                       High Noon says GO LAKE!

A lot of happenings last week with more on the way for another busy week for The Lake’s High School.

Check out The ReSporter article on Tennis as this group of Hawk Athletes had a successful two days in San Marcos with several players placing 3rd & 2nd and some close calls. (Pardon the Pun)

Boys Basketball finished their season being outside the playoff picture that could have had better results but this team lost 83 games for the top 8 players due to injury. Certainly a MASH unit this season.

Softball is in the midst of some growing pains while Baseball finished the week with a, 4-2 record with 4 more on their slate this week. All will be at the Hawk Nest.

Track & Field hosted the Hawk Relays and the Ladies started where they left off last year and won scoring 152 points with some good marks for their Junior Varsity and room for more improvement for the Varsity.

                         Let’s GO LAKE!

The Boys Track & Field have lapped last year’s team with a good showing with a 5th place showing and some athletes shuffling into the Top Ten with their efforts with potential for more to come.

This week Track will be in Navarro Panther Relays with start time, 1:00pm.

Girls Soccer are still ranked in the Top 5 in both Texas Polls as they went, 2-0 this past week and one game against Bandera on Friday. That next week will be a battle at Wimberley and a must win for a chance of having a chance of winning the district.

If you see an event and have an inkling then come out and support The Lake’s Hawks!

& Let’s Go Lake!

Ryan Rena pitched in win over Aransas Pass. Way to Go Lake!

The Hawks finished their Sinton Tourney, 3-2 giving Head Coach Victor Escamilla a lot of data in forming those three baseball elements of, Pitching~Fielding~Hitting.

Thus far The Lake has used more pitchers by this time of the year seeing 8 players. This group has posted a decent 2.70 era and 12 earned runs during 31 innings of work.

“Every outing is a test for our guys,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla stated on how he takes in pitching before pre-district. “We have a few arms but we need to find those that throw more strikes. We will continue to work with all of them hoping to get better results with each outing.”

Giving up 21 hits is doable but their base on balls reached 21 which would help with a lower number which will certainly be in Coach Escamilla’s thought process in choosing those players that take the mound.

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Those two losses were to perennial power Sinton and Tuloso-Midway a larger school. The Lake managed just one run in those outings.

Fielding has been decent with a .937 percentage. But Coach Escamilla is a tough grader, “I would give fielding a C plus. We have to get better. We Don’t have those guys that will strike out 10 in a game. Good defense will go a long way for us.”

Coach Escamilla graded CL’s batting thusly, “Hitting C plus. We must improve our hitting against good pitching.”

                                Go Lake!

That was the main theme in those two losses and one win happened with just two hits…but those hits came when Wayen Slania-Wertz  hit a 3-run homer and a double for Brenan Hughes.

Overall, “We need to find our top 4 guys on the mound and improve against quality pitching.

The Lake will continue with 4 games at the Hawk Nest this week with one game Thursday-Friday and then finish with two contests next Saturday.

A lot of ??? that can hopefully turn into !!!!

Let’s Go Lake!

                               Way to GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake’s Baseball won their 8th opening day game in a row with a dismantling of the Devine Warhorses, 12-3.

“The bats came alive and the pitcher’s threw strikes,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla stated. “The defense needs to be shored up. Every error is a window of opportunity for our opponents and good teams will exploit that.”

CLake rushed out to a 3 run lead before those dastardly errors to two runs in the 3rd and their last run in that following frame. Canyon Lake still led, 4-3 but broke out this contest in those last three innings scoring 8 runs and 6 during that 6th inning.

It was an extra base hit parade with 8 of the Hawks 15 hits went for extra bases with 7 doubles and a homer for newcomer Cullen Barnhart who chipped in with one of those doubles.

                           Let’s GO LAKE!

Carson Walker did not do his last name any favors as walking was not his motif of getting around first base after 3 of his 4 hits went for doubles knocking in 3 Hawks matching Barnhart’s 3 rbi’s.

Ryan Rena and Bryce May also had multiple hits along with Brennan Hughes 3 singles helping put this game in a win column.

Cade Johnson and Hayes Holladay combined for a no-hitter while giving up 2 walks and striking out 9 Warhorses that were not led to water on this night.

Those errors led to all of Devine’s runs and a good start before The Lake heads to a perennial power Sinton team on Thursday with a 2pm first pitch.

Canyon Lake will start their first tournament in that game followed with Port Lavaca later that same day.

A good start with some tough competition in the Sinton Tourney will give the Hawk’s coaching staff plenty of ideas on what will need work as pre-district battles continue.

                  High Noon says Let’s GO LAKE!!

Last week @ The Lake had a lot of happenings with Ladies Basketball ending the season while the Boys Basketball will be playing their final contest Tuesday in Bandera.

The injury ‘BUG’ (Camel Spider) hit this year’s boy’s round ball with over 60 games lost due to injuries which had a big role in seeing this team getting crushed by a Coconut Crab.

Ladies Soccer got back on track with two wins and a game Tuesday against Davenport will complete the first round of games. The Billies will be at the Hawk Nest this Friday as the 4th/7th ranked Hawks keep sights on a possible district title.

Softball started this year with a young team that has a slew of Freshman/Sophomores penciled in all through the line-up.

Baseball will debut tonight on the road in Devine where The Lake will look to win their 8th straight opening season contest. A Sinton tournament will end the week for this baseball crew.

Track & Field will host the Hawk Relays on Thursday as there were a lot of bright spots for both Boys & Ladies with several athletes making their mark in entering the All-Time Top-Ten list.

Which is an important aspect for this sport that relies on being at your best when the district meet comes calling to make a trail for Austin at the UIL State Meet.

The ladies are picked by the San Antonio Newspaper at their favorite to win their second district title. That feat has never happened in any sport for The Lake where there was a back-to-back accomplishment of that magnitude.

It looked much like those two bugs mentioned above. Let’s Go, Camel Spider & Coconut Crab!

& Let’s Go Lake!

          Canyon Lake’s Baseball new Hair-Do last year helped by blinding Bi-District Opponent..

     Congrats Top-10 Baseball Hawks!

The ReSporter wants to show-off Advertiser’s since having great local support for this publication makes this site doable.

Having costs that involve travel and site upkeep helps this ReSporter being able to cover Canyon Lake High School Sports and show-off a group of young men and women that would not get that same type of coverage from around this area like a Smithson Valley which sucks all the air out of a room for schools such as The Lake.

Let these Advertiser’s know that you see them on this site and thank them for looking at articles like the one below.

Steve Crisp has been with The ReSporter since the days when his boys were active in several sports (especially football) at The Lake!  He works under the heading: Berkshire Hathaway and always has an open door…especially if you have any news on Canyon Lake’s Sports! (just ask Brooke Wilbourn ‘his receptionist’) when you check in and if you don’t know any Hawk trivia she can slip you some notes to start a conversation with Steve). Who knows it just might lead to a great chance acquiring some land.

The ReSporter will now highlight the Hawk Nation with Lake Baseball as they will get going this Monday in Devine. We will run an article after the season for those athletes who were able to crack the top 10.

Way to GO LAKE and Congrats to this ALL-TIME Baseball

                                   Way to GO LAKE!

Some tough losses during last week’s contests with boys basketball and girls soccer came up short but for basketball the Boys are still hanging on needing to win two of three remaining games for securing a post-season invite.

That would have a potential tie with Fredericksburg but the tie-breaker would go to The Lake based on two wins over the Billies if they accomplish their two of three victories.

For the Lady Soccer team their script still has a lot of lines with district just getting started and this tough district will have pitfalls for the majority of the schools and Canyon Lake’s loss was to a #1 Texan team.

Now The Lake Soccer will need to focus as Long Creek tied Davenport and beat Marble Falls showing this is certainly an upstart team and nothing is guaranteed….and then a battle on the road with The Falls on Friday will be another hurdle to clear.

                                    Let’s GO LAKE!

Softball gets going this week starting with Elgin on Tuesday with the Wurst Tournament starting on Thursday at the Hawk Nest with two games on Thursday & Friday with a ‘To Be Determined’ contest on Saturday at Noon.

Baseball started scrimmages last week and the first pitch is in a couple of weeks as Coach Escamilla fine tunes Pitching~Fielding~Batting in hope for an another successful season.

Track & Field will begin this Friday with the Comal Relays where CLake will see how they stack up against larger schools and the Lady Tracksters have a chance to repeat as District Champs with another solid core of athletes with sights on qualifying for Austin again this year.

Looking at the above week gives The Hawk Nation an idea of where they can take in a lot of sports to support,

                              Go Hawks!

Canyon Lake had an up and down week with Boys (spilt their games) & Girls Basketball are playing for next season. The Boys Friday loss put a big dent in making the post-season that will make the second round of district contests with no room for making mistakes on winning those doable battles.

Boys & Girls Soccer was up and down as the Boys still trying to get their game in gear while the Ladies stayed undefeated with their win over Freddie as district is in full gear.

CL’s Lady Soccer is in the toughest district in Texas for the 4A Classification and reached #1 in one of the two polls which is a first for any Canyon Lake sports to reach that goal.

Now The Lake’s Ladies will me in a mine field playing through their schedule starting this Tuesday for a Senior Night battle with Bandera and then a match-up with another school (Wimberley) in district that has reached #1 in that other poll.

Those Spring Sports are getting in full gear as you can look above and see Baseball~Softball~Tennis and soon The Lake’s Track will start in the middle of this month.

Keep supporting these Local Athletes and Let’s GO LAKE!

The Lake did not start their game with Austin Travis very well (understatement) after posting a, 15-2 first quarter with those two lonely points courtesy of an Eli Cole put-back that had 1:30 remaining in the opening quarter.

You read that right….Canyon Lake was looking at a 15 point deficit to start this game.

            Way to make some Good Hits!

A start this bad would usually bring a family conversation in the crowd of,  ‘Where would be a good place to eat after this game?’

That meal turned out to be a full buffet affair that had this Hawk team not only getting back into this game but….finishing with an 11 point win.

What was the secret sauce? A heavy dose of defense that led to 14 steals and bruises on several Hawk players going after loose balls. Add reducing turnovers down from 11 in that first frame to only two for that next 8 minutes proved to be a winning eatery.

CLHS would score 25 points during that second period and realizing a 3 point lead going into halftime, 27-23.

     Let’s Go Hawks Great Comeback!

Canyon Lake would continue their pressure starting the 2nd Half garnering their largest lead in this segment, 9 points (38-29) when Gavin Cano sank a free throw with 1:27 left before the final quarter, the Hawk lead was still tenuous tho, 40-34.

Starting that last period, two buckets for Fuentes and Torres along with assists for Torres & Rowe during the first 90 seconds gave CL a, 44-34.

The Lake kept their distance for the remainder of this quarter as Austin Travis cut into CL’s lead to 8 points while Canyon Lake was able to up their advantage to 12 points on a Fuentes bucket with 3:55 remaining, 48-36.

Basically…Canyon Lake scored 52 points in 3 quarters and outscoring these Rebels, 52-28 during that span.

Another good,  gut check,  in seeing the possibilities when communication and an all out energy burst that caused chaos on your opponent that led to good offensive play.

                            Go Lake!

Bobby Torres led The Lake with 5 assists while Josh Rowe forced 5 steals while the team reached 15 steals and assists to end this win.

Canyon Lake did finish with a 3-1 tourney record and lost in a Championship against Stephenville.

Head Coach Monte Cole commented on what the team accomplished, “I think this tournament helped us regain some confidence and start moving in the right direction. It was a great tournament for us and in championship game we played really good Stephenville team and were competitive for a majority of the game.

Coach Cole continued, “The younger guys are learning how hard you have to play at the Varsity level to win games and it’s showing. Very proud of this group of guys.”

A good showing which left the Hawk fans never being able to come to a destination for that elusive win…which made that non-decision a good decision.

Hawk Nation is Proud of The LAKE!

Hawks finish their season with a loss to Uvalde in a one game Area Round contest, 13-4.

The Lake led through the 5th inning but was soundly beaten, 11-1 in those last two frames that had multiple walks and errors contributing to that final score.

Overall a good season that ended with 19 wins with a relatively young team that had just 3 seniors with two starters.

Coach Escamilla: “Any loss is disappointing….we didn’t capitalize during the first part of the game and left the bases loaded and did not get any timely hits.”  (Lake left 12 on base)

The ReSporter: Give us your thoughts on your 3 Seniors.

Coach Escamilla: “We appreciated their leadership and how they worked everyday and they were focused even tho there are so many distractions during this time of year for seniors. They focused and never took off and gave it their all.”

The ReSporter: What do you do now in preparation for next year?

Coach Escamilla: “We really don’t have contact with them until January as several player play football….which is okay because that keeps them in shape and competition keeps them sharp. A big part of sports is Summer ball and that is where they will gain and and get an advantage with competition….They know the expectations we have.”

The ReSporter: What will be your emphasis for next season?

Coach Escamilla: “Consistency especially with our pitching. We need to strengthen pitching and be consistent on the mound…that will be our key for success.”

Canyon Lake had both sub-varsity squads finish with winning records and Mountain Valley Middle School is playing right now and with 17 players on last night’s roster returning will allow a good nucleus or starting point for next year’s team.

Senior Day next season will be longer than the game with 17 presently that will be going into their senior year.

Thanks for a Great Season & Way to GO LAKE!
