                                   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!

GO LAKE & Flatten them like our Pancakes!

Canyon Lake started district play with a win over Fredericksburg, 4-1 for their 10th straight victory.

Last year, The Lake, came into this first contest with the Billies with a lot of confidence opening at home.

That start was a tied battle at 2 goals which led to two more ties (against Wimberley) during district part of their schedule.

CL’s district added Long Creek which results in a 12 game uphill battle as all but one school (Bandera) presently has a .500 or better record.

The Lady Hawks Soccer has had an impressive run during Head Coach Kara Stracener’s 6th years at the helm.

Authentic Canyon Lake says Go Lake & Don’t Forget Valentine’s Day!

With two campaigns reaching 16 wins while already matching CL’s 10 wins during 2023 season. In Stracener’s 6 years she had raked in 80 wins with 43 losses that comes to a .642 winning percentage.

Head Coach Stracener commented bout the Fredericksburg win, “It was a good win to start district. We Struggled to control the game, but obviously were able to convert some of our chances into goals…We were challenged more defensively than we have been all season, so I’m proud of our defense for shutting down Fred’s attack.”

The Lake has ordered a lot more hangers to show off many firsts this season thus far that now has a ten game winning streak but as Coach Stracener commented on seeing a tougher defense with the Billies, then with more schools still to see in a district that presently have 3 teams in the Top 5 and 4 in the Top 10 it is apparent more challenges will be forthcoming.

                  Congrats Lady Hawks!

Savanna Olberholtzer led the team with 3 goals while Bella Biasatti recorded 2 assists and a goal and Senior Jordan Villareal produced an assist to finish the scoring.

Goalkeeper Liza Schexnayder and defender Chylea Gray were rewarded players of the game in this win.

Canyon Lake will be off this Friday and then open their district home schedule next Tuesday February 3rd against Bandera starting at 7:00pm.

The Lake is treading in water that has not been seen by any Hawk sport since the school started after being recognized in one poll as the #1 team in the state.

But with that caveat you will be seeing tough district play each week that has 3 other schools also hanging with impressive resumes to show-off to their fans. Sooo buckle up and Go Lake!

                          Plug those Leaks Lake!

Canyon Lake will have a frigid start to district play this Tuesday against an always tough Fredericksburg Billies squad.

But for this season thus far, The Hawks, have been hot with their longest winning streak and starting district play undefeated.

The schools in The Lake’s district have garnered an impressive resume and Fredericksburg will be a good indicator as Freddie’s four losses have come against teams that have a combined 29-9-4 record which gives an idea of how this will be an all out road war.

                 Go Lake Beat Freddie!

In fact, this district will have several evenings without a win just by walking out on the soccer field of play.

The top 4 District 26-4A schools have a combined 33-2-3 (.908) non-district record and have accumulated 174 goals while allowing an anemic 22 before district gets going this week to their opponents.

Need more? Wimberley has played the toughest schedule (.711), Davenport (.571), Marble Falls (.514)  and The Lake (.500).

                   Way to GO HAWKS!

The ReSporter had a chance of catching up with Coach Kara Stracener for her thoughts as CLake enters their next phase of the season.

The ReSporter: Across the board what does it mean to this program to finish undefeated after non district games?

Coach Stracener: “I think this is the first time we’ve been undefeated going into district play which is exciting.  We have been playing well and improving every time we step on the field.  Every season will bring adversity, and the girls know that and are prepared for what our tough district will bring!”

The ReSporter:  And did you get what you wanted in preparation for district? 

Coach Stracener: “I think I would have liked to have seen some tougher teams           because our district has some of the best in 4A in the state, but going into district playing with confidence is also important.”  

                            Go Lake!

The ReSporter: This is ‘hands down’ the toughest district in the State at any classification. Do you have nightmares before each battle?

Coach Stracener: “I think this is one of the best Canyon Lake teams I’ve coached, so it just shows you that all the teams in our district are improving as we improve.  Iron sharpens iron, so each game is always a battle, but it will prepare those lucky enough to make it into the top 4, which is our goal.”

The ReSporter: And if you have sane moments…what gives you those thoughts when thinking about this team? 

Coach Stracener: “I don’t have nightmares…just have remind myself that this is a game, and we play because we love it and the competition is exciting.  But at the end of the day, it’s a blessing to get to compete.  Not everyone gets to do this…”

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 LAKE!

                                  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.

                         Let’s GO LAKE!

Hannah Hammer performs for Central Arizona College after her successful time with Canyon Lake High School as part of an excellent Ladies Track Team that won District and Area Meets last season.

During Hammer’s 4 years on the Lake’s Cinders she made her presence known for The All-Time Top 10 Hawk Athletes list.

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.
