Canyon Lake made turkey out of Yellowjackets in feast over Llano, 72-35 at the Hawk Nest on Tuesday.

The Hawks had an early game scheduled as the students had been released for Thanksgiving Holidays and CL released some major hurt on Llano as the first quarter 17 point advantage would only be increased during the next 3 quarters as the offense and defense played sharp games.

“We executed well,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman started. “This game scared me because we were playing in the morning and it was right before a holiday.”

Many times a coach has no idea of how their team will perform when you have so many distractions like mentioned above.

Noah Gray has 7 steals in win over Fox Tech

Canyon Lake’s JV unleashed an avalanche of athletes on the Buffaloes as their home debut was successful, 54-29.

“We got after them which gave us a lot of second chance opportunities,” Head JV Coach Brian Hooper said. “We have a lot of players and depth.”

The Hawks JV squad held the Buffaloes less than 10 points for each quarter as their lead grew with pressure and a good all around game.

With 16 steals, CLJV, opened up their offense by a great defense as Fox Tech could never find the room to have offensive power.

Canyon Lake controlled the boards to the tune of 58 rebounds and 30 of those bounds came on the offensive side of the court.

Canyon Lake evened their record over Fox Tech Buffaloes as 4 Hawks finished the game with double figure scoring, 60-50.

Jacob Pistokache 3 pointers help spark Hawk Stampede

Joseph Boyd led CL with 13 points followed in succession by Tyler Williams (12), Jacob Pistokache (11), and Gerrit Wilkins (10) in this win.

The Hawks shot 52% from the floor in forging the victory after scoring 17 points in the decisive second quarter taking a 1 point first quarter deficit to their margin of victory and a 10 point lead into halftime.

With 18 Hawk steals the Buffaloes could not find enough grass in the Hill Country to graze and this eventual loss.

Tech did increase their 1 point 2nd quarter lead to 3 points which would be the Buffaloes largest lead in the game.

Canyon Lake Broadcasting’s Future

The idea was a simple one as we started thinking through the next phase of having the students at Canyon Lake highlighted in a market that leaves CL in the dark for the most part.

Yes, the New Braunfels’ paper covers the Hawks but for obvious reasons this paper has many other schools that are much larger that demands their attention.

Hence, The ReSporter and now Canyon Lake Broadcasting (CBL) is in their first year of working football games for the Hawk Nation.

Recent Grad Haden Lee

Canyon Lake was blessed with many students that excelled with their sport from the football field to soccer field and diamond to hard wood.

Two athletes were voted as the MVP of their sport which was a record for the Hawks and the list below has all the athletes The ReSporter was told of accomplishments.

Bailey Drum in Volleyball and Haden Lee for Football topped the list for this past season and as Seniors will look forward to seeing how these two will adjust to College as Drum will be off to Angelo State University and Lee as aspirations of walking on and compete for an opening at Texas State.

Congratulations for an entertaining year as the Hawk Nation will now look forward to seeing more CL students this coming school year.

Jacob Ramirez is looking forward to next year’s Season

The Basketball Season for Canyon Lake turned over their previous years by making the playoffs for the first time in their history, but it was those turnovers of a different nature that caused the downfall as the Hawks lost their battle with the Ducks, 73-43, on Tuesday night in Cedar Creek.

CL had been averaging just 16 turnovers per game these past few weeks but the butterflies won on this night as the Hawks finished with 23 against a team that was very athletic.

Those passes against Yoakum became a hazard in playing Taylor as these players had the quickness and the ability to close those passing lanes and turn that Hawk pass into an overage of points in this win.

Canyon Lake had those turnovers lead to 26 points and what turned out to be a 30 point loss.

The good news? Canyon Lake started 3 Juniors while the Ducks had 4 Seniors start this contest.
