Mia Riali has little things adding up to BIG things

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks got that bad taste out of their mouths after last week’s Burnet Tournament in beating Lampasas Badgers, 49-38.

“We needed the win,” Head Coach Zach Burleson said. “The Christmas break came at the worst time as we were getting to a good point, and now we are restarting again and it will be good to get back to a routine.”

Reagan Heun and Alexa Ramos finished with 17 and 12 points respectfully as Heun got her double-double with 11 rebounds.

This contest was separated by 3 points or less through the first quarter and 5 minutes in the second stanza before a Heun 3 pointer helped increase that lead to 6 points, 18-12.

With a 21-15 halftime lead, the Hawks, would unleash their best 3 point output of the year in the 3rd quarter as CL made 4 for 6 from beyond the arc in that 19 point barrage to increase their lead to 15 points.

Adia Garcia teams with JV win over Lampasas

Canyon Lake JV-1 squad took care of business in their win over Lampasas before starting district play next week beating the Badgers, 51-30.

Starting the game on a 11-2 run was just what was needed as the Hawks worked back in getting their groove after a long break as Lainee Moses and Caroline Kullberg both finished with 10 points leading CL on this mid-day contest.

Another surprise was seeing Emily Boylan having 12 rebounds with 8 of those rascals being possessed in the last quarter of play.

“I think we just woke up as a team,” Boylan said in response to how well the team seems to be playing as this season progresses. “We are communicating much better and we can read each other’s eyes.”

That was evident with the assists, as that stat, can only work when the passer and receiver are on the same page.

Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks

The busy season begins this first week of the new year as Canyon Lake Basketball readies for District 28-4A starting soon and Soccer’s scrimmage season was off and running last Friday. Add some water for Swimming and you have the start of more action as each week continues to spring up.

With the Girl’s Basketball games last week, the Hawks had the same result as the Boy’s team with an 0-fer during their first tournament after the Christmas Break, in Burnet.

There were some heavyweights in attendance with Fredericksburg giving CL a heavy dose of what they can expect when district games start. The 12th Ranked, Billies won their game convincingly over the Hawks and now a game with Lampasas on Monday will be the final tune-up game before the real contests start on January 10th.

The Lady Hawks will have Friday off and wait for another Top 25 State opponent in Boerne starts off district play.

One morsel of hope you can conclude from those tournament games last week was having 4 games with 4 or 5 freshman playing in those battles. The Holiday season had many players missing in action and those returning players can only help.

   Happy New Year & Go Hawks

CL’s Boys got back on track with a good game in beating Karnes City for the Badgers first loss of the season.

This game had some good signs, as the Hawks battled back throughout the contest in winning by 7 points as things fell into place in the 4th quarter. After suffering a bad 4 games in Fredericksburg’s Tournament, this win was needed.

Canyon Lake will face Poteet and Navarro this week with a home game this Tuesday and a short drive to Navarro for the Friday tilt. The Poteet squad has a loss to Hondo and Navarro before the Christmas Break which will help give the Hawks an idea of how they might rank with future games after facing the Poteet Aggies.

Swimming will have their one scheduled meet this month in Burnet as the Hawks will look to improve on their win in that same water last December during the 4A & Under State Championship.

Other Sports are coming with Softball as the next sport coming out of their egg shell as this time of year there is no rest for the weary.

Look for those Basketball home games to be, ‘On the Air’, when Canyon Lake’s Broadcasting will bring those games to you by Live Stream.

If you do not have the link, then The ReSporter will post that information before each contest. You can come to this weekly article to check out when those games will be ready to tip-off.

Happy New Year and Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake has not been noted for being a Basketball school as the Boys are still looking for their first winning season while the girls have been to 2 playoff games and had a splendid team during the 2009-10 season with a final 19-10 record as their high water mark.

Those days for the Girls has been long gone while the Boys still yearn for any resemblance of a year that Hawk Girl’s Team accomplished during that magical season.

That would explain on how Canyon Lake has both Boy’s and Girl’s squads sporting records over .500 during the Christmas Break which has happened just once in 2011.

For the Boy’s, they would not win another game until the 2012-13 after reaching 9 wins before Christmas that year.

  Go Hawks

Canyon Lake continued their hot streak after waking the La Vernia Bears with 30 made free throws in their win, 64-52.

“La Vernia is a real good team and very aggressive,” Head Coach Zach Burleson stated. “I’m real impressed with them and to come out of this game with a win is awesome.”

Every Hawk got in the scoring book as Reagan Heun led with a double-double, pouring in 16 points from the charity stripe, 21 total and 11 rebounds for a game not ever witnessed by any CL team.

Those 16 made FT shots, by Heun, tied Ashley Pfaff who had a night that matched this feat in a game with Ingram Moore back on January 26, 2010.

              Go Hawks

Canyon Lake Broadcasting will be ‘On the Air’, tonight as your CL Hawks take on the La Vernia Bears at the Hawk Nest. The Pre-Game will commence at 6:30pm before the 7:o0pm tip-off.

Below is the Link for the game as this will be the first  Lady Hawk Basketball game while CLB had their first ever Basketball game streamed last week when Canyon Lake Boys round ball team took care of Pleasanton.

Go Hawks!!

Girl’s Basketball Coach Zach Burleson

The ReSporter: What is one of the biggest improvements you have seen since the first tip-off for this year?

Coach Burleson: “Probably our confidence. We have had a couple close calls that haven’t gone our way. And hopefully we are getting to where we can get over that and just move on to the next contest. I hope winning in Wimberley and Navarro would be deposits in the bank for when we need them down the road.”

The ReSporter: How has the Basketball IQ improved?

Coach Burleson: “We are trying to get better at what we do every day. I think we are starting to realize what it’s going to take for us to be successful down the road. Now we have to execute that.”

The ReSporter: The games during your tournaments were rough, what do you hope to achieve from those contests?

                    Go Hawks

A five game winning streak is now in the books as Canyon Lake took care of Austin Travis with a, 45-19 win.

“We struggled shooting tonight,” Head Coach Zach Burleson started. “We had looks but we just did not hit many shots.”

The Hawks were short handed in this victory as Christmas break seemed to take some players on this night.

This did turn out to be a good game for the freshman players as they contributed 20 points and 19 rebounds to the Hawk cause.
