Canyon Lake will have to rely on some help in their next game in order to have a

Senior Mary Caroline Jordan

chance for the playoffs.

The Hawks lost to Fredericksburg, 4-0 Tuesday and now have a Must Win against Navarro this Friday.

Not only will the game be a must win, but Wimberley will be in a must lose to give your Hawks a chance.

Wimberley will be playing at Bandera which is the good news, since Bandera is in first place and will be playing the Texans on their home turf.

So: Hawks need a win and Wimberley needs a loss.

Canyon Lake was held to just two hits, both off the bat of SS Vicky Henderson.

The Hawks could only scratch two runs across the plate as Canyon Lake will try to

Junior Michael Brady

get back on the winning track next week, after losing to Fredericksburg, 7-2 last Friday night at the Hawk diamond.

“We are trying to get across to the team that these games we are working to make a run,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “We have players playing out of position and we are needing to eliminate our errors and improve our mental game.”

You have heard the story before, but with one Senior on the team, Canyon Lake keeps learning on the fly and the remembrance of the second year of competition.

“We got to know we can’t quit,” Junior Logan Felch said. “We love the game and we have to keep playing it right and going to reward us.”

“I notice more experience and in the long run it is going to help us,” as Felch commented on the youth of this team.

Canyon Lake Varsity would be a Junior Varsity on other teams and that is what has to be hard on fans and Coaches alike.

The Hawks will be sending girls that represent five events to the Region !V Meet in

Marisa Ellis Jumping to Corpus

Corpus in two weeks.

Marisa Ellis increased her best Triple Jump of the season when she skied for 36’10 and beat her closest competitor by nine inches.

Marisa Ellis now has the second best Triple Jump in Region IV while trailing an athlete from District 30 by seven inches.

The tracksters need to finish in the top two in order to get their ticket punched for Austin for the State Meet in May.

Another event the Hawks have a chance of advancing in is the Mile Relay.

The Hawks ran the event in 4:11.41 and missed their season best by .26 of a second.

weeks as the Hawks finished in second place for the last two years.

The top two finishers get another chance to reach Austin for State Track Meet in May.

Jordan Anderson was high point for the Meet with 48 points, missing a first place in the Long Jump by 0.25 of an inch.

The 48 points beat Bandera’s entire team and was only 21 points off of beating Wimberley.

Anderson will now be in the ‘running’ with five events in the Regional meet with a chance of finishing second or better in any event which would give him another week of competing in Austin.

Canyon Lake was also able to send all three Relay Teams to the next level as the usually strong Mile Relay team having to huff and puff to finish third to run for another day.

Canyon Lake continued their week of comebacks by beating Wimberley, 3-2 last

McKenna Beseda

Friday night on Senior Night.

The Hawks beat another team that was over them in district play in a must win scenario and puts CL in a position to forge into the playoffs for the second year in a row.

District 26-3A has a crowded field atop the standings as four of the six teams find themselves with just one game of separation.

Canyon Lake drew first blood when McKenna Beseda reached base on an error and then completed the play when Wimberley’s short stop could not hold onto the ball as Beseda slid into second base.

After McKenna completed her tear on the base baths stealing third base, Senior Missy Romero scored Beseda on a sacrifice fly.

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.
