Canyon Lake got going two quarters too late in their loss to Llano on Tuesday night at the Hawk gym as Llano jumped out to a 35-20 halftime lead and CL could not close the gap to get back into this game against the Yellowjackets.

Senior Nic Adams Scores 24 in game with Llano

“We gave them too much space,” Head Coach Luke Chapman said. “Llano did a good job of speeding up the game with their press and we have to do a better job of getting a better defense against them.”

Nic Adams and Sean Nolan both ended with double figure point totals but CL’s 33% shooting accuracy was not a good indication of good things for the Hawks in this contest.

Adams finished with 24 points and putting that number into perspective. Adams had 26 points last season for the entire year.

“We need to work on getting stops on defense,” Adams said. “Their ball movement got them the lead, but we need to contest more shots.”

“This wasn’t a bad game as we had improved on what we were working on against the press,” Adams continued.”

Nolan was his usual self by controlling the inside and being perfect from the floor with his three shots.

Canyon Lake’s Freshman team held off the Llano Yellowjackets after running out to a six point lead in the first half and won with defense and clutch free throw shooting, 50-46, last Tuesday night before the Thanksgiving break.

Hank Jordan and Joseph Boyd are all smiles after scoring a combined 28 points in win over Llano

“They are all new to me,” Head Freshman Coach Javier Almanza said. “I am trying to get used to them and them with me…they are learning to speed of the game.”

“They started pretty well and handling the press,” Coach Almanza continued. “But then we settled down and we had to get back to what we were doing (earlier in the game).”

Llano got their first lead, 35-33 at the two minute mark of the third period as these Yellowjackets were stinging mad coming out of their halftime break.

The lead got as much as six points, 40-34 as Canyon Lake was stuck on that 26 point level until Joseph Boyd was able to sink two free throws to finally get the second half going.

“This was our first home game and Coach said that we were rushing and taking bad shots,” Boyd said astutely.

On how this team was doing compared to last season at Mountain Valley, “Not much has changed,” Boyd said. “We still staying about the same as last year, but communication is sometimes a problem and today we did pretty good.”

The Reporter would like to thank all the many readers that have frequented this website this past year.

The ReSporter would like you to Vault into next year by placing an Ad on this site.

This has been a very successful year for the website as each month this season had more visits than any previous month since we started four years ago.

The ReSporter had 315 articles this past school year and since starting this quest, The ReSporter, has finished a total of 1,159 posts or articles.

Another way of saying, a lot of stories.

Now it is time for The ReSporter to take a few months off and hopefully come back with enough energy to get another year finished.

Our apologies for these past couple of weeks, The ReSporter, has suffered ‘Burn Out’ much like many of the Seniors have suffered from Senioritis.

With that being said, The ReSporter would like to invite you to think about helping with posting an Ad through this venue.

Since, The ReSporter, likes numbers then chew and calculate how these stats might help your business.

The * for 2010-11 represents just three months as this endeavor started after the basketball season that year, so those numbers will not have the same amount of days you could visit.

This also shows how each year has topped each previous season which should hopefully give you an idea of what might happen this coming school year.

SA and NB for the cities represent San Antonio and New Braunfels. Austin and San Marcos were right behind those two cities giving you an idea of how far this site can reach what you might be needing to sell or get across to your audience.

Thanks once again for showing support for this site and know that an Ad would cost $50 per semester and an extra $35 if you would like to have your Ad placed with articles, which many of you have noticed we started doing this past spring.

Riali’s (113) also finished second in made free throws trailing only Matt Magness who is still on top with 120 for his career.

Biding His Time

Tanner McGill has been seen throughout this school year and with little to show for his presence.

Sophomore Tanner McGill

McGill was a transfer this year and yet his paperwork with the UIL has taken until now for getting clearance to play Varsity sports.

“Finally,” McGill said. “I’m happy it is finally over but sad that it took this long…but the wait was worth it. Now I can start work and try to help the baseball team.”

McGill has a Sophomore classification, but in football he would of been the back up quarterback until he was relegated to Junior Varsity this past season.

Isaac Mendez has one of his best games in final contest against Bandera

Canyon Lake ends season on a losing note as the Hawks said good-bye to four Seniors who played their last game.

Bandera finished off the Hawks, 67-48, as CL once again started the game in a whole as the Bulldogs finished that first quarter in the lead, 18-7.

Isaac Mendez did have one of his best games of the season on this night as he was the only Hawk in double figure scoring finishing with 12 points and also chipped in with 9 rebounds which also led the Canyon Lake effort.

Canyon Lake did finish the season as the all time leading Hawk team with steals, rebounds, and blocks per game.

Those numbers still did not translate into victories as CL finished the season without a district win.

Conversely Canyon Lake also finished this season as the worst team for defense, assists, and turnovers was only 3 away from leading in that category (2009 team had 3 more turnovers).

The Hawk Seniors did make their presence known for their last game: Andrew Riali, Tyler Clark, Isaac Mendez, Javier Mendez, and Luke Curry.

Player Quotes:
On what you think about last game and what wisdom for younger players:
Senior Isaac Mendez: “This went by quick….you can’t take days off and I hope for a different season than what we did.”
Senior Javier Mendez: “The season ending kind of stinks….the players got to understand the harder you work, the better you get.”
Senior Andrew Riali: “It is hard to say good-bye….this year all I wanted to do is concentrate on basketball. The players have to practice three times harder and work on what you are worse at doing. Work over the
Summer as much as you can on dribbling skills, finishing, and free throws.”
Senior Luke Curry: “We were building blocks for future teams.”
Junior Garrett Winters: “Ultimately, I would like to win some basketball games next year. We need to reduce our turnovers and just take care of the ball.”

The ReSporter will have final stats for the year and all-time stats tomorrow.

Canyon Lake Boys will be at Home for their last game of the season with Bandera this Tuesday night

This Week at Canyon Lake

Last week was a ‘Lost in Weather’ week as many games were not played or the dates changed because of those nasty elements.

The Girls Basketball team did finish their season last Tuesday and next year should have a team starting to make a little more noise as this year’s team was full of underclassman and to top that off, the Junior Varsity girls finished with several wins to end the season.

Boys Basketball will be having their final game at home with Bandera on Tuesday as they too will put those sneakers away for another year.

Garrett Winters ready to attack.

Canyon Lake lost to front runner Fredericksburg in Basketball on Saturday after the scheduled game on Friday was postponed due to weather, 68-45.

Fredericksburg jumped on CL with a 21-8 first quarter and the game was all but over as the Hawks had only eight players ready for action on this rescheduled affair.

Canyon Lake had a decent day of shooting when you take the misses from beyond the arc.

With two shots made out of 16, CL would have a hard time sustaining any sort of rally. From inside the arc, the Hawks made almost half their tries which has been the case for most of this year.

Canyon Lake will be playing their last game for the season this Tuesday night

Canyon Lake Girls Basketball will be in their last game of this season on Tuesday at the Hawk gym.

This has been a rebuilding year for CL as this team has featured Freshman and Sophomores and with that came a lot of growing pains.

On Tuesday night the Hawk Nation will be saying good-bye to Amber Ramsey, Emily Muniz, Cati Harrington, Brianna Young, and Jenna Lann.

Come out this Tuesday night to let these girls know your appreciation for representing Canyon Lake.

The Hawk Boy’s Basketball team will be on the road as they play out their season with only 3 games remaining. Their next home game will be a week from this Tuesday which will also be their season finale.
