Jordan Sczech makes his move against Fredericksburg           (pictures by Carpenter)

The ReSporter caught up with Boy’s Soccer Coach Warren Graham as the first round of district games are coming to a close after tonights game with Wimberley.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, give us an idea of how you assess the team and prepare them for the round of district games.

Coach Graham: “We record all of our games, so reviewing film is a big part of preparation as you enter the second round.  The boys try to learn tendencies of the other team, see what we did that worked well against them, and learn from the mistakes we made in the first round.  We then take what worked well and develop drills in practice to reinforce that so they feel comfortable going into the next game.”

The ReSporter: This district is not an easy group of games for the Hawks, tell us about the competition. (more…)

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

Canyon Lake Lady’s Basketball lost their Friday game with Wimberley but with Gonzales taking some lumps from Navarro guaranteed CL to qualify after this Tuesday’s game.

Stay tuned to Hilltop and we will get you info on where and who the Hawks will be playing.

Congratulations!!

Likewise, the Boy’s Basketball squad finished the week 1-1 and will take on La Vernia this Tuesday.

The Hawks would settle things with an upset over the Bears this Tuesday.

Canyon Lake will have one other game a week later against Yoakum and the Bulldogs helped the Hawks cause immensely when they lost their game to Cuero last Friday.

The Boys team is coupled with CL’s Boys Soccer as the only team sport to yet make it out of district play by qualifying for playoffs.

Hawk Soccer has started to make some noise this season as they sport a 7-4 record and presently on a 5 game winning streak.

That will be the same until district starts up in two weeks and finding a way to also qualify for the playoffs would make this season one of the best in Hawk Sport’s history.

This week CL beat a high caliber team in San Marcos Academy on Tuesday and then followed that win with their first home win on Friday over Burnet.

CL’s Girls Soccer finished this past week with 2 ties with one of those games having the Hawks coming back from a 3 goal deficit.

Softball is still in exhibition stage with Harper’s game this Tuesday being the last game before contests start counting.

Baseball will also be starting this week as the Spring Schedule starts to get interesting.

The Varsity Tennis will have their first competition this Friday as they will travel to Georgetown’s Kerry Minzenmayer Classic.

There has to be a sport you can come and support this year’s Spring edition for Hawk sports.

Go Hawks!!

Julian De La Paz is figuring out a new dance move in Canyon Lake’s win over Burnet
Lynne Carpenter photos

Canyon Lake Boy’s Soccer is on a Roll after their win over Burnet on Friday night, 4-2.

This is now a 5 game winning streak which matches the most wins in a season except for the present campaign as CL now resides with a 7-4 record.

Mike Thorpe had a hat trick with 3 goals on the night which gave him 13 goals for this year and has more points for this year than his previous two campaigns.

“He’s (Thorpe) been our captain for 3 years now and he is our team leader,” Head Coach Warren Graham admonished. “Obviously he is very important for us offensively and players will try to key on him…but the key for us will be feed and dish.”

Senior Matt Adams is all smiles after comeback win over SM Academy

Canyon Lake’s Soccer program has now stepped out into an area never before seen in any past season, SIX WINS!!

The Hawks traveled to San Marcos Academy and beat a 10-3 team with a goal by Mike Thorpe in the second half.

San Marcos took the early lead but Canyon Lake fought back and never allowed another goal for the win.

CL is presently on a 4 game winning streak which is more games than the team won in 3 of their season and has tied two years of playing soccer.

“This was a really good win against a real good team,” Head Coach Warren Graham admonished. “I was a little nervous before the game and I am proud of our effort especially when we went down, 1-0 and then seeing the team locking it on defense.”
