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
 2nd   Singleton          34'7.5        Fredericksburg    8
 3rd   Trena Lorett       33'5          Hawks             6
 4th   Mariah Ells        33'4          Hawks             4
 5th   Shapiro            32'7          Wimberley         2
 6th   Bailey Drum        32'6          Hawks             1
 7th   Halley McKnight    32'4          Hawks

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…)

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.

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.

Lady Hawks Soccer clinched a spot for the post season with a 6-0 wipeout over Seguin on Friday night.

Christina Fowler was a scoring machine with five of the Canyon Lakes points. Lauren Justis had the other score on this record night.

Now CL has a chance of finishing third with a victory over Wimberley to end their regular season later this month.

It has been almost two years since a CL team has had a chance to order Playoff T-Shirts and now the toughest job might be trying to find the number for that T-Shirt company.

Assists for Canyon Lake were Kaitlin Wier, Michelle Panek, Morgan Boles-Crumrine.

Goalkeeper Wynne Clark had four saves in the shut-out and now the Hawks will work on their game as they prepare for another season—Post Season.

Congrats….now finish the season strong Hawks!!

Canyon Lake Girls Track has several hurdles to clear this year in their meets.

Track and Field is one sport that a team is not limited on the number of participants that can participate. Well kinda….

Baseball you play with 9
Football you play with 11
Basketball you play with 5…

You get the idea, this sport can be dominated by teams with the most athletes many times.

Points are scored through a sixth place finisher and many times a team that will run away with a team award will be that school with many finishers that finish in that 4-6 place slot.

Look at Fredericksburg Track team and you will see many athletes scoring points which adds up.

Canyon Lake Boy’s team last year finished a distant second to Fredericksburg even though the Hawks had top finishers in several events and relays. However, where CL had one finisher, Fredericksburg would have two or more.

Canyon Lake Boys Track team finished a very impressive 5th place in the Don Shelton Relays on Thursday, March 7th.

The Hawks were in competition with much larger schools and held their own in amassing 69 points in this meet. There were only three points separating four schools which comprised of Canyon Lake.

Jordan Anderson was the top point athlete for the Hawks with two first place finishes in the 100 and 400 meter runs. Anderson also finished 2nd in the High Jump and ran the anchor leg of the 4×100 relay that also finished in second.

Anderson’s point tallied 32 points for the Hawks.

Christian Dittman had a CL best and finished first in the Pole Vault with a jump of 13’6.

Canyon Lake Softball team split their two games yesterday in the Marion Tournament, winning against Pearsall but lost in their game with Incarnate Word.

Briana Young went two for two with a double to lead CL in the game with Pearsall as this young lady continues to produce from the plate.

Robinson pitched both games but finally ran out of gas in their game with Incarnate Word after the fifth inning with the score tied at 0-0.

Kelsey Ahrens did have two hits in this loss while Alexis Robinson had nine strikeouts and four walks.

“It was scoreless through five innings, but Robinson just got tired,” Head Coach John Gallagher commented. “But we played a good game.”

Winning a one run affair and showing up well in their loss to Incarnate Word will instill confidence in this young club as District 27-3A play will begin after Spring Break week.

The Hawks will continue their Tournament as long as the inclement weather will cooperate.

CL plays nothing but ‘Ds’ on their schedule to end the Marion Tournament…with Devine at 2pm, DeHarris at 6pm and finishing with Dilley at 8pm.

Good Luck Girls!
