Go Hawks

Canyon Lake won their first home game over Bandera on Tuesday night, 49-32.

“It was nice to get a win on our first home game,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We had great fan support and the atmosphere was fun and exciting…we played well as a team and had a good solid defensive effort.”

The Hawks had two players reach double figures in scoring, as Sarah Russell chipped in 11 points while Emma Gray had a 21 point game coupled with 16 rebounds.

Gray did everything but shoot a 3 pointer in this win as she also had a team high 8 assists and 2 blocks.

Those 8 assists would usually be a team total or more on many nights as Gray dominated the inside with her play on both ends of the floor.

Head Basketball Coach Mary Beth Gallagher

The Lady Hawks were able to get their first win of the season against Somerset on Monday with a 41-28 victory last Monday.

“Well today was a good combination of solid defense and good transition ball,” Head Basketball Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We did a good job of controlling the boards and our height finally came in handy.”

CL finished with 37 rebounds with 13 on the offensive side of the court. Those offensive boards help in making that low shooting percentage will help in getting that turkey to go down better this Thanksgiving.

“We are starting to get back to our gritty defense,” Coach Gallagher admonished. “We do show signs of improvement on our basketball IQ.”

Canyon Lake started their basketball campaign with a competitive game with Lehman as the Hawks played an even game after a slow start, 37-27.

“We changed our defense after seeing their star player taking advantage of our match-ups,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We played them much better after the start of the game and I am really pleased considering we lost by 40 points last year to this same team.”

That final score last season with Lehman was an 84-40 score and considering this team being in the 6A Classification then good points can come from a loss.

This year’s volleyball team was helped with the addition of Emma Gray and now this young lady brings a basketball skill set that should help as this season starts to mature as the height can only help.

Hawks lose to Wimberley for another close loss in last year’s season.

 
 Game 5: Canyon Lake   70   Yoakum          52              Basketball
 Game 4: Canyon Lake   vs.  Wimberley 25-21, 21-25, 25-23   Volleyball
 Game 3: Canyon Lake   49   Fredericksburg  31              Football

Canyon Lake had an up and down season so far up to this game with Fredericksburg and beating the Billies would go a long way in giving this team their confidence back with a total win via, offense, special teams, and defense (when they needed The stop).

Two years ago Fredericksburg beat CL at home and did not take any prisoners in this game, winning, 38-14.

This time, Canyon Lake returned the favor as the Hawks not only controlled the clock with their running game, but also had quick answer touchdowns via kick-off returns.

The Billies could not muster any momentum giving up those two special team scores and then add two costly fumbles and Canyon Lake would not look back.

One of those fumbles happened on the one inch line as a Billie lost the ball jumping over the goal line after a jarring hit.

Josh DeVries only had one carry at home in the loss, but on this night, DeVries ran for 120 yards and had Robert Woods join him when he broke the 100 yard barrier too.

Canyon Lake has now rushed for 661 yards the last two years as the Hawks have had success with Fredericksburg these past few years.

The number, 165 is what helped win this game as that number was the total yardage for the two kick-off returns by DeVries and Matt Adams.

Both returns were in the first half and both happened right when the Billies had taken a lead. The first was after a Billies field goal and then Adams return nullified a 17-14 Fredericksburg lead.

Canyon Lake would hold Fredericksburg after that second return and then score with just 1 second on the clock before halftime.

The Hawks would have the ball first to start the second stanza and after taking 7 minutes off the clock ran the score to, 35-17.

Defense would stop Freddie again and Canyon Lake would score again with a little over 3 minutes left in the third quarter, 42-17, giving your Hawks their 28 unanswered points.

Hayden Dubois would score again to finish the game, his fourth touchdown run for this game.

Special Teams:  No Punts and 2 kickoff returns.                     √
Offense: Controlled the clock 33:10 and Fredericksburg 14:50.       √
Defense: 2 stops saving a td and drive giving the CL a quick score. √

The win would turn out to be a game to get Canyon Lake in the Playoff door for the second year in a row.

CL had 7 losses and of those games the Hawks would lose by a touchdown or less in 6 of those evenings.

 Losses              Score               Difference
 Blanco              07-35                  -28
 Wimberley           27-28                  -01
 Lampasas            14-21                  -07
 Liberty Hill        14-19                  -05
 Taylor              31-33                  -02
 Boerne              35-42                  -07
 Rockport-Fulton     21-27                  -06 overtime

That first game with Blanco would be the only contest that Canyon Lake was a no-show and a play here and there could have had a team with a much better season record.

That would explain how Canyon Lake would score more points than they gave up with 2 more losses on their ledger. (365 offense– 310 defense)

This win was big and would set up another run in those playoffs!!

Go Hawks!!

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.
