            Way to Stay in Shape Hawks!

Canyon Lake’s Lady Hawk Tracksters finished with 172 points at the Hawk Relays with Savanna Oberholtzer garnering 39 points to lead The Lake to a first place spot amongst 7 schools.

Oberholtzer finished first in the Long Jump/Triple Jump/100 meter dash and helped the Hawk 4×100 Relay with a first place finish.

The ReSporter does not know at this writing all the participants Canyon Lake used in their relay events so points on this article might not be correct.

Other Lady Hawks who finished in double digit scoring Hannah Hammer (20 pts), Te’a Gonzales (15 pts), Kennedy Grindle (17 pts), Eva Zabarcencu (12 pts), Aubrey Avey (14 pts).

Freshman Te’a Gonzales will be a fun athlete to watch as she finished 3rd 100 meter dash (3rd best Hawk History) and 5th in the long jump. How bout Freshman  Macie Paredez who finished 8th place in the 1600 meter run but her time placed 6th place in Hawk’s All-Time list and 5th place for the 3200 meter run.

     Let’s Go Fast~High~Long~ Hawks!

The Lake had 3 who placed in the Pole Vault which was a first in Hawk history.
(Shana Curter~~Grindle~~Katelyn Lowth)

The 4×100 relay already lowered their time past the 50 second mark as well as individuals like Avey who reached 45.53 seconds which was approximately where she finished her season last year.

Hannah (put the Hammer down) in her distance events as she prepares to finish higher than her 4th place finish at the Region IV Meet a year earlier.

     Canyon Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!

Tessa Jones won her JV 300 meter hurdle event and came home with over 14 points (not counting any relays) and Trinity Jones finished 3rd in two events (400m~high jump) garnering 12 points (not counting relays).

Oberholtzer scored in all 5 of her events she entered and had a Hawk best 12.17 100 meter dash a good 3 tenths of a second better than Alysha Perez back during her 2017 season.

Freshman Harley Hamilton (2:14.03) scored a first place finish in his 800 meter run which put him right outside the Top 10 listing with an 11th place finish.

Senior Luke Jeckell’s first place 400 meter dash (51.59) is good for 4th place on the All-Time Top 10 List in that event.

Finish 2nd in a Two-Day Tourney against several 5A & 6A Schools! Go Lake!

Canyon Lake has a chance to, ‘go where no other Hawk Team has ever gone before’ as this year’s Boys Golf team made a big statement in a two day event that had several larger schools participating.

“Our Varsity Boys Golf completed in the Concan Boys Invitational at Rio Valley Ranch Golf Club over the weekend,” Head Coach Ryan Garney relayed excitedly. “Over the 2 day Tournament the boys finished 2nd overall. Some of the best 6A and 5A schools from around the state competed.”

The five some golfers were Roger Rodriquez, Jacob Tuckness, Tristen Evans, James Cornell, and Trey Rasor.

The Lake were led by Rodriques who finished 7th overall with a score of 73 on Friday ad an 80 on Saturday for a two day score of, 153.

Tuckness finished 10th shooting a 77 & 81 for 158 score….Evans finished 15th with an overall score of 162 (84 first day/78 second day).

                         Way to Go Lake!!

This was a first for The Lake to place at this prestigious tourney….much less placing at the 2nd School Overall.

Consistency is a major ingredient in every sport but golf that consistency is at a premium for a team that has 5 individuals playing as a team.

“Our kids have been up and down all year but this was some of the best golf they’ve played,” Coach Garney birdied. “These were good schools we beat. Normally we get beat pretty bad but this group is playing well.

Lady Hawk’s Junior Varsity finish 2nd at Pieper Tournament! Way to Go Lake!

The Hawk Ladies had a decent outing this past week also, “Our Girls took 2nd place at the Pieper JV Invitational at Rebecca Creek,” Coach Garney glowed. “Our girls were led by Kailey Morgan, Caledonia Beatty, Chayce Standifer, Trinity Turner and Reese Dawley.”

Coach Garney continued, “It was great to get these girls some experience and realize they enjoy playing good. Several of the girls had never played a full 18 hole tournament and it was exciting to see them have so much fun and bring some hardware home. I hope this sparks a desire to get even better.”

Some good happenings as Golf starts to raise The Lake. Just be careful and not let it get too high…a water hole is hard enough.

Way to GO LAKE!!

Aubrey Long pitched a No-No & added a CenterField Homer for extra sauce! Go Lake!

Pitcher Aubrey Long in earlier game this season.

The Canyon Lake Hawk’s Softball started their Blanco Tournament with dominating pitching while combining these two games garnering 23 hits…pretty good balance for an extraordinary evening.

Aubrey Long had a decent night in the circle after pitching a No-Hitter in CL’s first game against Natalia who were not able to get any traction with many of the Hawk faithful getting some nice wind fans from all of the Mustangs missed pitches.

In fact, Long did not reach 3 balls in the count and struck out 10 Mustangs in this dominant outing.

“I had not been given many innings so I really have not had time to build everything,” Long said when asked bout her time in the circle.

‘Hit’ it LONG then commented on her home run, “The umpire came to the circle and said I had 8 minutes unless you can get out of this (inning) quick…so I said I need to hit because I was the first one up  (next in the lineup) and I had been really bad so I was going to step back and wait on it (the pitch) because all of her pitches had been outside and low and I felt like she was going to give me one…and I knew it was gone.”

Gone it was as the center fielder just watched the ball sail over her past the outfield fence. There were reports that the air traffic control in San Antonio had seen a UFO blip on their screen durning that same time.

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & GO LAKE SOFTBALL

Still some pesky Hawk errors but as a whole, on this night, The Lake’s Softball team was in a zone in every facet of this game resulting in two dominating victories.

The Hawks will continue their Blanco Tourney on Friday & Saturday with hopes of spotting more UFO’s (Unbelievable~Fluid~Offense)…

Canyon Lake came out of their chute with some degree of authority by amassing 13 hits (3 doubles) and in that 1st inning leaving the bases loaded. It was a spanking with their only blemish coming in the field with two miscues and leaving the bases loaded with-out a run scored.

The Lake’s Lady Soccer team presently has the longest running playoff streak compared to Blake’s other team sports. These Texan’s are averaging 4 goals per outing which gives an idea of how well this Hawk team is starting to jell.

Hit Man way to get rid of Pests Hawks!

“Our girls are undefeated so far in district and continue to improve each game,” Coach Stracener started.  “We are 8-3-3 on the season and  had a 2^nd place finish in our first tournament of the season.”

Canyon Lake has strung together some impressive outings, “We had a big win against 6A Canyon High School right before we started district and just tied Wimberley who is a top ranked team in 4A soccer in the region,” Stracener blushed. 

“We knew that Wimberley was going to be a tough game as they had just come off of a win against Davenport, one of the top ranked teams in the area.  As far as our game plan, we had 3 things we were focusing on going into the Wimberley game.”

“The girls executed the plan very well.   They did really well with 2 out of the 3.  We struggled on the offensive side of things because Wimberley has a strong defense and put pressure on us much more quickly than any team we’ve seen this year.  I am very pleased with how the girls battled and frustrated Wimberley,” Coach Stracener said realizing that the Texan’s have given up just 5 goals this season out of 15 contests.  “We played great team defense and outworked a very good team.”

Things don’t get any easier as this district is always tough and represents good outings during the post-season.

“We will continue to build on the momentum from the positive outcome from last Friday going into this week where we finish up the first round of district against two more solid teams, Marble Falls Tuesday at home and Friday away at Davenport.” 

Coach Stracener shared bout this year’s offense, “Girls with top offensive stats are Savanna Oberholtzer with 21 goals so far on the season.  Then Rya Clark and Kylee Morrow, 2^nd and 3^rd in goals scored for the team.”

Canyon Lake is still a young outfit and look to raise the bar as this season continues to mature.

“Our 3 seniors on the team, make up 3 out of the 4 defenders in the back. Their experience and leadership has been outstanding for the team this year and kept us in some tough games.  Sophomore goal keeper, Callie Dominguez (was a defender for us last year), has stepped up and made some great saves and continues to improve,” Starcener closed with hopes of keeping this district slate in good shape.

==================================

         Way to Stay in Shape Hawks!

Don’t look now but last Friday’s games was a polar opposite situation that threw this upcoming 2nd round of games into a ‘what will or could happen on this night’ thoughts.

There was 3 upsets when  games that had the home team taking advantage of the scoreboard which will put pressure on some teams while giving new hope to others.

First: The Lake was upset by Bandera resulting in their first victory in district.
Ramifications: Canyon Lake is now in a fight needing wins to secure a spot with little room for set-backs.
Bandera, on the other hand, has been put back on life-support  for their (19-9) squad and only one game behind Navarro for a chance of making some noise.

Wimberley was victorious against Davenport and now finds themselves tied at the top owning a tie-breaker win over the Wolves. These two teams will be fighting for those top 2 post-season spots.

                            Go Hawks!

Navarro won their second game in a row which put Freddie in a need to win scenario for a chance of getting a date for the end of season dance card.

The Lake will have an important contest with the Texans at the Hawk Nest on Tuesday and then will be on the road Friday to play against a Panther team that has a renewed hope for this season presently on a two-game win streak.

Simply put….this Bandera loss, with those two other upsets,  shows more schools being able to put together enough wins for making a play-off run.

The Lake does have 4 of their 5 next contests at the Hawk Nest with hope that this crew of Hawks can rebound with more conquests.

A loss by one point on a night that CLake went to the line for 15 shots and coming away making 6 of those attempts. Simple math for that

major reason for this loss.

An important week that can help secure or put this team in limbo as the season comes down to these last 3 weeks.

Let’s GO HAWKS!
