Canyon Lake has a four game winning streak after an ugly win over Lago Vista

Vikings after their 1-day delayed affair at the Hawk Diamond.

The game that was scheduled for Monday night was postponed by wind and CL continued this season by settling in on a four game win streak which has not happened since, since, well it has never happened.

This is now the longest streak of this sort since two three game winning streaks during their 2010 season. A season that was climaxed with a trip to Harlingen and one batter short of a third round opponent.

“We need to work on our mental toughness and we’ve got to focus,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. ”

The Vikings opened up their first inning with a towering home run by Mason Ornales who would also finish off this game with another shot over that same left field fence in the seventh inning.

Both home runs were solo shots, but good hits all the same.

The Hawks responded in their bottom of the first when lead off hitter Garrett Winters walked and eventually scored when Logan Felch knocked him in two batters later.

Travis Walker reached base on an error and then with two runner on Michael Brady broke out of a mini slump with a double scoring both runners. Brady would end with two hits.

Hitting machine, Kyler Huff then did likewise with a double scoring the fourth run knocking in Brady.

Huff has been on a tear this season from the plate and does not seem to be letting up.

Thanks to Head Coach Greg Norris for story:

The Canyon Lake boys golf team battled the winds and tough golf course at Vaaler Creek in Blanco on Tuesday to shoot 382 placing 4th in the 18 team event.

With winds gusting over 50 miles an hour at times it made the conditions exceptionally brutal.

New Braunfels Canyon placed first at 370, Wimberley shot a 372 and New Braunfels was third with 379.

On a day where pars were very few and far between the day was one of survival.

One of those players that survived these conditions was the Hawk’s Sophomore Garrett Winters who shot 84 which put him on the leaderboard in 2nd place. Marion’s Robert Giesecke shot 83 to lead the field.

Winters scorecard included 1 birdie and 7 pars over the par 72 layout.

JJ Herrera finished with a 95, which included a birdie on number 1 and 2 pars. Senior Ralph Gonzales shot 96 which included one par. Andrew Riali rounded out the scoring for the Hawks with a 106.

Skyler Tschoepe had to withdraw after 10 holes after sensing pain in the shoulder.

The Hawks will return to action next Wednesday when they will travel to Quicksand GC in Wimberley.

Canyon Lake has now reached last year’s win total as the Hawks took care of the little things to win big over Austin Lanier Vikings, 7-3.

“Glad we got to three wins,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant dead panned. “Let’s don’t shut down main street for a parade just yet.”

Baseball is won more by doing little things within a game and when a team is successful in that execution, then a win will usually be a result.

“If you don’t hit the ball then your opponent can’t have fielding errors,” Coach Dunavant said eloquently. “We need to get on a roll to get things right and just win.”

Little things like hitting a ball and giving yourself a chance to have your opponent make a mistake. Lanier finished with seven errors in this game.

The Lanier Vikings did have some fielding problems and CL did what good teams are suppose to do when given gifts.

Open them!!

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity took care of Wimberley in their first District 27-3A game giving the Texans a long ride home, winning 6-4.

After a rough start in that first inning, Canyon Lake’s defense buckled down and did not commit another misplay allowing their bats to come alive and their pitchers finish off our neighbors to the north.

William Volz started the first inning having to adjust after some defensive miscues but that learning process is what will pay dividends as this season matures.

“I started pretty good,” Pitcher Volz said. “It kind of makes me think on what I need to work on…I was a little frustrated but then I just let it go and then tried my hardest.”

Volz was commenting on how he approached those first couple of innings while only having a texas leaguer as the biggest hit and no other ball scared the grass in the outfield.

Canyon Lake continues strong run in Lockhart Tournament with another run rule win over Austin Travis, 12-0.

Pitcher Ryan Hutcheson was well in command in this affair without allowing a hit in his four innings of work.

Kyler Huff is on a good hitting pace so far this season as he ripped a triple in this game while driving in two runs.

Canyon Lake started this game on fire scoring five runs and ended up scoring in each inning as the Hawks are over the .500 mark for the first time in three years.

In baseball you need Pitching, Batting, and Fielding and in all three the Hawks got a passing grade.

Ten hits, no errors and a shut out will do wonders for your win-loss column.

Now Canyon Lake will play again in Lockhart at noontime and see about running their streak up to three games.

Wow…there are a lot of threes in this article. Congrats!

His round included birdies on 5 and 13 to go along with 8 pars. Ralph Gonzales had his best finish of the season shooting 82 for the round. His scorecard tallied 9 pars including 7 in a row to finish his last 7 holes.

JJ Herrera showed great improvement by posting an 86 which included a birdie on number 1 to go along with 7 pars. Garrett Winters posted birdie on number 13 and added 2 pars for an 89.

The Hawks will try to continue their winning ways from this Panther Invitational on Monday, Feb 25 when they travel to Vaaler Creek in Blanco to take part in the Blanco Panther Invitational. Tee time is 9:00 AM.

Story by Head Coach Greg Norris.

Canyon Lake won their first game in the Lockhart Tournament on Thursday against

Austin Del Valle, 10-1.

“In other seasons we might have played down to our competition,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant started. “We played a crisp game and I was very pleased on how the players took care of business.”

An onslaught of six runs in the second inning put this game away early and also allowed Sophomore Cody Powell to throw strikes and let the Hawks play defense. Powell averaged a little over 12 pitches per inning.

“We wanted Powell to be in the 15 pitches are lower per inning,” Coach Dunavant said.

Defense came without any errors while CL benefitted from three errors by Del Valle.

Kyler Huff finished the day with three hits, three runs, two rbi’s, and one double.

Daniel Reed and Michael Brady also had doubles in this game.

With a three run 5th inning, the Hawks were able to run rule Del Valle which allowed Powell to go the distance.

That meant Canyon Lake could rest pitchers which will always a good thing for you first tournament of the season.

Now Canyon Lake will play again on Friday, with an early 10am start time. Austin Travis will be in that other dugout, then CL’s final game is Saturday against Austin Lanier with another game before lunch, 11:30 start time.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won a pivotal game Tuesday night against Seguin, 4-0 in what could be a landmark contest as this season continues.

To recap this district season, all you need to know is that Canyon Lake needs to beat one team to get them into a playoff spot.

Right now Seguin might be that odd team out which could usher your Hawks into a good situation and another ‘can win’ game with Wimberley might even secure that spot.

“We came out strong,” Head Coach Katie McWhorter started. “We scored our first goal within the first minute of the game.”

Whatever butterflies that might been around was soon a thing of the past as CL took that opportunity to play on the offensive side of the field for much of this night.

Sophomore Christy Fowler had her second hat trick of this season coming through and leading the way for her teammates.

Bracken Christian had battled and won four games in a row in making the playoffs this year, but

they found a match-up that this Warrior team could not stay with for four quarters.

After that first quarter, BCS had a decent result only trailing three points. The Warriors had a lead with a little over two minutes in that quarter until the lid was placed on the rim.

That result had Central Texas Christian scoring 13 unanswered points and forging into a lead that was never relinquished.

BCS had Senior Post Wendy Johnson with 7 of those 9 points in that quarter, while dominating the paint with two blocks.

On a couple of those baskets, Johnson was an easy target displayed by her height on the inbound pass under the Warriors basket.

That play was worth some valuable points getting BCS back into a lead and stopping the Lions momentum. Johnson finished as the only Warrior with double digits, scoring 11 points.

“They (Coaches) picked me because I’m the tallest,” Johnson said.
