Canyon Lake’s woes continue this season as this young team keeps searching for consistency on the court.

Junior Kyndall Drum

If the truth needs to be known, there are players on this squad that would be playing on Freshman and Junior Varsity teams at this time of the year, but instead, find themselves playing teams that have more years of experience.

So this season continues to be a learn while you play and then hopefully in a couple of years the scores can be reversed.

Amber Ramsey did have a 14 rebound game which speaks well for this Senior that is currently sitting in third place in all time rebounds for the Hawks with 526 caroms.

Tiffany Tschoepe with 579 and Katie Williams’ 559 boards would be next on the bar for Ramsey to attain as she finishes off her Senior campaign.

2013 Graduate Katie Williams holds down many Hawk Basketball Records

ReSporter wanted to show how this team of players stack up with previous players in the record book.

The players in kelly green are the current players and in each category there will be players that have ranked in the top 5 or more levels.

So, seeing a current player ranked sixth might not mean they are the sixth best ever with that stat.

You will be able to tell by looking at the official number of points (or whatever the stat is) that this player has many more points needed to enter into the higher stratosphere.

The Hawks started District 27-3A on Friday night with a rude awakening as Fredericksburg put a lid on the Hawks basket winning, 44-20.

There was good news and bad news as this game finished the first quarter.

Good News? Canyon Lake shot 100% from the field.

Bad News? The Hawks shot had 2 shots and 11 turnovers which gives you a hint why only two shots were recorded.

Canyon Lake with all of their bad vibes for this game found themselves down, 17-11 with five minutes remaining in the third quarter.

“We had a good defensive effort,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher exclaimed. “It took us a while but we finally ran a good fast break off of their press.”

Sophomore Sarah Schneider came off the bench and finished with 6 points to lead the Hawks.

Amber Ramsey also had a good stat line with 2 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocked shots, while pulling down 9 rebounds.

Points were hard to come by as Canyon Lake turned the ball over 29 times which would be 29 times the Hawks did not have a chance to score.

The Hawks will now go on the road for a game with Bandera on Tuesday in what will be an early must win for this young club.

===============================================

The Hawks Junior Varsity played just three quarters in loss to the Billies JV team in a 39-22 loss.

Kirsten Jones working on Basketball skills as season progresses

Another game where the Hawks found themselves down, 28-21 going into the fourth quarter and then had a hard time getting points to carry the game out to the finish.

One point in the quarter on a Keirsten Jones free throw would be the only point for Canyon Lake which would be way too little to keep the game competitive.

“We need to keep running our plays correctly,” Jones said. “Talking on the court will let us know what is going on.”

Canyon Lake had not been pressed that many times this season and Fredericksburg was running the press non-stop in this game. Hence the 31 turnovers.

“Just recently we have been getting pressed more,” Jones pressed an answer. “We need to do a better job of setting up our offense as fast as possible.”

On what she hopes this Hawk team can improve upon, Jones offered, “We all hope to make our shots and work on breaking the press especially in District.”

Sydney Johnson did finish the game with 9 points and was high point for Canyon Lake.

Canyon Lake will travel to Bandera next Tuesday and will see if their game is improving.

Good Luck….

Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

The ReSporter: As District 27-3A looms in the next few days, The ReSporter would like to get a mid season update from Coach Mary Beth Gallagher before the start of district play against Fredericksburg at the Hawk Gym on January 3rd with tip-off for Junior Varsity 4:30 and Varsity 6:00pm.

The ReSporter: How has your young team progressed during this pre district games?

Coach Gallagher: “Well we have progressed and we are now focused on the details of our offense.”

The ReSporter: What are you needing from those players to do in order to give your team a chance to compete?

Coach Gallagher: “We have to do the little things like set good screens, make smart passes and finish shots to win in district. We know we will have to beat Wimberley and Bandera both times and we would love to take a win from one of the other three.”

The Canyon Lake Lady Hoopsters won two games on Saturday in the Canyon Lake Classic to finish in 3rd Place.

Freshman Sarah Russell responds with solid game as she prepares for district play

Both games were slow starters in the first quarter, as the Hawks could only muster 5 points in each affair and in both instances were having to play catch up to finish on top.

These two games were must wins over schools that are smaller classifications and in the case of Lago Vista a team that had been on the losing side of that ledger earlier this season to the Hawks.

The Vikings jumped out to a double digit lead with 9 and 10 point runs that ended when CL had their two baskets in a row with 7 minutes left in the second quarter.

Canyon Lake finished that second quarter outscoring Lago Vista 18-7 as both teams retreated to their dressing rooms for halftime.

The Hawks continued their pace in the second half taking a lead on a bucket from Amber Ramsey with 6 minutes left in the quarter and what would be Lago Vista’s last lead in this contest.

The Lady Hawks could not overcome their six point deficit in the first quarter and were beaten in their first game of this year at the hands of John Paul II, 35-32.

Canyon Lake did close the gap to three points going into the fourth quarter but could not reach the top of the canyon losing by that same margin.

“We played out of sync,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher started. “John Paul was aggressive and we did not come with our A game and so they capitalized on that.”

The Hawks continue to give too many points away with turnovers and missed free throws as the offense gave the ball back to John Paul 24 times while missing 10 shots from the charity stripe.

Canyon Lake scored 15 points in their first quarter with only needing one more point to

score more than Luling would have in their whole game.

In fact, the Lady Hawks did score more than Luling in each quarter after that first stanza and coasted to a 53 point win.

“We were able to work on a lot,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “Everyone got good playing time.”

Luling was the type of opponent you can judge how the team has progressed, but it does allow the coaches another game of assessing how much improvement has transpired.

The Lady Hawks won their fourth game in a row beating the Eagles from Cedar Creek on Tuesday night at

Senior Emily Muniz is all smiles after her best game this season

Mountain Valley Middle School.

This game went 4:39 seconds before the first point was scored by the Hawks as Jenna Lann made her free throw and it would be a lead that was never relinquished.

Scoring points was as difficult as visiting your dentist in having several teeth to be pulled.

Free throws was certainly not a good term to use, in this game, a made free throw would be viewed as gold.

CL was a cool 2 for 10 from the charity stripe while Sarah Schneider scoring the first bucket with 2:36 left in the first quarter and a 3-0 lead.
