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.”

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.

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.

Canyon Lake came up short again against Randolph in another Championship game, this time losing, 32-30.

Last week, CL lost by 16 at the Marion Tourney and so if you are into moral victories, then this was one you can hang your hat on.

“Our defense was real good,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “We need to find ways to score and find ways to win.”

For five minutes starting their end of the third quarter, the Hawks could not buy a basket.

Canyon Lake had just one field goal with 30 seconds left in the third quarter till the end of this contest.

The chances of only losing by two points will give you an idea of how much, other parts, of CL’s game is clicking, especially on the defensive side of their game.

Some of that intensity was lost when Isaac Pruna went down with an ankle sprain in that second half.

The Hawks had a chance after forcing a turnover with four seconds left in regulation, but a Andrew Riali three pointer was short of the mark.

Canyon Lake will now travel to Comfort next Tuesday and then another chance to meet Randolph in their tournament next weekend.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won their first Basketball Tournament in front of their home crowd, beating Blanco Panthers, 30-28.

The Hawks jumped out to a six point lead to start this game holding Blanco scoreless with a little over two minutes to play in the first quarter.

CL was ahead up until only 43 seconds were left in the first half.

Blanco would extend that lead to five points to start the second half and then the Twin Towers took this game over.

Amber Ramsey and Katie Williams would be instrumental for the Hawks as they dominated offensively  scoring every point in the second half.

Blanco was able to keep the lead up until Ramsey found Williams inside the free throw line, where Williams would score giving the Hawks their first lead since the second quarter.
