Canyon Lake won another big game Monday night as they outlasted First

Senior Missy Romero

Place Bandera at Hawk Field, 4-1.

The win is huge as the teams jockey for playoff position.

Bandera had beaten every district foe in the first round of games and now with a Hawk win, it will allow the girls an extra loss.

If Bandera runs the table from the rest of district play, then the Hawks will benefit by being the only District 26-3a team to beat the Bulldogs.

Missy Romero did the damage from the plate and circle.

“We played with alot of confidence compared to the first meeting,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “Romero kept them off balance all night.”

The Hawks had another big fifth inning as Brittney Schoettle reached base on an error. Mary Jordan then bunted and reached base adding pressure to the visitors. McKenna Beseda was next with a hit to load the bases for Romero.

Romero had a hard single up the middle scoring two and then vintage Beseda scoring on the throw home.

Romero also helped her pitching counterpart with a double and scoring on a Briana Young single.

Holding Bandera to one run and also contributing three rbi’s made the result very sweet for a player that had wanted this team.

You have heard of the old phrase, ‘a walk is better than a hit’, well last Thursday

Centerfielder Mary Caroline Jordan

night in Boerne, the CL Hawks got to practice that adage in a, 10-1 victory over Boerne.

Here are some numbers that show the wildness of the Boerne pitcher.

Sixteen walks, countless wild pitches and passed balls (which accounts for the low number of rbi’s), and four Hawks that were hit by pitches.

Canyon Lake had an on base percentage of .533 as a team and pretty much just needed a leash in order to go ‘Walk’ the dog. (Greyhound)

There were three Hawks that were able to escape the walk on their at bat.

Jordan Anderson takes Track and Field seriously.

Jordan Anderson hanging with Dad as Track Meet draws to a close

The young man runs three sprint and two field events. That can lead to a very tiring day on the cinders, especially when you consider that for District 26-3A Meet being held at Canyon Lake next week, there will be several prelims to whittle down the field to eight sprinters.

Anderson has upped the ante on all his races and field events this season and in so doing has given himself a good chance of getting to the Regional Meet in all five events.

Last season Anderson was not prepared for the newness of running in a meet that had the best athletes from Region 4.

An area that goes from Liberty Hill down to Harlingen.

“Last year I stayed awake till 3am thinking that I would not start until late in the morning,” Anderson sprinted his first answer. “I was hanging with guys that ran the sprints like me, but was not participating in field events. When I found out that I had to be at the track earlier, it gave me only three hours of sleep for the first day.”

Sophomore mistake that will probably not be repeated this year.

“I feel the most confident on the high jump,” Anderson responded on which of the five events he is feeling the best at so far this season.

Canyon Lake now has a two game winning streak over Fredericksburg. Repeat: The

Center Fielder Mary Caroline Jordan

Hawks have beaten the Billies in two consecutive games.

Not impressed? Missy Romero pitched a no-hitter in the win.

Not impressed? Hawks offense batted around in the lineup, scoring six runs in one inning.

Not Impressed? The No-Hitter had six outs via strikeout, but the DEFENSE played an exceptional game in the outfield as well as the infield.

Not Impressed? Don’t know what else to say, except the trinity for softball was clicking with offense, defense, and pitching and this trifecta could not of happened at a better time.
