Canyon Lake will get another crack at Randolf as these two schools will meet for the second consecutive week as foes fighting for a Tournament Championship.

The Hawks punched their ticket for this rematch when they held on for a, 48-47 victory over Somerset Bulldogs in a nightcap on the first day of the Canyon Lake Classic.

This game had 15 lead changes, as each team traded punches all night long trying to get an advantage.

Somerset’s largest lead was only two points and CL had a seven point lead in their second quarter, 18-11.

Senior Caleb Kreiger had no problem establishing the inside as he hit at a 82% rate from the field through the first half scoring 20 points.

The second half, Somerset put a couple of Bulldogs on Kreiger forcing the Hawks to get more players involved.

“I had a size advantage,” Kreiger started. “We were beating their press, but then in the second half they put more players on me and I had to find other players.”

Canyon Lake started the fourth quarter with a one point lead, when Kreiger hit his first shot stretching that lead to three, 41-38.

Somerset would answer with five straight points, seizing the lead again, 43-41.

Paul Davis took his next rebound and went coast to coast for a tying score at the five minute mark.

A couple of minutes of blank shooting by both clubs, put this game in pressure mode when the Bulldogs broke the tie with under three minutes in regulation, 45-43.

Canyon Lake Boy’s won their first CL Tournament game in front of a pack house against Floresville JV, 42-32.

The Hawks withstood a cold spell while the Tigers closed the gap to three points late in the third quarter.

During this cold spell, Floresville scored 11 straight points to cut a 29-15 lead down to 29-26.

Even thought the Hawk Gym was packed with students on this Friday afternoon, only a fraction realized that their was a basketball game going on.

CL responded with or without the crowd and increased their lead back to a final 10 point win.

Doug Hubnik was high point with nine points while being joined in the scoring book with six other Hawks.

“Our shot selection has to be better,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We drive into traffic and then put up a tougher shot, than if we just ran our offense a couple more times through to get a more open chance.”

Canyon Lake will face Somerset on Friday night for a chance to play for a championship on Saturday.

Canyon Lake beat Stacey Eagles for the second time this season during their second game of the round robin tournament, 45-17.

Now the Hawks will take on Blanco this Saturday at 9am, as both teams will be playing for first place after winning both games this Thursday.

Canyon Lake had many players in this game and was finding it hard to keep pressure on the Eagles.

Amber Ramsey had her second double-double on the day with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Olivia Flores was another Hawk that finished with double figures finishing with 12 points.

Ramsey pitched a tent underneath as she dominated the much smaller opponent for the second time this year.

Canyon Lake will have their work cut out for them against Blanco, as their unblemished home record will be tested.

“We were sloppy today,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We are going to work on our intensity and try to get it back, matching Blanco’s level of intensity will be our main goal.”

Canyon Lake (9-2) won their first game in the round robin tournament in the Hawk Gym this Thursday morning, 39-29.

Hustle defense was evident throughout the contest as Lytle Pirates were held on the plank for most of this game.

The Hawks had most of their 29 turnovers in the middle two quarters, which happened to be the two quarters that CL did not outscore Lytle.

Katie Williams and Amber Ramsey both finished the game with double-doubles.

Ramsey had nine of her 15 rebounds in the final quarter and finished with 10 points, while Williams had 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Williams’ 18 points moved her up into a tie with Ashley Pfaff in scoring with both now holding at 493 career points.

Pfaff was a key player three years ago during CL’s push into their playoff run. Pfaff played just one season giving you an idea of her worth that season. Lytle was the team that CL played in that playoff game.

Tiffany Tschoepe is next holding onto number one in scoring with 515 points, Williams should be able to pass that mark during the next two games.

Dulce Brown finished with a good all around game with four assists and steals in the game.

In CL’s best two quarters without turnovers, the Hawks outscored Lytle by 14 points.

Canyon Lake flew away from the Lockhart Lions, 55-43 last Tuesday night in Lockhart and has now won three of their last four games.

Caleb Kreiger was the difference in this contest as he poured in 35 points, which is a new record for points in one game.

“Caleb played a great game,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “He played within himself and didn’t force too much. He took what they gave him and played to his strengths.”

“He (Caleb) was in attack mode, which is better than him standing outside and shooting threes. I think he did a good job of getting into our offense, and when we do that, Caleb can get some good looks.”

Chapman finished, “The thing I like most about Caleb is the first thing he talked about after the game was getting better on defense. That just shows you the type of kid he is and he is always looking to get better.”

Other contributors were Paul Davis who also made double digit points with 11, while Doug Hubnik finished with 10 assists.

Canyon Lake Freshman Girls continue an unblemished year after coming from behind to win over Lampasas last Tuesday night at Hawk Gymnasium, 30-29.

The Hawks battled being down as much as 11 points going into halftime.

CL scored four points in the second quarter quicky but then a lid was put on their basket and that was all they could get for that quarter.

In the third quarter, CL continued their cold shooting. In fact, the Hawks only had nine points through the middle two quarters, which allowed the Badgers to seem invincible, holding a 25-15 advantage scurrying into the final stanza.

Starting that final quarter, Canyon Lake staged a quarter that you could only dream about: fifteen points, which happened to be the Hawks total for the first three quarters. Impressive, to say the least.

Canyon Lake Girls won their second overtime game this year when they beat the Lampasas Badgers, 37-35, last Tuesday night at Hawk Gym.

It took the Hawks over four minutes to start the game, before Kelly Long sank one of her two free throws to finally have points on the scoreboard.

After that free throw, Olivia Flores extended the line past the arc and proceeded to make her four three point shots over the next three quarters without a miss.

Those 12 points were half of all CL’s points through the first three quarters and helped keep your Hawks in this game and even helped craft a lead through those middle stanzas.

Flores first missed shot was in the fourth quarter, but it was her lay up later that quarter that tied the game with only 43 seconds left in regulation.

“I had it going left handed and then I was so disappointed when I thought it was coming back out,” Flores said. “Then I saw it go back in and my prayer life had just gotten better.”

Canyon Lake was down, 33-29 with a 1:10 to go, when Hannah St. John made her first shot of the game. That pulled the Hawks to within two and waiting for Flores last heroics in regulation.

Canyon Lake Boy’s Freshman team also played in the Wimberley Tournament this past week-end and below you will have a couple of games results.

Both games were played on Saturday and CL lost in their first game against Texas School for the Deaf, 53-37.

Some of the players were commenting on how quiet the game actually turned out to be. When their opponent did not talk, neither did the Hawks.

Communicating is important in any sport and The ReSporter is sure that even so their opponent was deaf, you can bet that they were communicating.

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity had a good run, finishing second in the Wimberley Baskeball Tournament this past weekend.

The Hawks won their morning contest against host Wimberley, which gave this never say die team a chance for a first place trophy.

Wimberley had a defense that forced eight turnovers in that first quarter and that allowed your Hawks only six shots at their basket.

Four made free throws helped close the gap for just a three point deficit going into their next quarter of action.

CL would win their next three quarters as the Hawks started taking better control of their possessions.

The third quarter was a telling stanza as Garret Winters was red hot from behind the arc scoring 12 points (all 3 pointers) that gave the separation from our friends to the North.
