away at the deficit.

Andrew Riali took top honors again in being the Hawk’s best scorer with a 14 and 11 point games.

The Hawks started District 27-3A on Friday night with a rude awakening as Fredericksburg put a lid on the Hawks basket winning, 44-20.

There was good news and bad news as this game finished the first quarter.

Good News? Canyon Lake shot 100% from the field.

Bad News? The Hawks shot had 2 shots and 11 turnovers which gives you a hint why only two shots were recorded.

Canyon Lake with all of their bad vibes for this game found themselves down, 17-11 with five minutes remaining in the third quarter.

“We had a good defensive effort,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher exclaimed. “It took us a while but we finally ran a good fast break off of their press.”

Sophomore Sarah Schneider came off the bench and finished with 6 points to lead the Hawks.

Amber Ramsey also had a good stat line with 2 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocked shots, while pulling down 9 rebounds.

Points were hard to come by as Canyon Lake turned the ball over 29 times which would be 29 times the Hawks did not have a chance to score.

The Hawks will now go on the road for a game with Bandera on Tuesday in what will be an early must win for this young club.

===============================================

The Hawks Junior Varsity played just three quarters in loss to the Billies JV team in a 39-22 loss.

Kirsten Jones working on Basketball skills as season progresses

Another game where the Hawks found themselves down, 28-21 going into the fourth quarter and then had a hard time getting points to carry the game out to the finish.

One point in the quarter on a Keirsten Jones free throw would be the only point for Canyon Lake which would be way too little to keep the game competitive.

“We need to keep running our plays correctly,” Jones said. “Talking on the court will let us know what is going on.”

Canyon Lake had not been pressed that many times this season and Fredericksburg was running the press non-stop in this game. Hence the 31 turnovers.

“Just recently we have been getting pressed more,” Jones pressed an answer. “We need to do a better job of setting up our offense as fast as possible.”

On what she hopes this Hawk team can improve upon, Jones offered, “We all hope to make our shots and work on breaking the press especially in District.”

Sydney Johnson did finish the game with 9 points and was high point for Canyon Lake.

Canyon Lake will travel to Bandera next Tuesday and will see if their game is improving.

Good Luck….

Heritage at the Blanco Holiday Hoopfest Tournament.

Skyler Tschoepe and Andrew Riali were the recipients as the rest of the Hawks followed suit and finished off their counterparts.

Tschoepe finished the day with 28 points and 18 rebounds for the two games and seems to be getting his basketball legs as this season matures into district play.

“I worked hard in practice,” Tschoepe said. “We worked on fast break drills but football and basketball is night and day difference on the type of shape you need to be in.”

Tschoepe was strong around the rim and scored most of his points inside the paint.

“I need to be strong with the ball underneath,” Tschoepe closed. “We need to play and get better on how we played today and play fast.”

Andrew Riali finished his two game stint with double/doubles with points and rebounds.

Riali’s two game totals were impressive with 21 points and 20 rebounds.

Mountain Valley Middle School 8th Grade is just one year away from walking down Canyon Lake High

Eric Hill, Hank Jordan, and Lee Stafford getting together after a win over Bandera

School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.

The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.

MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.

Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.

Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but  it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.

Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

The ReSporter: As District 27-3A looms in the next few days, The ReSporter would like to get a mid season update from Coach Mary Beth Gallagher before the start of district play against Fredericksburg at the Hawk Gym on January 3rd with tip-off for Junior Varsity 4:30 and Varsity 6:00pm.

The ReSporter: How has your young team progressed during this pre district games?

Coach Gallagher: “Well we have progressed and we are now focused on the details of our offense.”

The ReSporter: What are you needing from those players to do in order to give your team a chance to compete?

Coach Gallagher: “We have to do the little things like set good screens, make smart passes and finish shots to win in district. We know we will have to beat Wimberley and Bandera both times and we would love to take a win from one of the other three.”

play a tribute to this group of players.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.

Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

The stats below were compiled based on home games this season for both A and B squads.

Matt Magness holds CL record for most touchdowns receiving

The ReSporter was bored during the Christmas Break and studied all of the scores since competition started and recorded those students with longest touchdowns by receiving and rushing.

There are a few players that most fans will remember after seeing this list and will help you put those scores in perspective.

First item The ReSporter noted was how unique a player Doug Hubnik was for the Hawks.

Hubnik while playing for CL scored several ways.
Interception Return against Luling during the 2011.
Kick-off return against Luling during that same game.
Receiving several times during his two year offensive career.
Rushing while being a QB during the La Grange game in 2011.
