Way to Go Hawks!!
Canyon Lake and Marble Falls battled it out Tuesday and ended up with a 2 run win for the good gals, 14-12. In fact, this battle lasted longer than the Alamo skirmish by using 282 combined pitches, 26 runs, 24 hits, 13 walks, 2 hit batters, 6 errors, a collision on the base paths and several visits between coaches and game officials.
Luke Roskin struck-out 12 in a Devine win to start the season.
Canyon Lake Baseball has now opened their season with the 6th win in a row after staving off Devine on the road, 3-2. The Lake has a 6-1 record under the tutelage of Head Coach Victor Escamilla and that one loss was a 3-2 set-back against Llano on his first year.
This year’s Lady Track & Field has a chance to make an attack on those All-Time Records this season after a strong showing against 5A-6A schools at the Comal ISD Relays earlier this week.

HAWKS HOPING FOR PLAY-IN GAME FOR PLAY-OFF GAME
Three weeks ago, The Lake, had a myriad of ways for a chance to earn a right to make the post-season in Boys Basketball.
The Hawks did start their playoff last Friday when they had a ‘must win’ situation which in reality is what this time of year presents for having a chance being able to continue their season.
C-Lake was able to take that next step beating Navarro, 62-45 and that now the Hawk Nation is waiting results of the Boerne/Bandera game this Tuesday (Feb. 13th).
If Bandera can pull off a win then Canyon Lake will need to wait another year… but the chances of having a play-in contest has the odds on Canyon Lake’s side based on Boerne coming into this battle undefeated and 12th ranked based on tabchoops.org.
Authentic Canyon Lake says Let’s Go Hawks & Don’t Forget Valentine’s Day!!
In this Hawk’s Navarro win, Carter Williams finished with his 6th double-double this year finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds. As a team, CLHS topped 42 rebounds with Mario Aguilar (11) bounds.
This game CL got separation after the Panthers tied the score 7 all with 5:30 left in the quarter. In dominant fashion The Lake finished this opening period with a, 11-2 stretch.
During this season, Canyon Lake’s worse two quarters have been the 2nd & 3rd stanzas…so it was good to see CL fashioning a 16-8 quarter and halftime, 34-17 advantage.
That dominance would continue as these Hawks increased the lead to 23 points to end the 3rd period when Aguilar sank two free throws, 50-27.
CL’s largest lead was 25 points to start the last 8 minutes before Navarro’s last rush closing the gap with a Hawk 17 point victory, 62-45.
Way to Go Hawks!!
CLHS would use their bench depth after seeing a Logan Lewis pass to Ryan Alvarez for two points that brought the Hawk bench to their feet and final score conclusion.
The Hawk bench ended this contest scoring 18 points as Coach Monte Cole used different line-ups to fine-tune this game with an anticipated game with Bandera.
It will be known late Tuesday night when Canyon Lake finds out if they can continue their pre-playoff-playoff run with another win against those Bandera Bulldogs.
Keep in touch with The ReSporter as we post the date and time of CLHS next game if warranted.
If CLHS Boy’s Basketball team is fortunate to play this week it will represent the 500th game in Hawk history. A chance to start that next 500 contests with a special win that will have CL making their 5th year in the playoffs.
A bit of forward thinking has this possibility (using the Jethro Bodine math formulas) for the Bi-District round if CL can be so inclined in taking care of business against Bandera.

Hawks Take Down Navarro, 64-49
Way to Go Hawks!!
Canyon Lake completed their first round of District 27-4A games standing in 3rd place one game behind Davenport.
The Hawks took down Navarro last Tuesday night with one of their best shooting nights this season with an overall 44% from the field and a lofty 46% from beyond the arc.
That led to a 5th place tie with 10 other Hawk teams that have reached 11 makes in a game. However, with using their shooting percentage as a metric to break that tie would put this game only behind CL’s 11 makes in their Boerne game February 2nd, 2013.
There were some other notable milestones with this victory having Carter Williams finishing with a double-double with 11 points and rebounds while also contributing 5 blocks that had Williams’ finishing with 10 blocks for the week. This was his 3rd 5 block party in his career that ranks 4th all-time.
Jacob Holland made 5 three-pointers for 3rd place tied with 9 other Hawks. Holland helped keep CL in control to start this game making 4 of those shots during that first half.
Another notable stat came from Jaxson Jeter when he finished with 8 assists for 5th on that all-time list for Canyon Lake.
Way to GO HAWKS!!
This Navarro Panther crew had a 4 point lead to start this game, 9-5 with right under 3 minutes left in that first quarter.
A Hawk rush after scoring 11 unanswered points to end that first stanza was comforting but NHS would still hang on when they cut a Hawk 7 point lead during that 2nd quarter when they took the lead back at the 2:09 mark before halftime.
The Hawks would regain their lead on a Jeter 3 point jumper and the Hawks hung onto a vicarious 2 point lead, 29-27.
Defense allowed The Lake to an 8 point advantage to start out of halftime which has not been a Hawk strength for most of this season, but on this night, did supply this Host team a chance for separation, 39-31.
Go Hawks & Way to Fly High!!
The 4th Period had both teams change from a marathon contest to a sprint as both teams combined scoring 43 points that had CL outscoring Navarro 7 points, 25-18 and an eventual, 64-49 final.
All 4 district games that CLHS has won had the Hawks holding their opponent to 40-49 points. In those two set-backs their opponents scored 59 points with the second round beginning next Tuesday in Fredericksburg.
There is just one more home game against Boerne and having 5 of the 6 games on the road will give CL a good audition, if a post-season ticket can be punched, for a chance to work on focusing and not letting an opponent’s crowd noise nullified.

CANYON LAKE JV & VARSITY SEND WIMBERLEY BACK HOME on SLIME ROAD!!
Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity set the stage for the upcoming Varsity tilt on this night with a 4 point (much worse than the final score) win against Wimberley’s JV, 52-48.
It would be a good night at the Hawk Nest when CLJV took care of business after a workmanlike game as these Hawks held an 11 halftime advantage, 25-14.
Defense was the name of this game in those first 3 quarters as that 2nd stanza saw the Hawks dropping droppings (not a misprint) on the Texan’s offense holding them to one field goal.
“The kids played to their potential, and we still have room for improvement,” Head JV Coach Javarius Smith surmised. “I told the kids before the game that we need to be locked in and play our best no matter what our opponent’s jersey says. The battle of the backbone is a big part of Canyon Lake sports history, so the kids have a little more giddy up when we play those guys.”
Go Hawks!!
That certainly played out as this turned out to be a team affair with 4 of those Hawk starters finished with double digit scoring and one player just one field goal away from making that fraternity to 5 inductees.
Ben Parma turned on his offensive skills during that 4th quarter with his 8 points which had half of that total coming as a result of his shot that brought rain from beyond the arc while being fouled for that coveted 4 point play.
Guard Gavin Cano directed the offense with floaters and dishing the ball scoring 10 points.
Eli Hammons (11 points) used his size to control the paint while Josh Rowe and Wyatt Sims each contributed a combined 21 points with pinpoint accuracy.
The Hawks did have a lapse as they went prevent defense to end this battle which will usually allow a team to amass enough points that can make that final score look much closer than what actually happen.
But a win is a win and now Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity will look to build on this conquest as they have one more contest before the 2nd round of district games next Tuesday at the Hawk Nest.

===========================================
The Lake’s Varsity helped their chances of making the post season after coming from behind to beat Wimberley, 47-46. The win was important as the Hawks have just one remaining game during the first round of district battles.
Hit Man says way to get rid of those Pests.
That game will come nest Tuesday against Navarro who is presently tied with Freddie still looking for their first district win.
In this win, The Lake, now stands with a 3-2 record and bragging rights on those two teams right below them in the standings jockeying for position for those coveted 4 post-season spots.
The HoHum – Cold – Microwave Hot Hawks started with a game that had both participants with a turnover prone start. But CL was able to win this first phase, 9-7 and was highlighted when Mario Aguilar scored his first points with an old time 3 point play after being fouled on his jumper and free throw.
During the 2nd quarter both teams still had a hard time finding the bottom of the net but Aguilar’s steal and layup coaxed a 9 point lead, 16-7 with 2:15 still left on the first half clock.
CL’s defense was on fire which is one of those basketball adages that ‘defense can be a constant on the hardwood’. That was the motif during this period until that last 30 seconds when CL left their guard down allowing two quick baskets.
Before those last shots, The Lake had held the Texans without a point for 8:30 minutes.
Now, welcome to CL’s biggest problem (ice cold 3rd period) so far this season, when Wimberley came out of their halftime break on fire and finished this quarter scoring 29 points and enjoying an eight point lead, 40-32.
Put into perspective that these Texans had scored a total of 17 points for 3 quarters but after that 3rd stanza it almost clip these Hawk’s wings.
WHS would continue that barrage starting the final 8 minutes upping their lead to 11 points, 43-32 on a corner 3 pointer with 6:10 left on the timer.
With a back and forth affair and then the Texan’s second 11 point advantage with a 1 minute being drained and The Lake staring at the scoreboard down, 45-34.
So with a ho-hum first half and then an ice-cold 3rd quarter your Hawks finally put together a remarkable microwave hot moment both offensively and defensively for the rest of this period outscoring their visitors, 11-1 to end this game with a win starting at that 5:10 mark.

Canyon Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!!
That Wimberley player was perfect before that missed free throw. He had made 8 consecutive foul shots and then a miss that left this game in the Hawks hands for a win.
Canyon Lake can now take care of business this Tuesday and finish the first round with a 4-2 record and an inside track for punching a ticket for the post-season. Also remember that CL has just 2 home games remaining with this Navarro Tuesday contest and then Boerne during the 2nd round of district.
