Rory Preiss has 8th straight game with double digit scoring

Canyon Lake beat Bandera and now enjoys a 2-1 District 28-4A record as they wait for a State Ranked Boerne team on next Friday.

The Hawks did not look sharp in this win but there were times not to long ago that CL’s basketball team would have taken any type of victory in district play.

“We played with great effort and energy,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “Our defense was ok but we had too many turnovers and too many missed shots.”

But a win is a win and that will have to suffice even when the team is not playing at their peak level.

With these two district wins, Canyon Lake has already tied or beaten 5 other Hawk years in Basketball lore for victories in district play.

This conquest tied last year’s total and the next win, Canyon Lake, will be tied with the all-time best win total in Hawk history at 14. The 2008-09 Hawk team stood with that total in the Hawks 2nd year of play.

Basketball Coach Lucas Chapman

The ReSporter: How do you find that magic potion in getting consistency from your players?

Coach Chapman: “We just have to continue to talk about it and emphasize it. It’s about trying to do all the little things each and everyday. Those little things make the big things happen. If you don’t do a good job of taking care of the little things, then the wins and successes don’t come. We just have to stay with the process.”

The ReSporter: This group of Seniors will have a chance of being the first to have a chance to make the playoffs, what has separated this group from the past teams?

Canyon Lake fell flat in loss to Fredericksburg, 56-34, as the Hawks will go back to work this Friday when Bandera comes to town.

Alternative Pest Control says          Go Hawks

Fredericksburg beat Bandera, 73-22 giving the Hawks a bragging point in that they scored 12 points more than the Bulldogs.

Not what most teams need to be contemplating but CL had a chance to have a win that they could point to in giving them some stature. That game will have to wait a while longer.

Rory Preiss was the only Hawk to get into double digit scoring with 11 points and leading the team accounting for 8 rebounds.

Preiss has averaged 14 points in his past 7 games where he has reached double digit points consecutively.

Not much else to see hear as Canyon Lake will need to forget this game quickly as a 34 point game will not instill much confidence in this offense.

This week’s Friday game will be broadcast on the CLB network and you can get linked up on this site if you are wanting to hear or see how Canyon Lake will respond after this loss.

Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake has had a 3rd quarter just like the one the Hawks administered to Hondo on Friday after beating the Owls, 56-41 for their first district win.

On Tuesday of this week, Canyon Lake came out of their halftime locker room down just two points against Wimberley, 25-23 and then proceeded to hand over the keys to their car to the Texans after suffering a 17 point downfall and eventual loss during that 3rd quarter game.

This time, Canyon Lake found that they could administer that same type of pain to Hondo by outscoring the Owls 18 points and turning a 3 point deficit to a 15 point advantage to open the second half.

      Go Hawks Beat Hondo

Canyon Lake had a tough go at it last Tuesday as both Varsity Basketball Teams took it on the chin.

The Girls hosted the Boerne Greyhounds and this game was over quick as the State Ranked Greyhounds had a good all-round game with a heavy dose of offense and a lethal half court trap that kept the Hawks with very few offensive opportunities.

CL Girls will be on the road on Friday as they travel to Hondo to meet up with an Owls team that have been ranked earlier this year. Hondo lost their game with Bandera last Tuesday and will not be a happy team when CL enters their gym.

Canyon Lake ran out of gas in comeback losing to Navarro last Friday, 62-55.

The Hawks had their tank go dry in the 2nd quarter scoring 7 points and leaving CL needing more petro in order for completing a comeback win.

That 7 point deficit at half had the Panthers keeping the pressure on as they increased their lead to 11 points with 4 minutes remaining in the game.

Sharpshooter Sam Schimank scored 16 points in Win over Navarro

Canyon Lake’s JV continues to play at a high plateau after another convincing battle this time against the Navarro Panthers winning, 51-38 on the road last Friday night.

The scoring was dominated by Sam Schimank from the outside and Michael Harwell from the inside. Both players had their moments that helped carry the Hawks to this win after starting the tip-off with a tie ending the first quarter 13 all.

From there to the final horn, CL was in total control with a mind boggling 18 steals. In the first half Canyon Lake had 13 of those thefts which kept the Panthers with their paws trying to pass or shoot the ball.

That defense was impressive but the offense did their job as well with 13 assists and getting the ball to an open man paid dividends as all the guards combined for every assist.

Harwell was the main Hawk with the steals totaling 6 and leading the team cleaning the glass with 9 for this 13 point victory.

The Hawk JV team crushed the Poteet Aggies last Tuesday after storming to a 17-4 first quarter and then coasting to the game’s end winning, 63-29.

Three CL players had double figure scoring with Hank Jordan accumulated 19, Michael Harwell scored 15 and Anthony Zavala was strong off the bench finishing with 10 points and 8 rebounds.

“I’m happy with the win,” Harwell started on how this team will take this game into the next two contests. “I am looking forward to seeing us play really well as a team.”

Harwell reminds you of the ‘Ever Ready Battery’ commercial as there is non-stop action when this young man goes after the rock.
