Cullen Barnhart throws another gem in Bi-District win over Legacy Ranch, 5-3.

                      Way to Go Hawks!

The Lake continued peaking at the right time scoring 5 runs and taking the lead after Legacy Ranch jumped out to a one run lead opening the game.

The Ranch made a statement to start this game with their first batter being hit by a pitch and then scored on a single by their clean-up hitter.

Luckily for the Hawk Nation this team had a penchant of bunching their arsenal during the bottom of the third inning that had 11 Hawk’s come to bat leading to this break out frame.

                          Break the Dam~ Lake! 

Ranch was without a Legacy while The Lake had their only out coming from a sacrifice bunt (Archer Miller) for those first 9 players who sauntered to the plate. The damage would be 5 runs which was highlighted with a double for Bryce May along with 3 singles (Carson Walker~Cullen Barnhart~Ryan Rena), two walks (Lucas Schexnayder~Walker) and Joshua Little taking one for the team being hit by a pitch.

Game~Set~Match!

                        Way to Go Lake!

These Wranglers would make things interesting as they scored twice during their 6th frame with both runs coming from fielding errors.

Other than that, Cullen Barnhart won his 3rd game in these last 8 days with another dominant performance from the pitcher’s mound.

Barnhart has pitched 18 innings surrendering one earned run while striking out 16 during that stretch. His era (earned run average) is 0.39 with this victory helping The Lake reach 20 wins for the 5th time in the last 6 years.

The Lake has morphed into a decent outfit as this Legacy Ranch team is a much better version of a 25-4A Bi-District team.

Canyon Lake will work on eliminating these Wranglers on a rainy day that might not be realized at 7:00pm in Liberty Hill.

A third game (if needed) would be played at Lehman High School at 1:00pm on Saturday.

Meanwhile this improved version for CL will continue to work on not having The Ranch able to find nothing instead of a legacy.

Go Lake!

                  Keep it Going Hawks!!

Canyon Lake doused the Long Creek Dragons after another strong performance from Cullen Barnhart who pitched a 2 hitter in giving up one run while striking out five.

Barnhart was also instrumental in this win offensively as his double drove in two runs as The Lake plated 3 runs in that opening inning. Those runs would prove to be enough for this win.

There was rough waters starting the 4th frame when Long Creek had 6 of 7 batters able to reach base but could only garner one run.

Three Dragons reached base with two walks and a hit batter to start this roller-coaster. This ride had two players out at the plate….one on a suicide squeeze play and the other fielder’s choice.

Be Handy Hawks Baseball & Go Lake in Playoffs!

The Lake responded an inning later when Ryan Rena opened this inning with a single and then stole second base before another towering triple off the bat of Bryce May that scored Rena that got the Hawk’s lead back to three runs.

This was Bryce’s second triple this week with this hit against the wind.

Barnhart had right at 110 pitches when the last Dragon to bat swung at the first pitch for a pop-out that had the Hawks punching their dance card for another post-season chance to advance to State.

It was after that scary 4th frame that Barnhart doused these Dragons in facing 10 and getting 9 outs for those last 3 innings and an impressive outing on the mound.

The Lake will now play Legacy Ranch (17-10) for a 3 game series that starts at The Lake this Thursday at 7:00pm and then return the favor Friday at The Ranch starting at 7:00pm.

If a third game is needed then the location will be determined for a Saturday start.

Congrats and Way to GO LAKE!!

Hawk JV Green Pitcher Rowan Edwards had a No-No in win over Bandera.

                  Way to GO LAKE!

The Canyon Lake JV Green Baseball team finished their season capping off a huge win at Bandera, 9-2 with some timely hitting and a gem of a pitching performance.

This JV Green team finished their season completing a, 16-9-1 record and finished tied for 2nd place in district play.

Rowan Edwards threw a complete game no hitter against the Bulldogs while striking out 6 and only giving up 2 walks in this victory.

Edwards started this contest with a strike out and then after giving up a walk was redeemed when First Baseman Hudson Hastings started a 3-1-4 double play while Edwards ended each inning with a strikeout.

Josh Little was all business in Hawk’s JV Green win!

It not for a couple of errors in that final frame these Bulldogs would have gone home having Jowls without teeth.

The Hawks were led offensively by Josh Little, Brandon Rilee and Payton Vann who went a combined 6 at bats~6 runs~5 hits~& 5 RBI’s.

Coach Self was selfless in his assessment of this year, “I am extremely proud of these guys this season. They improved every week and competed for a district championship. These guys were a great group to coach and Coach Wilson and I are proud of them and our season!”

Jacob Little was huge helping The Lake have chance making post-season.  Go Lake!

              GO LAKE Baseball

The Lake garners a play-in game with their 13-5 win over Bandera thanks to a not so Little Jacob pitching 6 innings in giving up one run while striking out 7 Bulldogs.

Yes, Jacob Little was helped by a flood of runs the top of the 6th frame as The Lake batted around while scoring 9 runs and now a date this Saturday at 2:30pm in New Braunfels’ High School against Long Creek.

The winner will have their dance card for more games in the post-season.

                  Let’s GO LAKE!

This Bandera contest was testy after, The Lake, took a 3 run lead to start this game but these Bulldogs answered with 2 runs and then added another 3 runs in that second inning which had Head Coach Victory Escamilla changing pitchers and inserting a Freshman who started his first ever varsity action.

Head Coach Victor Escamilla had this to say about Jacob Little’s pitching, “I’ve seen him enough in the sub-varsity where I had seen him with four (types of) pitches and he throws them for strikes. He’s like a coach on the field…and I told one of my coaches in the dugout, ‘When that kid graduates then I want him as one of my assistants.’  He’s always coaching and he wants to learn the game.”

            Break the Dam~ Lake!

Coach Escamilla wasn’t finished, “He can slow down the game by shutting down the run game because he can hold them to a one way lead because, there is a lefty throwing.”

Jacob Little took the BIG Stage on the mound and after giving up a run on a sacrifice fly then those jitters would be gone until that final out in the seventh frame.

Mr. Little, after his first entrance to the mound would settle in by giving up a walk (3rd inning), single (4th inning)…without any damage and then followed with a 3-up & 3-down in the 5th and 6th frame accumulating 4 strikeouts during those two innings.

Meanwhile the Lake was down 2 runs and was able to answer with one score in the third when Ryan Rena doubled and scored on a Bryce May single. These two players combined for 6 hits and 6 rbi’s in this win.

It was in that 6th inning that had Bandera’s pitcher running out of pitches and then CL took care of the Bulldogs bullpen. Canyon Lake had 13 Hawks coming to the plate which was highlighted with a towering triple off the bat for May-Day knocking in two of those runs.

The Lake had 4 consecutive hits after Gavyn Baldera was robbed after being called safe beating out an infield hit…. but an umpire conference ruled that play an out.

It would be Archer Miller legging out another infield hit as speed kills and that was CL’s main helping hand for this game. The Lake coasted while not allowing any more runs and another Hawk must win battle.

Now another contest on Saturday at 2:30pm at New Braunfels High School in realizing hopefully another play-off year!

         Way to GET HITS HAWKS!

The Lake was missing two starters (pitcher & catcher) in a must(er) win contest against Bandera and came through with flying colors as Cullen Barnhart pitched 4 innings giving up one unearned run while Archer Miller was his battery mate in this conquest.

It was Barnhart’s first appearance in an official game this season which became a, ‘where has this pitcher been all season’, thoughts of grandeur.

Eight strikeouts and no walks was the perfect formula needed for The Lake while getting some help from Bandera’s pitchers who issued 9 walks while hitting three batters being enough for CL’s six hits to capitalize in scoring 8 runs.

Canyon Lake came into this contest one day later due to weather and knew that the team they are chasing for a play-off spot had won their opening game with Fredericksburg.

                Congrats Lake Baseball.

Long Creek’s  win presented a must(er) win battle with these Bulldogs needing a sweep as the only chance to realize entry to post-season.

Now, The Lake, will be doing some scoreboard watching this Friday in Bandera while needing a win and seeing who their next opponent might be on Saturday when they will face the Billies/Dragons loser.

It was the same scenario last year too…as the Hawks had to play Fredericksburg for that play-in game ironically in Wimberley where this contest was conducted after all the much needed rain.

             Proud of you Hawks!

Gram Simpson started this game getting hit by a pitch (hbp)  which allowed Simpson to own most hbp’s, passing Tanner Schultz,  with 22 for his career.

Simpson (64) was not finished tho…after working a walk later in this game which also put him #1 with that stat,  passing Tyler Pauly and Carter Williams, who finished their career with 63 base on balls.

All this to say that Simpson has been a good lead-off batter with his ability to reach base as he stands tied at 5th place all-time with Brandon Robinson who has a .505 On Base Percentage (OBP).

Carson Walker scored his 30th run thus far which is just two away from having 2nd place in runs scored for a season. Carter Williams scored 44 runs last year and Walker needs just one run in tying Hunter Anderson (’23)/Gram Simpson (’25).

Pitcher Greysen Patton did enter this must(er)  game during that last inning with two Bulldogs on base and no outs. Patton stayed in his tank striking out the side for a save.

A lot on the line this Friday’s, must(er) win for a chance of more games starting this Saturday.

            Go Hawks & Beat Bandera!

This will be the last ‘This Week’ as you can tell with only two sports that are still going on and, Baseball, could be finished if they can’t beat Bandera at least one game this week.

It is between the Hawks and Long Creek fighting for that last playoff spot.

In fact, The Lake, could win both games and still not make the post-season if the Dragons sweep Fredericksburg. 

So, a Hawk sweep and a Dragon getting swept would be the best scenario because a play-in contest would not be needed.

A Lake sweep and a Dragon winning one in their series with Billies would require that play-in affair.

                 GO LAKE Baseball

That last scenario would be CLake splitting their series with Bulldogs and some heavy doing scoreboard watching hoping a LC being swept and another play-in option.

Meanwhile, Track & Field will be back in action next week and with some good performances having some athletes going to Austin later in May.

It has been a decent year for The Lake with some surprises and disappointments but The ReSporter would like to say Thanks to the followers of this sports news outlet and would welcome your ideas or thoughts for next season.

        GO LAKE!

Please, reach out to those Local Sponsors that support this site as this venue can only exist by The Hawk Nation perusing these businesses and people to help break even each season.

Let’s GO Hawk Baseball & Go Fast Lake Track!

Pitcher Hayes Holladay got his 4th win this season in a needed victory over Billies.

The Lake got a win on a, must win week, over Fredericksburg, 6-2 as Canyon Lake scored all the runs needed during their opening inning.

That first frame was the CL’s first run scored in district play that had a double off Ryan Rena’s bat helping cap those tallies. Rena had his 15th double that moved him up to 10th place on the Top-Ten Career list.

Some more power was next with two solo shots of the bat of Lucas Schexnayder and Wayen Slania-Wetz who yard over the left field fence. Slania-Wetz (4) now stands at 5th place on CL’s all-time homer standings.

Pitcher Hayes Holladay was money on the mound striking out 7 Billies while giving up two walks….and a little let down with three hit batters. This win has Holladay at 10th place with 6 career wins.

A solid defense helped calm down the base paths that was present… which had this Hawk version needed for the rest of this campaign that has 3 contests remaining with a return date to Billie land this Friday.

                         GO LAKE!

The Lake will conclude district play against Bandera which lately has not been a show-up and win contest.

Gram Simpson continues his strong showing at lead-off working two walks which has tied for the most in a career 63 joined bt Tyler Pauly and Carter Williams.

Simpson’s first at bat set the stage when the Billie’s pitcher had  two called strikes before working the pitch count to 8 and a walk and eventual score.

Now the stage is set for another showdown this Friday in Freddie for a hopeful sweep.

Go Lake!

The Lake’s spring sports continues with 3 teams remaining …. Baseball~Softball~Track & Field.

Softball has three games left as these ladies finish their season with 3 straight road games with that final contest next Tuesday in Bandera.

Baseball have their backs against the wall needing a sweep of Fredericksburg this week to help put them back into playoff talk.

Bandera will be on the docket next week. The Billies will be at the Hawk Nest this Tuesday as baseball looks for a turn-a-round.

Track & Field will be at their Area Meet against District 25-4A in Lago Vista where morning Field events start and then a break before the running events get going later that day.

The Lake has 11 Boys covering 11 events while the Ladies won 7 events in last week’s District Meet which will hopefully translate into having several competing in Kingsville for Regional Meet.

The ReSporter will have a pre-view to the Area Meet this Tuesday.

As Always: Let’s Go Fast Lake!

                             Let’s GO LAKE!

The Lake had a decent week with Softball & Baseball each having a district win.

Softball took Bandera Dogs to the woodshed, 13-3 with a good pitching night for Melody Manos securing her 3rd win of the year. The Hawks used some key hits that helped secure this victory using their first (5 runs) and third inning (6 runs) helping to overcome a 2 run deficit to secure this conquest.

Baseball used that same script in getting their first district win after Hayes Holladay struck-out 13 Dragons in giving up just two singles in his, 4-0 shut-out.

This was a much needed win after losing their first 3 contests which will hopefully wrestle some momentum against a very good opponent this week playing Davenport.

               Proud of the Hawks!

On Saturday, The Lake, will welcome Navarro to the Nest as all three teams get on the diamond for a chance to get a fine-tuning contest as district reaches the half-way mark.

Track & Feld will be in action with this start of the District Meet on Monday @ 8:00am in Fredericksburg with finals for 3200 meter run and Field Events. Those running events will be slimmed down to athletes that qualified for Wednesday’s final day and will start at 4:00pm as CLake tries to qualify students for an Area Meet next.

Spring Sports start to thin out (much like The ReSporter’s hair line) this month as the athletes prepare for their final lap of this year.

Keep it up Lake & GO Hawks!

               Go Lake Beat Everyone!

Canyon Lake has had 3 shut-outs this season and the third pitched game by Hayes Holladay was certainly a charm.

The Lake needed this win after starting their District 26-4A campaign on the short end looking at an, 0-4 start if Hayes would not have canceled his Holladay.

“LC (Long Creek) could not handle his fast pace,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla exclaimed. “He threw 70% strikes. We needed a big game from him and he delivered.”

This gem started in that first inning as the Lake had allowed 11 total runs at start of each district contest which had CLake starting in a hole to climb out of in those first 3 losses.

               Congrats Lake Baseball.

Holladay threw 8 pitches to get those first three outs which would be the precursor
For the rest of this outing.

Catcher Arthur Miller barely had time to set up before catching a pitch as this fast pace left the Dragons without any ‘Fire’ power accumulating two singles and two free passes for the evening.

Add 13 strikeouts to this affair which also helped in keeping The Lake with only one error. You would have to go back 6 games since Canyon Lake had that type of defensive game.

               Way to Go Lake Baseball.

All of Long Creeks hits happened in the 2nd frame…but Holladay would strike out the the side taking any hope of advancing past second base in this white-wash.

Those two base-on-balls were stranded on first base in those two innings….one with a double play and striking out the last two batters in the bottom of the 5th inning.

In the 6th Inning a first batter two bag error was stranded after Holladay’s needing 15 pitches in striking out the side. That baserunner did advance to 3rd on a wild pitch which would be the low point for Holladay’s Holladay pitching performance.

Lucas Schexnayder and Bryce May would each score two runs with two of the Hawks 4 hits. It was the bottom of the line-up coming through as Ryan Rena also had a hit and rbi as all three players stole a base and it would be May scoring CL’s final run stealing home in the top of the 3rd inning.

The Lake had 5 steals and with two hit batters producing 11 base runners in this battle.

Gram Simpson tied Tanner Schultz with 21 hit-by-pitches and will look to be black & blue with his record breaking 22nd sometime later this season.

This win goes a long way in turning the tide as being swept twice off the bat (pardon the pun) could have had The Lake on the outside looking in.

Canyon Lake will welcome Davenport next Tuesday for their next two-game series with some needed momentum.

Way to GO LAKE!
