The Lady Hawks will be traveling to Poteet High School for their next round of playoffs against London Pirates who support a, 22-4 season record.

This will be Canyon Lake’s 4th try at this well to turn around a 3 game slide and a chance to play for Division IV Crown next week.

The Hawks have beaten Gateway (6-1) and Floresville (5-1) with each of those contests having to come back from a one goal deficit before answering for a lead while holding each opponent without a goal.

Earlier this week in that Floresville contest the Jaguars were clamped down by a stingy Lake defense that allowed just one more chance to score as Callie Dominguez ended up having a more tranquil evening at the net.

Game Broadcast will be from the London Broadcast team with their start time 10 minutes before play begins.

          GO TOPSY-TURVY HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake’s Girls Soccer turned Floresville upside down in a, 5-1 win and will now prepare for London Pirates (22-4 & 16-0 District) in a Regional Semifinals battle.

The Lake’s next opponent is London and that contest will be this Friday at Poteet High School starting at 7:30pm.

CL’s Topsy Turvey contest in this Area Round once again started with a one goal deficit when the Jaguars took a lead at the 28:15 mark left in the first half.

That first 30 minutes of play was not what the doctor ordered for a Hawk team that was finding it hard to get an attack offensively as Floresville was the aggressor of the two with most of those 30 minutes being played with Canyon Lake defending against a resilient Jaguar team.

The Lake would turn it around when Abby Lowth scored on a topsy-turvy header tying this game, 1-1 with 8:52 before halftime.

                     Go Canyon Lake!

Three minutes later Bella Biasatti scored for what would turn out to be the game winner, 2-1.

“Coach (Kara Stracener), during halftime told us that we were better than this,” Avery Norris recalled. “She (Coach) had us close our eyes and imagine us locking in and we got better.”

That 2nd half would be all Canyon Lake switching with Floresville now not being able to get any traction against a Hawk offense that pitched a tent at the Jaguar’s net with a constant barrage of shots on goal.

Topsy Turvy definition: Utter confusion or disorder. With the top or head downward: upside down….
What was down was now up for The Lake and opposite for Floresville and the remainder of this contest.

              Way to Go Lake!!

To start the 2nd half and 11 minutes in had Oberholtzer’s only goal right in front of the net with a pass to herself on the opposite side and a Hawk 2 goal lead, 3-1.

Within that 11 minute span to the final score that had a Norris goal one minute later and then another final topsy-turvy score with 18:37 remaining.

Oberholtzer’s somersault throw-ins led to scores that had Floresville seeing double with no plan of attack.

Now the next rung up the ladder has CL playing a London team that has a stout resume.

However this battle does show a chance for your Lake team with a common opponent being Wimberley who beat the Pirates early this season 4-0.

With the 4 London losses their opponents have a very respectable .718 winning percentage. (65-24-5)

The Lake’s 6 losses to schools that presently have a, 101-22-10 combined record for a .797 winning percentage.

Canyon Lake has an, 0-3 record in their previous Regional Semifinals games and wanting a chance to go another round.

Coach Stracener might want to have these Ladies closing their eyes on the bus imagining another gold ball. With a little topsy-turvy play thrown in for good measure.

Let’s Go Hawks!

                              GO LAKE!

It was a good week for the Lake with Baseball scoring in double digits in all their wins and a just missed opportunity in a, 3-2 loss to State Ranked New Braunfels.

This week Baseball will start district with games against Wimberley.

The Softball team was able to even their district record after taking Navarro to the wood shed in their, 10-3 win over the Panthers. This week it will be @ Davenport on Tuesday and @ the Billies on Friday.

Golf will be in action on Monday in Fredericksburg as the Hawks will get familiar where one round will be played for District further down the road.

Track & Field will be competing at the Texans Relays in Wimberley and a good chance to catch a group of talented Hawks.

                        Let’s Go Lake!

Another headliner will go to this week’s Area Round of playoffs for the Lady Hawk’s Soccer team when they go to Lehman High School to take on Floresville with the start time 7:00pm.

Soccer beat Gateway last week, 6-1 and will look to continue their post-season schedule with another win this Tuesday.

Let’s GO LAKE!

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!!

Canyon Lake spotted the Gateway Gators an early one goal lead a mere 47 seconds into this Bi-District contest but would make up for that in spades by scoring the next unanswered 6 goals and ended with a date against Floresville next Tuesday at Lehman High School.

“Everyone in our district is more physical than Gateway,” Head Coach Kara Stracener said. “They were calm and possessed the ball well and we were able to win a lot of those 50-50 balls.”

Coach Stracener continued, “We always have a game plan…We did okay but it was not our best game… but it was good to get a win not playing our best game.”

Savanna Oberholtzer scored one of her 5 goals during this contest 12 minutes later and then again it took one minute for another goal for a lead that would not be threatened for the rest of this battle.

                    Way to Go Hawks!!

Basically a, ’See You Later Alligator’ scenario as CLake will now start preparations for their Area round after Floresville Jaguars who beat Luling, 2-2 on a penalty shootout.

The Gators came into this game averaging a little over 6 goals per contest and was riding high without a loss in their last 12 games which had one tie to their district champion, Burnet, 5-5. These Bulldogs beat Fredericksburg, 5-4 in their playoff battle in that large school bracket.

Goalie Callie Dominguez had 7 saves with her best coming at the 22:46 mark of the 2nd half while The Lake was enjoying a, 4-1 advantage.

Team Lake showing off their Bi-District Trophy!  GO LAKE!

Oberholtzer scored 3 goals in that first half and then continued her flash points two more times in the 2nd half at the 28 and 6 minute mark.

The finishing touches was when Abby Lowth scored with a header off a corner kick from Oberholtzer with 18 seconds remaining.

Bella Biasatti had CL’s other assist in this Gator Feast.

Great defense continued after that first minute hic-up with the midfield defenders keeping these Gators in the water where The Lake had the advantage.

Sofia Balderas was awarded the defensive player of this win by her coaches after this game.

Oberholtzer’s speed kept Gateway without a lock as they could not find a way to keep the Hawk’s from threatening for more goals…the Gators defenders could only turn their head to see where Oberholtzer would be dribbling next before her eventual, ‘back of the net’, score.

Congrats Hawks and next up will be the Jaguars and next victim.

Go Hawks!

                                                             Post-Season Soccer starts this Friday! Let’s GO LAKE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                        GO HAWKS!!

The Hawk’s Soccer team will start their post-season this Friday at Johnson Hays against Gateway College Prep (17-4-1) where in District 25 finished 2nd place behind Burnet.

The Lake did not finish how they would have liked in losing to Davenport but those memories will need to be short-lived with those important post-season contests come calling this week.

For the rest of this week it will be sports that specializes with balls & bats with CL’s Baseball playing four consecutive days starting on Tuesday on the road at San Antonio Cole with a 12 Noon first pitch.

Canyon Lake will have two home games on Wednesday (Comfort @ 6:30p) and Friday (Gonzales @ 2:00p) with a 5A New Braunfels squad at their house this coming Thursday.

Hopefully a good week that can produce some answers for who solidifies a spot for those Tuesday & Friday’s contests. Pitching will be one of those opening positions with how the defense will be placed on who might win that #2 pitching spot.

Softball started their district play with a loss to Wimberley last Friday and now will see if they might be able to get in the win column when Navarro comes to the Hawk Nest on Friday with a 12 Noon first pitch.

A slow week that will pick up speed the next week on Monday 24th when CL’s Golf plays at Lady Bird Golf Course in Fredericksburg.

Let’s Go Lake!

Lady Hawk’s Soccer team celebrate a win and Savanna Oberholtzer scoring over 100 goals in win over Mustangs! Way to GO LAKE!

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

The Lake’s Girls Soccer team won their 5th district game after a win at Marble Falls, 4-1 that will now leave CL with their last home game against Davenport this Friday.

Win or lose in the Wolves battle will still have your Hawks with a 2nd seed for the smaller 4A grouping with Wimberley.

It was this same scenario with CLake’s Boys Basketball when Fredericksburg making the playoffs moved The Lake to the smaller school category.

This win moved Canyon Lake (12-4-4 season)~(5-1-3 district) with a continued good defensive effort for the season. Allowing just 19 goals or less than one goal per contest.

        Go Lake & Go Far in Post-Season!

Marble Falls got their goal early in this game (34:38) minutes left in that first half and from there it The Lake’s Dam would not be broken again while CLHS responded with 4 unanswered goals in this victory.

Offensively, Savanna Oberholtzer had her feet in all the scoring with 3 goals and an assist to Ryarose Clark for the other score. Oberholtzer scored her 100th goal in this game and finished with 102 for this season with a record 7 goals scored in an earlier win over Bandera with an assist finishing with 15 points in her 17 shots.

A win over Davenport this Friday would give Canyon Lake more momentum going into their playoff season and raise their goal of going further this go-round.

After the Mustangs opening score, it was a Oberholtzer break-a-way that gave her a one on one with the goalie and score just 1 minute and 13 seconds later and a tied game.

The Hawks were against the wind in that first stanza but did score two more times at the 10:53 mark by Ryarose Clark and then right before half at the 2:16 time a score, 3-1 lead that gave CL a secured win knowing that the play of Goalie Callie Dominguez would put a clamp on the Home Team.

This was a rough outing for CL with several ladies that left the game with some bruises….”Yeah…I tried to get some players off and get some rest and hopefully not an injuries but it still happened,” Head Coach Kara Stracener shared.

On what will be the team goals this week with the last district game and the post-season? “It’s just important that game helps propel us into the playoffs and not like a let down but regardless of the outcome (of the Davenport game) we will still be in 3rd place and second seed for small (schools bracket).”

Canyon Lake continues a strong season with higher goals this season and as always…..Way to GO LAKE!

                       Let’s GO HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake’s Soccer just missed a golden opportunity for staving off Wimberley for a win last Friday but a tie certainly cemented this team for a 3rd seed with a chance of upping that ante with a sweep of this week’s contests.

Wimberley has one loss for this season (to a team from Louisiana) and two ties (to a team from the Hawk Nest). All the rest of their battles have been wins and now if The Lake can secure a win this Tuesday in Marble Falls and at home against Davenport…then that should give CLHS a 2nd seed going into the playoffs.

The Hawks scored in the first half with a corner kick that had the ball bouncing around like a pin-ball machine for a few seconds when Junior 4Midfielder Ryarose Clark scored her 7th goal of the season with just over a 20 minutes into this game.

                          Let’s Go Lake!

That was when Goalie Callie Dominguez went to work by saving several shots on goals by these Texans.

With the score tied at 1 goal a piece Dominguez was able to just tip a ball over the back of the net that was just inches for a score.

“I was just hoping I would get to it,” Dominguez said when asked what she was thinking as the ball approached the net. “It was just all the way up there (top of the net)….I don’t really think but just react to the ball.”

On keeping the Texans’ to just one goal in two games, “I’ve been just trying to shut them down and my defenders….they’re great and I really appreciate all of them.”

Head Coach Kara Stracener shared her thoughts, “Sometimes it’s hard to score so early in a game because you have so much time to play…but our girls played great…we had a game plan and they did a really good job everybody doing their job collectively.”

Coach Stracener closed, “We talked about the fight in the ‘dog’ tonight and we had some dogs fight and that was what I was most proud of…”

Canyon Lake will be back in action this Tuesday in Marble Falls a team fighting for that 4th seed and then Friday at home against Davy.

Keep those dogs fighting as this regular season closes out!

Go Hawks & BEAT MARBLE FALLS!

                            GO HAWKS!!

One of those busiest weeks is now in the books and that had CLake’s Lady Soccer team finishing with a win over Bandera and tie with the Texans. That tie was the 2nd of the season against a team that shows just one loss to a Louisiana school and two ties (which came against your Hawks).

A solid 3rd seed with a chance of taking a 2nd seed if The Lake can sweep Marble Falls on the road and Davenport at home this Friday. Let’s GO LAKE!

Softball finished with a hard fought loss to Blanco and then finished their Friday game run ruling Killeen Chaparrals, 11-1 which now sets up one more non-district game with Llano on Tuesday and then a road game against Wimbo.

                  Way to Go Hawks!!

Track & Field will be at Lago Vista this Thursday with Field Events & 3200 meter run starting at 1:00pm and the Lady Hawks will be searching their 3rd straight Meet win. After beating some large schools last week in Pleasanton that had Kerrville and La Vernia in that mix.

The Ladies (191 points) had a first place in 10 events which set the stage for a 62 point margin of victory over Kerrville who finished second followed by La Vernia.

Hawk Baseball Varsity will have a one game week this Friday when the face an undefeated Crystal City (10-0) with first pitch coming after the Green Team sets the stage at 4:30pm.

One more week of non-district contests next Monday and then a tough district slate starts up when The Lake goes across the Backbone to play Wimbo on March 25th.

Hit’em-kick’em Hard Hawks!

                             Go Hawks!

A pretty good week at The Lake that just passed. Baseball finished 3-1-1, Softball 5-1, Girls Soccer beat Freddie, Hawk Relays had some PR’s for several Hawksters, and Boys Golf finished 2nd in a two day Tourney against 4-5-6A school.

Baseball/Softball had two players pitch no-hitters….Aubrey Long (against Natalia) and Carter Williams (against San Angelo Central). These two players also contributed in the batter’s box with home-runs.

The Comal Clash starts this week on Thursday at 730p when The Lake clashes against Holliday. Two games on Friday with start time at 5pm followed at 7pm for the nightcap.

Softball is finished with tournaments and now enters 7 inning contests with Blanco (Tuesday) and Killeen Chaparral (Friday) both at the Hawk Nest.

                            Let’s Go Lake!

The Lady Hawk’s win over Freddie solidified their district standings chances in punching their ticket for the post-season. The Billies are fighting for a spot but The Lake will possess the tie-breaker after sweeping Fredericksburg.

Track & Field had some good results for the Lady Hawks and The ReSporter will have an article posted this week while the tricksters head to Pleasanton this Thursday.

Hawk Boys Golf will be teeing it off on Tuesday at Vaaler Creek and will hopefully riding the success achieved this past week.

Come out to support a bevy of sports at the Hawk Nest & GO LAKE!
