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.

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.
