Cassidy Felps ready for personal bests at District.

Canyon Lake’s Swimming Team had their best showing since their inception as they will be sending 12 athletes to the Region Meet next week in Rosenberg on Thursday.

“Saying that we had an Extremely Successful District Meet on Friday would be a huge understatement,” Head Swimming Coach Kim Moses divided the Red Sea. “We are so proud of every swim team member and look forward to our next steps.”

The Boy’s team had a 4th place finish while the ladies finished in the 9th spot as the team standing was an impressive 6th place at the meet.

A Swimming team will have to compete with larger schools on many occasions since not every school will have a swim team.

The Hawks beat the Greyhounds to the rabbit as Canyon Lake had to work out of a 22-17 deficit in starting the 2nd half.

This game was won in the 3rd quarter when the Hawks raced out with a, 19-5 advantage. Offense and Defense was on a grand scale as everything in this 3rd quarter went like clock work.

Starters and the bench were on the same page as foul trouble did not deter the resolve this Hawk team that has one goal and that is finishing this year with a 15 game winning streak.

During that second half blitz, Zach Taliaferro had a nifty no-look perfect pass to Anthony Zavala for a high octane points that put the crowd in hyper speed.

Canyon Lake finds ‘It’ in win over Boerne, 63-56 at the Hawk Nest, as this game finished the first round of District 28-4A contests. CL stands all alone in 2nd place and now will work on bigger goals as this season continues.

“That was awesome,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman started. “I am proud of the guys…our team executed and competed for the majority of the game and that was the most emotion this year.”

Coach Chapman studied hard for this game and the fruits of that labor tasted good.

“Boerne was constantly playing catch-up and we really prepared for it as the kids were locked in,” Chapman said excitedly. “They executed the scouting report….especially on defense.”

Ian Hasness after finishing 2nd Place at Judson HS

Canyon Lake’s Tennis Team went to the Judson ISD Tournament last weekend and competed with the big schools as the Spring Season continues sprout as the weather gets warmer and days start to elongate.

“We started the tournament with a 2 and half delay due to the fog and dew on the courts,” Head Tennis Coach Kirstin McStravick said. “I am proud to announce our very own Ian Hasness got 2nd place at the tournament.”

Hasness won the first game, 6-3 and then his opponent had the same score against Ian in the second game which had both combatants having a tiebreaker that Hasness took by a convincing, 10-2 score.

The Boy’s Soccer team put a whippen on La Vernia, 7-3 as the Hawks got offensive in this blow out.

Those 7 goals has this year’s team with 31 for the year and now needs just 4 more to pass last year’s total and have the most in their history.

There was a two year drought during the ’13-’14 seasons when those two campaigns could only muster 10 total goals combined.

Grayson Rohrbacher scored 4 goals and James Alexander, Matthew Bell, and Jordan Sczech rounded out the scoring.

The Hawk Girl’s Soccer continues to have a strong season as they turned the tables on La Vernia with a, 1-0 victory on Tuesday night, reversing that same score LV scored against Canyon Lake earlier this season.

“For our team to get a win against a team we previously lost to, pretty much evens the score,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney commented. “In my eyes the scores are just settled, what I took away from this game was how we won.”

CL’s defense has been guarding the net like Trump wants to guard the border as no Hawk opponent has scored more than one goal in any game up to this point of the schedule.

“There was a lot of good stuff that came out of this tournament,” Head Coach Warren Graham started. “We got a lot of experience as a result of this game. This will prepare us for district and we are looking forward to it.”

Bandera only took one minute to take their first lead of this game as CL looked dazed in starting this Championship match.

The Bulldogs are also in the same District as the Hawks and have just one loss this season finishing as top bullDog in the tournament with a 7-1 record.

CL did well after winning their first 3 games as Brayden Damico did not allow a goal those first 3 contests.

The Lady Hawks will have a tough climb to reach the playoff podium after a hard fought loss to Bandera last Friday night, 50-39.

The ReSporter has commented on how tough District 28-4A is and Bandera took care of a Hondo Owl team in their first district game that made a statement that the Bulldogs would not be an easy foe on your schedule either.

CL Hawks JV win 10th game in a row over Bandera as the Lake’s Defense took center stage in grinding out this win, 33-26.

“We did not hit our shots,” Head JV Coach Hooper said. “We grinded out a win and sometimes it is not pretty but we will take it.”

Spoken like a Dad of the 7 ugly ducklings while trying to put make-up on those Hawks.

Rory Preiss has 8th straight game with double digit scoring

Canyon Lake beat Bandera and now enjoys a 2-1 District 28-4A record as they wait for a State Ranked Boerne team on next Friday.

The Hawks did not look sharp in this win but there were times not to long ago that CL’s basketball team would have taken any type of victory in district play.

“We played with great effort and energy,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “Our defense was ok but we had too many turnovers and too many missed shots.”

But a win is a win and that will have to suffice even when the team is not playing at their peak level.

With these two district wins, Canyon Lake has already tied or beaten 5 other Hawk years in Basketball lore for victories in district play.

This conquest tied last year’s total and the next win, Canyon Lake, will be tied with the all-time best win total in Hawk history at 14. The 2008-09 Hawk team stood with that total in the Hawks 2nd year of play.
