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.

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!!

Parker Mott is all smiles after having 7 assists in his first start.

Canyon Lake got their game going in the second half to pull out a win over Jourdanton as the Hawks kept their 3rd straight team to 47 points in the win, 58-47.

“It was ugly,” Head Basketball Coach Luke Chapman said. “We executed in the 2nd half as we put a new offense in and when we ran it, it looked good.”

Ugly wins are still wins and there was a time not too long ago that any type of win would have been accepted like a 6 year old going after presents on Christmas day under the Tree.

The Hawks will take a Christmas Break as they go back to the hard wood in the Fredericksburg Tourney, December 27th and hopefully after opening some presents will reap more improvements in their game.

This contest had CL with a chance to open some presents early with a good night of free throw shooting (84%) from the line and that went a long way in keeping the distance needed for this victory.

Head Basketball Coach               Lucas Chapman

The ReSporter: How low does your turnovers need to be in order to be in games and a chance for wins? You are averaging right at 20 per game after 12 games.

Coach Chapman: “Our goal is to have 15 or less turnovers a game or a 20% turnover rate. Right now we are at a 28% turnover rate, which is way too high. We just have to be more disciplined with the ball and make more crisp passes. That has been our emphasis for a while now, so we will continue to work on it.”

The ReSporter: The team blocks seem to be coming from anyone on the court is that just the athleticism of the team or do you look for match-ups that can give you that type of advantage?

Coach Chapman: “Well we have a lot of size, which always helps. Really we don’t ever talk about blocks. We are more focused on not fouling and taking a charge when we get dribble penetrations, but obviously in certain situations it is nice to have some length and size and get some blocks.” (more…)

Canyon Lake needed an alarm clock to go off earlier after spotting Pleasanton a 19 point lead that could not be overcome in loss, 55-46.

It was the Hawks JV second loss of the year and a exhausting comeback try came up short after reducing the Eagles lead to 5 points in the 4th quarter.

Most of the scoring came from 3 players, Benjamin Rowe (10), Nicolas Rivera (14), and Zachary Griffin (19) points.

Jake Ramirez continues strong play in win over Pleasanton

Canyon Lake’s Dam broke on Pleasanton Eagles as the Hawks rushed out to a 24-1 first quarter on their way to a 59-47 victory on Tuesday night.

The Hawks now sport a 8-5 record with one more game before the Christmas Break.

During the first part of this game, CL, methodically took a 6-0 lead before a time-out by Pleasanton.

After that break, Jacob Ramirez would make two 3 pointers in a row followed by Heath McDonough scoring two baskets on hustle plays and ballooning the lead, 16-1.

CBL will have their first broadcast for the Boys Basketball team on December 13th this Tuesday as the Hawks take on the Pleasanton Eagles.

Canyon Lake sports a 7-5 record entering this non-district match up as the Hawks will be trying to run their win streak to 3 games after winning the last two games in the Canyon Lake Classic Tournament last week-end.
