Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won their second straight District 26-4A clash last Friday night in Gonzales, winning 50-30.

Head Girls Basketball Coach Mary Beth Gallagher

“This was a good win for us,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher started. “We know we have to beat the teams that we should beat if we are going to make the playoffs.”

The Lady Hawks reached 50 points in this contest as each quarter Canyon Lake reached double digit scoring.

“I feel this game will help our confidence in district play,” Coach Gallagher continued. “I felt like Kyndall (Drum) did a fantastic job on defense covering number 23 who is usually their leading scorer and Kyndall held her to just 4 points….Our post play has started to come together with Kyndall’s leadership and Sarah (Schneider) is feeling better and is back helping with our defense as well.”

Defense certainly helped in this contest as the bigs controlled under the basket as Mia Riali also had her way from away the basket with six steals.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks are 1-0 in District 27-4A play as they rushed out to a 22-8 half-time lead and finished off the Yoakum Bulldogs on Friday night.

Reagan Heun starts District 27-4A with 21 points in win over Yoakum

The Hawks had a 15 point run in the second quarter while holding Yoakum to three in taking this first game.

Freshman Reagan Heun was deadly from beyond the arc as she finished the night with 21 points and scored 9 of the 11 points in the last quarter.

“I had my rhythm in this game and then the bench got into it and I was just ready to do my thing,” Heun said. “This win means so much because we are so young and it will get us on our way up.”

Canyon Lake was down 10 turnovers from their average so far this season, which certainly helped CL take advantage of getting more shots off.

CL Lady Hawks were left short handed in loss to Lago Vista last Tuesday night, 40-36.

Lexy Jackson made all six of her points from the Free Throw line in game with Lago Vista

The Hawks had a one point lead at halftime but they were living on borrowed time as injuries and foul trouble help reduce Canyon Lake’s roster to five players at the end of this game.

“We showed good hustle,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “But our lack of experience hurt us at the end when the game was time to close it out.”

In starting this contest, Senior Kelsey Ahrens was nursing a sore back and Freshman Reagan Heun was ill, which had two starters taken out of their line-up before the opening tip-off.

A turned ankle for Alexa Ramos, then adding Alexis Fullen and Mia Riali, and Sarah Schneidr leaving for the bench after committing their fifth foul left Coach Gallagher looking at an empty bench for substitutions.

That speaks volumes, for a team that has had problems in many areas but being able to be competitive to the end without having players that are used to playing significant minutes.

Lady Hawks Basketball starts their home stretch before District 27-4A play begins later this month.

Senior Kyndall Drum’s return will be a welcome sight for a young Hawk team

To say that Canyon Lake is young would be an obvious statement and so that 3-11 record should not surprise the casual viewer.

What you will need to see as this season continues is how this group of young ladies will improve on some of their weaknesses and with that improvement being able to focus on the bigger picture, a berth for post-season.

This line-up presently has just two players that were suited up from last year’s team.

That simple statement explains a team that is relearning offense/defense and just getting to know each other.

Sophomore Mia Riali and Junior Sarah Schneider are the only players that played last season with Kyndall Drum biting at the bit to return later this month after suffering a pre-season injury.

Drum led last year’s team in scoring and finished second in rebounds.

Lady Hawks finished their first day at the New Braunfels Tournament 0-2 with losses to Dripping Springs and Bridge City last Thursday.

Canyon Lake continues to struggle from the field and in their game with Bridge City had a brash of turnovers that just buried this young team.

Things will certainly turn around as this team continues to mature as this season continues.

Freshman Alexa Ramos will soon help with her play while Junior Sarah Schneider had her best game with Bridge City.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks improved their record to 3-6 with a win in Luling on Tuesday, 52-26.

The win was CL’s second in a row as they go into the Thanksgiving break with some momentum.

Reagan Heun led all scorers with 19 points while Mia Riali also chipped in 11 points as both players shot at a much better rate while getting help from the rest of the team.

Alexis Fullen would fill that bill as this player seems to have a knack for blocked shots as she led the team with two against the Eagles. Fullen led the team with nine rebounds

Canyon Lake’s 26 point victory was the best for this season as they scored in double figures for each quarter which was also a first for this year.

Alexa Ramos, another Freshman, was in her second game and reached three assists and no turnovers which is that one stat that will need to be better as other teams will put more pressure on this young team.

Canyon Lake hit their stride in the fourth quarter as they used that six point advantage to win their second game of this season, 37-31 over Somerset Bulldogs.

“I thought Reagan (Heun) played well, she handled the pressure well and she made some key three pointers and just overall, showed poise,” Head Coach Mary-Beth Gallagher said. “We had a lift by getting the other freshman, Alexa Ramos back for a little bit and she too played well.”

The Hawks were led by Freshman Reagan Heun who scored 26 points to lead CL to this victory.

A pretty good line score as with those 26 points, she added 2 assists, 3 steals, and a block to top off this game.

“I felt we attacked the boards better than we had been and did a better job of limiting Somerset to one shot possessions,” Coach Gallagher continued.

Heun was just one rebound away for a double/double agains this Bulldog team.

Alexis Fullen has now topped more than 10 blocks as she continued that strength of her game with 2 in this game.

Canyon Lake Basketball is a very youthful group of girls which when translated means for a long season in the win and loss ledger.

Lexy Jackson will be an integral part for the Hawks this season.

The Hawks have just one win in their first eight games and the District 26-4A will be calling on December 19th when CL will face Yoakum at home.

You will also notice that Senior Kyndall Drum is not on any of the stat lines below as she will be expected back in December after recovering from her injury.

The Hawks will welcome her Senior leadership and added depth.

Also, Canyon Lake has been given another shot of a Freshman in Reagan Heun who leads the team in 77 points. That is 70% of points scored this season as she would be dominating at the Freshman team, but due to lack of depth with the older girls, this young lady will be called upon for this whole season.
