Soccer is Playoff Bound after 2-1 Win over Wimberley

Canyon Lake can now claim that every team sport has made the playoffs as Boy’s Soccer knocked off Wimberley, 2-1.

“Speechless and extremely proud,” Head Coach Warren Graham sighed. “We have had a progression as last year we got our first district win and this year we got to 8 wins and that shows you how hard they have worked.”

This game did have several chances for Wimberley to score a late goal and end the Hawk’s season but good defense kept that proverbial ball from crossing the line.

“We just had to keep fighting and I knew they would do their job,” Coach Graham commented remembering those last few minutes of this historic game.

This contest was a win or go home for the Hawks and an early goal in the first half from Matthew Bell gave CL an early lead that they would enjoy throughout this contest.

Catcher Kat Weber Will Throw You Out 

Canyon Lake continued their District 26-4A Season in a bad dream as another close loss to Cuero moves the Hawks record to 0-4 in district play losing, 3-1.

“We will need to stay together as a team,” Head Coach John Gallagher calculated after the loss. “We stranded way too many runners and we just got to score.”

On how important this next week will be, “Everybody is upbeat all of the girls know we can turn this around.”

The Hawks are the best 0-4 team in Texas as this talented group just needs a few good things to happen in order to turn this tide.

Canyon Lake has now gone 5 games without scoring in one of the first 3 innings. Those slow starts have proven to be a hard hole to climb out of.

                         Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake could not get any traction in their loss to Gonzales and go 0-2 to start District 26-4A play.

“I knew this would be a tight game,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did not execute when we needed to, we played good defense and we pitched well and we also threw two base runners on second, but offensively we were not on.”

The Hawks bats have gone silent with just 3 hits in this contest and failing to get a batter to 3rd base. In fact, that happened just once hence that one run scored on an Apache error.

Alexis Robinson was the losing pitcher but was also having trouble with her strike zone throwing 132 pitches with 59 of those pitches being called a ball.

Isaiah Daily scores 2 runs and doubles another run in

Canyon Lake Hawks played their postponed Friday game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but not getting those needed hits resulted in a loss to Marble Falls, 8-4.

“We are not that far away,” Head Baseball Coach Trent Dunavant fielded. “We need to put our game all together, when we have something working then we will be lacking in another part of our game. In our last game we did not have a good fielding game but good pitching. In this game we fielded the ball well but our pitching was not up to par.”

There is good news however as this Mustang team had lapped CL earlier this year in the season with a short run ruled game and seeing how well the Hawks fielded the ball was a welcomed sight and playing a full 7 inning game and keeping the contest within a hit here or there for a rally gave the team hope.

Bailey Drum scores 41 points in Bandera Meet

Canyon Lake Varsity finished 2nd in the Bandera Track Meet in both the Girls and Boys team.

It was a decent night but when the Hawks finish second then that will make it a longer ride home as this group of students are getting hungry for wins.

Haden Lee was the high point for the Hawks as this Senior scored in the Jumps, Dash, Relay, and Throwing events.

Lee needs to be fed at a cafeteria as he wants to fill his trey with several different types of food.

Hawks Fly Away from Competition in Bandera Relays

Canyon Lakes Boy’s and Girl’s Track team both racked up points in their wins in Bandera on Wednesday.

The Hawk boys more than doubled the competition showing just how deep this year’s JV has become.

CL’s lady Hawks beat the second place Heritage team by 101 points as they too, dominated their field.

This year’s Junior Varsity clubs are dominating and showing the Hawk Nation that these students will soon be bringing their act to the Varsity level soon.

                        Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake did themselves no favors in their loss to Burnet, 10-4 on Tuesday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The Hawks had double figures in the error department giving the Bulldogs way too many chances for scoring in this eventual loss.

Only 2 earned runs in this contest where CL outhit their opponent but just could not get their fielding to cooperate.

Canyon Lake closed the gap to, 4-3 in the third inning but in that inning, after a Rory Preiss rbi hit, was caught trying to advance to second base.

                   Go Lady Hawks

Canyon Lake Ladies Track & Field accomplished a first when they won the Panther Relay in Navarro last Thursday.

The Hawk Junior Varsity finished with a 2nd place trophy as the depth CL is starting to come to fruition.

Bailey Drum had a great evening finishing with 44 points out of a possible 45. Not a bad percentage as she was joined by another Senior, Emma Gray who had a 2nd place finish in the 100 meter hurdles giving Canyon Lake 24 points in this event as Sydney Reibschaeger finished 3rd in the event.

Reibschaeger finished 3rd in the 300 meter hurdles with Drum’s 1st place and another 16 points in a strong Hawk race. That gave Canyon Lake 40 points in those two hurdle runs.

Canyon Lake dominated the Panther Relays in Navarro last Thursday as the Hawk Boys team finished

Hawks have Fly Over at Panther Relays

first in the Varsity and Junior Varsity divisions.

The Hawks had started their first 3 Track Meets in competition with larger schools and on this night, CL was running and throwing against schools in their same class or smaller.

This resulted in what the Hawk Nation was hoping for as Canyon Lake’s depth was too much as they ran away from their adversaries in winning both divisions.

Caimen McDonough came back to earth and scored 34 points which was down from his 42 point day last week in Dripping Springs.

McDonough had Trenton Lorett nipping at his heels with a 31 point day as those two athletes scored more points than 4 schools which if you added up those team’s points they would have totaled 67 points.

Colton McDonald had 2 hits in loss to Columbus

Canyon Lake could not capitalize in their loss to Columbus, 15-6, during the Comal County Baseball Tournament.

The Hawks made a valiant comeback when they scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 2nd to draw within 2 runs of the visitors.

That inning had 4 timely hits and enough chaos to put Canyon Lake into a position to make a game on this night.

CL just could not get a 1-2-3 inning as Columbus continued to put pressure on the Hawk defense as Hawk errors made the innings too long for the tired arms for Canyon Lake to withstand the onslaught.

Canyon Lake is also short on arms as JC Parrish (the catcher) got the nod as the starting pitcher on this night.
