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.

The ReSporter: Your thoughts on this team before the season and now…what is something

Tyler Clark drives for the basket as Andrew Riali looks on

you have seen that you did not expect?

Coach Chapman: “I think we are finally shaping up to be the team I expected in the pre-season. We are getting up and down the court a lot more and using our athleticism to our advantage. We are steadily improving and for the first time maybe in the history of our program we are playing our best going into district. I don’t know if things are happening that I didn’t expect, I am just glad that we are starting to play like I expected.”

The ReSporter: What has happened that you thought would be better?

Coach Chapman: “I thought we would be better with our man defense, which has been our calling card the past few seasons. Fortunately, we have found an alternative (our zone) that has worked really well for us and has allowed us to play more of the style that we would like to play. Now that I have really looked at it and studied it, our personnel is better suited for a zone defense because it allows us to scramble around and get more steals and deflections. We will still play man defense, but the zone has really saved us this year.”

Canyon Lake solved their starting slow mantra when they accumulated 23 points in the first quarter against Gonzales and coasted to their final non-district win, 52-39 last Tuesday night at the Hawk Gym.

“We finally came out from the start at home and made a statement,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “I feel a lot better now than I did two weeks ago and we have come a long way…we are ready to play.”
