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.

The result of the lesson learned gave a new focus and a knock out punch to end the season with a solid victory over the Red Sox.

The Canyon Lake Hawks have been in a funk the past few weeks and now is the time to draw the line in the sand.

You remember the scene in The Alamo, when Colonel Travis drew a line in the sand to find out who would stay and fight.

The Hawks have found themselves at the end of the season grasping for something to tide them over as they wait for reinforcements. (more…)

Coming to a Canyon Lake baseball game is better than going to the movies. It is entertainment galore, in the Press Box you will get more than just a player’s name.

Mike Nelson is finishing another year behind the ‘mike’ and the job is not just someone telling you who is coming to the plate.

Nelson puts hours of work into his craft. The foul ball hitting glass? Mike has a certain time frame on when the button is punched and the audience is hearing the glass breaking. (more…)

Canyon Lake lost to Fredericksburg last Friday night at Hawk diamond, 7-6. If you go to a fight, then you would like to know that you have enough ammo for the skirmish.

Canyon Lake has been fighting an uphill battle most of the season, with several key Seniors gone from last year and a much younger team getting, in game, experience.

With only 10 players suited up for the game against Fredericksburg, the Hawks almost pulled out the win.

Canyon Lake was cruising with a 5-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning when the wheels came off the wagon. (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…)

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.

The Hawks gave Jenkins some breathing room jumping out to a four run lead before he had to take the mound.

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…)

The Canyon Lake Hawks will conclude their first half of district play this Friday when they host Boerne Greyhounds. (more…)
