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.

Canyon Lake Girls won their second overtime game this year when they beat the Lampasas Badgers, 37-35, last Tuesday night at Hawk Gym.

It took the Hawks over four minutes to start the game, before Kelly Long sank one of her two free throws to finally have points on the scoreboard.

After that free throw, Olivia Flores extended the line past the arc and proceeded to make her four three point shots over the next three quarters without a miss.

Those 12 points were half of all CL’s points through the first three quarters and helped keep your Hawks in this game and even helped craft a lead through those middle stanzas.

Flores first missed shot was in the fourth quarter, but it was her lay up later that quarter that tied the game with only 43 seconds left in regulation.

“I had it going left handed and then I was so disappointed when I thought it was coming back out,” Flores said. “Then I saw it go back in and my prayer life had just gotten better.”

Canyon Lake was down, 33-29 with a 1:10 to go, when Hannah St. John made her first shot of the game. That pulled the Hawks to within two and waiting for Flores last heroics in regulation.

Basketball Weekly Report:

The Canyon Lake Varsity Girls team lost their first two games in Johnson City Tournament last week and in so doing, could only tie the longest winning streak at six games.

Lago Vista and Marble Falls Faith teams were the two losses and CL was able to get back on the winning track in their last game playing host Johnson City.

Canyon Lake has a decent team with a 7-2 record and will have a tough opponent tomorrow night, when Lampasas comes to Hawk country.

The Badgers are on a seven game losing streak and Canyon Lake will need to take care of business this Tuesday.

Canyon Lake has been winning this season on pure hustle as all three scoring positions have a low percentage of success.

 Percentages      36.7%        32.9%       39.2%

As Katie Williams and Amber Ramsey go, so goes the Hawks.

This tandem has been a strong combo underneath the basket and when they can get active in scoring points, then a win can usually follow.

Williams and Ramsey together average over 21 points a game, which is almost half of CL’s total scoring this season.

These two girls also have 25 blocks which also totals the team’s amount in that category.

Rebounding, is also a part of their game where they are controlling both sides of the court, averaging over 17 ‘bounds per game.

Canyon Lake is deep, but presently only have three players with a percentage that is above 50% from the charity stripe.

Tournament Time for Canyon Lake as Varsity Boys are in Marion, Varsity Girls are in Johnson City, and JV and Freshman Boys are playing in Wimberley.

CL Boys JV team won their second game on Friday and will play again in tomorrow at 9am against Wimberley with the winner playing for a Championship and loser for Third Place at Wimberley.

In CLJV second game, the Hawks were never threatened as this Gonzales JV team could not outscore any of CL’s individual quarters using every quarter adding up to only 13 total points.

Canyon Lake was lead by a whole host of players, but Garrett Winters was almost perfect with only one missed shot for the game.

Winters finished with 17 points and Austin Acosta had 16 points while also distributing six assists against the Apaches.

The Hawks shot 73% from beyond the three point arc and a salty 48% from the field in this game.

Nic Adams had 10 rebounds and seven players along with Acosta dished out an assist.

Total domination for your Hawks in this contest as the clock hit 6:30 left in the first quarter a three point shot from Trendon Martinez gave CL a lead that would never be threatened.

“We have an improving offense and we are moving the ball more,” Coach Brian Hooper said. “We did not make mistakes and we were taking good shots and hustling for the whole game.”

Hard to critique a 60 point win, but you could look at those free throws if you wanted to find something to do in your next practice.

Maybe you can petition the Basketball Officials and see if you could move that charity stripe back to the three point line.

Varsity Boys won their first game in Marion Tournament.
Varsity Girls lost their first game in Johnson City Tournament. Lago Vista won 47-36.
Freshman Boys finished 1-1 with a 53-23 victory over Gonzales and their loss was to St. Michael.

Canyon Lake girls basketball increased their winning streak to six games, after winning an overtime game last Tuesday night against Luling, 41-40.

By far the best start in the short history of Canyon Lake Basketball as the Hawks held on for a win by the thinnest of margins.

CL, now has a winning margin of 20 points on this streak and games will start getting tougher, as the Hawks have a couple of upcoming tournaments and a Lampasas game on the horizon.

Eight different Hawks scored in this game and Sophomore Kyndall Drum had high point honors with eight points.

Amber Ramsey and Katie Williams once again combined for a low total (12 points), which can also be a blessing, since this will be a long season and more chances where the rest of their teammates will have to respond to continue a chance for another win.

CL clamped down on Luling in the second half by holding the Eagles to only 12 points, including an overtime period.

Lots of depth, which can only help as many road blocks can present themselves during a season and game situations.

Canyon Lake had beaten Bastrop High School earlier this year and with this victory  over Cedar Creek, can now claim ownership of Bastrop.

Cedar Creek is a program that is newer than CL competing in Sports and last season the Hawks had an easy go of it, when they white washed the Eagles, 37-10.

Another year of competition has made a big difference as this game went down to the wire.

Canyon Lake led by six points going into their half time locker room and Cedar Creek cut into that tenuous advantage throughout the next two stanza’s, but this resilient Hawk team still held on for their win.

Amber Ramsey and Katie Williams combined for 12 points and that was well off their season average.

So far this year this combo has had a 26.5 points per game average underneath, which helps open the outside for CL.

Finding ways to win will be a benefit as this season matures. This conquest now has Canyon Lake with a five game winning streak.

No other Hawk team has started the year this hot. Another win will tie the 2009 team who had a six and a five game winning streak during that campaign.

Congratulations on your first Town Trophy, now let’s go conquer some more cities in our District.

Canyon Lake will take the courts next Tuesday, November 27th at Luling, with opening tip 5pm for the Freshman.

The Hawks next home game will be Lampasas on December 4th.
