Canyon Lake JV Baseball team split a double header with Bandera, Monday night at the Hawk Diamond

Pitcher Austin Headrick

The Hawks were a different team when they took the field for the nightcap.

“Coach (Brian Owens) challenged our manhood,” Colton Avey said after commenting how bad their first game was played. “That got us fired up!”

The split was a result of good defense and even better pitching.

How good? Try these stats out for size.

Bandera’s pitcher threw 35 pitches in his first inning of work.
Austin Headrick pitched 30 pitches for the entire game.

How about three outs on three pitches in his final inning.

“I have only done that once when I was eight,” Pitcher Headrick recollected. “I was really focused and Coach really wanted us to turn it around after the loss and get some enthusiasm.”

The Hawks District Track team has had a couple of meets to get some idea of where they might

Canyon Lake getting the Jump on the Competition

stand against their District 27-3A brethren.

Below you will find out based on CL’s best times and distances compared with athletes from other district teams.

Notice that you will see names of the events followed by where they would stack up with opponents.

Also, number notations will indicate the date of when said athlete performed their time. Hence a 2.23 would let you know the month and date of that performance.

Numbers at the end of each line will give you how much that event would be worth for the District teams.

Jordan Anderson’s first place time in the 100 Meter Dash would be worth 10 points for Canyon Lake.

The numbers below represent what each District 27-3A school has performed at their different

Canyon Lake Tracksters

meets so far in this young season.

If you combine all the times and distances for each event then you can have an idea of where each district team might fall if the District Meet was held today.

Have a look at how your Hawks are doing. The ReSporter has also added the Junior Varsity on these events.

Left Fielder Cody Powell

Canyon Lake could not hold onto a two run lead in the seventh inning and end up giving a game to Wimberley in extra innings, 4-3.

The Hawks were progressing through the game with timely double plays and hitting while forging to what seemed to be a comfortable win.

Then two hit batters to start the seventh inning ended up scoring on the Texans only hit of that stanza and tying the game which eventually led to this heartbreaking loss.

Daniel Camarillo started the game with a double in the gap and scored the Hawks opening run when the Texans pitcher wild pitched him home on a bang…bang play at the plate.

Canyon Lake drew blood again in the third when Peyton Sipila singled with one out and advanced to second on catcher’s indifference.

Enter Cody Powell, who proceeded to have a seven pitch at bat and he finally found a pitch to handle scoring Sipila with a single.

That at bat by Powell had six of those seven pitches in the strike zone and speaks well for a great at bat. Powell ended this game with three hits.

The Hawks last score was ln the next inning when CL had two outs that were made on the base paths.

With Camarillo advancing to third with Travis Walker’s hard grounder in the hole, the ball hit Camarillo’s foot resulting in runner’s interference and an automatic out.

Walker’s hit would of scored Camarillo, but all CL had to show for this first out of the inning was two runners on and one out.

J. J. Nance with the Team watching on

The Hawks evened their district record with a walk off single by Michael Brady helping CL overcome a two run deficit in their last at bat.

Canyon Lake had a 3-2 lead starting the third inning but a seventh inning three run rally by the Bulldogs was matched when the Hawks held on for a team that might not have accomplished a game like this in previous seasons.

“Things looked bleak,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant mused. “I don’t know what a come from behind win will do for this club, but last year’s team would not of won this game.

Corey Shedrock who had been injured the past couple of weeks had a pinch hit in that last inning and that was just what the doctored ordered.

That hit was a result of a perfect bunt single on what was set up to be a sacrifice bunt to advance the two runners. This bunt saved an important out and helped lead to the late heroics.

Brady also added a triple to his walk off single resume and has been on a good hitting streak the past few games.

Peyton Sipila

Canyon Lake Baseball team rebounded with two wins in the Llano Tournament last Saturday.

The two wins were a welcome relief after losing their first two games of this tourney.

The Hawks beat Austin St. Michaels for the first time since starting the program, 5-4.

Travis Walker had a strong six innings of work before giving up the mound for Austin Headricks to help end the inning.

Kyler Huff ended up pitching the final inning and getting the win.

Michael Brady continues to have a high on base percentage as he finished with one hit and three walks.

Peyton Sipila and Daniel Camarillo both finished with two hits in this contest.

Lady Hawks Soccer clinched a spot for the post season with a 6-0 wipeout over Seguin on Friday night.

Christina Fowler was a scoring machine with five of the Canyon Lakes points. Lauren Justis had the other score on this record night.

Now CL has a chance of finishing third with a victory over Wimberley to end their regular season later this month.

It has been almost two years since a CL team has had a chance to order Playoff T-Shirts and now the toughest job might be trying to find the number for that T-Shirt company.

Assists for Canyon Lake were Kaitlin Wier, Michelle Panek, Morgan Boles-Crumrine.

Goalkeeper Wynne Clark had four saves in the shut-out and now the Hawks will work on their game as they prepare for another season—Post Season.

Congrats….now finish the season strong Hawks!!

Canyon Lake Girls Track has several hurdles to clear this year in their meets.

Track and Field is one sport that a team is not limited on the number of participants that can participate. Well kinda….

Baseball you play with 9
Football you play with 11
Basketball you play with 5…

You get the idea, this sport can be dominated by teams with the most athletes many times.

Points are scored through a sixth place finisher and many times a team that will run away with a team award will be that school with many finishers that finish in that 4-6 place slot.

Look at Fredericksburg Track team and you will see many athletes scoring points which adds up.

Canyon Lake Boy’s team last year finished a distant second to Fredericksburg even though the Hawks had top finishers in several events and relays. However, where CL had one finisher, Fredericksburg would have two or more.

Canyon Lake Boys Track team finished a very impressive 5th place in the Don Shelton Relays on Thursday, March 7th.

The Hawks were in competition with much larger schools and held their own in amassing 69 points in this meet. There were only three points separating four schools which comprised of Canyon Lake.

Jordan Anderson was the top point athlete for the Hawks with two first place finishes in the 100 and 400 meter runs. Anderson also finished 2nd in the High Jump and ran the anchor leg of the 4×100 relay that also finished in second.

Anderson’s point tallied 32 points for the Hawks.

Christian Dittman had a CL best and finished first in the Pole Vault with a jump of 13’6.
