Coaches Corner with Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: Hey Coach a tough ending to your season, what happened?

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

Coach Paisley: “I would like to start off by saying, that I enjoyed my first volleyball season with Canyon Lake. I have had amazing help from my assistants and athletic girls coordinator and AD. The girls have been eager to learn and excited for the new things to come. I feel that overall we have played well and improved from day one. Our skills did not decline the second round, it was the lack of knowledge and sheer fight that stumped us in the second round.”

The ReSporter: What would you do different, knowing what you know now after your first year at Canyon Lake?

Matthew Rhodes, Parker Reno, and Bryce Pearson after a successful season.

Mountain Valley climbed a mountain from the Valley and scored a big win over Navarro, 36-16 last Thursday at Hawk Field.

This game did not start well for MV as the Panthers took a quick three play drive 55 yards, putting Mountain Valley in a valley to start this affair.

Mountain Valley however would answer on their ensuing drive when Rolando Maronge capped a 65 yard drive from 26 yards out converting a fourth down with a touchdown.

The Hawks then proceded to get two defensive stops that was sandwiched with a fumbled punt giving Navarro a continuation of their drive.

Jesse Sarmiento helped even that turnover battle intercepting Navarro’s first pass of the game giving the Hawks possession and a chance to right the ship.

A methodical 8 play drive that still left too much time on the clock after Parker Reno converted a quarterback sneak.

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, how has this week’s practices been going?

Coach Fields: “Very well this week, this week has been very intense, they have had focus, and they are ready to play the game.”

The ReSporter: What do you concentrate on this time of the season in your practices?

Coach Fields: “We try to eliminate our mental mistakes.”

The ReSporter: What does that mean….give us some examples of mental mistakes.

Coach Fields: “Missed blocking assignments and working on tackling and getting in position to have better angles. We still have not played our best game of the year.”

The ReSporter: What has been your best game so far this season?

Hawk Girl’s Basketball starts in Johnson City with a win

Canyon Lake started off their season with a win over a depleted Johnson City squad, 76-25.

Yes, JC had some Varsity girls prepping themselves for a State Cross Country Meet and that left this team without many of it’s stalwarts.

The irony might be that CL’s team is so young that this might have been classified as a Junior Varsity game instead.

The Hawks shot 46% from the field while forcing more steals than turnovers committed.

Canyon Lake had four players in double digit scoring led by Freshman Mia Riali with 14 points.

Girls Basketball is knocking on the door as Canyon Lake will be rebuilding this year after losing

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

several Seniors from last year’s team.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach Gallagher, how are things looking as you start practices?

Coach MaryBeth Gallagher: “We have had the Volleyball girls for only two practices so we are still working those girls in. But we are in our third week of practice and overall this year will mainly be learning the game on a deeper level because of our young players.”

The ReSporter: What do you feel will be your identity?

Coach Gallagher: “We will impress teams with our defense…that will keep us in the games. Our goal is to continue to teach defense as a team and hard nose and get after them defense.”

The ReSporter: How has your offense been developing?

Coach Gallagher: “We lost a lot of our scorers and will need to teach the offensive side and try to use our speed. We have a lot more speed than we have had in the past and we have some height and some good guards.”

Key Plays in Canyon Lake’s Victory over Boerne

The Hawks had a game that will rank right up there with the Sealy game two years ago in excitement, as CL wrestled and fought for a nine point win last week after being down 22 points with 5:40 left in the third quarter.

There were many highlights and The ReSporter will replay some of those key plays from this victory.

1. After a long Canyon Lake first drive and no points ending with an interception, Boerne was poised to take a 14 point lead.
