The Lady Hawks had a win and loss in action at the Lampasas Tournament Friday.

CL had their seven game winning streak halted in the first game against Lorena, 37-22.

Canyon Lake did not score in double digits in any quarter and seemed to be still asleep in the morning game.

“We played lazy and unenthusiastic,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said.

None of the CL players made it to double digit scoring in the contest as the team could only score nine points in the second half.

Canyon Lake righted their ship in the next game when they beat Austin Crockett, 52-41.

The Hawks had nine players score in this game and Katie Williams pitched in with a double-double. It was her fifth double-double this season for Williams.

Williams finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

“We bounced back and took the lead early and never let them (Crockett) get close,” Coach Gallager said. “Katie had a great game in the second game. I spoke with her prior to the game and challenged her to do better and she did.”

Amber Ramsey had a pair of eights in points and rebounds.

Canyon Lake will play Lampasas Saturday morning with the tip off at 9:30am.

The Canyon Lake Hawks had costly free throws in their loss to New Braunfels Christian Wildcats in their final game of this year losing, 55-49.

The Hawks barely outscored their second quarter in the second half as they went cold again during that time span.

“Being able to know how to score when we need to score is what we need to work on,” Coach Lucas Chapman exclaimed. “They (NB Christian) got us out of what we wanted to do.”

Canyon Lake was just three for 12 from the stripe in that second half and each miss would of either extended their lead or drawn the game closer during some very crucial segments of the game.

Andrew Riali had a spurt of three points in that second quarter giving your Hawks the lead going into halftime.

The Wildcats and Hawks were swashbuckling during the last minutes of the second quarter. Riali had nine points during a two minute stretch that helped give Canyon Lake a 30-27 lead at intermission.

Canyon Lake found themselves at the North Pole on Tuesday night in their games with La Vernia Bears.

In fact, La Vernia could change their mascot name to Polar Bears based on how cold the shooting was for how the Hawks played in their games at Hawk Gym.

The Freshman team was ‘As Cold as Ice’…sung by Foreigner several years ago scoring just two points in their first quarter and with seven total points by halftime.

The Junior Varsity did not do much better, finishing with 27 points in their game, just one more point scored by their Freshman counterparts.

Canyon Lake’s Varsity team fared a little better, but missed lay ups during the fourth quarter that doomed a game that had just 13 points in their two middle quarters.

The Varsity Hawks did speed the game up with a press during the fourth quarter,  that did lead to several chances of closing the gap, but their end result was no different than two other games that had teams with Hawks spelled across their jerseys.

Missed shots and opportunities were in abundance on this night. Canyon Lake’s final stats was dismal when combining all three teams:

Team            FG Percentages    Three Point Goals     Free Throws
Freshman        10-46   21.7%     0-5   00.0%            6-22   27.3%

The ReSporter saw some Polar Bears in route to the Hawk gym after leaving.

Global Warming has been confirmed a hoax the Ice Age is another matter however.

Canyon Lake had a statement game in a win over Navarro, 60-47 in the Randolph Tournament.

The Hawks have not won a district game in the past two years and even though this win does not count in District 27-3A play, it sure will play in the minds of a team that has been in the desert for way too long.

“We did a good job after breaking the press,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “We started getting good shots especially in the fourth when we only had two turnovers.”

CL started out lukewarm and then regressed to ice cold in this contest as the Hawks went into halftime trailing, 23-17 after a five point second quarter.

Canyon Lake went over six minutes counting the end of the first quarter before a free throw finally stopped a Navarro 13 point run. Caleb Kreiger had the only basket in this quarter with the Hawks going cold shooting 9%….ouch!!

During the second half, better than 50% from the floor had a different result on the scoreboard as CL reversed the game in their favor.

The Hawks made their statement starting the fourth quarter when they had a 12 point run and a lead for the remainder of this contest.

Andrew Riali had that feel again with an eight point barrage in a 1:12 seconds span in this quarter.

“I was feeling it,” Riali said warmly. “We started cold in the first half and the second half we got it going. You can’t make it if you don’t shoot it.”

Canyon Lake Boy’s Basketball won their first two games in the Randolph Tournament on Friday and will finish Saturday with games against Navarro (11am) and Randolph (2pm).

This Hawk team is now 8-6 this season after starting 0-4 a few weeks ago. That would equate to winning eight of their last 10 games.

CL’s game with Nixon-Smiley had 11 different players register a point as the Hawks coasted to a 31 point win.

In their second game, Canyon Lake won, 63-52 over SA Lutheran who had beaten Randolph earlier in this tournament.

Caleb Kreiger (21), Doug Hubnik (14) , and Andrew Rial (10) all finished in double figures scoring.

Chase Higgins was the lone Warrior to finish with double figure scoring hanging 21 points for BCS on the scoreboard.

Other notable players had Coy Zunker with his on ‘catlike’ quickness and five steals whie Jon Wright corralled nine rebounds for Bracken.

Bracken Christian Lady Warriors beat New Braunfels Christian, 14-7 in the second quarter, but lost the game last Friday night at the Warriors gym.

The Warriors (4-5) were basically out played by one Wildcat that went wild scoring over 50 points in this contest.

BCS did close the gap in the second quarter to seven points, 17-23 as this scrappy group of Lady Warriors outscored New Braunfels with 12 unanswered points helping to close the gap.

The Wildcats then got wild for the remainder of this game outscoring BCS, 39-14 in the second half.

Lorena Martinez finished in double figures with 11 points and Micaela Michael controlled the boards finishing with 11 and one block.

A repeat of that second quarter for the game and BCS will put a scare or win against any team.

Canyon Lake Varsity has made up their four game losing streak to start this season when they went on the road to Comfort and won a hard fought battle, 46-42.

While, the Junior Varsity and Freshman, able to come away with a victories after being without a game for a week.

Getting cobwebs cleared was good for this impressive group of players.

The Freshman took no prisoners in their contest while enjoying a runaway win by 27 points.

“We started the game by playing at a much higher tempo and moved the ball around better than any game this year,” Freshman Coach John Barthels said. “We have been focusing our practices on defense and moving the ball around…making good passes and we were able to do both tonight.”

Ten different players had a ball go through the hoop in this game.

“Finding open players allows more of our kids to get involved and gives us more options in our offense,” Coach Barthels ended.

“It was good to win a close game,” JV Coach Brian Hooper said. “Comfort did a good job defending our offense. We stepped up our press and were able to cause turnovers for easy baskets.”

Coach Hooper will not allow this team to rest on laurels as he closed, “We need to work on finishing around the rim and eliminating turnovers.”

Canyon Lake Varsity has now won six of their last eight games with both losses coming from Randolph, who will also be hosting CL in this weekends tournament.

 Hawks   @    Pleasanton           This Friday

CL will have a chance again to get a seven game winning streak which has not been accomplished yet at Hawkville.

This six game streak has been reached two other times with this year’s team and the standard for all future teams at CL with the 2009-10 squad.

That Hawk team reached the playoffs and that goal has not been reached since.

Another milestone was reached in last night’s game.

Senior Katie Williams will now be raising the scoring bar for the remainder of this season as her 14 points put her on top of the heap in CL scoring, passing Tiffany Tschoepe.
