Michael Anderson’s Walk-Off Double scored Carter Williams in, 7-6 Win! GO LAKE!         (photo Daniel Clifton)

Curtain Call today in Wimberley at 2pm after a Senior Night that had your Hawk’s Seniors performing magnificently beating Bandera, 7-6 on a walk-off double by Michael Anderson.

Three starting Seniors had an impressive combined line score at the plate and on the mound.

                               GO LAKE!

This game started with these Bulldogs rushing out to a 4 run first inning lead when Hawks pitching  had a hard time finding the strike-zone.

The Lake did respond scoring 2 runs during the bottom of that opening stanza when Wayen Slanina-Wertz’s two strike single drove in Gram Simpson and Carter Williams who reached base via a free pass.

A two run deficit would increase to 3 runs after an opening home-run to start the 3rd inning for Bandera.

                         GO HAWKS!!

Then Senior Ryder Hopper was called to the mound to help keep this must win contest close for a chance to keep this game with-in reach.  Class Act for sure with a brilliant come to the rescue outing for Senior Hopper.

With one out in the 3rd inning Hopper worked out of trouble before allowing another run later that was helped by an error but a 6-4-3 double play helped minimize the damage.

Bandera had stretched their lead back to 4 runs, 6-2 but now CLake had just 3 innings to respond.

                 Let’s GO LAKE!

Walks was the mold of transportation on this night as these Bulldogs pitchers walked 14 Hawks and which was how CL was able to tie this game in the 5th inning that started with a pop out to first base. Then Senior Hopper singled which was followed by 2 walks and a couple of balks that scored Hopper.

Then an intentional walk had Williams batting with the bases loaded with still one out. Enter Senior Michael Anderson with a two run single scoring Simpson and Holladay. Anderson has reached base safely for 16 straight games and this would be his 4th contest with more than one hit.

Williams stole home for CL’s final run in the 5th tying the score, at 6 runs a piece.

                              Go Lake!

A scoreless 6th inning set up that final act for this Senior crew.

To start reliever Williams struck out the side after a lead-off single before a Hawk response that would be an intentional act by these Bulldogs when Williams was given his second free pass this game putting the winning run on first base.

Enter Anderson’s double to centerfield which had a scorched earth running by Williams for that winning score. A Senior Moment on this night and Curtain Call today don’t miss this play!

Curtain Call today…Saturday in Wimbo for a chance to add more games to this year’s schedule.

Way to GO SENIORS & HAWKS!

Ryder Hopper doing clean-up with his 7th inning finishing job in win over Bandera. GO LAKE

Hit Man says way to get rid of those Pests Hawks!

Canyon Lake passed their first test for this week of games with two more remaining to realize a chance to play in the post-season.

The Lake started this contest scoring 3 runs in their first two frames which would turn out to be plenty enough for this victory.

Carter Williams and Ryder Hopper combined on a two hitter for this much needed shut-out win. Williams helped his outing with a towering homer that left no doubt after it left his bat that had the Bulldog left fielder morphing into a fan as he stood and watched the flight of this ball that threatened some trees 20-30 feet behind the fence.

The top of the batting order administered much of the damage with Gram Simpson and Michael Anderson joining Williams with two hits a piece/5 runs/4 rbi’s that had a double for Anderson added to that moonshot. Add 3 walks from this trio and you can see how that damage turned out to be lethal.

                         GO LAKE!

More good news was having Navarro beating Fredericksburg which was a welcome sight after hearing the Hawk crowd yelling their approval when it was learned Navarro had taken a 4-0 lead in that game in the stands.

Two more hurdles this Friday with the same scenario needed for a chance for a play-in contest with the Billies this Saturday.

Just taking care of business and prepare for a joyous extra game or time to wash the uniform scenario.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Week @ The Lake is starting to thin out with sports coming to an end but still enough for the Hawk Nation to take note first giving a shout out to CLake’s Softball team who reached the playoffs and will be playing this Friday at Cedar Park taking on Lago Vista who finished first in District 25-4A.

There was one common opponent….Marble Falls who beat Canyon Lake but these Mustangs were beaten by the Vikings.

It will be a one game playoff for a chance to advance into the Area Round. Let’s Go Lake!

Baseball needed a split in their series against Fredericksburg by winning their Friday must-win game, 14-6. This game had a lot of bats producing multi run innings which will set the stage for The Lake needing to sweep Bandera…a loss will eliminate the Hawks. Some scoreboard watching will be a pastime for Hawk fans who will be rooting for Navarro in hopes they will be able to sweep the Billies.

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

It is a simple math needing to sweep and your counterpart needing to be swept. If those ingredients come to fruition then Canyon Lake will have a play-in contest with Fredericksburg this Saturday. That will be known as soon as possible for Hawk fans to make plans for that hopeful moment.

The Lady Hawk Track Team finished 2nd place at their Region Meet in Kingsville and will now have a good contingent of Ladies still training for their final season meet in Austin.

That State Meet will be May 1st and The ReSporter will have an article later this week to help set the stage on what this Hawk team will need in order to finish this season strong.

Also, notice on the above dates, Mountain Valley MS Softball and Baseball will start their short season with an away game at Smithson Valley MS on Thursday and then will be at the Hawk Nest this coming Saturday with games starting at 10am.

A good week for The Lake!

Carter Williams was perfect from the batting box going 5 for 5 with 2 doubles an a homer in, 14-6 win over Billies. Go Hawks & Beat Bandera!

                      Way to Go Lake!!

Canyon Lake came into their Friday night contest against Fredericksburg with a need to win or go home situation. A preface of this being a playoff atmosphere to have a chance of making the postseason.

The game was a success for a Hawk team that had been in the doldrums since that first pitch to start district play that had this Lake team without a win. CLake had scored 15 runs in their 7 district games and decided to break out of this prolonged slump amassing 14 runs leaving no doubt scoring 12 runs in those first three frames of this game.

Carter Williams was the big man on campus going 5 for 5 that had 2 doubles and a home-run scoring 4 runs.

        Way to Make us Proud Hawks!!

Williams also produced on the mound after surrendering the first run after CL was sitting on a 12 run advantage. The Hawks still have a fielding problem tho seeing 6 runs scored and only one of those scores being earned.

But on this night Fredericksburg one upped the Hawks committing 6 errors which was 4 more than Canyon Lake had received in their previous 7 district outings.

Michael Anderson continued his hot bat with 2 doubles, 2 rbi’s, and 2 runs…in fact, Anderson (.762) still has a slugging percentage higher than Williams (.700) in district play.

MVMS Baseball & Softball starts April 24th 630pm! GO LAKE!

This win will have your Hawks doing some window watching as a playoff has two more hurdles to clear to realize this opportunity. The Billies will need to lose both of their games with Navarro to end the regular season while, The Lake, still has to take care of business in beating Bandera this week.

A road game on Tuesday and then their final home game with the Bulldogs this Friday.

If these hurdles are cleared then both teams will have a one game play-in contest this Saturday.

At least, there is a chance, to barrow that iconic movie phrase from (Dumber and Dumber) for those who were alive back in 1994.

Way to GO LAKE and Beat the Bulldogs!!

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

Track & Field will take a strong group to Kingsville this weekend for a Regional Meet with those Field Events commencing Thursday followed with the finals for running on Saturday. The only running event that counts will be the 3200 meter run that has Tristan Schenk and Eva Zabarcencu competing for a chance to make Austin.

The skinny for this year’s Softball & Baseball as the regular season comes to a close.

Softball will have their final two games this week and then getting ready for their first post-season date since 2021 the next week.

                               GO LAKE!

Fredericksburg and Bandera are the softball teams this week for sweep but a better chance to break even with a win over Bandera. A win to end district would be a good way to enter the playoff season.

At this time, Canyon Lake will be pitted against Lago Vista for their Bi-District contest.

Baseball is a little more complicated because the hard-ball teams play one school each week on a home and away schedule.

Fredericksburg is two games ahead of The Lake with two wins over Bandera and being swept by Wimberley and Navarro thus far.

                                Go Lake!

Canyon Lake has been swept by Wimberley-Navarro-Davenport and after this week’s schedule with the Billies finish with Bandera.

The Hawks will need to have at least a split this week and a sweep of Bandera to end with a play-in contest with a tie. A Hawk sweep this week and next week would give CLake a playoff bid without any fuss.

The ReSporter did a deep dive into each school’s non-district schedule and which team had a tougher schedule.

         Teams Played  Schools beat  Team’s Dist   Above .500
         Winning %     Winning Rec     Record      Schools %
CL Hawks   .466             3        76-84  .475   69-34-3  .665 .
Billies    .403             4        55-69  .443   84-43-0  .661

Canyon Lake did play a much tougher schedule but with a 6 game losing streak, how this Hawk team will do can be based on what is between two ears.

MVMS Baseball & Softball starts April 24th 630pm! GO LAKE!

Certainly a decent chance but a better fielding team would be priority #1 as that stat leads to more runs and adds pitches to that pitcher on the mound.

The Lake has a .227 team batting average in district games while averaging 2 runs per outing while CL’s pitching is presently with a 4.31 earned run average (era).

All of those variables has led to a less than stellar start when you see those first three innings with the opposition scoring 23 runs while Canyon Lake has scored 9 to counter. Just 4 runs scored through the 4th-7th innings.

The Lake needs to revert to the beginning of the year that had a better vibe which translated to wins.

Canyon Lake’s Gold team finished their Season with the Best Record for this Classification…Way to Go Hawks!

Let’s Go Hawks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be Authentic with  Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

A mixed bag of results from the past week that had Softball split their two games with an important win over Bandera and then a tough set-back with Wimberley in a one run loss.

That Bulldog win left The Lake with 2 wins putting them in a 4th place slot and if that could be duplicated during the next two weeks a playoff berth. CLake road game on Tuesday could solidify a spot with a win over Navarro that would finish a sweep of the Panthers and the separation needed for that final post-season berth.

Baseball continued in their swoon losing their two game series with Navarro. Canyon Lake has another tough two game stretch this week that begins on the road at Davenport before that return battle at the Hawk Nest. A split or sweep would be needed….big time in realizing a chance to get back in the middle of a race for a good seeding.

CL’s Gold~Green teams continue their maturation with the Green Squad pitted against Navarro while the Gold Hawks will have a double-header with the Billies on Saturday starting at 11am.

Track & Field took the Gold at district last week with a comeback win over Fredericksburg coming out on top with a 3 point win, 150-147. It was the Ladies 3rd Meet win this year and first ever district conquest.

          Way to Make us Proud Hawks! 

Playoff’s for track will begin this Thursday at Wimberley when District 26-4A will be competing against District 25-4A with the top 4 of each of those events continue their trek for a date in Kingsville April, 18-19th.

Jacob Price was the only boy trackster able to qualify for the Area competition with a 40-10.25 for the Triple Jump event.

For the Ladies, there were several that will be trekking to Wimberley and The ReSporter will have another article before Thursday Meet.

Way to GO LAKE!

It was a good week for the Lake with Baseball scoring in double digits in all their wins and a just missed opportunity in a, 3-2 loss to State Ranked New Braunfels.

This week Baseball will start district with games against Wimberley.

The Softball team was able to even their district record after taking Navarro to the wood shed in their, 10-3 win over the Panthers. This week it will be @ Davenport on Tuesday and @ the Billies on Friday.

Golf will be in action on Monday in Fredericksburg as the Hawks will get familiar where one round will be played for District further down the road.

Track & Field will be competing at the Texans Relays in Wimberley and a good chance to catch a group of talented Hawks.

                        Let’s Go Lake!

Another headliner will go to this week’s Area Round of playoffs for the Lady Hawk’s Soccer team when they go to Lehman High School to take on Floresville with the start time 7:00pm.

Soccer beat Gateway last week, 6-1 and will look to continue their post-season schedule with another win this Tuesday.

============================

Wayen Slania-Wertz had 2 doubles & homerun in a Hawk win this week.

Canyon Lake started playing against varsity competition during the 2007-08 year and for that Hawk Baseball team they played very few games.

However, that short season did produce for CLake a record that had stood for 17 years. The Lake outscored San Marcos Academy by 24 runs in a shut-out victory. Well, that minute record is now in the past (pardon the pun) when the Hawks scored 27 runs in a win over Gonzales, 27-4. That 2008 season still has a record winning by 24 runs but the amount of runs now belongs to this year’s squad.

This Spring Break week had 4 consecutive contests starting Monday through Friday’s win as Coach Escamilla said, “I would rather play games than practice.”

CLHS will go into district play this Tuesday at Wimberley with an, 13-4-1 record. Baseball has 3 elements that compose, hitting (offense), fielding (defense), and pitching.

Canyon Lake has done well in two of those 3 elements except for their fielding which showed up in this win by producing 3 errors. To put that in perspective, CL has given up 51 runs and bout half (25 runs) has been earned. The rest came as a result of errors which certainly will play a much more pivotal aspect of wins and losses when competing against district brethren.

                    Let’s Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake scored double digit in 3 of the 4 games this week with that one loss to state ranked New Braunfels where 2 runs came across the plate for the Hawks.

Looking at this year’s district opponents on the Standings graph above will show every school with a winning record and that magnifying glass being a tad closer in hopes of having a chance for a post-season season.

Last year, The Lake broke their, no-go to playoff streak, that your Hawks had crafted for 3 seasons during the year after the Wuhan Covid outbreak came right before district and wasting an awesome, 12-2 record collecting cobwebs. (2021-2023 seasons)

                              Go Lake!

This year, district contests will have 2 games for each school which had been 3 games per school. Another change for the better will have those two games during the same week instead of doing a more traditional round-robin schedule.

In this win over Gonzales, Canyon Lake had 19 hits and 11 of those went extra bases. Carter Williams had two homers a double for 8 rbi and Wayen Slania-Werts had two doubles and a homerun.

In the one run loss to New Braunfels, Williams was on the mound and struck-out 13 Unicorns and gave up 5 hits. The Lake was close to pulling an upset except for those little things that were presented but not being able to increase a lead. It was errors that also contributed to this outcome. Hence, in facing district games for the rest of this season needing to be held to a minimum.

It was a good week of ‘Practice’ and now it will be time to perform with a new purpose that eluded this team last year.

Brenan Hughes tripled in the winning run in Hawks win over Comfort, 8-6. Way to Go Lake!

Canyon Lake’s Green answered a Comfort 2 run first inning with a 3 spot the bottom of that same frame for a back and forth affair that had these Visitors tying the score in the top of the 2nd and 4th innings before a Hawk final 2 runs for a time ending win, 8-6.

CJ Rodriguez had a strike-out pitch and (finished with 8) but the flip side showed 5 walks and one hit batter allowing Comfort to put enough players on base to score runs and keep this game close.

Max Ross and Tate Heckman started the bottom of the first with walks before a Brenan Hughes single drew first blood that jettisoned a one run lead and then a Hughes score on a wild pitch giving The Lake a, 3-2 lead.

Comfort would not make this game comfortable tho when they scored a tying run in that 2nd frame without a hit. This menu had two walks a hit batter followed by an error for that score.

The Lake would grab the lead back when Cade Johnson singled and advanced to second on an error. Two passed balls later the Hawks had their lead back.

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

Pitcher Rodriguez got his groove back in that 3rd inning by striking out the side with 11 pitches (9 for strikes) for a quick…good morning—good afternoon—and goodnight for these Bobcat hitters.

Canyon Lake worked two more runs on their at bat when Catcher Greysen Patton had a one pitch hit (his second hit this game) and scored when Rodriguez singled two batters later.

Dalton Hodges followed by taking one for the team (hbp)…then Cade Johnson single produced two insurance runs.

          Way to Stay in Shape Hawks!

CLHS would use those insurance runs for a win the next inning after these Visitors tied the game again scoring 3 runs helped by 3 Hawk errors while sending 9 batters to the plate.

CLake used 3 pitchers to help put out the fire when Reliever Jace McGoldrick, with the bases loaded, struck out that final Bobcat on four pitches.

Canyon Lake would put their finishing touches on this contest when Rowan Edwards drew a walk to start the final inning which was followed by a scorcher triple off the bat of Hughes for what would eventually be the winning run.

The Hawks would score again before the game was called due to time constraints.

It was the 9th win this season as those upcoming games will feature district battles now for a team with high expectations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                        GO HAWKS!!

The Hawk’s Soccer team will start their post-season this Friday at Johnson Hays against Gateway College Prep (17-4-1) where in District 25 finished 2nd place behind Burnet.

The Lake did not finish how they would have liked in losing to Davenport but those memories will need to be short-lived with those important post-season contests come calling this week.

For the rest of this week it will be sports that specializes with balls & bats with CL’s Baseball playing four consecutive days starting on Tuesday on the road at San Antonio Cole with a 12 Noon first pitch.

Canyon Lake will have two home games on Wednesday (Comfort @ 6:30p) and Friday (Gonzales @ 2:00p) with a 5A New Braunfels squad at their house this coming Thursday.

Hopefully a good week that can produce some answers for who solidifies a spot for those Tuesday & Friday’s contests. Pitching will be one of those opening positions with how the defense will be placed on who might win that #2 pitching spot.

Softball started their district play with a loss to Wimberley last Friday and now will see if they might be able to get in the win column when Navarro comes to the Hawk Nest on Friday with a 12 Noon first pitch.

A slow week that will pick up speed the next week on Monday 24th when CL’s Golf plays at Lady Bird Golf Course in Fredericksburg.

Let’s Go Lake!
