                Go Lake Beat Calallen!

First, a shout out to our Volleyball Squad who’s first priority this season was to make the playoffs which was accomplished in spades. CL Volleyball went 4 rounds into the post-season losing in a Regional Final which is one step from securing a Final 4 berth.

Congratulations and you can read about this season and what might be in store in The ReSporter’s Volleyball article on this site.

Curtain call for Football next with an Area Round battle this Friday at SW Legacy Stadium with kick-off 700pm. Calallen will be the next foe after disposing of Taylor in the Bi-District game last week.

Canyon Lake will be working on a chance of copying what Volleyball has just finished doing by going further than the 2nd round. The Lake has made it past this next round once back in 2017 for a team that won district and reached the next round.

The ReSporter will have an article for this week’s game while also showcasing records that have been attained this season and what might be in store.

You Make us Proud Hawks now Beat Calallen!

Girls Basketball finished this week with two losses as this year will certainly have a learning environment for a young team taking instructions from a new locally known coach Char Hutson.

This week will feature a home game with YMLA starting at 500pm with CLJV before the tip-off  Varsity following. Then a slew of contests in a 3 day tourney at San Antonio Cornerstone.

Boys Basketball starts their campaign this week on the road in Luling with sub-varsity tipping off at 500pm and then a late 800pm start for the Varsity.

The Boys will finish their week playing Sinton on Saturday with a noon start at the Hawk Nest.

Head Basketball Coach Monte Cole stated, “Starting the season on the road is never easy but kids are excited to get going and ready to play someone other than ourselves every day. I expect us to look pretty good defensively. Luling played zone last year so we’ll get an early look at our zone offense. Sinton is always good so that should be a good game at home Saturday. One thing we have this year is a lot of depth with all 11 guys (Eli Hammons will be 12 later in the year) playing and contributing.” (but that should be more weeks after The Lake beat Calallen)

Let’s Go Lake & Beat Calallen!

Playoff week @ The Lake with CLake’s Volleyball playing a Semi-Final contest against Wimberley in San Antonio. Volleyball has disposed of Legacy Ranch, Cuero and El Campo thus far with a huge hurdle this Tuesday playing the Texans.

A Tall Order but this is why you play the game because you never know what can or will happen. One thing for sure is a Hawk Team that has been playing lights out who beat a Ricebird team much like they were playing in their district schedule by Needville.

The first serve will be at 700pm in San Antonio Blossom Center.

Football will start their post-season at a neutral site in Lockhart High School with kick-off 700pm. Taylor finished second in their Austin district and should be a good game and a chance for CLake to start another year with a bi-district battle.

The Lake had to come back last week by scoring two 4th quarter touchdowns which had CLHS scoring on all 4 possessions in that 2nd half of action.

Basketball has begun and the Ladies took Jefferson to the woodshed scoring a 73-12 victory and will have a home game this Tuesday against Smithville and then on the road to St. Mary’s.

CLake Boys Basketball had their first scrimmage in Lampasas last Saturday and will continue at Manor on Monday with their first regular season contest in Luling November 18th.

Congrats to The Lake’s Volleyball Team and good luck this week.

Go Hawks!

Canyon Lake Boy’s Basketball will commence this weekend with a scrimmage against  Lampasas and hopes of building on last year’s Bi-District appearance.

Some strong players were lost which opens the door for new names in search of putting their names on the lists below.

This Top Ten is visited by several former players in particular Andrew  Riali and others who have played for The Lake.

The ReSporter hopes you enjoy this compilation and look forward in covering new heights this season.

Let’s Go Lake!

                           Let’s Go Lake!

Canyon Lake’s Soccer teams started district play last week and the Girls tied Fredericksburg while the Boys lost to Freddie, 3-1.

Both teams will be back in action twice this week against Bandera Tuesday & Wimberley Friday.

Softball will start their regular season and new Head Coach Hope Gipson had this to say, “Our recent scrimmages have showcased significant growth despite early adversity. Through these challenges, we’ve gained game knowledge, confidence and improvement as a team.”

Coach Gipson continued, “We’ve made strides defensively even while challenging many to expand beyond their original position. Offensively we have learned to execute at the plate, move runners into scoring position, and create chaos with our speed. Overall, our game awareness has increased significantly while working through the many different situations the game of softball puts you in.”

                              Go Hawks!

Coach Gipson will have a home game with Elgin this Tuesday before heading off to the Wurst Tournament starting this Thursday.

Track Season will commence on Friday when Canyon Lake will compete in the Comal Relays in New Braunfels starting at 1:00pm.

CLake’s Boys Basketball secured a berth for the playoffs this past week and will conclude their district at home this Tuesday against Bandera. The ReSporter has the District Records below with an idea of what and who might be in store next.

It’s that time of year when all the days start to fill up with competition and little rest.

BASKETBALL DISTRICT RECORDS

Davenport   8   1   .889

Tuesday Games
Bandera     @   CL Hawks
Wimberley   @   Davenport
Navarro     @   Billies

If the Hawks beat Bandera then they will be a 3rd seed and with a loss coupled with a Navarro win over Fredericksburg those two schools would need a tie-breaker to decide the seeding.

A Hawk loss to Bandera and Navarro loss to Freddie would still have CL as a 3rd seed and a Panther/Billie needing to decide which team gets penciled in as a 4th seed.

This year there are two separate brackets divided by enrollment of the schools.

Largest            Smallest
Davenport          Wimberley
Fredericksburg     Navarro
Canyon Lake        Canyon Lake

Based on the size of schools above, The Lake would have a chance of being in either bracket.
So, if there is a tie between the Billies and Navarro the winner of their play-in game would decide where the Hawks would go….a Navarro win would place CL with Davenport in the large school and a win for the Billies would place your Hawks in that smaller school bracket.

If the Hawks finish in a large school bracket they Austin LBJ and the smaller school bracket would be Lago Vista.

Clear as mud?

Let’s GO LAKE!

Canyon  Lake comes out of huddle with a renewed focus in needing a successful week to secure a playoff spot. Let’s Go Hawks!

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

         Way to Stay in Shape Hawks!

Don’t look now but last Friday’s games was a polar opposite situation that threw this upcoming 2nd round of games into a ‘what will or could happen on this night’ thoughts.

There was 3 upsets when  games that had the home team taking advantage of the scoreboard which will put pressure on some teams while giving new hope to others.

First: The Lake was upset by Bandera resulting in their first victory in district.
Ramifications: Canyon Lake is now in a fight needing wins to secure a spot with little room for set-backs.
Bandera, on the other hand, has been put back on life-support  for their (19-9) squad and only one game behind Navarro for a chance of making some noise.

Wimberley was victorious against Davenport and now finds themselves tied at the top owning a tie-breaker win over the Wolves. These two teams will be fighting for those top 2 post-season spots.

                            Go Hawks!

Navarro won their second game in a row which put Freddie in a need to win scenario for a chance of getting a date for the end of season dance card.

The Lake will have an important contest with the Texans at the Hawk Nest on Tuesday and then will be on the road Friday to play against a Panther team that has a renewed hope for this season presently on a two-game win streak.

Simply put….this Bandera loss, with those two other upsets,  shows more schools being able to put together enough wins for making a play-off run.

The Lake does have 4 of their 5 next contests at the Hawk Nest with hope that this crew of Hawks can rebound with more conquests.

A loss by one point on a night that CLake went to the line for 15 shots and coming away making 6 of those attempts. Simple math for that

major reason for this loss.

An important week that can help secure or put this team in limbo as the season comes down to these last 3 weeks.
