Hawk’s Baseball Get Must Game Win Over Billies, 6-2

Wednesday, April 15th, 2026

Pitcher Hayes Holladay got his 4th win this season in a needed victory over Billies.

The Lake got a win on a, must win week, over Fredericksburg, 6-2 as Canyon Lake scored all the runs needed during their opening inning.

That first frame was the CL’s first run scored in district play that had a double off Ryan Rena’s bat helping cap those tallies. Rena had his 15th double that moved him up to 10th place on the Top-Ten Career list.

Some more power was next with two solo shots of the bat of Lucas Schexnayder and Wayen Slania-Wetz who yard over the left field fence. Slania-Wetz (4) now stands at 5th place on CL’s all-time homer standings.

Pitcher Hayes Holladay was money on the mound striking out 7 Billies while giving up two walks….and a little let down with three hit batters. This win has Holladay at 10th place with 6 career wins.

A solid defense helped calm down the base paths that was present… which had this Hawk version needed for the rest of this campaign that has 3 contests remaining with a return date to Billie land this Friday.

                         GO LAKE!

The Lake will conclude district play against Bandera which lately has not been a show-up and win contest.

Gram Simpson continues his strong showing at lead-off working two walks which has tied for the most in a career 63 joined bt Tyler Pauly and Carter Williams.

Simpson’s first at bat set the stage when the Billie’s pitcher had  two called strikes before working the pitch count to 8 and a walk and eventual score.

Now the stage is set for another showdown this Friday in Freddie for a hopeful sweep.

Go Lake!

Hawk Boy’s Track & Field Upgrading Transportation For Area Meet

Monday, April 13th, 2026

 

4×100 Relay Team beat a 14 year record on CL All-Time List,  43.05.

Way to be Handy Hawk Track & Field. Good Luck in Area Meet!

The Lake Boy’s Track & Field qualified 11 for their Area Meet and matched that with 11 different events for a sport that had not been scoring much in previous years.

“I’m really proud of what our kids did at the District meet,” Head Track Coach Brad Manning said. “We were able to check off several goals we set even before the start of the season, and they earned it.”

This season showed a team that continued to make a mark while also competing at a much higher level as this year matured.

Coach Manning continued with his assessment, “When I got here about 20 months ago, we knew exactly where the boys program stood and the kind of work it was going to take to build it into something competitive.”

                  Let’s GO Fast LAKE!

“By this time last year, we felt like we were about a year away from being able to walk into a District meet and truly contend especially in a 4A district as deep as ours,” Manning maned up.
“The question the whole time was “if.” If our kids would buy in. If they would commit to the work it was going to ultimately take. If they would trust what we are trying to build. This past week, they answered that.”

Track can have coaches, that many times, need a PHD in Rocket s
Science when trying to maximize points while moving athletes around for 17 different events for getting results for their team.

“Our staff made some key decisions with events, we tapered the right way, and the kids showed up and competed,” Coach Manning remembered. “Across the board— Lake Boy’s Track and Field—we now have several athletes moving on to the Area meet, and that says a lot about the direction of the program. It’s been a while since that’s been the case, and our kids have taken a lot of pride in changing that.”

                   Go Hawks!

Coach Manning finished, “Now the focus shifts. We’re not trying to do more—we’re trying to stay sharp and continue to peak at the right time. District 25-4A is going to bring a high level of competition, and you have to reallly want to run well this time of year. Our kids are excited, and they’re preparing to go out there and compete at an even higher level.”

Canyon Lake’s 4×100 meter relay exemplifies what is possible as they went to the top of that All-Time Lake list with a time that had not been bested since 2012 when Zach Henshaw, Doug Hubnik, Eduardo Covarrubias and Daniel Camarillo was perched at the top with a 43.73 mark.

Joseph Matos, Peyton King, Kobe Halverson and Tristan Alexander lowered that time with a 43.05 result.

The ReSporter will release another article before Wednesday with a synopsis of times of District 25-4A Athletes who will be the competition for Area Meet at Lago Vista.

Coach Manning wasn’t finished, “We’re looking forward to Wednesday.”

Sunday, April 12th, 2026

Shana Cutrer, Savanna Oberholtzer, Te’a Gonzales & Aubrey Avey had a record setting 4×200 relay. Way to GO Fast Lake!

 

                                Break the Dam~ Lake!

Canyon Lake finished 2nd in District 26-4A Meet last Wednesday missing their second District Title by less than 10 points. If the Hawks would have been able to pull off another District Title then that would have 2 consecutive titles a first for a sport at The Lake.

CLake was short a few players but now the future will dominate the Ladies as they prepare for Area Meet this Wednesday at Lago Vista with Field Events at 10:00am and running events with a 4:30 start.

The Lake did finish first place in seven events which helped propel this group into that chance to win this meet.

“‘I’m so proud of all of their hard work this season,’” Head Coach Sami Theurer said to the team. “’In this meet these ladies left everything on the track and ran for each other.’”

The Hawks will have several in attendance at the Area Meet who qualified in these following events:

Holladay Forgoes Holladay Striking Out 13 in Win Over Dragons.

Friday, April 3rd, 2026

               Go Lake Beat Everyone!

Canyon Lake has had 3 shut-outs this season and the third pitched game by Hayes Holladay was certainly a charm.

The Lake needed this win after starting their District 26-4A campaign on the short end looking at an, 0-4 start if Hayes would not have canceled his Holladay.

“LC (Long Creek) could not handle his fast pace,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla exclaimed. “He threw 70% strikes. We needed a big game from him and he delivered.”

This gem started in that first inning as the Lake had allowed 11 total runs at start of each district contest which had CLake starting in a hole to climb out of in those first 3 losses.

               Congrats Lake Baseball.

Holladay threw 8 pitches to get those first three outs which would be the precursor
For the rest of this outing.

Catcher Arthur Miller barely had time to set up before catching a pitch as this fast pace left the Dragons without any ‘Fire’ power accumulating two singles and two free passes for the evening.

Add 13 strikeouts to this affair which also helped in keeping The Lake with only one error. You would have to go back 6 games since Canyon Lake had that type of defensive game.

               Way to Go Lake Baseball.

All of Long Creeks hits happened in the 2nd frame…but Holladay would strike out the the side taking any hope of advancing past second base in this white-wash.

Those two base-on-balls were stranded on first base in those two innings….one with a double play and striking out the last two batters in the bottom of the 5th inning.

In the 6th Inning a first batter two bag error was stranded after Holladay’s needing 15 pitches in striking out the side. That baserunner did advance to 3rd on a wild pitch which would be the low point for Holladay’s Holladay pitching performance.

Lucas Schexnayder and Bryce May would each score two runs with two of the Hawks 4 hits. It was the bottom of the line-up coming through as Ryan Rena also had a hit and rbi as all three players stole a base and it would be May scoring CL’s final run stealing home in the top of the 3rd inning.

The Lake had 5 steals and with two hit batters producing 11 base runners in this battle.

Gram Simpson tied Tanner Schultz with 21 hit-by-pitches and will look to be black & blue with his record breaking 22nd sometime later this season.

This win goes a long way in turning the tide as being swept twice off the bat (pardon the pun) could have had The Lake on the outside looking in.

Canyon Lake will welcome Davenport next Tuesday for their next two-game series with some needed momentum.

Way to GO LAKE!

Hawk’s Softball Get Great Manos Outing in , 13-3 Win

Friday, April 3rd, 2026

                              Hawk’s Softball With a Recap from Coaches after 1st District Win. Go Lake!

 

 

             Way to GET HITS HAWKS!

The Lake Softball got their first win in district play in a run ruled contest with Bandera, 13-3.

Canyon Lake scored 5 runs in the bottom of the opening frame after these Bulldogs sent 8 players to the plate in scoring to take an early 2 run lead.

BHS scratch one hit in that first inning but the damage was light when Melody Manos had a strike-out with the bases loaded ending Bandera’s threat.

Manos found her groove the rest of the way in this white-wash not issuing any more base-on-balls and surrendering just two more hits in that final inning allowing just one more run for these Visitors.

It was Manos that stood tall in the circle working the next three frames of 3 Up and 3 Down sequences using 5 of her 7 total strikeouts during those innings.

                  Way to GO LAKE!

Alleigh Jones reached base on all 4 of her plate appearances scoring 3 runs and producing 2 rbi’s on her hard hit double on her second at bat.

Kelsey Unrue also doubled up two singles scoring two runs and also reaching base 3 times as the Hawks scored 6 runs in their 3rd inning leading to this run ruled outing.

Bandera coaxed another run in the top of the 5th inning that continued this contest but it would be Alleigh Jones working a one out walk in her next appearance then using a wild-pitch, error, and then raced home on a passed ball for the run ruled win, 13-3.

The Lake is a very young squad but a lot of good happenings in this battle shows what will be coming with each game of experience that will continues to add up.

Way to Go Lake!

Lake’s Lady Soccer Beat Legacy Ranch, 5-3 in Extra Time.

Saturday, March 21st, 2026

      The Lake’s Soccer Team with another Bi-District Trophy & Looking for an Area Trophy next.

 

          Way to Go Lake Soccer!

Canyon Lake’s (20-2) Soccer team won Bi-District in overtime over Legacy Ranch (17-5-1), 5-3 in what turned out to be a good test run for this time of the year in a, win or go home’, time of the season.

Head Coach Kara Stracener commented on this win and the differences in LR’s offense,
“We haven’t played a team that played with that formation where they had two wide players and a center…they had 3 across the top….so we knew about it going into the game but then when you see it you just have to re-adjust and at halftime we certainly talked about that and we changed some of our formations and put some girls where we needed to and they adjusted great but more importantly they battled and played with their heart in this kind of game you have to do that.”

Coach Stracener continued on how important Liza Schexnayder goal-tended, “She was unbelievable….she is brand new to soccer and she’s learning throughout the whole season and against Bandera our second time she came out and made a very physical save and had to take a player as she was taking the ball and I think that type of moment from her was huge and she felt what is was like so she could do it in this game….and she did that four or maybe five times and she was a hero tonight for sure.”

             Go Lake Beat Everyone!

The Lake had never scored more than 100 goals in a season since the school began in soccer in 2008-09 year.

Two years ago CL was able to reach 93 goals…but now Savanna Oberholtzer with her 61 makes has scored 59% of this offense.

All those numbers are mind blowing but in the grand scheme of things that first goal in this battle had Abigail Lowth with a goal which was a head(er) and should(ers) as great, at the 36 minute mark, during that first half.

Then, that first goal in overtime, it was Kylee Morrow who had a 27 yard pk that just went over the Legacy Ranch goalie hands on the left corner of the upper shelf of the net.

                              Go Lake!

The Hawks never trailed in this contest and the score was a narrow, 3-2 at halftime lead.

In that 2nd Half both teams were more defensive minded but it was Ranch with a tying goal right under 10 minutes remaining, 3-3.

It was Goalie Liza Schexnayder who battened down the Hawk goal as she won several one on one shots on goal from the 15 yard line on down.

The Lake would not have been in a position to pull this game off without her unwavering defensive skills and her bumps and bruises in the days to come will prove her worth in this battle.

District 26-4A has been a formidable group of teams these past few years in looking back to last year when both Wimberley & Davenport being present in the Final Four in Division I and II.

            Go Hawks & Beat SA Cole!

The Lake’s, 2-1 loss last season to London just kept Canyon Lake from meeting Wimberley for that berth into the Final Four.

All of these district qualifying teams won their Bi-District round of games and once again stand a good chance of getting two more schools in for a chance to win state.

Canyon Lake’s Area contest will be at Smithson Valley High School this coming Tuesday against San Antonio Cole (20-4-4) at 7:00pm.

The Hawks have reached 20 wins for the first time to go along with breaking that 100 goals scored mark. Now keeping this Post-Season focused will be next on the docket as Wimberley could be that final hurdle in getting to Austin.

Hawk’s Baseball Win Final Game Before District, 8-6 Over Taft Raiders

Saturday, March 21st, 2026

Ryan Rena and The Lake prepare for their first pitch in district play in Wimberley next Tuesday.

                          Let’s GO LAKE!

The Hawks wrapped up their non-district schedule after a win over the Taft Raiders, 8-6 that was an up and down affair that CL was able to start and finish with more ‘UPs’ in an eventual win.

“We got out hit yesterday however we got hits with runners in scoring position, which was big,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla said in response to win.

On the Lake pitching, “CJ (Rodriguez) did a great job on the mound coming in relief and Ryan (Rena) threw strikes.”

Those comments gives a good idea of what The Lake’s Coaches are looking for as district comes calling next Tuesday in Wimberley.

But It was the Raiders. that took a, 1-0 lead to start this battle after a one-out walk that came around to score on a Raider double.

            Make us Proud Hawks!

That lead would evaporate in CL’s 2nd frame as those ‘bunch of run innings’ presented itself when 7 of the first 8 Hawk batters reached base and that one out was having pitcher, Ryan Rena (3-0) with a successful bunt.

The Lake took a, 4-1 lead they would not relinquish for the remainder of this contest.

Taft was able to get back in this game in their bottom of the 4th inning after a one our walk that was followed with a double and two singles and a Hawk, 5-4 lead going into the 5th inning.

Rena got the win in this game and CJ Rodriguez had his first save in his 3 innings of work allowing one earned run pitching those final 3 innings.

                    Let’s GO LAKE!

The Lake’s Rena had 4 quality at bats reaching base on 3 walks and laying down his first sacrifice bunt of the year.

Cullen Barnhart continues his hot bat that included a 3 run double with two outs in the top of the 6th frame. All the Hawk runs reached base on walks~~ around the bases and a lead that would produce enough separation for this Canyon Lake win.

CLHS has had several games of scoring 3 or 4 runs in an inning as their pre-district contests conclude.

The Lake has scored 3 or more runs in 23 of their 90 frames thus far or, 26% of the time while by increasing that up to 4 runs per inning and The Lake has reached that level 15 times for or, 7% of the time.

These Hawks have used 9 different players on the pitching mound which is quite a bit more than in previous campaigns.  Hopefully Coaches can find those diamonds in the rough when district starts.

 

By the Numbers Before District Play:
 6  Players with 10 or more rbi’s.
 7  Total homers thus far.
 8  Times Gram Simpson has been hit by pitch (hbp)
 9  Players with 10 or more hits.
 9  Sacrifice Flies.
11  Players that have over a .500 on base pct. (obp)
14  More strikeouts than walks for Hawk pitching.
20  More walks than strikeouts.
21  Hayes Holladay leads with strikeouts.
32  More Earned Runs than Runs.
34  Stolen Bases.

The Hawks were led with big performances on the mound from Kobe Halverson, Jace Mcgoldrick, Rowan Edwards & Jacob Little during these past tournaments and big offensive games from those players.

“We have been playing great baseball as of late and we are really starting to get going” Head JV Coach Lee Self said after the Hawks big week. “I am super proud of these guys and especially these freshman like Jacob Little, Jake Welkey, Hud Hastings & Dallas Huth that have stepped up in big ways for us this week.”

        Way to be Handy Canyon Lake JV Green!

“We have competed in every single we have played this year and even in our losses we have been in 1 run games and have battled” “I am super excited about these guys’ future and our district games coming up.”

For the 2026 Season the Hawks JV baseball team won 3 out of 4 of their scrimmages and their current record is 6 – 4 on the season so far.

This Green Squad will be back in action this Friday (4:30p) as they are the first game of a JV-Varsity Doubleheader in San Antonio against Taft High School.

CL Hawks Finish With 3-1-1 Record in Comal Clash Tourney

Monday, March 9th, 2026

Canyon Lake matched their first 15 games last year with an, 11-3-1 record and now this Hawk team can hopefully finish with a better second half after last year’s squad finished, 14-10.

This past week, The Lake finished their Comal Clash contests sporting a, 3-1-1 record based on having a deeper pitching staff than their competition.

This year’s team has amassed a, 2.70 earned run average (era) and presently show 4 different pitcher’s with 2 wins. The mayo is more evenly spread across this bread than last year’s edition that had Carter Williams getting the rock as many times possible.

This has Head Coach Victor Escamilla working on all his chess moves before district gets going in two weeks against Wimberley.

Still way too many base on balls and errors that could derail district contests as CL’s hitting usually starts a slight decline when league contest get going. So those first two of the baseball trinity will need to diminish playing those district games.

                              Go Lake!

“Our pitching part has become clearer, “Coach Escamilla said in response to his assessment of where the team is at this time. “Offensively I think we are very streaky individually and we want to have some of that consistency but as we put more games together things are becoming clearer. We also need those guys who are come in when we have a different pitcher… and we need to have an extra outfielder or extra middle fielder or whatever it may be and those things are cleaning up a bit.”

When asked bout how well the catching has been with Wayen Slania-Wertz and Archer Miller behind the plate, “We’re fortunate to have those two…they are young and they’ve got a lot of upside and we are  excited to have both of them.”

                          Go Hawks!

Hayes Holladay is working on a streak of reaching base 9 games in a row and has reached base in all but one contest this season while Archer Miller had his  5 game hitting streak halted in CLake’s final game with San Antonio Wagner.

Other Notes:
Gram Simpson has 64 runs for his career and that has him ranked 5th on that All-Time list…he needs 5 more to be placed 3rd behind Hunter Anderson and Carter Williams who each reached 91 runs scored during their careers.

Ryan Rena (31) is 11 rbi’s from breaking into Top 10 status with RBI’s.

Simpson ranks 3rd in walks behind Tyler Pauly and Carter Williams who each reside with 62 base on balls. Rena is 10th on that same list with 38 walks.

        Way to make some Good Hits!

Stolen bases has Simpson (17) at 9th needing 13 more to take the lead over Daniel Camarillo who last played during the 2012 season. Bryce May (12) and Holladay (9) could reach top ten with Chase Anderson’s 16 stolen bases who is 10th on that list.

Rena needs one more double to tie Logan Felch’s 14 and Waylen Slania-Wertz (10) still has 4 more but being a Sophomore could have his sights on reaching 22 that Carter Williams has that tops that list.

And finally, Simpson needs 5 and Lucas Schexnayder  8 to take the lead in that bruising stat called, Hit-By-Pitch, held by now an EMT Tanner Schultz’s (21)…that makes a lot of sense now based on his trade.

The Lake will use this week playing three contests going to Marion this Monday with a Noon first pitch and then will welcome La Vernia to the Hawk Nest Tuesday starting at 2:30pm.

A road game with Antonian Prep on Wednesday starting at 1:00pm with finish this week’s action.

Let’s GO LAKE!

Lady Lake Track Team Use a One~Two~Knock Out Punch in Wolves Meet

  Congrats Lady Hawk Track & Field!

The Canyon Lake’s Girls Track team does not possess depth like many schools they compete against.

District foe Fredericksburg is a school that always has a plethora of students in each event which allows this school to score well in most of their meets due to their amount of students competing.

Track scored the first 6 in each event and those athletes that finish 4th-5th-6th will in total add enough points for a team victory.

There were times in the past that the Billies would outscore The Lake by 50 or more points in district but lose many of those points as they competed in Area-Regional Meets.

            Way to GO FAST HAWKS!

That would allow CLake to score more points at the Regional Meet due to having enough Hawks scoring in those meets giving The Lake the edge over Freddie.

Canyon Lake has now won their last three meets, not with depth, but with star power.

This Wolves’ Meet had the same result involving 7 athletes who combined to score 131 of those points or 77% of that total of 170 points.

In this Meet The Lake finished first in 6 of the events led by distance runner Eva Zabarcencu’s win in the 1600-3200 meter runs.

                       Let’s GO FAR LAKE!

Te’a Gonzales, Kennedy Grindle and Aubrey Avey had two first place finishes that included the 4×100 meter relay.

This Meet was a One-Two Punch of sorts when taking in the days finished product.

In that 3200 run had Eva Zabarcencu and Sophie Eastland finishing 1st & 2nd.

100 meter dash had Gonzales & Savanna Oberholtzer finishing 1st & 2nd.

300 meter hurdles had Avey & Grindle finishing 1st & 2nd.

100 meter hurdles had Kennedy & Cutrer finishing 1st & 2nd.

Pole Vault had Gindle & Katelyn Lowth finishing 2nd & 3rd.

Those events add up to 86 points which has Canyon Lake finishing ahead of all but 2 other schools. The 2025 State Champion Randolph and 5A Kerrville Tivy.

                          Plug those Leaks Lake!

The Lake first place finish in the 4×100 relay was aided with a 3rd place 4×200 relay and a revived 4×400 relay who turned in their best finish this season finishing 2nd place.

So those three relays were a One-Two-& Knock-out Punch garnering, 38 points adding up to 124 points that topped Tivy’s 112 point final tally.

So, Freshman Sophie Eastland’s  6th Place (1 point) finish in her 1600 Meter Run would have Canyon Lake adding those depth point(s) up when facing tougher group of schools in the future.

The Lake will be off these next two weeks before finishing their last non-district meet in Wimberley on Thursday March 26th.

A short drive to watch a salty group of ladies before the meets that count  in April
