How good was this year’s Seniors for the Hawk Basketball team?   This will go down as the best Senior Class, as this group of players had to overcome years of bad karma in the Hawk Hoop World.

The ReSporter will base this article on the past two years, but some of these Seniors contributed to the Hawk basketball team for a 3 year period.

Tyler Williams and Rory Preiss were two of those mainstays that played well enough as Freshman to catch the eye of Head Coach Lucas Chapman.

Canyon Lake only had platitudes for that old saying, ‘ we will get them next year’.

The Hawks could not get their last 3point shot off as time ran out on Canyon Lake in a razor thin loss to Navarro in Bi-District Playoffs, 46-43.

“I was very proud of our guys and how hard we competed. We certainly didn’t come out on top due to lack of effort,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “We had some guys step up and play really good games. Tyler did an outstanding job for us. He protected the paint and basket well and pretty much shut down their big man. Charlie (McIntosh) came in and gave us some great minutes.  Jacob (Ramirez) played a really solid all around game. There were others too.”

Canyon Lake had the opportunities as the Hawks started the game with a solid first quarter but a repeat of their first game with the Panthers boomeranged after scoring 7 points while Navarro poured in 18 in taking a halftime lead, 30-23.

  Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake’s Bus was seen at Boerne High School for their final District 28-4A contest, however, the players did not get off the bus as the Hawks laid an egg in their loss to the Greyhounds, 68-39.

CL will now wait for Wimberley and Navarro to decide which team will play the Hawks as these two schools will have a playoff this Friday in New Braunfels to decide the 1st and 2nd seed for District 27-4A.

The Hawks will have the loser of that contest and they will have the Bi-District contest next Tuesday.

Canyon Lake fell off the truck in the 3rd quarter in their loss to Fredericksburg on Friday night at the Hawk Nest, 64-49.

The Hawks carved out a 27-25 advantage going into the halftime locker room after Sophomore Parker Mott had a steal underneath CL’s basket on an inbound pass and scoring at the horn for the lead.

That was the type of plays needed and for those first two quarters the Hawks had held their own in a battle with the top two teams in District 28-4A.

Canyon Lake (15-12) wins their first road game since the Christmas Break opening a nice, 55-45 present at Hondo this past Tuesday.

“I thought we did good as we grinded out a tough win against a desperate team,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman assessed. “Defensively we really locked in and played well.”

CL held the Owl’s leading scorer to pedestrian numbers helping the Hawks to keep a comfortable lead.

“Our focus was stopping their point guard,” Coach Chapman said. “He averages about 15 points a game, and we held him to 5 point and that came at late in the game.”

Canyon Lake’s Freshman team started with a spark but in those two middle quarters that spark was doused with some shaky shooting and 12 turnovers giving Boerne all they needed to survive, 44-36.

The Hawks finished with 3 players getting to double figures but the other players were as cold as ice totaling 4 points as reinforcements did not get back in time to save this Hawk Team.
