Joseph Boyd move up to Varsity will play a big roll for the Hawks!

Canyon Lake had a tough week on the hard wood as both Girl’s and Boy’s teams came up short in losses to Wimberley and La Vernia.

The culprits? It the ReSporter said Free Throws and Turnovers then you would have an idea of led up to those defeats.

In their game with La Vernia on Friday, the Varsity Girls played a the Bears close throughout the contest but after losing the lead right before halftime, the Hawks never could capture the lead back.

With 25 turnovers and shooting 38% from the line the dye had been cast by the end of the game.

Emma Gray continued to excel with another double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

HAWKS JV HAVE PANTHERS SEEING RAINBOWS

Junior Bennie Brownlee poured in 22 points in win over Navarro JV

The CL Junior Varsity team won their second district game with a win over Navarro, 73-53.

CLJV is now averaging 70 points per game in district play as this game had 3 players leading the charge.

Bennie Brownlee led the scoring with a cool 22 points followed closely by Joseph Boyd (19) and Ryner Martin scoring 17.

“I still come out the same and try to be a leader,” Brownlee started when asked about the transition from Varsity to JV. “This is where it counts and we are in the part of the season when we have more games because we are playing in district.”

GO HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake will be traveling to Navarro this Tuesday as the district schedule is getting started during the first round of games.

The Hawk Ladies will have a tough game as they lost their first district game last Saturday against Gonzales.

The Lady Panthers are undefeated in district so far sporting a 3-0 record with a 16-7 season.

This will be a tough game to turn the table for Canyon Lake as they have been suffering on the offensive side of the court in points as that has become a precious commodity during the past few games.

CL had several players that were not available for their tournament and last week’s game with Gonzales.

That alone should make Canyon Lake more competitive for Tuesday’s contest.

Rory Preiss finishes with a double-double in win over Gonzales

Canyon Lake started their season in grand style as they walloped Gonzales, 70-32 on their first District 26-4A game.

“We did exactly what we needed to do and played well,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said with a smile. “We did a good job of looking like we were playing during the first of this season.”

The Hawks had 3 players breaking double digit scoring as Rory Preiss finished with a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

“We went out and did what we needed to do and played hard and did not sink to their level of play,” Preiss pressed.

The Hawks finished non district play this week after a 1-3 record in the Fredericksburg Tourney.

Will Gray is hoping the Hawks are prepared for start of the District Season.

Now Canyon Lake will see if they can put their best foot forward for another try of making the playoffs.

The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach Lucas Chapman to talk about how this team will perform.

The ReSporter: What was your main problem in the Tourney this past week?

Coach Chapman: “Poor defense and turnovers. We shot the ball pretty well from the field during the tournament, but when you turn it over you waste possessions and you can’t score. We also did a poor job of keeping teams out of the paint defensively, and allowing a few opposing players to put up some big points against us.”

The ReSporter:  Did see some good things studying the stats, Will Gray did keep his turnover rate low and also led the team in rebounds for those 4 games. Is having Gray lead in rebounds a good stat to have?
Coach Chapman: “I think a lot of that had to do with our poor defense and really not having many opportunities to rebound the ball defensively. I don’t think we did a bad job of rebounding during the tournament, and I don’t necessarily care who gets the rebounds as long as they are wearing green and gold.” (more…)

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity Missed 3 Pointer Shy of Win

Guard Ryner Martin scored 18 points on 6 3point shots

CLJV started their game with Boerne in a hole as the Greyhounds literally scored 14 of the first 17 points in the contest.

But that is when the Hawks would finally open the lid off their goal and got their offense in gear.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, Canyon Lake would unleash four 3 pointers to take the lead after the buzzer sounded to end the first quarter, 16-15.

That show was from the shot of Ryner Martin and Bennie Brownlee to end that stanza.

These two sharp shooters finished with 18 and 11 points respectfully.

Ryner made three 3pointers and Brownlee topped that with a 4 point play on his made 3point goal.

Hilltop ReSorter: What will you do different in your game with Boerne after last week’s convincing loss?

       GO HAWKS!!

Coach Chapman: “We will definitely work some more zone offensive stuff. We hadn’t really played a zone team all year, so we haven’t had much work against it. We will really emphasize and focus on attacking a zone today and tomorrow during practice. We will also hopefully show up and play with much more passion and effort than we did on Saturday.”

The ReSporter: This game on Friday will tell if the team can come back from that loss like they have been coming back in deficits during an actual game such as last night’s affair.

Coach Chapman: “Yeah it will be a good barometer of who we really are. Boerne is definitely not 30 points better than us, but if we don’t show up and get after it then that result can happen. I just want us to go out and compete and get after it. When we do that we can compete with anyone.”

The ReSporter: What are some victories you can take from the games up to this point? (more…)
