Canyon Lake continues their cold front as the Blanco Panthers go on a 20-0 run from the second to third quarter and coast to a win, 45-32.

The Hawks are searching for answers as their shots have gone cold for their last five games all losses.

“The way we finished was certainly a positive,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman opened. “We continued to compete.”

Confidence is not overflowing and the Hawks do have some impressive wins on their resume, they just need to revive those games and get back on that saddle.

Next game is this coming Monday at Gonzales and then District 27-3A starts the following Friday when Wimberley will visit.

Canyon Lake continues their cold streak that started at the end of their semester as the Lampasas Badgers make SnowHawks in, 63-29 win.

What was once a three game cushion (9-6) has now become a one game deficit (9-10) as this Hawk team will try to stop their skid this coming Friday when CL tips off against Blanco at Blanco High School.

It took four minutes before CL could sink a basket and the Hawks did not even get a shot off in the first three minutes of this contest.

If this would of been a Ski Slalom event, then not only was Canyon Lake playing in shorts (Cold…burrrr), but also going down the hill very fast. (Black Slope fast)

It took a Spencer Wellings three point bank shot as the first half horn sounded before your Hawks would break into double figures.

“We haven’t played a game in a week and a half,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “I used the whole bench trying to get our kids enough reps.”

Lampasas was a very athletic team that had played four games in a tournament after Christmas, but excuses will not lower the hurdle that is next on Canyon Lake’s schedule as District 27-3A looms in the very near future.

Layer your clothes when you ski and wear some long johns in this next game and hopefully this contest will start out much warmer with a better outcome.

Canyon Lake Girl’s Basketball finished their Lampasas tournament with two losses on Saturday as they now look forward to District 27-3A action.

The Hawks went back to some troubling habits in those losses with that main habit coming in the form of turnovers.

CL had 25 and 32 turnovers with those two losses which turned out to be almost a larger number than points scored in those two contests.

Having enough able bodies was also a downfall for Canyon Lake as Hannah St. John was out with an injury giving the Hawks only eight players to finish out their last two games.

Taking care of the ball will have to be a major item needed to be rectified going into district play while also using this next off week getting more players healthy.

Saturday’s opponents gave Canyon Lake an idea of what type of teams they have coming up on their schedule.

Navarro and Boerne will certainly emulate those games with athletes that can pressure and get easy baskets.

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%
Junior Varsity   8-36   22.2%     1-7   14.3%           10-20   50.0%
Varsity         15-47   31.9%     4-13  30.8%            7-13   53.8%
Combined        33-129  25.6%     5-25  20.0%           23-55   41.8%

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.

The ReSporter will have full write-ups after this tournament concludes today.

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.
