The Canyon Lake Hawks are 0 for 3 in District 26-3A play, but by watching this

First Baseman Travis Walker

team compete you will realize that it is just a matter of time for CL to break into the win column and start competing for a playoff spot.

Fredericksburg started with a bang, scoring four runs in the first inning that was highlighted by a three run homerun off the bat of Jacob Smith. The inning was elongated by an error, having the Hawks continuing on the abnormal amount of runs scored with two outs.

“We keep grasping at straws because we have so many youth issues,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant lead off. “We hit the ball better, we spent two days on it.”

Canyon Lake responded in the bottom of the first when Freshman Garrett Winters drew a one out walk, Travis Walker singled scoring Winters after advancing on an error earlier when Eckert tried to catch Winters off of first base.

Fredericksburg scored another unearned run in the top of the second after two outs, when Daniel Camarillo misplayed a ball in center field and the Billies’ runner scored on a passed ball later that inning.

During the Spring Break, Canyon Lake will be off this week and have their sites on March 22nd with a Meet at Wimberley.

The ReSporter has gone back and taken the best times for CL Hawks and injected them on a meet that was held last week, called the Cibolo Steele Invitational.

There was eight teams invited with all the teams participating at a 4A and 5A enrollment classification.

To throw Canyon Lake into this meet will be an eye opener for those fans in the Canyon Lake area that might not realize just how good this group of Athletes are performing.

Do realize that Canyon Lake’s finishes are based on three meets and they are the best times for this season.

So the following results will be off a small amount, but the final should be close to what the actual meet would finish.

Below you have the teams and what District they are from with the finish they had earlier this month. The ReSporter will give you the Hawk Athletes and their finish based on their best time and distance being placed into this track meet.

The ReSporter will also be running last year’s District 26-3A Meet with this year’s Hawk Team. Stayed Tuned!!

Every run scored by Wimberley was after two outs and helped put Canyon Lake in a hole, but the Hawks would be advised to ask the District Office if they can play the rest of their District games with two out innings.

Third Baseman Dylan Adams

Wimberley used their clutch hitting to score a victory over the Hawks last Tuesday during a Spring Break week.

Canyon Lake had a chance to score the first run in the third inning, when Dylan Adams led off with a single through the gap. A sacrifice hit by Daniel Camarillo and a passed ball had Adams looking right down the third base line towards home.

With two outs, batter Travis Walker hit the ball lake a laser towards Adams who did a break dance routine dodging the ball.

You might have heard of these two players that signed

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw on Signing Day

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw took another step for their opportunity to play in College.

Kemp was courted by Mary Hardin Baylor while Henshaw will be up the road at Tarleton State University.

To put these two students in perspective lets run some numbers, just in case you forgot who these two young man were. (The season did end over four months ago)

Alex Kemp was the Defensive End for the Hawks where he finished with the All-Time Record for sacks and a basic disrupter for many of the offenses the Hawks faced in the last two years.

Kemp had 126 total tackles the last two seasons and in his Junior year he amassed nine sacks and 15 tackles for a loss.

Not to be out done, Kemp ended with 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss his Senior campaign. The two totals are now records left for all the under classman to try and top.

The next closest active player in sacks is Isaac Pruna with four. The record holder going into last season was J. Garrett Groom with 10 sacks.

Pruna will have his work cut out for him in the tackles for loss category as he is also the active returning player with eight tackles for a loss. Needing a mere 25 more to tie Kemp’s record of 33.

Zach Henshaw was a record machine that had an extra jump on any player trying to catch him in yardage gained since he played three seasons for the Hawks.

Henshaw had 300 yards rushing in one game, 2070 yards in one year, and 4329 yards in his career.

Canyon Lake Boy’s and Girl’s Track Teams will have a week off after getting a cold

Marisa Ellis Reaching New Heights

reception in Kerrville for the Antler’s Relays last Thursday night.

“It was FREEZING!!! 45 degrees and 20-30 mph winds not a good day for track,” Head Girls Coach Lacey Lambert said. “Before it got too cold… Marisa Ellis broke school records in the triple jump with 36’6” shattering the previous record as well as jumping 5’3” in high jump.”

Track is one sport where wearing more clothes will give you slower times. Football has pads and lots of exertion, where Track teams rely on less weight on the body so they can maximize their events.

Coach Lambert was very excited with some of the younger athletes, “JV Freshman Grace Allen also triple jumped for the first time and won with a jump of 31’7”.  Hayley Melone jumped 14’ in the JV long jump as well.”

The Hawks stayed dry in the rain as they outscored Marion and SAC 12-2 in  a

Kelsey Ahrens

shortened Marion Tournament this past week.

When Canyon Lake took care of the three major areas in winning games.

Pitching:
Between Missy Romero, Briana Young, and Kelsey Ahrens the Hawks gave up only one run holding the two teams to just four hits.

Romero lowered her era to a miniscule 0.53, for those who might know the significance…the number stands for the number of runs given up in a regular seven inning game.

Using that criteria, Canyon Lake would only need one run to win games in which Romero is in the circle.

Canyon Lake had the two games that were as different as the weather.

Junior Kyler Huff

The first game was pleasant temperature wise and then by the start of the second game the temperature was 30 degrees colder and of course a wind that made it feel colder.

Errors were the culprit in both games as St. Michaels runs were all unearned in the middle part of the contest. As the Hawks lost their three run lead and finished the game coming within one run of tying the score.

In the second game, Taylor jumped out to a five run lead in the first two innings when Canyon Lake started inching back to within striking distance.

A three run fifth inning put a time limit loss on the belt for the Hawks as the warmth of the bus I’m sure looked to be a welcome site for the Polar Bears.

The Hawks beat the Eagles on a very windy night of Softball at the Canyon Lake

Vicky Henderson

diamond last Tuesday night.

The wind was relentless as Canyon Lake finally figured out their strategy of winning going away.

Canyon Lake coaxed nine walks with eight hits to finally put enough runs across the plate to ensure the victory.

“It was a solid effort,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “That was probably our best effort for the year.”

Missy Romero had another solid game in the circle giving up three hits and striking out eight.

The Hawks had several key elements transpire during the game that gives you an idea that CL might have turned an important curve.

Optimism in a loss is not what a lot of fans like to hear about,

Freshman Garrett Winters

but this year’s Eyas (young Hawks) played an admirable game to start District 26-3A at Bandera, Monday night.

Junior Logan Felch was the losing pitcher, but giving up one run was something Head Coach Trent Dunavant can live with in order to give this young team some confidence.

“This was the best game we have played all year,” Dunavant started. “That was the kind of defense we need to play…now we are playing.”
