Issy Fory & Abby Lowth were recognized in Win over KIPP-Austin in Lake Classic Tournament.

Canyon Lake’s Lady Soccer had another successful week after sweeping their opponents in CL’s Classic Tournament.

                   Congrats Lake Soccer!

Two Soccer Polls in Texas are filled with schools from Region IV District 26 which happens to be where Canyon Lake resides.

In the TGCA Poll Canyon Lake is presently at #2 followed by Wimberley (4th), Davenport (7th) and Marble Falls (13th).

Fredericksburg was ranked 20th last week but suffered a loss last week that dropped the Billies. But looking at these schools all in the same district tells you how a tough climb it is to finish first.

Max-Preps has Wimberley atop this Poll the Davenport (3rd) followed by Canyon Lake (6th), Marble Falls (14th) and none of these schools will be sighing with relief playing in Fredericksburg.

Go Hawks & Congrats on Tourney Win!

Long Creek is the new school this year and they too have crafted a winning record.

Placing in the top 4 will certainly will give these teams another date in playing one of their neighbors during the post-season.

That almost happened during last year’s campaign if a Hawk win over London would have played Wimberley for the Region IV title.

The Lake tied the Texans in both of their district contests last year.

Canyon Lake will play their final non-district battle against Floresville (6-1-1) who ranks 14th & 24th in the TGCA and Max-Preps Poll.

                       Canyon Lake Hawks celebrating Championship I-10 Shoot Out Trophy!

               Congrats Lady Hawks!

The Canyon Lake Hawk’s Lady Soccer Team (5-0) has the longest Canyon Lake Sports Teams streak of making post-season and has shot out this season with their best start which included a sweep in the I-10 Shootout in Houston this past week finishing with a Championship trophy.

“The first few weeks of season has been spent figuring out who fits best and where, what formation best suits this group, seeing who will step into those leadership roles that were vacated,” Head Coach Kara Stracener stated. “We are getting close to figuring these things out after five games.”

With this fast start, it was that first contest of the season, that produced their best win when the Hawks outraced La Vernia, 9-6. These Bears finished with a 24-2 record last season which included a shut-out (2-0) win over your Hawks while reaching the Semi-Regional round in the playoffs.

         Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

“The first La Vernia game was fun because of all the goals, but we struggled defensively, which we are figuring that piece out….all three of our seniors were defenders last year,” Coach Stracener recounted.

On winning this past tournament Coach Stracener gave her two cents, “As far as this weekend, the girls dominated the competition. Distracted the pace of the games. Starting to play more cohesive soccer. Still lots to work as we prepare for this weekend and district.”

Stephen F. Austin future star, Savanna Oberholtzer helped with that domination this past week scoring 10 goals and Bella Biasatti pitched in scoring 6 goals for the Hawks.

La Vernia will be in Canyon Lake’s cross hairs again this week with a 12 Noon start on Thursday to start the Canyon Lake Classic tournament.

A great start for this Hawk team that looks to continuing their streak of games and post-season adventures again this season.

                                  Way to Go Hawks!

The Winter Sports are going strong with soccer starting the beginning of this year. At this writing the Lady Soccer Team is undefeated with a good resume win over La Vernia that turned out to be a scoring fest as The Lake outscored the Bears, 9-6… that had Savanna Oberholtzer leading the way with seven goals and one assist along with Avery Norris, Bella Biasatti each with a goal and Abby Lowth, Macey Gil helping with one assist a piece.

These Hawks sport a 4-0 record as they are competing in the I-10 Shootout in Houston this week.

Girls Basketball continues to be a work in progress as they ready themselves for district play tonight (Friday) while the Boy’s Basketball team start up later next week after they finish their non-district schedule tonight in Comfort.

==========================

UPDATE:

The ReSporter was informed bout a recent graduate who achieved high praise during the Fall Cross Country Season.

Division I ACCAC Cross Country Awards

Female Athlete of the Year – Hannah Hammer, Central Arizona College, 
Hammer earned three ACCAC DI Runner of the Week honors, finished 19th at nationals, and placed second at the Region I/ACCAC Championships.

Savanna Oberholtzer signs Soccer Scholarship with SFA flanked by her Dad (Mark) & Mom (Sherry).

Savanna Oberholtzer picked SFA as her next stop for her Soccer and school studies.

Savanna had already been spoken for after Lubbock Christian offered a place on their team but things got turned around recently after Coach Ben Morrison was recently hired as a SFA Coach which was a deal maker for the Lumberjacks.

“I knew the coaches and when they reached out I went there and loved everything it was nice and I will look forward to continue working on my game and keep playing there.”

On what Savanna plans to do in class? “Nursing,” said like a player dribbling down the field with an open net.

Savanna has been a trail blazer for The Lake Soccer team after becoming the all-time scorer last season passing Maddie (her sister) Oberholtzer last season.

Head Coach Kara Stracener shared her thoughts, “She is not one dimensional…in my 25 years of coaching she is in my top 3 athletes and all of those players played on a Division I College.” Coach Stracener continued, “She is important and great for our team and has raised our other players. Running track and being on the cheer team makes her a more rounded athlete when combined. As well as getting to 108 goals and 27 assists in her years at Canyon Lake.

Mark (Dad) Oberholzer shared his thoughts on this momentous day, “I’m so proud of her….she has worked her whole life for this. People see the end product when she competes but it is her whole work ethics seeing her working hard and wanting to be the best.”

“She is very competitive and playing soccer allows her to get physical on the field and when she is knocked down she gets right back up and ready to be in charge,” Sherry (Mom) Oberholtzer quipped. “She has always been in charge!”

                         Way to Go Savanna!

Savanna came to high school and took her soccer-track-cheer teams to new heights competing at the State Level whether it’s field events or running relays and 100-200 meter dash.

With her uncanny way of throwing a soccer ball with her somersault acrobatics to breaking the 12 second (11.99) 100 meter a full half second faster than CL’s #2 Alysha Perez 12.46 back in 2017. Savanna has the best long jump 18-02.75 and is presently in 3rd place for the triple jump (36-02.50) and as a team player she has been on The Lake’s All-Time Best for the 4×100 & 4×200 relay teams. Both of those relays are 2 seconds better than those 2nd place relay teams.

Canyon Lake will certainly be in the running in all of these sports above this year and chance to catch this Lumberjack taking down some trees on her way to higher lofty goals.

Way to Go Savanna & Go Lake ~ Go Lumberjacks!

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!

                        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!
