Canyon Lake JV baseball team split their games with Navarro Panthers last Monday night at the

Hawk Diamond. Winning the first game 7-4 and coming out on the short end 13-8 in the nightcap.

The Hawks dug themselves in a hole in both games, but the second game their hole was much deeper than a Hawk could climb (or fly) out of.

“We started both games the same in making the same mistakes over and over,” Head JV Coach Brian Owens said. “I challenged them on communicating, but for the most part I was pleased with our pitchers.”

Canyon Lake did have some good pitching in that first game as Nick Kissell had a decent outing with Gordon McCleary closing out this contest.

The Hawks did have a little bit of fireworks as Austin Headrick hit a two run home run in the bottom of that fourth inning giving Canyon Lake their lead back after allowing the tying runs in the top of that same inning.

Boerne had a Triple-Play against the Hawks on Tuesday night’s loss to Canyon Lake, 13-3.

The good news is that a triple play means that CL had enough base runners to get that many players out on any given play.

With an eight run inning to start the game pretty much put this game away quickly as the Hawks were able to run rule the Greyhounds.

Ten players scored in this contest as Head Coach John Gallagher did all he could do to get playing time for his players.

McKenna Beseda continued her record setting season when she had two hits in that first inning as CL batted around the score book

First Inning At Bats:
1 Reached on Error (roe)
2 Batters Hit by Pitch (hbp)
3 Hits
3 Walks

(more…)

If Boerne is ranked in the Top 5 for the State of Texas, then based on the past two contests with the

Greyhounds, Canyon Lake should be ranked in the Top 10.

Simply put, the Hawks lost another one run game to a very sound baseball team and all they have to show for this outing is another loss.

However, that is not entirely true based on the level of play displayed on Tuesday night at the Hawk’s Baseball Diamond.

Travis Walker was nails on the mound as he held the Greyhounds to four hits and CL’s defense was just as impressive in helping to keep this game in doubt until that last out.

Walker had Boerne guessing at the plate as he threw the ‘eefus’ pitch with mastery.

“I’ve been throwing that pitch since I was 12 years old,” Walker recollected. “They called it the ‘Big Cheese’, and somedays it is on and somedays it is off.”

That pitch would be classified as being ‘on’ this evening.

The results have been updated again and The ReSporter has colored some District’s with Red, which indicates those two districts have just completed their Area Meet. You will notice that those times and distances have changed.

Here is the skinny for our Hawk participants for their next match up in Kingsville for

the Region Track Meet.

First off many of the schools that just finished their District Meet will now be off to an Area Meet to try and advance again.

The Hawks already know who will be at the Region Meet and the following results will show you how our Athletes stack up to the area students.

First off the information below is for the whole State of Texas, but you need to concentrate on the Region IV districts and at this writing there are only two besides CL’s District that is known.

District 25 and 26 will be one of the toughest for Canyon Lake to try and beat out for their spot at State.

Looking at these results from around the State, Marisa Ellis will be more challenged from those two earlier mentioned district’s results.

High Jump for the Boy’s so far has Jordan Anderson looking to have a good chance of advancing based on earlier results. With only two more districts to report, Anderson’s 6’6 leap has a good chance of advancing based on the results that are in from Region IV.

District 8-3A does have an athlete that has the same height as Anderson but that means a match-up at State.

Canyon Lake gave up their precious lead in the seventh inning and with that lead also gave up a chance for the playoffs.

The Hawks were playing with fire for much of this game as Wimberley had left 12 base runners stranded through the first six innings.

Canyon Lake had kept the Texans on those bases with no runs showing for a potent team batting average.

Texans’ on base percentage was .535 for the game.

Hits         11
Walks         8
Hit Batters   4

The Hawks were opportunistic by having some clutch outs.

Disappointing Track Meet for Canyon Lake as scratches and being DQ on the Relays were so dominant you needed a big eraser in order to take all those potential points that literally flew out the window.

There was some good news at this year’s event but so much bad happened you had to wonder if the Mayans were off a few months with their predictions of the world ending.

Three different Relays were DQ, two for the Boy’s and one that involved the Girl’s Track Team.

How about some good news:
Marisa Ellis came through with two first place finishes as she will try to add to Field Events to her State Track resume.

Ellis topped the 37 foot mark and also topped that High Jump bar with a 5’4 jump, which was two inches more than she had for this season.

Jordan Anderson also will be going to his third Region Tournament in Kingsville when he soared to a 6’2 inch High Jump. Anderson has a best of 6’6 at the Hawk Relays and tried for a personal best (6’7) after being the last Jumper standing.

All three of these marks are among the top in 3A meets that have been compiled up to this point.

The ReSporter will have some more research this weekend to give a better idea of where these two athletes stand as well as CL’s other qualifiers in this Region as well as in Texas.

The 1600 Meter Run was also a present surprise as Mike Russell has now broken his own record by another 6 seconds when he coasted across the finish line right in front of Senior Chris Neiland.

Canyon Lake had never had a runner break that 5 minute barrier and in this Meet had two on that same run.

That bodes well for future years as well as the JV Girls Team, who continued to impress with another good Meet.

Kaelin Simmons will have two chances at Regions when she will have an opportunity to compete in the Shot Put and Discus.

Canyon Lake could not get out of the quicksand at Wimberley Quick Sand Golf Course quick enough to have a chance of advancing in this year’s season.

A good year with several good tournaments but putting themselves in a hole on that first round of play was too much to overcome.

The Hawks will have a good nucleus coming back for next season and right now that will have to suffice as this group of players now are resting on the 19th hole.

Canyon Lake backs are up against a wall as they are drawing close to the end of this season schedule.

The Hawks could not find a bat large enough to gain any hits and if when a larger bat was found, then it proves to be too heavy to get around on the pitched ball.

Suffice to say the offense was dormant and only having six base runners did not give much chance for a rally being staged.

Canyon Lake will take the diamond this Friday at the Hawk Field when Wimberley comes to town.

The Hawks will need to sweep the rest of their games to give them a chance to making this year’s playoffs.

Two of the three games the Hawks have won in the first round and that will make the Wimberley game huge.

But help will also be needed, but first things first would be winning and then see what happens.

The JV game will start at 5pm and then first pitch for the Varsity will be 6pm.
