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.”

Canyon Lake finished their final tune up before a District game against Bandera this coming Monday.

Antonian and St. Michael won their games by giving up just one error in the two games.
Hence the Hawks were not as fortunate as they totaled seven errors and leaving the door open for the damage.

Canyon Lake is very young and are starting two freshman in the middle of the infield, so needing repetition is a prerequisite for getting that part of the game under control.

Travis Walker pitched a complete game in the morning game and kept the Hawks close enough to pull out the game.

Michael Brady took the loss in the afternoon affair as St. Michael beat the Hawks for the second time this season.

The ReSporter would like to thank Mike Brady for his help with supplying the box

Leftfielder/Pitcher Kyler Huff

score information.

When the Spring Sports hit in February, the ReSporter has many plates on the table and it makes getting to all the games a hard venture.

Softball and Baseball with over 20 games for the season would be enough for anyone, but when you add boys and girls Track, Soccer, etc…then you can see how hard getting to all the games can become.

Once again, the help from Mr. Brady has been immeasurable and The ReSporter would like to say Thank-You for your help.

The Hawks lost to Hays Consolidated last Tuesday at Concordia University near Austin.

The Hawks took care of Austin Eastside Memorial Panthers in short order Saturday morning for their final contest of the Lockhart Tournament.

The game was set when Canyon Lake answered the bell with six runs to open the first inning.

The Panthers were handling the baseballs like they were wearing paws from their mascot, as the eight errors allowed CL to amass 18 base runners for the shortened contest.

Logan Felch made his presence known with two hits and three run batted in, with two of the hits going for doubles. Felch had one double off the wall and was hit with some degree of authority.

The Canyon Lake Baseball team is still searching for first win of season while they go 0-2 at Lockhart Tournament.

The Hawks will play their final game Saturday morning starting at 9:00 am.

Their next home game will be Tuesday, February 28 against Hays. The first pitch will be 7pm.

Canyon Lake started the 2012 campaign on the road, Tuesday against Marble Falls in a

Junior Daniel Camarillo

hard fought loss, 9-5.

The Hawks are a very young team again this season and look to improve as the younger players get more innings under their belt.

The top of the batting order had an impressive on base percentage of .750 for the game which bodes well for having opportunities to score runs.

Daniel Camarillo carved out three hits while knocking in two runs as he continued his hot steak that started last year.

Travis Walker starts his third campaign for the Hawks with two hits and two RBIs against the Mustangs.

It wasn’t that long ago that the Canyon Lake Baseball team was coming back from a second round loss to Hidalgo after taking the 27-5 team to a three game playoff and one hit from making the third round.

The Hawks were then hit with a slew of injuries and players moving to give the 2011 season a rebuilding campaign.

So now, one year later, Canyon Lake will now enter this season with only one returning Senior (Dylan Adams) and two strong classes that have the potential to surprise some district foes.

How about, Travis Walker in his third year on the varsity. The catcher/third baseman/pitcher will be wearing a lot of hats.

The Canyon Lake Gold Juniors baseball team took their final game on the chin, but the overall effect of a great season will always be best memory of the season.

Yes, the game did go to Seguin, but in the end the Gold team won 18 games on the season with a paltry four loses. That is the score that can be remembered by the players, Coaches, and fans.

The team had endured many games and highlights, “I had been with the team for a long time and enjoyed their last year,” a reflecting Coach Eddie Avey said. “It has been great getting to know the kids.”

The Canyon Lake All-Stars could not hold Seguin down long enough to wrestle a win in the double elimination contest, Friday in New Braunfels Junior Field. The loss will pit the Hawks against the Seguin and New Braunfels losing team next Wednesday, July 6th.

Canyon Lake was the home team and had the advantage of batting last, but battling an eight run deficit proved to big of a hurdle to overcome in the last inning.

The error bug was the culprit in the earlier innings as the fielding allowed Seguin to score multiple runs without the benefit of hits. Unfortunately for the Hawks, the runs count the same no matter how the opposition crosses the plate.

The Canyon Lake Gold and Green teams played one more game to settle who would take out the trash.

The Juniors baseball season had concluded last week, but the two teams with the same home town on their name did not play each other until now. The Green team is composed of mostly eighth graders and the Gold team seventh.

Going to the same school will entice the players to talk, and to put it succinctly the ReSporter got news from a Dad, that their was some ‘Trash’ talking between some players that needed to be resolved on the diamond.
