Canyon Lake went to battle again in their last game of this season with a loss to a tough Navarro squad, 14-6.

Seniors Brianna Young and Emma Broussard pose after final Hawk Game

It was Senior Night on this wet night for two Hawks giving fans a chance to say good-bye, yet looking at this lineup you also have a ton of youngsters.

Brianna Young and Emma Broussard both helped plug some key holes, but being a freshman or sophomore against older clubs just did not translate to victories in District 27-3A.

“Considering the conditions with rain, we did not give up,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We hit this pitcher a lot better this time and our players played their heart out for the seniors and everybody else.”

Navarro started with three runs to start this affair, giving CL a glimpse of what they would have to do to win this game.

Canyon Lake had scored more runs this season than any other Hawk team and this would be a game where scoring would be needed in mass.

In other words, don’t get caught up in this year’s point totals because the future is where this finish line will be.

Several Hawks had breakout seasons and next year will hopefully be able to fly to their finish line.

Case and point, a Freshman Hurdler that took this year by storm, by the name of Brandon Courtney who broke all of the Hawk records in the 110 and 300 meter hurdles.

Canyon Lake was left speechless in another pitching gem, losing by a narrow, 1-0 game to

Catcher Kyle Krohn

Wimberley.

The Hawks met another Texan pitcher that was, to put it lightly, on.

CL had three base runners for the night and was not able to get any momentum in this contest.

Justin Gray was the Texan inflicting the pain as he had two balls on only three batters with just one Hawk that ran a count to three balls for this game.

“We had to do something to get a runner to second base,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said.

Hawks discussing who is going to go try and find Kelsey Ahrens’ Home Run Ball

Canyon Lake had an electric game when Kelsey Ahrens hit a 3-run walk off home run in the bottom of the 7th inning, helping CL stay alive for a playoff spot beating unbeaten Bandera, 8-7 on

Kelsey Ahrens and what used to be a round Softball

Tuesday night at Hawk Field.

“No. 1, you never give up or quit believing that we could win,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “This will motivate you to have inspired practices this week to help ride this into our Wimberley game.”

Coach Gallagher continued, “For all the errors and mental mistakes we had, we battled to take it to them.”

Into the night, was what the crowd saw with amazement as this home run was by far the longest hit ball in Hawk history.

Canyon Lake only had one inning that was not good, but that is all it took for

Y4 Custom Homes Supports Canyon Lake Softball

Fredericksburg to take control of the final in a disappointing loss, 8-5 last Friday.

The Hawks was in control with a 4 run lead going into the fifth inning and that was when the proverbial dam broke and the Billies responded with 7 of their 11 hits in the game pulling a way with a 7-4 lead.

Of those 7 hits, 4 were doubles and Canyon Lake would not be able to rally for a win for this early start, where the Varsity was playing before the usual JV game.

CL had been shut out a day earlier and right off the bat (pardon the pun), Carly DuBois had a first pitch single that bounced over the pitchers head into centerfield.

The date was April 23, 2010 when Canyon Lake last had a game stopped in district play based

on the mercy rule which goes into effect if a team has a 10 run lead or more by the 5th inning.

Ingram Moore was in town and left early after CL finished the game, 12-2 behind the pitching of Cody Breest after an 11 strikeout evening.

This year’s edition had mercy on the Bulldogs after the 5th inning and a 16-3 win.

Daulton Winters (from 2010 game) had two runs on one hit and a walk….wait….wait…cousin, Garrett Winters was back at the lead off position in the line-up and had two hits and three runs.

Almost four years later, as CL would also unleash one of their top offensive games in their history to boot.

A five run and eight run first two innings was all it took when Nick Cahill swatted a ball over the left field fence for a grand slam in that first inning spelling doom or what would soon become a mercy game.

Canyon Lake breaks the ice in first District 27-3A win over Boerne, 10-3.

Lizzy Henderson continues a legacy of Henderson players in the Hawk infield

The Hawks have had their share more downs than ups this district season, but things fell into place when this CL team sprinted out for a 5-0 lead and finished off the Greyhounds.

“Kids worked hard all week in practice and we struck early and that was the key in this game,” Head Coach John Gallagher stated. “This will give us some confidence offensively.”

Another home run for Alexis Robinson in that first inning to start the fireworks.

“I was just trying to make contact,” Robinson said.

That contact gave the Hawks the shot in the arm needed in getting out of their doldrums.

Four different players had two hits in this hit parade as the bottom of the order collected four of those 10 hits.

Lizzy Henderson and Tiare Kacir kept innings going with their offense and Henderson seems to be settled in as the everyday first baseman now for Canyon Lake.
