Hawks win at Wimberley, 3-1 to keep chance for a District Title.    Go Lake!

          Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Canyon Lake’s Ladies Soccer Made Wimberley UPSET-3-1 in a payback contest avenging that first district round loss for The Lake, 3-1.

The Hawks scored first in that first contest and Wimberley scored 3 goals in the second half for a win. Wimberley scored first during that second contest and The Lake responded scoring 3 goals in that second.

The ReSporter has this road win ranked in the Top 3 of All-Time including all Lake sports.

Looking at the rankings based on MaxPreps’ matrix below can give a good idea the distance between these two schools….yes, MaxPreps is by no means 100% accurate but seeing how they have info on schools all over…it does share an area code worth of schools with an approximate estimation.

Rankings      Canyon Lake    Wimberley
National          295           111
Texas              80             9
Section Region 4   29             6
Division 4A         4             1

These Texans certainly had an impressive resume by looking below showing just one team played, Lockhart… being under water record wise and not having any post-season aspirations.

Canyon Lake now has won a contest that shows they too might be in a position for a good run this playoff season.

                    Way to Go Lake!

“These girls are pretty humble but hard working…and honestly I am pretty hard on them,” Head Coach Kara Stracener stated. “I hope after last night and beating a really good team like Wimberley it brings them a new confidence going into these last few games of district and into post-season.”

Confidence would be that key word for this win as The Lake’s 3 goals was also the most scored against these Texans this season.

Savanna Oberholtzer scored the first two goals to start that 2nd Half and now has reached 54 with still 3 more district battles to add to her record setting season.

                   High Noon says GO LAKE!

“We knew that wasn’t our best half,” Oberholtzer stated when asked about being behind going into halftime. “It was s reality check and we set out to get to every ball first and then try to score.”

Oberholtzer scored two second half goals within an 8 minute span and then Kylee Morrow had a crowning shot from 25 yards from the left side of the goal that curved right over the Texan Goalies hands settling at the right-side of the goal with right at 4 minutes remaining.

“We were all excited,” Oberholtzer quipped when seeing Morrow’s shot. “This is a huge rivalry and it was exciting to see that we have a chance to finish first in district if we can win our next three games.”

               Way to Go Lake Soccer!

Coach Stracener’s parting shots, “Two of our goals were from over 25 yards and Kylee is a very unselfish and will pass many times over shooting….Glad she chose to shoot tonight cuz we needed her too. Like last time we played them we wanted to make it a messy game. Not allow them to get into a rhythm and try to frustrate them. We ‘weathered the storm’ the first half. Wimberley came out Very Strong and we struggled to get control of the middle….but halftime was a good reset and the girls did a fantastic job of digging deep and fighting back till the end. We played a good full 80 minutes this time around.”

Canyon Lake Hawk Proud!

Now The lake’s season goals are still attainable with this win having a chance for a district championship, going further in the playoffs and Canyon Lake’s 2026 squad now took the sole lead with wins in a season sitting with 17 so far.

The Hawks still have 3 games remaining and none of these battles will be a cakewalk which will equate in needing 3 more complete 80 minutes of game time.

Congrats and Way to GO LAKE!

            Don’t use your Hands in Soccer Lake!

The Lake ended last week with mixed review for Softball that is still working on making strides in preparation for district season as this young squad continues with wins & losses as reps remain the focus.

Baseball had a successful tournament by sweeping 4 opponents and you read that article on this site’s home page.

This week Baseball sub-varsity will venture to Lytle for a double header as CL’s Green & Gold team play on Monday.

Varsity Baseball has another 4 game tournament at home with Beeville visiting The Lake 730p to open the Comal Clash. Two games on Friday with Corpus Christi Moody (230a) and Tuloso-Midway (730a). Then Saturday will be determined with a team that played at one of the other Comal Schools this week.

                 Way to GO HAWKS!
Don’t forget to VOTE this week!

Track & Field showed improvement for this year[s boy team adding some depth and overall improvement overall. The Ladies won the Panther Relays in Navarro as this group of ladies continue to up their game as they get through this month. This Thursday the Hawks will be at Davenport and then will take their Spring Break off.

The Lady Soccer Squad will venture to Wimberley to face #1 Ranked Wimbo who won that first round contest, 3-1. With a win The Lake could tie for first if both schools run the table like the first round of contests. The Lake is also ranked 4th MaxPreps & 6th Girls Coaches Poll.

A lot of activities for The Hawk Nation so you can come out to support this year’s Lake Athletes or maybe even venture over to Wimberley to catch a great battle of Soccer….

& Let’s Go Lake!

        Go Hawks & Beat the Texans!

The Lake set the table with an early release (mercy win) over Bandera in their, 9-0 game last Friday which now sets up another battle this Tuesday with Wimberley. These two schools have already clinched a post-season invite.

A battle of top 6 teams according to two Texas Polls. The Texans are ranked first in MaxPreps snd The Lake coming in with a 4th place ranking.

While these two schools fight for the top district spot those other District 26-4A Schools have 4 teams battling it out for those last two playoff spots.

                 Congrats Lake Soccer!

Right now Davenport (13 pts) leads presently and Long Creek (12 pts), Fredericksburg (10 pts) and Marble Falls (5 pts) looking for a good week to get in that running.

Canyon Lake will have a pivotal meeting against the Texans after losing, 3-1 during that first round. CL did have a one goal lead at halftime but let that second stanza get away with them as Wimbo took advantage of 3 penalty kicks leading to that loss.

Last week’s Bandera win put your Hawks at 16 wins tying their 2021 & 2024 season totals and breaking that milestone against a highly ranked opponent would put this team in rarefied air to put it lightly.

Make history Hawks and with the table being set it is now time to dine.

Let’s Go Lake!

                       High Noon says GO LAKE!

A lot of happenings last week with more on the way for another busy week for The Lake’s High School.

Check out The ReSporter article on Tennis as this group of Hawk Athletes had a successful two days in San Marcos with several players placing 3rd & 2nd and some close calls. (Pardon the Pun)

Boys Basketball finished their season being outside the playoff picture that could have had better results but this team lost 83 games for the top 8 players due to injury. Certainly a MASH unit this season.

Softball is in the midst of some growing pains while Baseball finished the week with a, 4-2 record with 4 more on their slate this week. All will be at the Hawk Nest.

Track & Field hosted the Hawk Relays and the Ladies started where they left off last year and won scoring 152 points with some good marks for their Junior Varsity and room for more improvement for the Varsity.

                         Let’s GO LAKE!

The Boys Track & Field have lapped last year’s team with a good showing with a 5th place showing and some athletes shuffling into the Top Ten with their efforts with potential for more to come.

This week Track will be in Navarro Panther Relays with start time, 1:00pm.

Girls Soccer are still ranked in the Top 5 in both Texas Polls as they went, 2-0 this past week and one game against Bandera on Friday. That next week will be a battle at Wimberley and a must win for a chance of having a chance of winning the district.

If you see an event and have an inkling then come out and support The Lake’s Hawks!

& Let’s Go Lake!

                             Let’s GO LAKE!

Canyon Lake kept their hold on second place in District 26-4A after sweeping through last week’s contests that included the last & first game of round play.

Both wins were significant in getting a win over Davenport (2-1) the first in 3 games and taking care Fredericksburg (3-1) last Friday sweeping the Billies.

The Lake has an all-time 15-10-4 record and will continue this week at Bandera on Friday.

In CL’s contest with Freddie, was a fast start with 3 goals scored during the first 17 minutes of that first half and gave up one goal the second stanza at the 35 minute mark but held serve the rest of this game and win, 3-1.

                             GO LAKE!

It was a Bella Biasatti ~ Savanna Oberholtzer volley with each player either scoring or giving the other an assist.

That first goal had a flawless pass by Callie Dominguez to Biasatti to Oberholtzer that gave Canyon Lake a lead they would never relinquish at the 38:45 mark.

Two more goals at the 32 & 23 minute would give The Lake a dominating first half of action.

It was that second half the Billies would continued to press but CL’s back row with newcomer Cierra Marsh continued turning back those Freddie attacks and an eventual win.

                          Break the Dam~ Lake!

The rankings below show just how hard it is for entities to be able to grasp schools that play 500 miles from each other with few common opponents for the eye test.

One ranking now has just Wimberley 3rd and CLHS 6th with 3 of those district foes falling past that 25th spot. Certainly a result of battling each other with a loss or win and sliding in rankings.

There is one other 4A district with 2 schools being highly ranked with a fall out with those other schools in that same district.

Right now the point totals have Wimberley leading with 21 points while The Lake reaching 18 points. As for the rest of this group of teams has 4 schools fighting for those other 2 spots in hopes of making the playoffs.

Davenport        10  points
Long Creek        9  points
Fredericksburg    7  points
Marble Falls      5  points

This shows how close these 4 schools are for making or missing post-season.

As for Canyon Lake? A playoff clinching game is right around the corner.
Way to GO LAKE!

                  High Noon says Let’s GO LAKE!!

Last week @ The Lake had a lot of happenings with Ladies Basketball ending the season while the Boys Basketball will be playing their final contest Tuesday in Bandera.

The injury ‘BUG’ (Camel Spider) hit this year’s boy’s round ball with over 60 games lost due to injuries which had a big role in seeing this team getting crushed by a Coconut Crab.

Ladies Soccer got back on track with two wins and a game Tuesday against Davenport will complete the first round of games. The Billies will be at the Hawk Nest this Friday as the 4th/7th ranked Hawks keep sights on a possible district title.

Softball started this year with a young team that has a slew of Freshman/Sophomores penciled in all through the line-up.

Baseball will debut tonight on the road in Devine where The Lake will look to win their 8th straight opening season contest. A Sinton tournament will end the week for this baseball crew.

Track & Field will host the Hawk Relays on Thursday as there were a lot of bright spots for both Boys & Ladies with several athletes making their mark in entering the All-Time Top-Ten list.

Which is an important aspect for this sport that relies on being at your best when the district meet comes calling to make a trail for Austin at the UIL State Meet.

The ladies are picked by the San Antonio Newspaper at their favorite to win their second district title. That feat has never happened in any sport for The Lake where there was a back-to-back accomplishment of that magnitude.

It looked much like those two bugs mentioned above. Let’s Go, Camel Spider & Coconut Crab!

& Let’s Go Lake!

        Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Canyon Lake took care of business after suffering their first and only loss this year against Wimberley.

The Lake followed that showing beating Long Creek (4-0) and Marble Falls (3-0) in this past week of action. These past two battles now has CLHS alone in 2nd Place in a district loaded with quality opponents.

There is one last district game in the first round this Tuesday as securing 4 spots for the playoffs will be an all out brawl with all but one school eliminated. (unless Bandera goes undefeated….)

This past week had Fredericksburg beating Davenport (1-0) which presented a scenario for the Billies making a move to be one of those 4 teams.

                 Way to Go Lake Soccer!

Marble Falls continues to search for a win and will need to turn their two ties into wins for a chance to get back into this dogfight.

The Lake will finish their first round against an always tough Davenport team that are smarting with that loss to the Billies with a pronounced chip on their shoulder.

With a win, Davenport, could move to 3rd place or a Hawk win leaving the Wolves tied for 4th place with Freddie.

The Hawks need to keep pressing for another chance to dethrone the Texans on the road in two weeks.

Yes, a lot of scenarios as this last half of district play gets going on Friday. Teams being in a wait and watch to see results on how those schools move up or down on this roller-coaster ride.
Let’s Go Lady Hawks!!

                                   Way to GO LAKE!

Some tough losses during last week’s contests with boys basketball and girls soccer came up short but for basketball the Boys are still hanging on needing to win two of three remaining games for securing a post-season invite.

That would have a potential tie with Fredericksburg but the tie-breaker would go to The Lake based on two wins over the Billies if they accomplish their two of three victories.

For the Lady Soccer team their script still has a lot of lines with district just getting started and this tough district will have pitfalls for the majority of the schools and Canyon Lake’s loss was to a #1 Texan team.

Now The Lake Soccer will need to focus as Long Creek tied Davenport and beat Marble Falls showing this is certainly an upstart team and nothing is guaranteed….and then a battle on the road with The Falls on Friday will be another hurdle to clear.

                                    Let’s GO LAKE!

Softball gets going this week starting with Elgin on Tuesday with the Wurst Tournament starting on Thursday at the Hawk Nest with two games on Thursday & Friday with a ‘To Be Determined’ contest on Saturday at Noon.

Baseball started scrimmages last week and the first pitch is in a couple of weeks as Coach Escamilla fine tunes Pitching~Fielding~Batting in hope for an another successful season.

Track & Field will begin this Friday with the Comal Relays where CLake will see how they stack up against larger schools and the Lady Tracksters have a chance to repeat as District Champs with another solid core of athletes with sights on qualifying for Austin again this year.

Looking at the above week gives The Hawk Nation an idea of where they can take in a lot of sports to support,

Let’s Go Lake!

Time for (some Jethro Bodine) deciphering after first week of The Lake’s Ladies Soccer escapades.

The two polls below have been released and Canyon Lake went down from #1 to #2 in the Girls Coaches Association Poll. This is despite The Hawks winning their only contest in convincing fashion over Fredericksburg, 4-1.

Girls Coaches Association Poll
1) Celina           7-1-1
2) Canyon Lake     10-0-0
3) Life Waxahachie 14-0-1
4) Wimberley       10-1-1
5) Salado          12-1-0

The MaxPreps Poll:
1) Wimberley       10-1-1
2) Celina           7-1-1
3) Life Waxahachie 14-0-1
4) Canyon Lake     10-0-0
5) Davenport        9-2-0

Davenport (1-1) and Marble Falls (0-2) made the furtherest drop this week where Davy is now 19th after losing to the Texans and the Mustangs completely dropped form the top 25 list. What seems odd is MFalls dropped with a one goal loss to Wimbo (0-1) and newbie Long Creek.

           Congrats Lake Lady Hawk’s Soccer! 

So these high rankings seem to still be in a ‘we don’t really know’ time of season.

Long Creek put their name in the hat when they shut-out Marble Falls posing another school ready to make a mark.

It’s simple knowing that a district as loaded as CL’s has potential of seeing all these teams drop if their circular firing squad with District 26-4A schools beating each other with each week of battles.

The ReSporter would put more confidence in the MaxPreps Poll as that seems more in tune as a power poll and not based on opinions like the Coaches Poll.

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Time will tell as this week The Lake will have Senior night this Tuesday when they welcome Bandera to the Hawk Nest and then this Friday will be a showdown playing Wimberley in a battle between two top 4 opponents.

The Lake tied Wimberley in both of their outings last season for a team who played on the Final Four last season.

Having all four schools getting to a Regional Semi-Final round that would have District 26-4A teams playing in a final four semi-round.

Should be a fun run to March when the best rise to the top.

                              Go Hawks!

Canyon Lake had an up and down week with Boys (spilt their games) & Girls Basketball are playing for next season. The Boys Friday loss put a big dent in making the post-season that will make the second round of district contests with no room for making mistakes on winning those doable battles.

Boys & Girls Soccer was up and down as the Boys still trying to get their game in gear while the Ladies stayed undefeated with their win over Freddie as district is in full gear.

CL’s Lady Soccer is in the toughest district in Texas for the 4A Classification and reached #1 in one of the two polls which is a first for any Canyon Lake sports to reach that goal.

Now The Lake’s Ladies will me in a mine field playing through their schedule starting this Tuesday for a Senior Night battle with Bandera and then a match-up with another school (Wimberley) in district that has reached #1 in that other poll.

Those Spring Sports are getting in full gear as you can look above and see Baseball~Softball~Tennis and soon The Lake’s Track will start in the middle of this month.

Keep supporting these Local Athletes and Let’s GO LAKE!
