Canyon Lake looked good in beating the Aggies this past Tuesday night at the Hawk Nest with a satisfying, 76-39 victory.

“I was worried about this game going in,” Head Coach Luke Chapman recalled. “We did a good job and played with emotion and energy and sustained it throughout the whole game.”

The Hawks had 3 players reach double figures with 14 coming from a starter in Rory Preiss and the other two players shared 11 points a piece coming off the bench.

Charlie McIntosh and Bennie Brownlee were those players that continued their pressure on the Aggies after scoring 22 combined points coming off the bench.

Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks

The busy season begins this first week of the new year as Canyon Lake Basketball readies for District 28-4A starting soon and Soccer’s scrimmage season was off and running last Friday. Add some water for Swimming and you have the start of more action as each week continues to spring up.

With the Girl’s Basketball games last week, the Hawks had the same result as the Boy’s team with an 0-fer during their first tournament after the Christmas Break, in Burnet.

There were some heavyweights in attendance with Fredericksburg giving CL a heavy dose of what they can expect when district games start. The 12th Ranked, Billies won their game convincingly over the Hawks and now a game with Lampasas on Monday will be the final tune-up game before the real contests start on January 10th.

The Lady Hawks will have Friday off and wait for another Top 25 State opponent in Boerne starts off district play.

One morsel of hope you can conclude from those tournament games last week was having 4 games with 4 or 5 freshman playing in those battles. The Holiday season had many players missing in action and those returning players can only help.

   Happy New Year & Go Hawks

CL’s Boys got back on track with a good game in beating Karnes City for the Badgers first loss of the season.

This game had some good signs, as the Hawks battled back throughout the contest in winning by 7 points as things fell into place in the 4th quarter. After suffering a bad 4 games in Fredericksburg’s Tournament, this win was needed.

Canyon Lake will face Poteet and Navarro this week with a home game this Tuesday and a short drive to Navarro for the Friday tilt. The Poteet squad has a loss to Hondo and Navarro before the Christmas Break which will help give the Hawks an idea of how they might rank with future games after facing the Poteet Aggies.

Swimming will have their one scheduled meet this month in Burnet as the Hawks will look to improve on their win in that same water last December during the 4A & Under State Championship.

Other Sports are coming with Softball as the next sport coming out of their egg shell as this time of year there is no rest for the weary.

Look for those Basketball home games to be, ‘On the Air’, when Canyon Lake’s Broadcasting will bring those games to you by Live Stream.

If you do not have the link, then The ReSporter will post that information before each contest. You can come to this weekly article to check out when those games will be ready to tip-off.

Happy New Year and Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake Freshman won their game over St. Paul Austin last Friday after outscoring the Guardians 10-1 in overtime for a final score, 46-37.

Benjamin Rowe is all smiles after sinking important Free Throws 

The Hawks went into their half-time locker room talk after a lethargic level of play during the first two quarters.

“Coach told us to take care of the ball and be more aggressive,” Nic Rivera said. “Our pick and row started working and every time we ran it I had a chance to either get the ball to ‘Rico’ (Zachery Griffin) or take it.”

“We were needing a wake-up call,” Rylee Spaulding recalled. “We were lazy on defense and we were just out of it….but the second half we got aggressive.”

The Hawks finally shook the cobwebs off their basketballs after scoring 10 points for the shorter period in giving CL a 9 point advantage when the final horn sounded in this win.

Rory Preiss scored 21 points in win over Karnes City  (photo by Karen Holmes)

Karnes City brought their undefeated 18-0 season to the Hawk Nest and left a defeated team with a Hawk hard fought win, 55-48.

That 7 point victory was not as easy as it might look as Canyon Lake was fighting from behind for most of this contest. The Badgers jumped out to an, 11-2 lead as CL had committed 7 turnovers in the first 5 minutes in digging their 9 point deficit hole.

After a Rory Preiss 2 point shot, Jacob Ramirez would then respond with two 3 point shots in a row drawing the game back to a one point contest with 1:43 left on that first quarter clock.

KC had another 3 pointer to end this first stanza up by 4 points, as this undefeated team showed a lot of talent on the court.

Canyon Lake’s JV team scored 18 points in the first quarter and coasted to a 42 point victory over KCJV as the Badgers struggled scoring 14 points in the contest winning, 56-14.

Those 2 Badger points were scored early in that first quarter and then a dry spell for the Badgers allowed the Hawks to forge to a 21-2 lead before the next KC point with just 3 minutes before halftime intermission.

After the 3rd period, Canyon Lake, enjoyed a 37 point advantage with all hands on deck. Every Hawk had some stat to show off with no drop off as the Hawk bench looked like a game for musical chairs.

Canyon Lake just finished their 4 game tournament at Fredericksburg needing to go to a beauty salon after some ‘ugly’ games coming from the tourney 0-fer.

Offense was not in gear for these contests as the Hawks averaged 38.3 points having just 6 players able to break into the double digit cumulative scoring.

Canyon Lake has not been noted for being a Basketball school as the Boys are still looking for their first winning season while the girls have been to 2 playoff games and had a splendid team during the 2009-10 season with a final 19-10 record as their high water mark.

Those days for the Girls has been long gone while the Boys still yearn for any resemblance of a year that Hawk Girl’s Team accomplished during that magical season.

That would explain on how Canyon Lake has both Boy’s and Girl’s squads sporting records over .500 during the Christmas Break which has happened just once in 2011.

For the Boy’s, they would not win another game until the 2012-13 after reaching 9 wins before Christmas that year.

Sean Nolan is still holding on to his Block Record while holding off Tyler Williams.

The ReSporter has the Top 10 for All-Time Boys Basketball and some present players who are on the list below.

The ReSporter has also added current players with their present stats so you can see how far they are in cracking that group of Top 10 Hawks.

Hope you enjoy going, ‘ Back to the Future’, in looking at these young man and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
