Hawks had a walk in the park with two wins in Wimberley on a cold Monday night.

Canyon Lake outhit the Texans by 13, but walking nine players kept this game close as the Hawks completed a double header sweep after a 7-6 win in their first game.

“We won two tight ball games tonight,” Coach Brian Owens said. “It is those little things with the teams enthusiasm and communication on the field that win tight ball games.”

“Nick Kissell, coming in for Austin Headrick in that first game when the game was on the line and holding Wimberley that allowed us to comeback and William Volz doing the same thing in game two.”

Starting pitcher, Hayden Dubois had a no-hitter when Coach Owens went to the mound in the bottom of the fourth after allowing a couple of runs on walks.

Yes, it was a no hitter, but with seven walks Dubois certainly did not have command of the plate on this night.

“I went to get him because he was getting tired,” Coach Owens said. “He played hard in that first game and his legs were dead.”

On if he thought about letting Dubois continued pitching since he had a no hitter, “I did not even know he had a no hitter. But even if I did know, he (Dubois) would not complain because he is a team player.”

The Lady Hawks had the lead and then a dam broke and C-Lake could not hold the Bulldogs in their 12-2 loss on Friday night at Hawk Field.

Canyon Lake had just one error in those first three innings and a small one run lead and showed much promise.

There were however a lot of errors in that Lake and when that dam broke, CL had seven in their last three innings of work.

“We played hard early and had momentum and that one inning did us in,” Head Coach John Gallagher surmised. “We need to overcome those mistakes, but once it started, then it just got worse.”

                         First Three Innings            Second Three Innings
Hits given up                    0                               8

Errors committed                 1                               7

Night and day for Canyon Lake and when those leaks started the Hawks did not have enough fingers to plug all those holes in that dam and the inevitable happened forming a Canyon within minutes.

Alexis Robinson did reach base all three plate appearances and Kelsey Ahrens did have a shot that almost cleared the fences but it was way too little to help save this dam.

Now Canyon Lake will travel to Wimberley this next Tuesday with a game that hopefully they can keep that momentum for a whole game.

Hawks lost points for Track and Field when several athletes were dancing out of their blocks for Thursday night in San Antonio while CL was competing in Wimberley.

Canyon Lake hopes to have all of their athletes next week when the Hawks host their meet on Thursday before Easter Break.

Canyon Lake has officially checked in to the Heartbreak Hotel after another loss by one run to Navarro last Friday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The offense for both schools was over after a home run in the top of the first inning with two outs.

Both pitchers and their defense were able to wrap this game up in a little over 1:20 minutes.

Two innings of, what ifs, continued this heartbreak season with a bases loaded no outs inning and nothing to show for it.

The other inning had two runners on base and a bullet hit off the bat into Navarro’s third baseman mitt, ending that inning with a double play.

This heartbreak hotel had the tenants taking their own luggage to their room and no one to help.

Logan Felch pitched a masterful game with one pitch he would love to have back.

Kyler Huff had a double for the Hawks only extra base hit and Michael Brady kept his hot streak with two hits.

Another heartbreak game and hopefully this hotel is full now and Canyon Lake can get a room at Hotel Valencia Riverwalk in San Antonio and a new season can begin.

Hawks Girls Track team finished with 45 points in the Texan Relays on Thursday, March 21 in Wimberley.

Triple Jump seems to be that one event that is the in thing to do. Maybe this has evolved from Marisa Ellis reaching State last season.

If you put all the Triple Jump distances down for District 27-3A competitors, then you would have the following points from this one event:

Place  Name             Distance        Team           Points
 1st   Marisa Ellis       36'4          Hawks            10

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity finished 3rd place beating out several larger schools. (Marble Falls, Lehman, Dripping Springs and other schools.

Lady Hawks Tracksters are pretty powerful considering the number of athletes they have participating for the team this season.

Trena Lorett is one of those athletes that would be entered in every event they would let her enter and that is certainly as asset for the Hawks this year.

Unfortunately for CL they only allow five events per meet.

Lorett has been playing Volleyball, Basketball, and every Sport allowed in Track.

Put is this way, if they had Table Tennis, then this young lady would be involved.

“I’m super competitive and driven,” Lorett stated matter of fact. “If I was in the stands watching a sport, then I would want to be out there competing.”

One thing that could be hard for most people is making the switch between sports during the year.

Lorett has that covered, “When I’m playing Volleyball, then I’m playing select Basketball and when I’m playing Basketball, then I’m playing select Volleyball.”

You can see how Lorett takes care of that potential problem. She just double (more…)

By Head Golf Coach Greg Norris

The Canyon Lake boys golf team played host to 73 golfers on Wednesday at Canyon Lake Golf Club in Startzville.

The Hawks finished in second place in the 14 team event, shooting 330, their second best round of the season. The Steele Knights took home the winners trophy with a score of 328, besting the Hawks by 2 shots. East Central finished third at 346.
East Central’s Tyler Haecker shot 76 to win the individual title.

The Hawks were led by a pair of 79’s. Sophomore Skyler Tschoepe had 13 pars, including a string of 7 in a row on the back 9 where he shot one over 37 to secure 2nd place individual. Tschoepe parred the number one handicap hole to win the 3 way tie-breaker.

Senior Ralph Gonzales also shot 79 for the Hawks which included birdies on his first two holes of the day followed up with 7 pars. He won the third place medal with a birdie on the number three handicap hole to win the tie-breaker over Eric Ayers of Steele.

JJ Herrera shot 85 which included 8 pars over the 6520 yard course while teammate Andrew Riali had 6 pars en route to a round of 87.

The Hawks return to action next Wednesday when they travel to Lady Bird Johnson golf course in Fredericksburg.

Canyon Lake could not hold onto a two run lead in the seventh inning and end up giving a game to Wimberley in extra innings, 4-3.

The Hawks were progressing through the game with timely double plays and hitting while forging to what seemed to be a comfortable win.

Then two hit batters to start the seventh inning ended up scoring on the Texans only hit of that stanza and tying the game which eventually led to this heartbreaking loss.

Daniel Camarillo started the game with a double in the gap and scored the Hawks opening run when the Texans pitcher wild pitched him home on a bang…bang play at the plate.

Canyon Lake drew blood again in the third when Peyton Sipila singled with one out and advanced to second on catcher’s indifference.

Enter Cody Powell, who proceeded to have a seven pitch at bat and he finally found a pitch to handle scoring Sipila with a single.

That at bat by Powell had six of those seven pitches in the strike zone and speaks well for a great at bat. Powell ended this game with three hits.

The Hawks last score was ln the next inning when CL had two outs that were made on the base paths.

With Camarillo advancing to third with Travis Walker’s hard grounder in the hole, the ball hit Camarillo’s foot resulting in runner’s interference and an automatic out.

Walker’s hit would of scored Camarillo, but all CL had to show for this first out of the inning was two runners on and one out.

(more…)

The Hawks evened their district record with a walk off single by Michael Brady helping CL overcome a two run deficit in their last at bat.

Canyon Lake had a 3-2 lead starting the third inning but a seventh inning three run rally by the Bulldogs was matched when the Hawks held on for a team that might not have accomplished a game like this in previous seasons.

“Things looked bleak,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant mused. “I don’t know what a come from behind win will do for this club, but last year’s team would not of won this game.

Corey Shedrock who had been injured the past couple of weeks had a pinch hit in that last inning and that was just what the doctored ordered.

That hit was a result of a perfect bunt single on what was set up to be a sacrifice bunt to advance the two runners. This bunt saved an important out and helped lead to the late heroics.

Brady also added a triple to his walk off single resume and has been on a good hitting streak the past few games.

Canyon Lake Baseball team rebounded with two wins in the Llano Tournament last Saturday.

The two wins were a welcome relief after losing their first two games of this tourney.

The Hawks beat Austin St. Michaels for the first time since starting the program, 5-4.

Travis Walker had a strong six innings of work before giving up the mound for Austin Headricks to help end the inning.

Kyler Huff ended up pitching the final inning and getting the win.

Michael Brady continues to have a high on base percentage as he finished with one hit and three walks.

Peyton Sipila and Daniel Camarillo both finished with two hits in this contest.
