Pitcher Nick Kissel had a complete game three hitter in this win as the Hawk Pitchers kept their District 27-3A era at 1.99 per game.

Kissel had some aggression working in this game as he had a career high five hit batters which helped the Billies keep innings alive and able to score five runs with only three hits.

Fredericksburg has just one win this year in district and CL was the recipient of that victory for the Billies, but in this game Canyon Lake got in gear in the 4th inning scoring 4 runs and riding that 3 run lead to the end of this game.

The Hawks scored two runs in the first inning while keeping their sixth district foe without a run in that same inning.

Hawks Looking for a Rainbow to start their Season Fresh

CL Hawks continue to struggle offensively in the first few innings and Wimberley takes advantage in their 10-6 win on Tuesday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The Texans jutted out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning before CL could answer and that was the template for the rest of the evening. As Wimberley had Canyon Lake playing catch-up for the rest of the game.

“We are not starting like we were earlier this year on offense,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We are just not starting when we should.”

Kelsey Ahrens and Alexis Robinson both finished the game with two hits leading CL’s offense.

Canyon Lake swept Wimberley on Monday night at the Hawk Diamond, 12-6 and 9-2.

It was the third win for the Hawks over Wimberley and improved their District 27-3A record to 5-1.

Both games had the Texans drawing first blood in the first inning with a run, but soon the Hawks would respond with vengeance, scoring at will.

Wimberley jumped out to a 5-3 lead in that first game when they bottled up all their hits and walks in that one inning to score 4 runs.

CL also chipped in with a couple of errors for some gift wrapped runs for the Visitors.

“We finally loosened up,” Head JV Coach Brian Owens opened. “We put pressure on their (Wimberley’s) defense and then we kicked it up with our offense.”

getting athletes in shape as the Hawk Relays commences this Thursday and District 27-3A Meet in a couple of weeks.

There have been some personal bests this season and Shane Relkin had that moment last week in the long jump hitting a distance of 20’5.25 feet.

Breaking the 20 foot mark is a goal for athletes in having a chance to score some points for the team.

“It was last jump,” Junior Relkin said. “It felt like a solid jump and the coaches said to go up six inches on my step…I had a solid jump and I just flew and then had a good landing. It was exciting to getting one of the goals that I had set.”

Canyon Lake finished district play with four wins when the Hawks took a, 1-0 victory over Wimberley last

Parziale’s Pizza says Go Hawks!!

Friday.

“I am very proud of the team and our accomplishments,” Head Coach Erich Robinson started. “I think this might be a school record, if not a record for myself and Coach Paisley, as far as first year Varsity Girls’ Soccer Coaches.”

The Hawks finished the sweep when they made a Christy Fowler first half goal stand with a great defensive effort with Tiffany Laurent kept all attempts at goal a losing proposition.

“Wow, it was a ‘nail bitter’, Coach Robinson said. “I was really proud of my girls, they did not back down or give up.”

Canyon Lake’s goal in the first half stood up as being good enough in this contest.

“It was a tough first half, sunny and against the wind,” Coach Robinson continued. “I had hoped to score more in the second half, but we held them to accomplish our goal-a victory.”

This win will allow the Hawks to line up against Boerne Champion for Bi-District this week after finishing in 3rd Place in District.

Champion finished in 2nd in their district setting up this first round of action.

“I think we have a big challenge against Boerne Champion,” Robinson said succinctly. “I also believe that we can accomplish what we put our minds to…..We only have one day to practice and I want to bring them (Champion) a game and not just play defense.”

The Hawks have a well balanced team this year with almost the same amount players for each of the classes.

The Lady Hawks started their offense too late in the loss to Bandera this past

Y4 Custom Homes Support Canyon Lake softball

Friday night leaving the diamond with a close, 9-8 set back.

Canyon Lake responded with 2 runs in the third inning to cut the Bulldog lead to two runs and then scored a single run in the top of the sixth inning to draw to within a one run deficit, 5-4.

The Hawks could not hold Bandera in the bottom of the 6th inning when the Bulldogs scored 4 runs and raced to that final inning leading, 9-4.

Carly DuBois had four hits with three runs scored and knocked with a triple, the only extra base hit for The Lake.

Brianna Young finished with 3 hits and Alexis Robinson was the other Hawk with multiple hits.

Young was also, johnny on the spot, with 3 rbi in the game. Young is sporting a .473 average and is getting on base with a .586 clip this season.

CL now starts district play with 2 losses and their next game will be Tuesday when Wimberley comes to town.

Canyon Lake finished their game against Boerne on the short end of the stick as the first place

Pitcher Nick Kissel

District 27-3A team showed why they are on top of the heap in this win, 7-2.

Boerne has a long resume and with their strong pitching and timely hitting it was hard for the Hawks to get an upper hand.

“We had two innings where we bumped it up,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “Boerne play the game year round, if we play defense then we can play our game.”

Canyon Lake did show glimpses of giving this opponent a surprise when they responded by working out of a bases loaded and no out jam in the second inning.

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity lost to Fredericksburg in a hard fought and windy affair on

Third-Baseman Peyton Tyra

Tuesday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The Hawks were in the lead 8-7 going into the third inning but could only muster one more run for a two run loss.

There was a lot of good fielding and in those first two innings as well as some manufactured runs when both teams settled down for just one run in their last inning of play.

Christine Rider was just getting into her stride needing only six pitches to retire the Billies in their last at bat.

Daniellia Bustamante also helped with her speed scoring two runs after two walks.

Brianna Hemphill pitched in with two hits, runs, and rbi.

Both Hemphill and Bustamante also get some time with the Varstiy.

When asked what goes on when you are playing on two rosters, Bustamante said, “It is hectic but I enjoy it….anyway I can help the team.”

“The Junior Varsity just want to get better and work together more,” Bustamante closed. “This was one of our best games so far this year.”

Third baseban Peyton Tyra also played solid defense helping keep the damage low in this loss.

“We are trying to get better as a team and of course win,” Third Baseman Tyra said.

Tyra had not played the last couple of years and is new to CL and decided to pick a glove back up this season.

“I just wanted to play again,” Tyra deduced. “A lot of us are new and we just want to help each other.”

Canyon Lake is only in their second year of fielding a Junior Varsity and seeing these young athletes hone in on their skills will only enhance a program that is showing signs of becoming a team to be reckoned with.

Tough loss but the positives could be seen and having more opportunities to get playing time this Hawk team.

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

The Hawks started their District 27-3A season on a losing note, when the Fredericksburg Billies jumped on the Hawks and did not let go until they had won going away, 12-5.

“We just did not focus on the game at hand,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We looked flat and played flat.”

Canyon Lake has youth with very few seniors and juniors in a daily lineup for the Hawks.

When asked what will need to happen to get through this district season.

“We will have to break everything down again and start over,” Coach Gallagher offered. “We did not show that we were as good as we thought we were.”

Granted this was just the first game of this district campaign and there will be many more games to make some statements throughout this year.

Two freshman players did have decent game.

Short Stop Kat Weber reached base all three times she was at the plate with two hits and a walk.

Weber has been very adept in reaching base this season with several walks and tonight those two hits.

Freshman centerfielder Carly DuBois also reached base with two hits and two runs.

Sophomore Cameron Berger pich-hit for Sophomore Tiare Kacir and responded with a two run double in the final inning.

The ReSporter wanted to give that casual reader an idea of how young this team actually is and seeing that this was the first district game for these athletes and knowing that better times will certainly come.

Hopefully this Friday when Canyon Lake travels to Bandera for a game with the Bulldogs.

The CL Hawks tripled their pleasure on Saturday as their 7 games in two days came to a

close at the San Marcos Softball Tournament.

Canyon Lake finished non-district play with a healthy dose of games as they ready for their opening game this coming Tuesday at home against the Fredericksburg Billies.

In the Hawks game with Socorro, CL had 4 triples, scored three runs in three of their innings, and won the third game of this tournament.

The Hawks deviated from their lineup in this game and reaped some benefits when Alexis Robinson responded with three rbi with her two triples while batting third and not lead off.

Canyon Lake takes Wimberley, in an errorfest game on Friday night at the Hawk diamond, 7-6.

The Hawks had self inflicted adversity with 8 errors in this game and still found a way to win.

Go back these last couple of years and you can’t count the number of times this type of game would of been a loss. The ReSporter’s guess? A-lot!

“You can’t give a team so many extra at bats,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant sad errorlessly. “But it was time we got a chance to steal a game….they (Canyon Lake) could of sulked and started blaming each other, but they kept themselves up and battled through those mistakes.”

Canyon Lake had the lead for most of the game and this time the most important part of a game, that last inning.
