The ReSporter has tabulated this past season in District 27-3A team sports by school and as

you can see last season was not a banner year for Canyon Lake.

If a school finished first then they garnered 1 point and if a school finished last, then they would accumulate 6 points.

So the school with the least amount of points would be the goal.

Canyon Lake is still looking for their first District 27-3A Title in any sport as their best finish is still a second place finish in their history. (Baseball ’10, Softball ’11, Boys Track ’11 and ’12)

This year the top four teams will be able to punch their ticket for a post season berth and if you used that same criteria for last year, then you will see that your Hawks would of only qualified in one team sport.

Football would of been that sport to qualify for a playoff if this new rule would of been in place.

In all the other team sports your Canyon Lake Hawks best finish was fifth place.

Last season in a word was not a banner year and as this new school season approaches, CLHS will have many opportunities to improve on that record.

Boys Basketball will be our next expedition in seeing who might be that player that gets The

Caleb Kreiger had a very impressive year for the Hawks Basketball Team.

ReSporter thoughts on being most valuable as well as that Spotlight Player for this coming season.

Thinking through past players and their worth in numbers and by talking to Coaches made this a tough sport to pick.

Doug Hubnik having such a good year in dishing out assists this past season has to rank up their in how he holds himself,  just  like most of the basketball players has been a joy no matter their record.

Hubnik had more assists than other players have had in a two or three year period.

Matt Magness is another player that is near the top or leading several statistical categories.

 Points Scored:      555       First
 3Point Goals:        52       Third

All Around Boy’s Athlete was announced at the Spring Sports Banquet last Wednesday

Senior Football/Basketball/Track Doug Hubnik

night and The ReSporter did not find it as a shock when that student was announced.

First off, an award with a name that says All-Round would tell you that the person probably plays more than one sport.

The next thing to take in from that criteria would be, does he have to be the best in each of those fields.

The ReSporter is guessing the answer to that question is no, but you would think that they would be near the top with each game they were playing.

Other items that would go with an award like this goes with things that are not seen by an average fan.

Never late for practice and how they handle themselves around the team and coaches when Mr. or Mrs. Public is not watching.

Senior Doug Hubnik nabbed this accolade as he graciously sauntered down from the stands. But sauntering down is certainly not how he played.

Football—Basketball—Track and Field was those three arenas that Hubnik made his second home these past four years and since The ReSporter likes to expound stats for sports, then get ready to digest some tasty numbers.

Hubnik played defensive back for CL Varsity for three years and had an interception for a touchdown two years ago.

On special teams he had the first touchdown by running back a kick-off in that same game with Luling that his interception return was performed.

Offenively, Hubnik was a go to guy for QB Branson Belcher and finished his career as one of the Hawks all time best.

Girls Basketball is next on The ReSporters quest for giving you who based on leadership and playing

ability was the best in each sport as Canyon Lake will be graduating it’s third class this May.

Basketball just had a player that was tops in several categories and has just signed a scholarship to play Volleyball and Basketball.

Katie Williams certainly has the numbers to stake a claim for being the best Hawk in Basketball, but let’s break down some numbers and also see what other players have accomplished throughout the past seven years to get a good grasp of who the pick might be.

Three years ago, CL shocked the Basketball world when they improved 18 games and missed going to the second round by one point and three seconds.

That team will certainly have some nominees for having some well deserving players.

Megan Browning would certainly rank high as she is now playing basketball in Arkansas for Hendrix.

Browning ranks fourth in points scored with 428 and also ranks third in assists with 83 dishes to teammates.

Another player that would be considered a good candidate is Tiffany Arredondo who had the ability to dribble through trouble and presses as well.

Arredondo ranks first in assists (125) which attests to what a point guard should be noted for. Add her 90 steals and 332 points also would tell you how hard it would be to guard a player that can make you pay if you play off to help other players on the court.

Arredondo numbers were cut short when she was hurt before her Senior season and missing several games that would certainly cement her even more for this title of best player.

The ReSporter is now in its fourth year of covering Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian schools. The ReSporter has just finished it’s 1,043rd article and has also had 62,039 visits and 162,238 pages read as of February 5, 2014 stats.

As you know, this site is free for those who would like to frequent these pages after a sporting event. The ReSporter would like to introduce you to a new ‘Ad’ that was added about 10 days ago.

First off, do know that many of the advertisers on this site services The ReSporter’s household and there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that these Companies and people would treat you as well as I am treated by their services.

The ReSporter needs the audience that relies on this coverage to help out by telling these companies/people that you saw their ‘Ad’ on this site.

That way The ReSporter can keep up this coverage as the fall season looms right around the corner.

The money that is raised through our Advertisers goes to gas money, cost for maintenance for this site, and hopefully enough to put away for just cost of living increases.

If this is not realized, then there is a chance that The ReSporter might close shop before the start of next school year.

Just making it known that letting the Advertisers know that they are seen on this site will certainly help with getting, by word of mouth, other companies to also think about advertising with The ReSporter.

Jerry Besselman has been a face that many fans have seen at any Hawk Sporting event that would involve refreshing your tastes.

The ReSporter went on a search to find someone that might have been to more games and events that wasn’t a player or Coach. Besselman fit that bill as the man behind the counter where you will find liquids or food to keep that Hawk fan strong enough to end the game and yelling on their Hawk team flavor of that event.

The ReSporter had an opportunity to get with Besselman at the end of a Hawk Softball game for a formal introduction to you the fan.

The ReSporter: Hey Jerry are you having fun?

Jerry Besselman: “Yes, I get to be around students and they all know my name.”

The ReSporter: Do they know you as Jerry or Besselman?

Jerry Besselman: “There was a time when Coach Nicole Creek needed to get a hold of me to change a time of a game or something like that and she was wanting to look up my phone number. She could not find me because she knew me by my first name. So yes, I’m thinking most of the students and teachers just know me by my first name.”

The ReSporter: Your first year as a Head Coach, what would you do differently as you prepare for next year?

Coach Chapman: “I don’t know if we will do a whole lot differently going forward. I would like to think that if we continue to just do the same things and just continue the process then the results will get better. We will always emphasize the fundamentals like shooting, passing and ball-handling and work on those things day in and day out. Strategically we will do some different stuff such as picking up the pressure on defense, but we are not going to stray too far from what we have started.”

The ReSporter: What is your overall assessment of this year’s team and season?

Coach Chapman: “Although the record and results may not indicate it, I thought we did some really good things this year. Most of all I am proud about how we played and how we conducted ourselves. We played the game the right way, acted right and represented Canyon Lake the right way. We had a really good stretch of games in December where we played at a high level. We also set some individual records for the program, and we finally won a district game. I think what we did this year was lay the foundation for the future and with the program where it is now, that’s what we needed.”

The Canyon Lake JV ended their season in Bandera after suffering an anemic fourth quarter losing, 51-39.

That 12 point difference was much closer as the game was still within reach as Bandera started the last quarter up by two points, 34-32.

“We were able to keep it close for three quarters,” Coach Brian Hooper stated. “The biggest reason why the game got out of hand in the fourth, was in giving up to many rebounds.”

“Three possessions in a row Bandera had multiple shots on offense that led to easy buckets, and we couldn’t respond,” Coach Hooper closed. “Bandera had a big physical line up that wore us down in the fourth.”

Garrett Winters led all Hawk scorers with 12 points and Sean Nolan missed double digits with nine.

Canyon Lake started off slow, but great defense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters along with a strategic well played 4th quarter of scoring helped the CLHS Freshmen have a come from behind victory last night in Bandera, 45-43.

Trailing the entire game and down by seven early in the 4th, the Hawks mounted their comeback.

Scoring a quick four points off of steals by Hayden Lee and Joe Arredondo who found Brandon Ward streaking down the court for two uncontested lay-ups and a crucial 3 pointer by Justin Ferris, his only points of the game, tied it at
41.

The lead never belonged to the Hawks until their was 5.2 seconds left and Hayden Lee drew the defense into him and made a great pass to a streaking Mason Montgomery for a lay-up and the game winner.

With a turn over on the inbounds play the Hawks were able to get the ball back into Hayden Lee who was fouled for a 1 and 1. Missing the freethrow and placing everyone back to play defense had the Bandera Bulldogs driving down to the opposite end of the court forcing a three point shot over the back board sealing the victory for the Hawks.

Nine of the 12 Hawks that were dressed scored points, but even those that did
not score made great passes down low to the posts who were able to put up
25 points in the paint.

Big rebounds by Dalton Head, Hayden Lee, and Robert Woods will be a stat that gets over looked, but they all played a crucial role in sealing a victory and getting chances for the Hawks to set up the offense.

Canyon Lake finished the season 9-14 and 2-8 in district play,”We
played in several close games this year that we were not able to come out on
top in, this victory was a great way to end the season, I am proud of our
team for all of the hard work they put in this season,” Coach John Batthels closed.

Canyon Lake could not even scare the basket in the first quarter as both teams combined for eight points, as the Hawks ended another season on a down note, losing 40-31 to Bandera.

Falling in love with the three point shot did not help matters as CL shot a dismal 12% from beyond the arc and those outside shots also resulted in only four free throws in this game.

Caleb Kreiger finished his season with 15 points and 9 rebounds on top of many records for his career played in just one season.
