It wasn’t a bounty week for Canyon Lake as Volleyball and Football could not shake that loss column.

Volleyball had that tough two game set with Wimberley & Davenport but a loss to Fredericksburg last Friday put a dent into grabbing momentum back.

This week will start with a road game to Long Creek tonight and then a homecoming night game at The Hawk Nest this Friday against Bandera. With a win over Long Creek tonight, The Lake, will clinch a post-season bid.

Volleyball will enter their last phase of their district season with four remaining battles that comes to an end on the 24th of October.

                          Let’s Go Lake!!

CLake’s Football suffered a set-back in their loss to Somerset and find themselves with the same situation as last season. Playoffs are certainly still in the mix but a second seed might be on the line based on upcoming results.

Homecoming this week against Uvalde, a team that played Somerset two weeks ago, and enjoyed a lead going into halftime. A winnable game but a consistent game is a must and not letting last week’s set-back beat the Hawk’s twice.

Cross Country had Tristan Schenk finish 4th and Gibson Cover had a 7th place finish, and the Ladies also will have two continue their season with Eva Zabarcencu and Sophie Eastland. So that makes 4 students going to Region meet this year.

Way to Go Long and Go Fast Lake!

Football will get interesting this week with the winner of Canyon Lake/Somerset game having an inside track for a playoff home game. Davenport are still without a blemish and ranked 5th in the State while CL’s win over Freddie gives us a tie-breaker if we tie them.

Cross Country will have their district meet in Bandera this Thursday.

Last week at The Lake was even-steven for volleyball with a win/loss and this week will have an important game at Fredericksburg on Friday. CL breezed through their first 3 opponents on that first district go-around and replicating that will boost Canyon Lake with their first 20 win season since 2019 and a playoff bid.

That Billie game will start the 2nd round of district battles and the loser of the Bandera/Long Creek game will eliminate that school. For the most part…those 4 schools look set with that Hawk/Billie contest either leading to a tie for 3rd/4th or a Lake win cementing a 3rd place finish.

Below are the Standings and those numbers beside each school indicates attendance size which will decide if The Lake would be placed with smaller or larger schools in the post-season bracket.

A much needed Hawk Volleyball Sweep last week that has one more beatable Bandera this Tuesday on the road. Sweeping the first 3 games would put this year’s Volleyball team on an inside track for a post-season bid. The first round of district opponents will conclude with the two powerhouse programs with Davenport being first on that list this Friday at the Hawk Nest.

Football goes into their 2nd district battle Friday when Those Battlin Billies come to the Hawk Nest. Last year Canyon Lake started their battle against Fredericksburg on fire but fizzled out from the 2nd quarter on…with only one score.

The Billies were more efficient and got a win which had your Hawks playing catch-up for the remainder of district play. Freddie would need to lose twice which happened the last game.

That allowed Canyon Lake to win a 3-way tie breaker sweepstakes which gave The Lake a first round home playoff against Austin Travis.

A primary goal for that same scenario this time around and you can go to The ReSporter’s Football Standings article to see what is happening with the Bi-District round district in Austin is faring.

Cross Country District will be next week in Bandera.

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Fall sports will now be entering the district part of their schedules. Tennis has been there for a while and Volleyball will begin at the Hawk Nest this Tuesday against Fredericksburg.

The Standings below give a good snap shot of how teams have formed their resume in preparing for this time of year.

The Lake’s Volleyball has the third best record but as previous years’s have taught this is not a time to hang your chances based on the past. It will be formed by the future knowing that two schools have impressive records against some good competition. (Davenport & Wimberley)

Canyon Lake will be in a battle for two spots knowing that those two schools above taking two post-season spots.

That’s what makes CL’s district schedule with their first three battles being against schools that share those same goals. A Hawk sweep these next 3 games is an essential, need to win, goals with two of those dates on home court.

                          GO HAWKS!

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal parted these words as Volleyball starts up, “We’ve been preparing hard for district, and I thought playing La Vernia right before was a great challenge for us. They’re a very well rounded team that runs a fast offense, and I felt like we battled well. For us, it’s about continuing to sharpen our execution and building momentum to pull out those wins against strong teams like La Vernia.

This group has been working extremely hard and is fully bought into the process of achieving success together. Compared to the past, when we sometimes lacked experience and confidence, this year’s team has both. They’ve competed against all kinds of opponents and know what it takes, so it really comes down to how well we execute together. We’ve also learned how to respond to challenges by running toward them instead of away. The girls have found the courage to be gritty and learned how to overcome obstacles together.

One of our biggest strengths this season is our depth and chemistry. Every player is ready to contribute, no matter their role that night. Each athlete brings value whether it’s on the court or from the bench, and that makes us stronger as a team. These girls care deeply about one another and are always finding ways to help, uplift, and encourage their teammates to succeed.

I’m excited to watch them compete and see their hard work pay off. The competition in our district is tough, but that makes it fun. Every team is playing high level volleyball, and we’ve been working hard to meet that standard and win the big battles. I truly believe in all of these girls as they’re a bright light in my life. They love to learn, they want to improve, and they have fun doing it together. I feel blessed to coach them every day, and I pray they’ll see all of their hard work come to fruition!”

Football finished their non-district schedule on a high note after flying away with an impressive win over Veterans Memorial.

Kudos to both Offensive & Defensive Lines with a strong showing in keeping the Hawk’s QB Jace Wheeler protected and defensively keeping a potent rushing attack by the Patriots and reducing those explosive plays.

                           GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake had a good week last week with Volleyball sweeping their two contests and now has one foe left against an always tough La Vernia (26-8) at the Hawk Nest. These Bears have some impressive wins on their resume and have played and beaten several 5A & 6A schools.

One 4A school Davenport succumbed to this squad twice in a tournament and regular season.

The Lake had a rare 5 set win at Blanco before taking care of Randolph last Friday.

The Hawks will start district play next week with Freddie (Tuesday) and Long Creek (Friday)….these are two winnable games much needed by the Good Gals to get a needed jump in this tough district.

Standings Below:
District 26-4A
Wimberley       29    5   .853
Davenport       24    6   .800
Canyon Lake     16   10   .615
Fredericksburg  12   13   .480
Bandera         13   18   .419
Long Creek       6   16   .273

                       Let’s Go Lake!!!

Looking at these records and who each school played will show the top two being favorites with The Lake and Fredericksburg next in line with Bandera and Long Creek checking out the caboose.

Canyon Lake’s is two wins shy of their total last season and their absence in the post season should not give these Hawks a, we can handle these schools, attitude by not taking all the schools serious on the hard wood. That goes double for Bandera as this school has had the upper hand these past few years.  These Bulldogs have a, 7-3 record this decade against your Hawks.

Top 3 Stats for The Lake’s Volleyball:

ACES                 KILLS                BLOCKS
Kylie Rodriguez  36  Preslie Owens   147  Kylee Goff        22

In Football, The Lake finally got their game in gear in a comeback win over Navarro and this week will go on the road for their first time.

Veterans Memorial team that has won their last two contests by over 31 points. These Patriots opened their season with a no doubt spanking, 51-13 against Davenport as both schools finish their non-district play.

District 13-4A
Davenport       3-0
CL Hawks        2-1
Somerset        2-1
Pleasanton      2-1
Uvalde          2-1
Kennedy         2-1
Fredericksburg  0-3

The Billies are in the same boat as last year when they entered into district play, 0-4 but ended up in playoffs with a win over Canyon Lake. Freddie has played the second toughest schedule behind Davenport going into district.

You notice that 5 schools sporting a, 2-1 slate that will have a wait and see eye-ball calculations before district gets going after this week.

Fall sports start getting interesting in a week when Hawk fans start going to their phones for district results.

Have a Great Week & Let’s Go Lake!

                    Let’s GO LAKE!

Another week another week of sports out the wazoo. There was several set-backs last week and The Lake will look to turn those losses to wins this week.

First off Hawk Volleyball has now finished their tournament season and will now concentrate on a Tuesday-Friday schedule for the next 3 weeks before opening up district play against Fredericksburg on September 23rd.

This week a home game with Akins and then on the road to San Antonio to battle Cole.

The Record below shows where district schools have performed. A quick look shows two schools with solid records and Fredericksburg started making their move last week and will certainly be in the mix as a team The Lake will be fighting for a chance to be seeded for a playoff spot.

District 26-4A
Davenport       22    2   .917
Wimberley       24    5   .828
Canyon Lake     12   10   .545
Fredericksburg   9   11   .450
Bandera         12   15   .444
Long Creek       6   14   .300

                          GO HAWKS! 

Cross Country will have a short drive to New Braunfels as this week will have some big school competition.

Hawks Tennis started district with a loss to Davenport and will concentrate on getting back on the winning side of things when they welcome Ingram to the Hawk Nest this Tuesday with first serve at 4pm.

Football was swept against Wimberley but the good news is that none of those losses were results that The Lake has seen in recent years.

This week the Hawk Junior Varsity will have an off week and Freshman will have a 6pm kick-off in Austin @ the Burger Annex and you can see the location above.
This contest will usually have Austin Crockett with a combination of Freshman and Sophomores as this school does not sport a Junior Varsity.

Varsity Hawks will be pitted against the Cougars on Senior Night at the Hawk Nest. A tough loss and a chance for a rebound game this week as the season continues to mature.

Come out and Support the Hawks & GO LAKE!

                         Let’s GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake finished off their Scrimmage Season last Thursday in San Antonio against a talented Central Catholic squad.

Now, The Lake, will go into preparation mode with a perennial power Wimberley Texas team comes to the Hawk Nest in the Battle of the Back Bone. Which has not been a game that has had much Hawk success during these past few seasons.

A second year with a new offense should prove to be fruitful along with a salty defense which returns most all of their starters from last year.

Kick-off will be at 7:00pm which will have both stands packed so be early to enjoy the pre-game festivities as CLHS starts their 18th year of football.

Volleyball continues to show improvement after another successful tourney at Pieper where The Lake finished with a 3-3 record against some tough teams.

                           Let’s Go Lake!

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal had this to say bout last week’s contests, “We finished the tournament 3-3, competing against tough opponents in every match. I was really proud of how the girls stepped up and competed at a high level. The caliber of play at this tournament was exactly what we needed to help prepare us for district.

One of the highlights was our match against Harlan, who went on to win the tournament. We lost 21-25 and 20-25, but the girls truly battled and made Harlan earn every point.

          Make a Deposit & Go Hawks!!

We also played Laredo United South twice, and the second matchup was one of our best games of the weekend. The game before that we played Glenn, and we struggled with our energy to translate to gaining momentum to score. After that lose, we discussed controlling the things we could control, and we came out focused, stronger, and played much better the next time against United South to beat them in 2 sets vs in 3 sets like the first time.

Individually, outside hitter Preslie Owens really stood out offensively, consistently putting balls away to end rallies quickly. Another positive was our depth on the bench. I can turn to the bench and count on subs who are ready to step in, make an impact, and provide a spark when we need it.

We’re looking forward to our match tomorrow against Somerset and then competing in the Seguin Tournament this weekend! It’s really fun to watch the girls compete at such a high level.”

Come see the another home game against Somerset this Tuesday with first serve at 500p for sub-varsity with the Varsity following that battle.

CL Tennis received their first loss last week against Devine and will back in action this Thursday at Davenport at they start their Fall District 26-4A schedule.

Hawk Sports are back in full swing after having CL’s Volleyball finish with a 4-2 record and winning the Bronze Bracket Crown at Corpus Christy Tournament.

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal surmised, “We are proud to share that Canyon Lake came away as Bronze Bracket Champions, and Chloe Gray was recognized with All-Tournament honors.

Chloe and Kylie Rodriguez did an outstanding job running the court for us. They are our steady presence, never leaving the floor and serving as strong leaders their teammates can always count on.

On Day 1, we had a tough pool draw against CC Veterans Memorial and LEE. Veterans Memorial went on to win the entire tournament, and LEE finished third in the Silver Bracket. We battled with both teams, but higher errors on our side prevented us from finishing out those matches.

                      Let’s GO LAKE!

Day 2 was a much better day as the team came out strong and controlled most of the matches. Our offense clicked more consistently, and we served aggressively to keep opponents from running their systems effectively. It was a long day with three matches, capped off with a best-of-five final, but the girl’s showed resilience and toughness to finish as Bronze Bracket champions.

I’m especially proud of how they bounced back after a challenging first day. We talk often about how struggles, setbacks, and tough moments make us stronger. This weekend was a great example of learning, growing, and becoming better together!”

Volleyball will welcome Gonzales to The Lake this Tuesday before debarking on their 2nd Tourney at Pieper High School starting on Thursday.

                   Let’s Go Lake!

The Hawk Cross Country also debuted at the Hill Country Rust Buster (don’t ask The ReSporter what that means).

Cross Country will in San Antonio this Thursday in a Friday Night Lights (on Thursday) and it is also starts at 7am….Looking at those titles you will have for these first two meets could strike a smile white these Hawk Athletes grimace in their open terrain jaunts.

Lake Tennis has started this season with two wins and will be in action this Wednesday when Devine will come to town with the first serve at 4pm. Bring some shade and water for this event and way to GO Lake!

Football finished their first scrimmage against Burnet last Friday and will continue their pre-season battles on the road in San Antonio when the Hawks battle the Buttons. The Central Catholic scrimmage will begin at 530pm for the sub-varsity teams and then Varsity will have a 700pm final round before starting their season against Wimberley at the Hawk Nest on the 29th of this month.

Good Start Lake and Let’s Make More WAVES!!

RECAP FROM LAST WEEK

                    Go Hawks!

Football and Water Polo held serve last week while Volleyball broke even and Tennis continues their tough district bouts.

The Boys Water Polo (District 2-0) won their first outing (ever) against Canyon High School scoring a one goal win, 13-12. On Tuesday CL Polo will do battle against Smithson Valley (Start 5:15 Girls/6:15 Boys)  and will have Davenport to finish the pool play round later this month.

In Water Polo the schools play each team once and then will be go into pool (pardon the pun) play….1st seed playing 4th and 2nd seed playing 3rd seed.

With a win against Smithson Valley the Hawks will be guaranteed being placed 1st or 2nd. This district has all the schools in Comal County.

The Lake is the smallest school in the State of Texas which can pose a larger hurdle to clear just based on number of students to recruit for a decent roster. (hint-hint…this sport is up there with Golf for a sport to play in high school)

                         Go Hawks!

The Lady Hawk’s Water Polo team has improved by leaps and bounds this season but still might be a year away.

Volleyball had a tough loss to Blanco last Tuesday but rebounded on Friday when they beat Randolph (22-6) to get back on track. Randolph will be playing Navarro this week and that should give CL a good indication on how well they stack up to a district opponent.

“Our win vs Randolph felt good as we played a lot better than we did vs Blanco,” Head Coach Daniella Villarreal said. “Randolph is a solid team and I thought the girls did a great job executing the game plan against them.”

On how the turnaround from the Blanco happened, “After the Blanco game we talked about the importance of consistent energy, momentum, and teamwork to make the magic happen, as we felt we had lacked that on Tuesday. On Friday we did a much better job bringing the energy and teamwork that we were able to get int a rhythm and the points ending in our favor. That 3rd set (a 10-25 set back) nothing was going our way as Randolph got on a roll offensively and we struggled to put the ball away. Although the 3rd set was not even close, I was proud of the way the girls were pulling together trying to slow the game down in the huddles between points to communicate and come together.”

On who Coach Villarreal thought had their ‘A’ Game, “Super proud of Gabby Fory and Mackenzie Dorn for stepping up as they both had 13 kills. Gabby being our middle, had 33 hitting attempts with a .303 hitting percentage. So that tells me that our passing and defense did an excellent job controlling that first contact to keep our offense in system to run a quick offense in the middle.”

There will be two more non-district (La Vernia away this Friday & Luling home that next Tuesday) contests before The Lake meets Fredericksburg on Friday 27th of this month.

Cross Country did not have an official meet last week but will be back in action this Friday and Saturday in Round Rock with the Friday runs having the Hawks qualifying for being able to compete on Saturday.

Canyon Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!!

The Lake Football team had an impressive night in Navarro after finishing with more rushing yardage than a slot-t offense.

A home game this Friday against a 5A Veterans Memorial (1-2) team as CLHS will be working on staging another win for an early 3 game winning steak.

Way to GO HAWKS Athletics!
