Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks

The busy season begins this first week of the new year as Canyon Lake Basketball readies for District 28-4A starting soon and Soccer’s scrimmage season was off and running last Friday. Add some water for Swimming and you have the start of more action as each week continues to spring up.

With the Girl’s Basketball games last week, the Hawks had the same result as the Boy’s team with an 0-fer during their first tournament after the Christmas Break, in Burnet.

There were some heavyweights in attendance with Fredericksburg giving CL a heavy dose of what they can expect when district games start. The 12th Ranked, Billies won their game convincingly over the Hawks and now a game with Lampasas on Monday will be the final tune-up game before the real contests start on January 10th.

The Lady Hawks will have Friday off and wait for another Top 25 State opponent in Boerne starts off district play.

One morsel of hope you can conclude from those tournament games last week was having 4 games with 4 or 5 freshman playing in those battles. The Holiday season had many players missing in action and those returning players can only help.

   Happy New Year & Go Hawks

CL’s Boys got back on track with a good game in beating Karnes City for the Badgers first loss of the season.

This game had some good signs, as the Hawks battled back throughout the contest in winning by 7 points as things fell into place in the 4th quarter. After suffering a bad 4 games in Fredericksburg’s Tournament, this win was needed.

Canyon Lake will face Poteet and Navarro this week with a home game this Tuesday and a short drive to Navarro for the Friday tilt. The Poteet squad has a loss to Hondo and Navarro before the Christmas Break which will help give the Hawks an idea of how they might rank with future games after facing the Poteet Aggies.

Swimming will have their one scheduled meet this month in Burnet as the Hawks will look to improve on their win in that same water last December during the 4A & Under State Championship.

Other Sports are coming with Softball as the next sport coming out of their egg shell as this time of year there is no rest for the weary.

Look for those Basketball home games to be, ‘On the Air’, when Canyon Lake’s Broadcasting will bring those games to you by Live Stream.

If you do not have the link, then The ReSporter will post that information before each contest. You can come to this weekly article to check out when those games will be ready to tip-off.

Happy New Year and Go Hawks!!

The ReSporter: These last couple of years the Soccer team has been improving, how do you feel as this season approaches?

Coach Graham: “I feel like we should be able to keep up the pattern of improving on the previous year. We only lost 2 seniors last year and we had another boy move. One of those spots will be filled by Jordan Sczech, who we lost to an ACL tear early last year, so we really only have 2 spots in the starting lineup that we have to replace.”

The ReSporter: How do you feel your pre-district schedule will prepare the team for the district games?

Coach Graham: “I tried again to schedule as many possible playoff opponents as I could in our non-district schedule. Like last year, we will be traveling a bit but I think that will be good for us. We have a scrimmage against Seguin at home and our first game will be against McAllum High School at House Field in Austin. We also have a tournament game and an away game against Floresville. All 3 schools are 5A schools and I’m hoping we will gain good experience from playing them.” (more…)

Recent Grad Haden Lee

Canyon Lake was blessed with many students that excelled with their sport from the football field to soccer field and diamond to hard wood.

Two athletes were voted as the MVP of their sport which was a record for the Hawks and the list below has all the athletes The ReSporter was told of accomplishments.

Bailey Drum in Volleyball and Haden Lee for Football topped the list for this past season and as Seniors will look forward to seeing how these two will adjust to College as Drum will be off to Angelo State University and Lee as aspirations of walking on and compete for an opening at Texas State.

Congratulations for an entertaining year as the Hawk Nation will now look forward to seeing more CL students this coming school year.

                            Soccer is Playoff Bound after 2-1 Win over Wimberley

Canyon Lake can now claim that every team sport has made the playoffs as Boy’s Soccer knocked off Wimberley, 2-1.

“Speechless and extremely proud,” Head Coach Warren Graham sighed. “We have had a progression as last year we got our first district win and this year we got to 8 wins and that shows you how hard they have worked.”

This game did have several chances for Wimberley to score a late goal and end the Hawk’s season but good defense kept that proverbial ball from crossing the line.

“We just had to keep fighting and I knew they would do their job,” Coach Graham commented remembering those last few minutes of this historic game.

This contest was a win or go home for the Hawks and an early goal in the first half from Matthew Bell gave CL an early lead that they would enjoy throughout this contest.

 =======================================

This week the big game will be Boys Soccer taking place in Wimberley on Monday.

If the Hawks can win then they will clinch their first playoff as they will have the tie breaker over the Texans after a 2-2 game in the first round.

CL came within one goal in their last week’s game with District 28-4A Champion Fredericksburg and will now have their eyes set on this game with our neighbors to the North.

The Hawk ladies clinched 4th place last week and will now be getting ready for another year of playoffs. Congrats Lady Hawks!!

Baseball and Softball have fallen on hard times as both of these sports lost district games.

The Baseball team was in their first week of district contests while the Softball team have now gone two weeks of district competition without a win.

It is still early for both teams as this will be an important week for Softball as they will end their first round of games and will need to switch the on button on to start climbing to get into playoff contention.

All of those losses for the girls have had 3 games coming up just 1 run short while the other game against Cuero was decided by 2 runs.

Close but no cigar. (That statement is for President Obama’s Cuba trip this week.)

Track and Field, Golf, and Tennis will get back into action after enjoying their spring break.

A lot of games are on the road this week but a short drive to Wimberley would get you back to speed with your favorite Hawk team.

Go Hawks!!
