Hawks Hit Snooze Button in Loss to Johnson City, 2-3
CL Hawks came out flat and flat out lost to the Johnson City Eagles in a 5 game set on Tuesday.
“They were hungry because we had beat them at the Tex-Fest Tournament,” Head Coach Kim Paisley stated. “They were more fired up than us.”

It took 10 years for Canyon Lake to shut out Blanco as the Hawks started their season blanking Blanco, 38-0.
“This was a total team effort,” Head Coach Charlie Drum stated. “Having our back-ups in the game and still not allowing a touchdown shows that everyone was giving their best effort.”
The Defense was shut-down ready from start to finish as the Panthers were able to amass just 7 first downs with out the help of a flag, ending with 9 for the game.
Canyon Lake’s JV squad started their season smelling like a rose after scoring a 16-14 win over Blanco JV.

“This looked like it was our first game of the year,” Head JV Coach John Barthels stated. “We did respond in the second half and our last drive wore them down and our kids played hard.”
There was certainly some rust on both sides of the ball as offense was not a thing of beauty when both teams retired for their halftime talk and the Hawks having a 37 to 34 lead in yardage gained.
Clay Weber was one of many Hawk defenders that helped shut down the Panthers.
“We just got after it,” Weber surmised. “We came out with a higher mentality and we just get better with more stops and turnovers for our next game.”

CL Hawks win two of their scheduled Volleyball games on Thursday at the Rattler Tournament in San Marcos.
With the incoming Harvey Hurricane the tournament will not have any scheduled games for Saturday and the Hawks have also called off their Friday night game with Blanco for that same reason.

Canyon Lake Freshman Volleyball swept the Poth Freshman off the Plank in a Tuesday night contest winning, 25-23 and 25-12.
“We were consistent,” Head JV Coach Tosha Ridgeway commented on how the team took control in that second game. “We finished this game and that is what we were wanting to learn today…to finish.

CL Hawks went the distance in a win over the Poth Pirates on Tuesday night at the Hawk Nest.
After a 4-2 record in last week’s Sinton Tourney, Canyon Lake (11-5) found themselves in a battle with Poth as these Pirates did not want to walk the plank after prolonging the battle with a 5 game set.
Faith Hasness continued her strong Senior campaign in Sinton
The Lady Hawks finished their 2nd day with a 3rd place finish in the Gold Bracket, at the Sinton Volleyball Tournament giving Canyon Lake an 11th place finish out of 32 schools.
A win over Austin Anderson to start the day was good, but a set back against St. Joseph put the Hawks with a final game with Austin Akins for the 3rd place finish in this bracket.
In the loss a Hawk slow start was the difference as Canyon Lake could not win the 3rd game and that loss solidified the Hawks to the Gold Bracket with the other one loss teams in pool play.
On what the Hawks gained in this tourney, Coach Kim Paisley commented, “We definitely got more touches on the ball and we had more people getting to play….but we still have a lot of work to do.”
Ben Fulton will be starting his 3rd year in less than 2 weeks against Blanco.
Canyon Lake’s first scrimmage is in the book as the Hawk start their football exhibition
season. The 1st Team scored multiple touchdowns coming away with a win over Smithville.
“It was good work for us,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “It got sloppy at the end with blown assignments and poor tackling.”

The Hawk’s Sub-Varsity Volleyball teams both swept the Lockhart Lions with some back to basic wins.
This year the CLJV squad started with two tough opponents before being entered into the Tex-Fest tournament because of last minute team cancellations.
That put the JV ladies against Varsity Schools which gave the Junior Varsity some good reps even though the results did not add up to any wins.
Getting back to basically playing another JV school helped with a Canyon Lake sweep over Lockhart, 25-20 and 25-20.

Hawks victory over the Lockhart Lions was their 6th win in the last 7 games as this team will now prepare for the Sinton Tournament starting this Friday.
Canyon Lake started with a much tougher game than they wanted as Head Coach Kim Paisley had used up all her timeouts before the first rotation had finished.
