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

The Hawks will make or break this week for both the Girls and Boys roundball as this Friday the Yoakum game will give a good indication on chances for this year having extra games for both clubs.

For the Lady Hawks, their game with Yoakum already has one game in the win column. This second game has to be even more convincing.

That would instill confidence for a team in need of that ingredient as CL engages their last round of district games.

For the Boys, Canyon Lake will have a chance of evening their district contests at 3-3 and with those three wins the Hawks can match their most wins for district conquests.

The ’09-’10 and last years club both reached the 3 win plateau leaving this set of games in reach for higher goals.

Canyon Lake has shown they can reach higher in the realm of games won and that might also help this year’s team to an actual playoff contest.

Finishing would be the operative word for the Hawks going into the next round of district games.

Start to finish, not only in a game but also in their quest of realizing a goal that has yet been reached.

More sports will start to get active as January comes into the latter stages.

For Soccer, the Hawks, have both boys and girls relishing with chances of making marks as district comes calling in February.

Right now CL has the Boys with a 2-4 record and girls wading the waters with a 2-3 stint so far.

Last week Boy’s Soccer had a 1-1 record with a win over Burnet and loss to Liberty Hill.

This week Canyon Lake will host Giddings on Tuesday for their first home game and then take the road once again to Pleasanton for another chance of beating the Eagles.

For the Girl’s Soccer Team, the Hawks scored 6 goals in their game with SA Cole.

Those scores came from 3 Sophomores as Alexa Ramos had a hat trick.

Canyon Lake finished their tournament in Pleasanton 2-1 giving the Hawks a 3-1 record for their week of play.

The Hawk Girl’s Soccer team will be on the road this Tuesday against La Vernia and then welcome their first home game on Friday when Pleasanton comes to town.

Softball will start their practice this week and will be preparing for their first scrimmages on February 4th.

Baseball and Track is also right around the corner with several Hawk teams ready for action.

Go Hawks!!

                      Hawk’s Soccer wins game against Burnet 3-1

Canyon Lake Soccer team evened their record last Tuesday when they went on the road and beat Burnet, 3-1.

The Hawks are young this year but the 2-2 record indicates just how much potential this team might have as both losses were lost in the final minutes.

“A win at this point of the year helps build confidence,” Head Soccer Coach Warren Graham stated. “It’s especially important when the game is a close game because it allows the boys to see what they need to do to be able to close out games.”

Coach has zeroed in those losses during this campaign as both of those contests were lost at the finish.

Julian De La Paz and Mike Thorpe scored a goal a piece in the win while Luke Justis and Thorpe each chipped in with an assist.

Goalie Brayden Damico had three saves on shots from goal in this first shut-out win.

Canyon Lake lost the first two games in the last seconds as they were in position for wins.

The Fall Season of 2015 had an historic moment as the CL Volleyball team pulled off a District Championship which was the first for the Hawk Nation.

If you were looking at teams for Canyon Lake and projecting the first team to get to that feat, then Volleyball would have been near the bottom as the Hawk District has been controlled by Wimberley and seeing a team upend their streak of District Championships would have been a hard sell.

Yes, Wimberley did not have a vintage year but CL’s Volleyball team would also reach the highest State Ranking for any sport when they topped out at No. 7 during this season.

Hawks lose to Wimberley for another close loss in last year’s season.

 
 Game 5: Canyon Lake   70   Yoakum          52              Basketball
 Game 4: Canyon Lake   vs.  Wimberley 25-21, 21-25, 25-23   Volleyball
 Game 3: Canyon Lake   49   Fredericksburg  31              Football

Canyon Lake had an up and down season so far up to this game with Fredericksburg and beating the Billies would go a long way in giving this team their confidence back with a total win via, offense, special teams, and defense (when they needed The stop).

Two years ago Fredericksburg beat CL at home and did not take any prisoners in this game, winning, 38-14.

This time, Canyon Lake returned the favor as the Hawks not only controlled the clock with their running game, but also had quick answer touchdowns via kick-off returns.

The Billies could not muster any momentum giving up those two special team scores and then add two costly fumbles and Canyon Lake would not look back.

One of those fumbles happened on the one inch line as a Billie lost the ball jumping over the goal line after a jarring hit.

Josh DeVries only had one carry at home in the loss, but on this night, DeVries ran for 120 yards and had Robert Woods join him when he broke the 100 yard barrier too.

Canyon Lake has now rushed for 661 yards the last two years as the Hawks have had success with Fredericksburg these past few years.

The number, 165 is what helped win this game as that number was the total yardage for the two kick-off returns by DeVries and Matt Adams.

Both returns were in the first half and both happened right when the Billies had taken a lead. The first was after a Billies field goal and then Adams return nullified a 17-14 Fredericksburg lead.

Canyon Lake would hold Fredericksburg after that second return and then score with just 1 second on the clock before halftime.

The Hawks would have the ball first to start the second stanza and after taking 7 minutes off the clock ran the score to, 35-17.

Defense would stop Freddie again and Canyon Lake would score again with a little over 3 minutes left in the third quarter, 42-17, giving your Hawks their 28 unanswered points.

Hayden Dubois would score again to finish the game, his fourth touchdown run for this game.

Special Teams:  No Punts and 2 kickoff returns.                     √
Offense: Controlled the clock 33:10 and Fredericksburg 14:50.       √
Defense: 2 stops saving a td and drive giving the CL a quick score. √

The win would turn out to be a game to get Canyon Lake in the Playoff door for the second year in a row.

CL had 7 losses and of those games the Hawks would lose by a touchdown or less in 6 of those evenings.

 Losses              Score               Difference
 Blanco              07-35                  -28
 Wimberley           27-28                  -01
 Lampasas            14-21                  -07
 Liberty Hill        14-19                  -05
 Taylor              31-33                  -02
 Boerne              35-42                  -07
 Rockport-Fulton     21-27                  -06 overtime

That first game with Blanco would be the only contest that Canyon Lake was a no-show and a play here and there could have had a team with a much better season record.

That would explain how Canyon Lake would score more points than they gave up with 2 more losses on their ledger. (365 offense– 310 defense)

This win was big and would set up another run in those playoffs!!

Go Hawks!!

Game 5: Canyon Lake 70 Yoakum 52    Basketball

Game 4 in the count down of the Top 5 games played this past season will certainly be a surprise to some of you since this game did not involve a Varsity team.

This year, Canyon Lake had many sub-varsity teams that finished at the top district races as Mountain Valley keeps feeding some salty classes to the halls in CL that are transferring to a sporting event.

The Hawks had a break out year in Volleyball this season, but many times when a Varsity team comes through with a good season, the Freshman and Junior Varsity might not be as talented.

You might say that those Varsity teams were successful because they needed those younger players to help get them in a better position to compete in those all important district games.

Wimberley has been a thorn in the side of Hawk fans ever since the first year of competition and this past season, the Junior Varsity made great strides as they too were a much improved group of ladies that will be ready to take the baton from those Senior Volleyball players.

Canyon Lake’s Varsity finished by hitting the 30 win plateau, but one of the better games played came during a home game against Wimberley.

The Varsity had an undefeated district record as did Wimberley in the first half of the round robin of district games and the stands would fill up with more people to ever witness a home game.

Canyon Lake Boys Soccer got what was needed with their win over Bandera Bulldogs, 1-0 on Friday night.

Senior Goalie Buddy Glass and the CL Hawks shut-out Bandera, 1-0

“It was a total team effort last night,” Head Soccer Coach Warren Graham said. “I’m proud of the effort put forth by every boy.”

Soccer 1-0 games takes extra effort since the game hinges on both sides of the ball equally in order to keep that precious one goal lead.

“They fought hard the entire 80 minutes, knowing we had to win to keep our playoff hopes alive,” Coach Graham continued. “Buddy Glass and the defense worked hard, especially in the last five minutes, to preserve the shutout.”

The Hawks backs were up against the wall as a loss would put CL with no chance for a playoff spot this year.

Canyon Lake completed their fourth shut-out for this year and first in district play.
