CL Hawks Boys and Girls Basketball Week’s Recap

The Canyon Lake Ladies have had another successful week in hoopsville.

Since our last recap, CL Girls have won a tournament and both single games last week over Devine and Pleasanton.

This team is now on a seven game winning streak which is a high water mark for this school.

In our last wrap up ‘Percentages’ was talked about and here is what the Hawks had two weeks ago compared to today:

 Team Total                      Shots       3Point       Free Throws
 Percentages Two Weeks Ago      36.7%        32.9%        39.2%
 Percentages Now                33.4%        31.4%        42.8%

All those percentages have gone down except for Canyon Lake’s free throws.

Shooting is important, but this team relies on three other items that have resulted in their bottom line: Winning.

Defense has been top notch throughout in all their games thus far. That one result can cover a multitude of shortcomings in a game. This Hawk team is a testament to that truism.

Another positive is how much the Hawks are cutting down on those pesky turnovers. Every time a turnover is avoided will give Canyon Lake another chance to score.

One more positive this team possesses is their knack for offensive rebounding. That one stat will allow that shooting percentage to actually be higher than it shows.

Canyon Lake averages right at 14 offensive rebounds per game which might be their most important number in that stat box.

Confidence is sprouting with each win and the emergence of Sophomore Kyndall Drum will pay dividends when district starts.

Bracken Christian Lady Warriors beat New Braunfels Christian, 14-7 in the second quarter, but lost the game last Friday night at the Warriors gym.

The Warriors (4-5) were basically out played by one Wildcat that went wild scoring over 50 points in this contest.

BCS did close the gap in the second quarter to seven points, 17-23 as this scrappy group of Lady Warriors outscored New Braunfels with 12 unanswered points helping to close the gap.

The Wildcats then got wild for the remainder of this game outscoring BCS, 39-14 in the second half.

Lorena Martinez finished in double figures with 11 points and Micaela Michael controlled the boards finishing with 11 and one block.

A repeat of that second quarter for the game and BCS will put a scare or win against any team.

Canyon Lake (13-2) takes care of business in win over Pleasanton, 48-25 last Friday night on the road.

The Hawks have now won seven games in a row for the first time in CL history.

Katie Williams was the only Hawk in double figures scoring with 16 while Amber Ramsey and Kyndall Drum both pitched in with eight points a piece.

Seven CL players got into the scoring column in this game as the Hawks are now 11 games over .500 which is also a new standard never reached before.

This was also the eighth game that CL has kept their opponent under 30 points in a game.

For the season CL’s defense is giving up just 34 points per contest.

CL will have a chance again to get a seven game winning streak which has not been accomplished yet at Hawkville.

This six game streak has been reached two other times with this year’s team and the standard for all future teams at CL with the 2009-10 squad.

That Hawk team reached the playoffs and that goal has not been reached since.

Another milestone was reached in last night’s game.

Senior Katie Williams will now be raising the scoring bar for the remainder of this season as her 14 points put her on top of the heap in CL scoring, passing Tiffany Tschoepe.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won their first Basketball Tournament in front of their home crowd, beating Blanco Panthers, 30-28.

The Hawks jumped out to a six point lead to start this game holding Blanco scoreless with a little over two minutes to play in the first quarter.

CL was ahead up until only 43 seconds were left in the first half.

Blanco would extend that lead to five points to start the second half and then the Twin Towers took this game over.

Amber Ramsey and Katie Williams would be instrumental for the Hawks as they dominated offensively  scoring every point in the second half.

Blanco was able to keep the lead up until Ramsey found Williams inside the free throw line, where Williams would score giving the Hawks their first lead since the second quarter.

Canyon Lake beat Stacey Eagles for the second time this season during their second game of the round robin tournament, 45-17.

Now the Hawks will take on Blanco this Saturday at 9am, as both teams will be playing for first place after winning both games this Thursday.

Canyon Lake had many players in this game and was finding it hard to keep pressure on the Eagles.

Amber Ramsey had her second double-double on the day with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Olivia Flores was another Hawk that finished with double figures finishing with 12 points.

Ramsey pitched a tent underneath as she dominated the much smaller opponent for the second time this year.

Canyon Lake will have their work cut out for them against Blanco, as their unblemished home record will be tested.

“We were sloppy today,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We are going to work on our intensity and try to get it back, matching Blanco’s level of intensity will be our main goal.”

Canyon Lake (9-2) won their first game in the round robin tournament in the Hawk Gym this Thursday morning, 39-29.

Hustle defense was evident throughout the contest as Lytle Pirates were held on the plank for most of this game.

The Hawks had most of their 29 turnovers in the middle two quarters, which happened to be the two quarters that CL did not outscore Lytle.

Katie Williams and Amber Ramsey both finished the game with double-doubles.

Ramsey had nine of her 15 rebounds in the final quarter and finished with 10 points, while Williams had 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Williams’ 18 points moved her up into a tie with Ashley Pfaff in scoring with both now holding at 493 career points.

Pfaff was a key player three years ago during CL’s push into their playoff run. Pfaff played just one season giving you an idea of her worth that season. Lytle was the team that CL played in that playoff game.

Tiffany Tschoepe is next holding onto number one in scoring with 515 points, Williams should be able to pass that mark during the next two games.

Dulce Brown finished with a good all around game with four assists and steals in the game.

In CL’s best two quarters without turnovers, the Hawks outscored Lytle by 14 points.

Canyon Lake Freshman Girls continue an unblemished year after coming from behind to win over Lampasas last Tuesday night at Hawk Gymnasium, 30-29.

The Hawks battled being down as much as 11 points going into halftime.

CL scored four points in the second quarter quicky but then a lid was put on their basket and that was all they could get for that quarter.

In the third quarter, CL continued their cold shooting. In fact, the Hawks only had nine points through the middle two quarters, which allowed the Badgers to seem invincible, holding a 25-15 advantage scurrying into the final stanza.

Starting that final quarter, Canyon Lake staged a quarter that you could only dream about: fifteen points, which happened to be the Hawks total for the first three quarters. Impressive, to say the least.
