CLJV celebrating after beating Wimberley

Game 5: Canyon Lake 70 Yoakum 52    Basketball

Game 4 in the count down of the Top 5 games played this past season will certainly be a surprise to some of you since this game did not involve a Varsity team.

This year, Canyon Lake had many sub-varsity teams that finished at the top district races as Mountain Valley keeps feeding some salty classes to the halls in CL that are transferring to a sporting event.

The Hawks had a break out year in Volleyball this season, but many times when a Varsity team comes through with a good season, the Freshman and Junior Varsity might not be as talented.

You might say that those Varsity teams were successful because they needed those younger players to help get them in a better position to compete in those all important district games.

Wimberley has been a thorn in the side of Hawk fans ever since the first year of competition and this past season, the Junior Varsity made great strides as they too were a much improved group of ladies that will be ready to take the baton from those Senior Volleyball players.

Canyon Lake’s Varsity finished by hitting the 30 win plateau, but one of the better games played came during a home game against Wimberley.

The Varsity had an undefeated district record as did Wimberley in the first half of the round robin of district games and the stands would fill up with more people to ever witness a home game.

Caitlin Gillum driving for two points against Bandera

Canyon Lake has finished their season and The ReSporter would like to share the All-Time Stat list to show where some Seniors finished and where some of the Hawk players stand in their quest to rise to the top.

Some notes for the numbers below will need to be communicated as Ashley Pfaff stats are based with just one year of playing and so that should help people understand just how good of a player this young lady was.

If The ReSporter was going to place a starting line-up, then based on watching the players below and crunching their numbers then this would be the team we would go to the hardwood with.

Ashley Pfaff: Her numbers speak for themselves, but more than that this player was an all around player that could also handle the ball.

The total package from her assists and blocked shots to her shooting and dishing the rock.

Katie Williams: Katie would be our, ‘get it done underneath’, player. You could count on Williams each night as she brought her lunch pale and was always ready for battle.

Tiffany Arredondo: Arredondo could break a press just by dribbling through the defense and her ability to find a player for an assist is why she is over 40 away from any other player reaching her numbers.

Arredondo is who we would want as our quarterback in those tough situations.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks made their game very interesting as they closed a 13 point La Vernia lead and tied it up with just one minute left in the game.

Senior Kyndall Drum finishes her last game with 21 points as the Hawks just missed a chance for a win.

Senior Kyndall Drum was the main instrumental piece that forged the comeback.

“I was angry,” Drum beat. “I did not want to end the season the way the game was going and so I just wanted to help as much as I could.”

Help she did as Drum was the tallest person on the floor for most of this game and La Vernia did not have an answer for her inside play as the Hawks finally started feeding Drum the ball and a comeback was started.

The Hawks started their play inside while La Vernia’s three point shooting accuracy fell in that second half.

Drum finished the year with another double-double as she also snatched 10 rebounds to finish her career as a Hawk.

A few mistakes in that final minute of play sealed Canyon Lake’s loss, but this young team did make a good run for that final playoff spot.

Freshman and Sophomores have played an important roll for this year’s edition and with another year of maturity, this team can certainly become a force in the seasons to come.

Improvements with handling the ball as well as passing will certainly lower the turnover problem that plagued this team.

Two years ago, Kyndall Drum had a horrid free throw percentage and she worked on that part of her game and shot over 50% for her senior year.

Little things can become bigger for this team as a bigger finish next year will hopefully result in playoffs for Canyon Lake.

Thanks for your year and The ReSporter can hardly wait for next year’s edition.

Canyon Lake played their game with La Vernia much better than their last game, but the end result still was a loss to this very tall Bear’s team.

Junior Brandon Ward gets hot scoring 18 points in game with La Vernia

The Hawks had a better percentage of shooting from beyond the arc which helped CL in keeping this game closer than expected.

Junior Brandon Ward was on fire for this game as he finished with 18 points as his shots came from outside, while driving to the basket, and free throw line.

“I knew I was going to have my shot in warming up,” Ward said. “When I made my first three pointer then that just helped my confidence and allowed me to play at a higher level.”

Senior Garrett Winters was the other Hawk to finish in double figures scoring 10 point in the loss where Winters (70) also climbed up the 3 point shooting ladder by only trailing Andrew Riali (122) and Cole Green (77).

Canyon Lake did get into foul trouble as Ward and Skyler Tschoepe both sat on the pine as La Vernia went on a 13 point run starting in the first quarter and well into the second.

That cold spell helped La Vernia’s lead to grow into a game that would become a catch up affair for the rest of this game to the much taller Bear.

Canyon Lake will now have one more game this season with Yoakum next Tuesday at the Hawk Nest as this year’s edition will bow out with a chance to get three wins in district play.

Lady Hawks will go to last game of season with one more shot in making the Playoffs

Canyon Lake played a Texan team that has been on a roll these past few weeks as Wimberley upped their winning streak to 8 games after taking care of the Hawks, 61-40 in Friday action.

The Hawks still have a chance to control their own destiny with a victory this coming Tuesday when CL takes on La Vernia and with a win can forge a tie with that same Bear team.

If a win is accomplished then those same to schools will play again for that fourth and final playoff spot.

In this game, Senior Kyndall Drum reached the double-double plateau as she scored 12 points while finishing with 13 rebounds.

Foul trouble was one of the contributing factors for CL as three players were disqualified from action after reaching their fifth foul.

Hawk Basketball has become a hard game to finish this year as the Lady Hawks will need to sweep their last two opponents if Cuero does not lose in their last two contests. If the Hawks can take care of business with La Vernia next Tuesday, then that too would keep the playoff door open for Canyon Lake.

Texas RV supports Canyon Lake Basketball

Cuero has the two bottom teams in the standings and their could be an upset but CL will also need to take care of business in Wimberley to give them a chance to tie Cuero and have a play in game.

For the Hawk Boy’s team, a sweep would be the best way of describing their way of playing into the post season.

That will be a tough order since many of the remaining teams are on the higher echelon of the district standings at this writing.

The Lady Hawks had a lead for much of their game with Cuero but just ran into a dry spell that continued long enough to seal the deal for their loss.

Kyndall Drum was a human vacuum cleaner on the glass as this young lady finished with a double-double scoring 13 points and pulling down 17 rebounds in the game.

That rebound total was right at a half of the total rebounds for Canyon Lake and Drum scored one third of the points.

This Week at Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Basketball Teams are approaching the last part of their schedules as the girls have three more contests while the boys play 5 more times.

Y4 Custom Homes Sponsors Canyon Lake Sports

For the girl’s team, the Hawks will have another big game at home with Cuero and a win would give Canyon Lake a two game lead over the Gobblers.

The schedule will end on an easier note for Cuero as they will play the two cellar dwellers in to end their schedule putting more pressure on CL to come out on top and then get one win out of their last two games to clinch.

Wimberley would be one of those clubs and the Texans have been playing some inspired round ball as they walloped Navarro at their house to start the last round of games and really have not been threatened the last couple of weeks.

Canyon Lake will have their last game with La Vernia at home to end the season and a win on that night would be huge for the young upstart Hawk team.

Navarro looks to be in good shape to finish first with Wimberley being a solid second place at this writing.

The third and fourth place is still being played out as Canyon Lake is joined by Cuero and La Vernia for those two coveted spots.

On the Hawk Boys side, another year seems to slipping away without a chance for more games as Canyon Lake needed a win over Navarro to get some much needed momentum.

With games remaining against Wimberley, Cuero, and La Vernia, Canyon Lake will have their work cut out for them to come out on the winning side in that many games.

Counting the Freshman and Junior Varsity to last week’s games, CL finished 5-1 in those combined games giving hope for a much brighter future, especially considering so many of those younger players are entrenched in the upper teams based on age.

Canyon Lake’s Soccer teams will start their district off with a double header this Tuesday at home against Boerne.

The Greyhounds started their district play with two very convincing wins over Wimberley last week giving the other four teams something to take notice.

More will be known about the Hawks after this coming Tuesday as both teams come into this year’s district games on an upbeat.

The Girl’s team has an oftense that can certainly put goals in the net, but now when district starts that net might start to get a little tighter.

Their are five teams in District 28-4A and those schools are playing musical chairs as only one team will be eliminated after district games come to a close.

This will give the Hawk Boy’s team the best chance since play started six years ago to keep playing in the post-season.

Fredericksburg boys and girls team beat Bandera last week and now Canyon Lake starts their quest for some Hawk history.

Tuesday will be a good night to come watch Soccer and Basketball as both venues will be at home.

Hawk Swimmers will be in action again this week-end at Palo Alto College as several students had a break out UIL District 28-4A Meet last week.

The UIL Region 7-4A Championships will give Canyon Lake a chance to make their splash to be able to qualify for the State Championships later this month.

A good week for Canyon Lake and now sports start to get interesting and just around the corner Softball and Baseball being joined by Track and Field will commence as February matures.

Go Hawks!!
