Canyon Lake’s Soccer team is on the brink of setting some records that has been a long time in coming.

Gordon the Plumber Supports Hawk’s Soccer!!

Canyon Lake scored their most goals in a game with their victory (7) as 6 goals were scored in the Hawks win back in 2009-10 season over Bloomington in the Victoria St. Joseph Tournament.

Those 7 goals were also the same number of goals Canyon Lake had all of last season. (13 games)

With this win, CL also tied their longest win streak with at two with this victory.

Mike Thorpe was on this night scoring four goals with two assists to boot and was joined by James Alexander, Grayson Rohrbacher, and Julian DeLaPaz.

Thorpe was also joined with three other Hawk’s on assist, Rohrbacher, Jordan Schzech, and Juan Guzman.

CL Hawks won their double header with Smithville as both Girls and Boys scored victories before the start of District 28-4A play next week.

Head Soccer Coach Ryan Tierney

Canyon Lake has not had this type of excitement on the Soccer field with two teams since the school started and with another win in the books, both teams look poised to have success when the real season in District 28-4A, get going.

The Lady Hawks, now have 14 players that have scored a goal or assist this season as six different girls got in the scoring books in their 8 goal tally with Smithville.

CL had a chance to go over several parts of the game as Head Coach Ryan Tierney commented, “Our main focus of improvement is movement off the ball.”

Christy Fowler led CL again on Tuesday when she pulled off another Texas Hat Trick in scoring four goals for the third game in a row.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won their must win game in overtime against Yoakum last Friday night, 45-41.

Sarah Schneider scores 14 points in win over Yoakum to keep the Hawks in the thick of their District 26-4A race.

The Hawks were missing in action in those first two quarters as Yoakum had successfully put a lid on the rim, keeping Canyon Lake with a dismal first half of shooting.

“Good win, but it hurt going 3 for 31 from the floor early,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher stated. “I was proud of the girls effort early but felt we did not have the edge defensively we needed.”

That certainly played out in the second quarter as the Bulldogs outscored CL eight points going into halftime having a double digit lead, 23-12.

Yoakum forgot to take the lid off that same rim CL played in the first half and held the Bulldogs to 4 points in the third quarter allowing Canyon Lake to take a three point lead going into the fourth quarter of play.

“At half, we switched to a 2-3 zone defense hoping to throw them off their game and it definitely worked for the third quarter allowing us to claw back in,” Coach Gallagher surmised.

CL Hawks Basketball Backs are against the wall after a loss to Yoakum on Friday night, 63-58.

Canyon Lake shot well from the floor but too many turnovers did not allow this Hawk team to have more shots in committing those costly miscues.

CL did have three players get to double digit scoring in the game as Junior Brandon Ward led the trio with 14 points while Seniors Skyler Tschoepe and Garrett Winters finished with 12 and 11 points.

A good overall game from Sophomore Rory Preiss as he missed just one shot, with an assist and 4 steals for Canyon Lake.

Preiss also led the Hawks with 8 rebounds and has accumulated 122 for the season only needing 29 more this season to crack the top ten rebounders for the Hawks.

Canyon Lake’s Lady Soccer team SSSSCOOOOORRRRREEEDDDD 8 goals in their win over La Vernia while shutting out the Bears in a non-district game Tuesday night at the Hawk Stadium.

Brandi Schimonsky broke the dam scoring first goal in La Vernia game.

The Hawks scored at will against this first year club and took no prisoners.

“We still have a long way to go,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney said. “We were firing on all cylinders, but what worries me is defense but we got our job done tonight.”

Senior Christy Fowler scored four of the goals in the win…in hockey a four goal game is called a Texas hat trick and being in Texas, Fowler was all smiles after this game.

“This was spectacular,” Fowler scored. “This year our team is very strong and we are playing as a team.”

Canyon Lake played their entire game playing offense and with the game getting out of hand scoring wise, CL had an opportunity of practicing on other parts of their game.

Canyon Lake had a rough night on Tuesday as the Boy’s team got lapped and the Lady Hawks were beat in the last quarter.

The Lady Hawks had a great comeback in their game as they were down 11 points in the second quarter and regained the lead on a last second three pointer from Alexa Ramos to end the third quarter, 36-35 in favor of CL.

Sarah Schneider adds much needed depth to Canyon Lake’s inside game.

The game went back and forth to start the fourth quarter as CL had a, 42-41 lead with a little over five minutes to go in the contest.

That is when the Wimberley went on a 12-2 run to end the game with a win.

This loss tied Canyon Lake with Wimberley and Cuero as each team has a 3-2 record with a game each to end the first round of district games.

Canyon Lake has upped their game this year as several players have started playing a much higher game competition wise.

Sophomore James Alexander was next with a goal and one assist and 3 points while Mike Thorpe and Luke Justis finished the scoring with 2 and 1 point respectfully.

Junior Thorpe with a goal and Freshman Justis getting his goal with another Hawk assist.

Canyon Lake Hawks was as cold as the weather in their loss to Cuero losing, 49-35.

A 25% shooting percentage did not allow CL to get any momentum in this game as they had their lowest amount of turnovers for the year with only seven miscues.

Those good attributes did not add enough points for Canyon Lake and now will be facing a tough foe in Wimberley at the Hawk Nest this coming Tuesday.

Rory Preiss did have a good game with a 15 point game and 8 rebounds but with little help from the rest of the team left this game out of reach.

Sean Nolan did end up with 10 rebounds which allowed him to pass Andrew Riali for the all time rebound record for the Hawks.

The nine assists for the 13 shots that were made was also a good part of their game.

==============================================

Canyon Lake won a big game in Cuero when Freshman Alexa Ramos went to the bank with her free throw giving the Hawks a one point victory,

“We played a full four quarters,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “This was a huge team effort.”

This game was close the whole way as the biggest lead was six points for Cuero.

“They (Cuero) had two good runs and Kyndall Drum came through both times and stopped the bleeding scoring both times,” Coach Gallagher praised.

Foul trouble was the culprit in the Hawks last game with Navarro, but on this night Canyon Lake kept all the players in the game, competing throughout the contest.

The Hawk two Freshman players took center stage in the closing moments as Reagan Heun tied the game with her shot and Ramos ended the game making her free throw with less than a second left on the clock.

That series was set up with a great defensive effort by CL when Ramos dribbled to her goal and was fouled going to hole.

There is a play ground saying that a bank shot only counts when you call it, and Ramos took care of her shot from the charity stripe going to the bank for a one point deposit.

“Yes sir, I was thinking about shooting the shot off the bank,” Ramos said. “All I had to do is make one shot and all I did was focus on the front of the rim.”

So, composure of calling a bank shot made this game a thing of beauty as Canyon Lake improved to a 3-1 district record and sole position of second place as the first round of games comes to an end next week.

Senior Drum was all smiles after this game as she continues to get stronger after starting late for her last year on the hardwood.

“I knew I had to get mentally smart and do my part,” Drum said after commenting on her play in stopping the Gobblers two runs.

Now the Hawks will have a chance to cement a playoff spot in their game with Wimberley next Tuesday in the Hawk Gym.

“We are still building and we can go all the way,” Drum beat. “We have a chance build on this win and get mentally tough for the rest of our games.”

“This will be a very tough game,” Ramos said while commenting on the next game with the Texans. “The team that wants it more will win and with our energy and heart we can pull it off.”

“This game brought us together a little more and it proves that freshman can help this team,” Ramos said like a Senior.

Canyon Lake has not been in this rarefied air for a while and the girls will need your support in the Hawk Nest this coming Tuesday against the Texans.
