Hoops Talk

Canyon Lake Girls will be playing their last game of this season tonight and there will be some sad times as four players will be playing their last contest.

Tammy Dean who has started a few games but more often than not, Tammy has come in to spell other guards and play some hustle defense.

Hannah St. John has been injured some this year, but also is one of those guards that has had some good offensive and defensive skills these past few seasons for the Hawks.

St. John is tied for fifth place in three point shots made with Amber West.

Kelsey Long has been an important post and wing player this season giving some important minutes on both sides of the court.

Senior’s Katie Williams, Hannah St. John, Tammy Dean, and Kelsey Long played valiantly in their final game at Canyon Lake on Friday night in a loss to Boerne, 39-32.

The stat line for this crew of girls was an impressive sight with this combined total:

                       3pt           Pts  Rebounds
             fgm-fga fgm-fga ftm-fta tot  or-dr tot Steals Blocks
Four Seniors   8-18    2-4     3-5   21    1-8   9    2     1

Boerne was the front runner in district play and showed it as this game started when they jumped out to a nine point lead after the first quarter.

That Greyhound lead increased to 15 points as the teams went into halftime for instructions.

Canyon Lake answered the bell by cutting into that lead seven points after that third quarter, 33-25 deficit.

The Hawks were down just three points with 2:30 left in the fourth quarter, but the rim closed for the rest of this contest as Boerne closed with four points giving them their seven point victory.

Canyon Lake did not have a good day in competition on Tuesday night as the Hawks drew a blank in their games against Wimberley in girls and boys play.

CL Hawk girls basketball started their game scoring just one point in their first quarter and that start would be to hard to overcome in their loss, 44-30.

Katie Williams scored eight points to lead CL and also pulled down 10 rebounds, she was followed by Hannah St. John with six points.

Poor shooting continues to haunt Canyon Lake as they shot 22% from the field.

———————————————————————————

CL Boy’s basketball also could not keep up with Wimberley as the Texans increased their lead in that decisive fourth quarter for a victory over a ‘Backs to the Wall’ Hawk team.

Canyon Lake will now have to win out to have a legitimate chance for making the playoffs this season losing, 73-53.

Wimberley outscored CL 23-8 in that final stanza sealing this loss.

The Freshman Lady Hawks fought a tough game with Fredericksburg, but could not get that last basket for a win, 50-47.

“We came out slow and it all was very mental,” Coach Shannon Hoberer said. “Our focus was not great, but after halftime they calmed down and started to execute.”

Several players had key baskets and free throws down the stretch in staging an eight point comeback in that fourth quarter that helped delay the Varsity game due to only having three refs for this evening.

This Freshman game was called by one referee for almost the entire affair with reinforcements arriving with under two minutes in that critical fourth stanza.

Canyon Lake found themselves down nine and eight points in the second half before their last push that barely missed a perfect comeback.

In their earlier game, Fredericksburg blew out CL but that game was not as bad as those results garnered. The Billies had borrowed some JV players for the game when several players were sick for that game.

Turnovers and missed free throws spelled the downfall for Canyon Lake against Fredericksburg in their loss, 35-28.

Canyon Lake’s defense was pretty salty, but the Hawks needed some pepper for their offensive game as another low scoring game could not save the game or season leaving a bad taste in their mouth.

This loss will force Canyon Lake in a corner needing to win every game on their schedule to make the playoffs now.

Katie Williams finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds but finding points was much like finding eggs at a Easter Egg Hunt during a January night for most of the Lady Hawks.

Hard to do.

The Hawks shot 100% in the third quarter, the problem is having only three shots for that quarter.

With 21 turnovers in those middle two quarters CL could not get any shots to help stage a comeback.

“We need to play a tighter man to man defense,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher exclaimed. “The only chance we had to get back into the game was staying in our man defense.”

Canyon Lake will hit the road to Bandera this Friday to try and right this ship. Good Luck.

Canyon Lake’s Girls and Boys basketball teams do not need to win every game on their schedule, but there will be some important games played by other schools that will have a say on how the Hawks will fare in finishing district.

The Lady Hawks are now embarking on their final run through district starting this Tuesday when they host Fredericksburg.

In District 27-3A play you have Navarro and Boerne who have separated from the other four schools.

Now it is up to CL to win enough games this second round to get a ticket for a playoff spot.

In the first round Fredericksburg won a pivotal game against Boerne which helps them greatly if they are break even with Wimberley and Canyon Lake to end this season.

Now your Hawks will need to win games with Wimberley, Fredericksburg, and Bandera in order to give them a chance for a playoff game.

What will put them squarely into a playoff game will reside in a win against either Navarro or Boerne. If they can pull that off in this round, then a 5-5 record will put them in a tie with either Wimberley and Fredericksburg.

If Wimberley loses to Navarro, Boerne, and CL, then they will also have that same 5-5 record, but a CL win over one of the two top teams would trump the Texans and give your Hawks an inside trek to a playoff spot.

Lady Hawks had some good moments against one of the top teams in District 27-3A, but once the dam broke, Canyon Lake could not stop the onslaught as Navarro won going away, 55-34.

Canyon Lake went 10 minutes from the third into the fourth quarter without scoring a bucket while Navarro was scoring 20 points. In that time span, CL could not find any water in their lake and now find themselves needing to reverse this next half of district play with some wins.

The Hawks are not out of the race and if they can find that same feeling of wins from their non-district schedule, then anything can happen.

“We have not put together a full game yet this year,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We are just not making the changes needed.”

Canyon Lake spent their first two minutes of the second quarter controlling the back board and getting to that foul line.

The result was three points and closing the deficit to four points. Another Canyon Lake seven point run had the Hawks with a lead, 18-17 with over three minutes still to play in the quarter.
