Coaches Corner: Track Coach Levi Montgomery

ReSporter: “How is the team looking going into this week’s District 26-3A Meet? Mentally? And Physically?”

The Canyon Lake Softball team lost another close game to Bulldogs on the road last Tuesday night at Bandera.

Bandera is in first place in the District 26-3A race and two of their wins have come in games against the Hawks by the slimmest of margins.

The Hawks tied the game up in the top of the seventh inning only to lose control of the game in the bottom of that same inning. (more…)

The ReSporter has taken some results from previous track meets among the District 26-3A teams and based on the distances and times put a point total for each team. We then compared last year’s District meet against the best times for this years group. (more…)

Resporter: Jordan Anderson is one of the fastest short distance runners in District, did you run Anderson in the 4×100 relay in Dripping Springs?

Coach Montgomery: “Yes, he ran the anchor leg and we finished 2nd overall.”

Coach Montgomery: “(Dakota) Repa is finally getting into track shape after coming over from soccer. He will has a legitimate chance of making the top three in the 300 hurdles.” (more…)

Canyon Lake could not get out of the ‘canyon’ they dug themselves into after allowing six runs in the first inning against Boerne last Friday night at the Hawk diamond.

The strike zone was missing in action at the start of the game and the Hawks could not climb out, as they lost in a shortened game because of the 10 run rule.

“The difference in the last two games was jumping out to a four run lead against Navarro and giving up a six runs in the first inning to Boerne,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. (more…)

Canyon Lake whitewashed the Boerne Greyhounds in a win that helped cement the Hawks into second place in the District 26-3A race last Friday night at the Canyon Lake diamond.

Canyon Lake has now scored 29 runs In the last three games helping take a lot of pressure off the defense. The bottom of the batting order were the players that raised the bar for this win. (more…)

The Hilltop ReSporter will be taking a look at individual players for the rest of the season.

The first stop will be from the circle as we look at Junior Pitcher Missy Romero.

Pitcher for a softball team has been the pivotal player for any team, because of the chance of dominating the game with strikeout power. This aspect had been adjusted this year when UIL moved the circle back three feet to the same distance as the college game. (more…)

The Canyon Lake Hawks beat Navarro Panthers last Tuesday night to put themselves in the hunt for a good district run.

Zach Jenkins continues to pitch well as he has the two wins in District play.

Canyon Lake had three extra base hits in the first inning. Daulton Winters tripled, followed with a double from Brandon Felts, and then Kyler Huff sending the ball over the fence with his at bat. (more…)

ReSporter: What are you looking for from the team the next round through District play?

Coach Gallagher: “More consistency in our offensive production, continued strong defensive effort, keeping errors to a minimum, and getting everyone to improve their knowledge of games situations.”

ReSporter: With the game being divided into three parts: Fielding—Hitting—Pitching…
