Richard Rosas pictured with Matthew Adams, and Mike Thorpe after win over Texans in Soccer

                                                        90 Days Countdown

The #90 jersey was worn by Richard Rosas last season as a Sophomore and will be counted on by Canyon Lake as this defensive end will have a year under his belt.

Rosas was one of several underclassmen on last year’s roster as Canyon Lake continues to load up on a younger group of players as the first wave of Mountain Valley wealth of teams will suit this season as Juniors.

CL will have Freshman players that won district last year with both A and B squads. That B Squad was ineffective as 7th graders but turned it on last year and improved across the board.

That will give Hawk Coaches more competition again this year with a loaded Freshman class that might need another team like what happened last season with the ‘Gold’ Team.

The ReSporter: Coach Drum, give us an idea on how your off season has progressed.

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

Coach Drum: “It has gone real good…we have more than ever involved as we have 4 teams and we are excited about the numbers in hopefully getting some depth for next year.”

The ReSporter: Does this might mean having enough players to specify either on offense or defense?

Coach Drum: “Luckily that will be the case, we have the numbers with the lower grades but you might have enough for the lineman but not the skill positions, so it is still a wait and see game.”

The ReSporter: I know in the past, Mountain Valley would send students over to Canyon Lake this time of year and have an opportunity to show them the ropes, is that still something that is done?

Coach Drum: “We go over there during their athletic period and we will have several of our coaches with those students.” (more…)

                         Robert Woods with an army of Coaches having his back

This time of year will always have some touching moments as many 18 year old students embark on making their mark in life and say good-bye their high school days.

On Thursday of this past week, Robert Woods, was using his time wisely as he chose a College he could get a higher degree while playing a sport he had grown to love, football.

Mary Hardin Baylor will be the recipient school to enjoy an athlete that will give them his all.

Woods was part of a small Senior class, but these students made up for it as each player had a significant skill set that they translated into making their team get all they could out of the leadership shown by example.

Whether Woods was playing football, basketball, or scoring points in Track & Field, this young man did not leave school thinking he could have done more.

Hawks with Devil’s Back Bone Trophy from last year’s  Wimberley Win

Canyon Lake’s schedule was released and the Hawks will be adding an Austin flavor this year as there will be 3 teams from the Capitol City.

Adding up last year’s records of the 10 teams playing the Hawks has those schools with a 57-44 record.

Two of those opponents had just one loss coming the 3rd week of playoff action. Blanco and Giddings finished with, 12-1 slates.

Austin Reagan, Giddings, Austin Akins, and Eastside Memorial will be the new schools coming this Fall.

Canyon Lake has finished their Football schedule for the next year and their will be a taste of Austin with those games.

The Hawks have been middling along in that 4th place spot in district for many of their playoff gigs and will be hoping for moving up that ladder this time around.

                             Hawks Celebrate in one of their 33 Victories this season.

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.

Hawk Defense readies for a Big Play

Canyon Lake’s defensive side of the ball will be highlighted here as the Hawks will be losing some key elements from this past season.

This year’s Senior Class was not a large group of players but the ones that played were on top of their game as the stats below will bellow.

Haden Lee will go down as one of the best all around defensive players Canyon Lake has ever had. If you wanted anything from a tackle to a pass break-up, then Lee would be the guy in the mix.

Robert Woods and Matt Adams would also be on that short list as both of these players might have even better numbers if they were not being borrowed for the offensive side of the ball.

These and the other Seniors will certainly be missed this next season as we will be ready to receive this next group of players that will make their mark as a Hawk.
