Canyon Lake traveled to Blanco and ran out of gas before reaching the field, losing

Centerfielder Mary Caroline Jordan

to the Panthers, 7-5.

The Hawks finally figured out the Panther’s pitcher, but the four run seventh inning ended with a base running error squelching a chance for the comeback.

“We’re a young and learning team,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “This is on the job training.”

Before the last inning, CL was only able to scratch out three hits while scoring one run. The run came in the fourth inning and brought the game to within one run for a tie.

Canyon Lake started the 2012 campaign on the road, Tuesday against Marble Falls in a

Junior Daniel Camarillo

hard fought loss, 9-5.

The Hawks are a very young team again this season and look to improve as the younger players get more innings under their belt.

The top of the batting order had an impressive on base percentage of .750 for the game which bodes well for having opportunities to score runs.

Daniel Camarillo carved out three hits while knocking in two runs as he continued his hot steak that started last year.

Travis Walker starts his third campaign for the Hawks with two hits and two RBIs against the Mustangs.

Carl Cook celebrating Senior Night with Mom

Canyon Lake finished another disappointing season as the Hawks said good-bye to nine of the 12 players on this years edition after posting a hard fought loss to district champion Boerne Greyhounds.

The Hawks were ahead with five minutes left in the second quarter, 17-16, but that lead was lost after a Greyhound 9-0 run and an eight point halftime lead.

Boerne finished district with an unblemished record and Canyon Lake would need to have an overall perfect game to complete the upset bid.

“I’m very proud of the boy’s,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard started. “They could of gone out and choked it up and they didn’t.”

“This is the first team that left an impression with their defense and that focus helped the younger players in our program.”

Vicki Henderson throws out Bulldog

Canyon Lake started a new campaign in good shape as they whitewashed the Marion Bulldogs, 10-0 last Tuesday night at the Hawk Softball Field.

The top of the batting order was lethal as the Hawks had the first four batters reach base which resulted in a 60 pitch inning for Skylar Sullivan and six runs for Canyon Lake.

Mary Caroline Jordan started the frame with a single followed by a walk for McKenna Beseda. Missy Romero would not succumb to Sullivan as she worked the pitcher for 10 pitches and a walk to load the bases.

“I was very intense and wanted to win,” Centerfielder Jordan exclaimed. “I really liked being at the top of the lineup.”

The Bracken Warriors spotted State Ranked Austin Waldorf to 18 points to start the game before playing even steven the next three quarters.

“Tonight we played with the level of intensity we are capable of playing,” Head Coach James Johnson started.
It is a maturity thing and we had to prove it to ourselves.”

“When we have been beaten so much this season the guys (team) had a ‘we can do this’ after playing a solid second quarter.”

BCS decided to start playing with two seconds left in the first quarter as Conner Higgins sank a baseline floater to start the scoring.

“Coach (James Johnson) wanted to run a pick and row in the second half,” Senior Higgins said. “This year was a lot of fun and we thought we had a chance to make the playoffs.”

Junior Jasmine Smith gets her kicks in.

The Lady Hawks (5-2-2) took care of business in beating Floresville (8-3-1) at Hawk Stadium last Friday night as all the points scored came in the first half of play.

Canyon Lake had four starters out with injuries while many of other players were banged up. That is what made this MASH unit even more remarkable.

Head Coach Jeffrey Vaughn looked like a champion puzzle player as he fit the pieces around to come out with a well deserved win over a Floresville Jaguar club.

Moving the Freshman Goal Keeper to a starter, the Senior Goal Keeper to Defender, the Midfielder/Defender to Sweeper, you get the idea. The Hawks were playing positions that were not normal for this young but resilient team.

Amber Ramsey taking control of the Paint

It was Senior night for the Lady Hawks, but the results left more than just the parents crying in the loss to Wimberley, 56-47.

Canyon Lake started the pre/season with an idea of play the games with as much effort as possible and make the games respectable.

After starting district play with two losses, with what turned out to be the two district front runners, this team had other thoughts about how they might be able to push the envelope.

Amber West, Emily Moore, and Caitlin Gillum had a pretty impressive line score for their last home game for Canyon Lake.

Shots   Free Throws    Reb.   Assists    Steals    Blocks   Points
7/14      12-23        10          3       4          1        26

The Hawks needed a win to keep their chance for a playoff game to be a reality. Canyon Lake had a 46-45 lead with three minutes left in the fourth quarter.

During that time of the quarter, the Hawks had already lost two players to fouls and then another three other  players were escorted off the court carrying five fouls.

Canyon Lake Boys Basketball continued on its spiral through District 26-3A, after spotting Wimberley 17 points through the first three quarters and running out of gas losing, 64-55.

Two of the last three games, the Hawks have scored over 25 points in the fourth quarter and both time have resulted in the same outcome, a loss.

The Tuesday night game did have Canyon Lake close enough for a one possession game, but never could get to the top of the mountain.

Matt Magness started the fourth quarter with a five point spurt and after two made free throws from Brandon Belcher, the Hawks were down only 11 points with over six minutes left in the game.

Magness brought the home team within single digits, 51-43 a minute later and Wimberley Coach could be seen checking for a towel to wipe sweat off his brow.

Canyon Lake JV took the game over from the opening tip, winning the first three quarters cruising to a 45-21 lead and coasted to another win at Hawk Gymnasium last Friday night.

The Hawks scored 24 points from the bench and never let SA Hawkins get control of the game.

Luke Curry took the game over in the fourth quarter during a mini run from Hawkins. Curry scored eight of the nine points CL scored in the fourth quarter, after the Wolf Pack closed the game after a 12 point run that closed the gap to, 45-33.

“I felt ‘it’ during the warm-ups,” Guard Curry said. “I had been training and could not hit the side of a barn…but I kept my intensity up and came out with 110% off the bench.”
