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.

Canyon Lake’s Freshman squad came out of the gate shooting and used that 11 point first quarter lead

DJ Dorroh, Heath McDonough, Rory Preiss relax after another win over Wimberley Freshman

for their second victory over the Texans this season.

In their first match, CL forged a hard fought overtime win, but in this game shooting 50% for the game allowed this Hawk team to get enough cushion to finish off Wimberley.

Take DJ Dorroh for instance, this young man was perfect from the floor as he made all of his five shots and two free throws to boot.

“We were just moving the ball around and getting good shots,” Dorroh said perfectly. “Then in the second half we were getting too confident and started slowing down.”

Senior Andrew Riali passed Matt Magness as the all-time leading scorer for Canyon Lake in game against Wimberley

A common phrase when thinking about how close someone or team came to winning or making a winning shot.

Wimberley was on the foul line with a one point lead when their shooter missed with six seconds left in the game.

Sean Nolan got the rebound and passed it off for one last chance with Andrew Riali in place with a pass that was fumbled and then grabbing the ball from the floor and heaving a shot from 30 feet which found nothing but the bottom of the net.

Game over and a last second win…..except the shot was just after the horn sounded ending the game.

Hawks go over strategy during a time-out

Canyon Lake Boys Basketball does not have much time to get their act together for a playoff spot.

There is still a chance for the Hawks to make the High School Dance thanks in part to an UIL ruling that allows 4 teams to qualify from each district.

This week’s game with Wimberley will be pivotal in this quest as a win would put CL in a position to make a statement this year.

The football team pulled off two rounds of playoffs with a losing record, but the difference in these two scenarios was the Hawks finishing 3rd when they finished their district season.

Junior Skyler Tschoepe readies for a 3 pointer

Canyon Lake’s first quarter started so bad that the score was Skyler Tschoepe 10 and Wimberley 27 in the second quarter.

In fact the first Hawk not named Tschoepe to score was Isaac Mendez with a little less than four minutes left in the first half.

Tschoepe finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds in a game that was hard to find a positive vibe.

Canyon Lake had 19 points in the first half which also matched the number of turnovers for a Hawk team that found it hard to beat a press put on by the Texans.

The Hawks would pull within 11 points with an 8 point run to start the second half, but after Luke Curry scored five points in a 10 second period out spurt the Basketball gods decided to let this hot Hawk to go down with an ankle injury.
