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

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

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.

Canyon Lake Hawks changed their basketball date to Saturday based on football playoffs and took care of business with

Canyon Lake Hawks getting in Basketball shape

a 6 point win over Lockhart at Mountain Valley Middle School’s main gym.

The Hawks started slow with a five point first quarter, but scoring in double digits in their next three quarters was more than the Lockhart Lions could handle.

The win gives CL a 3-0 record to start the season as this team has some young players and teammates getting used to their chemistry sets. Some good momentum before the schedule starts to have larger road blocks will be a hopeful by product.

In this Lockhart win, the word ‘Team’, was apropos with no player scoring more than six points.

That honor of high point went to (Fr) Mia Riali, (Jr) Kyndall Drum, and (So) Sarah Schneider.

Canyon Lake improved to 2-0 on the season after winning their second away game against Bastrop

Lady Hawks Basketball after win in Johnson City

last Friday.

The Hawks were in a battle the whole game but were able to lead by 6 at halftime.

Amber Ramsey was able to control the boards while getting her second double figure total finishing with 11 karooms.

Freshman Sarah Russell was the only Hawk to finish in double figures scoring as she finished with 11 points.

This game could of been a blow out if the Hawks could of shot 30% or more percent from the field.

Hawk Girl’s Basketball starts in Johnson City with a win

Canyon Lake started off their season with a win over a depleted Johnson City squad, 76-25.

Yes, JC had some Varsity girls prepping themselves for a State Cross Country Meet and that left this team without many of it’s stalwarts.

The irony might be that CL’s team is so young that this might have been classified as a Junior Varsity game instead.

The Hawks shot 46% from the field while forcing more steals than turnovers committed.

Canyon Lake had four players in double digit scoring led by Freshman Mia Riali with 14 points.

Girls Basketball is knocking on the door as Canyon Lake will be rebuilding this year after losing

Head Girl’s Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher

several Seniors from last year’s team.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach Gallagher, how are things looking as you start practices?

Coach MaryBeth Gallagher: “We have had the Volleyball girls for only two practices so we are still working those girls in. But we are in our third week of practice and overall this year will mainly be learning the game on a deeper level because of our young players.”

The ReSporter: What do you feel will be your identity?

Coach Gallagher: “We will impress teams with our defense…that will keep us in the games. Our goal is to continue to teach defense as a team and hard nose and get after them defense.”

The ReSporter: How has your offense been developing?

Coach Gallagher: “We lost a lot of our scorers and will need to teach the offensive side and try to use our speed. We have a lot more speed than we have had in the past and we have some height and some good guards.”

The ReSporter has tabulated this past season in District 27-3A team sports by school and as

Daniel Camarillo handing off to Doug Hubnik during the heyday for Boy’s Track and Field

you can see last season was not a banner year for Canyon Lake.

If a school finished first then they garnered 1 point and if a school finished last, then they would accumulate 6 points.

So the school with the least amount of points would be the goal.

Canyon Lake is still looking for their first District 27-3A Title in any sport as their best finish is still a second place finish in their history. (Baseball ’10, Softball ’11, Boys Track ’11 and ’12)

This year the top four teams will be able to punch their ticket for a post season berth and if you used that same criteria for last year, then you will see that your Hawks would of only qualified in one team sport.

Football would of been that sport to qualify for a playoff if this new rule would of been in place.

In all the other team sports your Canyon Lake Hawks best finish was fifth place.

Last season in a word was not a banner year and as this new school season approaches, CLHS will have many opportunities to improve on that record.

The ReSporter is now in its fourth year of covering Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian schools. The ReSporter has just finished it’s 1,043rd article and has also had 62,039 visits and 162,238 pages read as of February 5, 2014 stats.

As you know, this site is free for those who would like to frequent these pages after a sporting event. The ReSporter would like to introduce you to a new ‘Ad’ that was added about 10 days ago.

First off, do know that many of the advertisers on this site services The ReSporter’s household and there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that these Companies and people would treat you as well as I am treated by their services.

The ReSporter needs the audience that relies on this coverage to help out by telling these companies/people that you saw their ‘Ad’ on this site.

That way The ReSporter can keep up this coverage as the fall season looms right around the corner.

The money that is raised through our Advertisers goes to gas money, cost for maintenance for this site, and hopefully enough to put away for just cost of living increases.

If this is not realized, then there is a chance that The ReSporter might close shop before the start of next school year.

Just making it known that letting the Advertisers know that they are seen on this site will certainly help with getting, by word of mouth, other companies to also think about advertising with The ReSporter.

Jerry Besselman has been a face that many fans have seen at any Hawk Sporting event that would involve refreshing your tastes.

The ReSporter went on a search to find someone that might have been to more games and events that wasn’t a player or Coach. Besselman fit that bill as the man behind the counter where you will find liquids or food to keep that Hawk fan strong enough to end the game and yelling on their Hawk team flavor of that event.

The ReSporter had an opportunity to get with Besselman at the end of a Hawk Softball game for a formal introduction to you the fan.

The ReSporter: Hey Jerry are you having fun?

Jerry Besselman: “Yes, I get to be around students and they all know my name.”

The ReSporter: Do they know you as Jerry or Besselman?

Jerry Besselman: “There was a time when Coach Nicole Creek needed to get a hold of me to change a time of a game or something like that and she was wanting to look up my phone number. She could not find me because she knew me by my first name. So yes, I’m thinking most of the students and teachers just know me by my first name.”
