Canyon Lake Girls Soccer won their last non-district game over La Vernia, 2-0 at the Hawk Nest on Tuesday night.

A good win as the last few games have had this team finding it hard to get a win as last Saturday, a loss to Liberty Hill and then a string of games that ended in tied scores.

“We played hard and tough,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney said. “I have been extremely proud of our defense lately as they stayed on marks and lock down offensive players and it makes it hard to get shots on goal.”

The Hawks made up for a 1 all tie in their last tilt against the Bears almost a month ago.

CL now will start their tough district slate this Friday on the road at Boerne.

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

Canyon Lake Lady’s Basketball lost their Friday game with Wimberley but with Gonzales taking some lumps from Navarro guaranteed CL to qualify after this Tuesday’s game.

Stay tuned to Hilltop and we will get you info on where and who the Hawks will be playing.

Congratulations!!

Likewise, the Boy’s Basketball squad finished the week 1-1 and will take on La Vernia this Tuesday.

The Hawks would settle things with an upset over the Bears this Tuesday.

Canyon Lake will have one other game a week later against Yoakum and the Bulldogs helped the Hawks cause immensely when they lost their game to Cuero last Friday.

The Boys team is coupled with CL’s Boys Soccer as the only team sport to yet make it out of district play by qualifying for playoffs.

Hawk Soccer has started to make some noise this season as they sport a 7-4 record and presently on a 5 game winning streak.

That will be the same until district starts up in two weeks and finding a way to also qualify for the playoffs would make this season one of the best in Hawk Sport’s history.

This week CL beat a high caliber team in San Marcos Academy on Tuesday and then followed that win with their first home win on Friday over Burnet.

CL’s Girls Soccer finished this past week with 2 ties with one of those games having the Hawks coming back from a 3 goal deficit.

Softball is still in exhibition stage with Harper’s game this Tuesday being the last game before contests start counting.

Baseball will also be starting this week as the Spring Schedule starts to get interesting.

The Varsity Tennis will have their first competition this Friday as they will travel to Georgetown’s Kerry Minzenmayer Classic.

There has to be a sport you can come and support this year’s Spring edition for Hawk sports.

Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake Girls Soccer won a tied game when they came from 3 goals down to knot the score as time expired on Tuesday night against Burnet, 3-3.

Burnet jumped out to a 3 goal lead and had CL on their heels until an awakening happened allowing this comeback.

“The girls played aggressive last night and the first half was rough for us offensively,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney said. “We had opportunities but could not put the ball in the net.”

Coach Tierney was commenting on that first half where the Hawks found themselves digging a hole that would be hard to escape from.

“The girls dug deep and made a decision as a unit to fight,” Coach Tierney got excited. “Rachel Bennet sent a the ball to Meredith Ellery who then scored off her left foot and Captain Chloe Cullen fired a shot into the back of the net inside the 18 yard box bringing the score to 2-3.”

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

Canyon Lake had a decent week in court last week as both Varsity teams won needed games as their district race matures into the latter stages.

The Lady Hawks needed a win over Yoakum as they now have a legit chance of making the playoffs.

That chance will be front and center this Tuesday as CL will travel to Gonzales for another must win as it was the Apache’s who won the first contest the first of January.

Canyon Lake showed in their last game they have some fire power scoring over 70 points and having several players contributing.

That game will need to be repeated again this week for the Girls as they showed during the first round with a winnable game against Navarro.

Playing at home on Friday might be that little extra needed to carry that game in the win column for the home team.

A sweep will make a mark and a break even week will give the Hawks more must win games in the weeks to come.

Canyon Lake Boys finished the first round 3-3 and if that can be repeated then a ticket to the playoffs would be next.

The Hawks have proven they could win more as they too played Navarro to the end earlier this year.

For CL to realize a better record the Hawks will need to not let up on any quarter as last Friday’s game the energy level was good enough for Yoakum but that same energy will be losses to the 3 teams presently ahead of them in the standings.

This second round of games will have Navarro and Wimberley playing at the Hawk Nest and that ingredient might be a missing link that could carry CL to a surprising finish.

Girls Soccer finished last week with a 1-0-1 record and this team certainly broke out with a 9 goal game on Friday beating Pleasanton.

“This game was a great confidence booster for our team,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney said.  “Every game I ask my girls to go have fun playing the game they fell in love with.”

That was certainly evident in this win as Canyon Lake got a goal from six different ladies.

“I feel the girls genuinely love each other and want to see everyone be successful,” Coach Tierney said. “ This game proves we play a team game, the way it’s meant to be played.”

Coach Tierney was making a point on this years club. The Hawks will be on the road this week and both games are very winnable and if CL can get these two wins, then they will be 6-2-1 going into their last week of non-district games.

The Boys Soccer team finished 1-1 this past week after playing a potent Giddings team and then getting back on track with a win over Pleasanton.

CL Boys Soccer will be on the road this week with games with La Vernia and Lampasas as this non-district schedule will come to a close after next week’s games.

Canyon Lake presently sports a 3-4 record and will look to improve on that mark in these next 4 games.

Go Hawks!!

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

The Hawks will make or break this week for both the Girls and Boys roundball as this Friday the Yoakum game will give a good indication on chances for this year having extra games for both clubs.

For the Lady Hawks, their game with Yoakum already has one game in the win column. This second game has to be even more convincing.

That would instill confidence for a team in need of that ingredient as CL engages their last round of district games.

For the Boys, Canyon Lake will have a chance of evening their district contests at 3-3 and with those three wins the Hawks can match their most wins for district conquests.

The ’09-’10 and last years club both reached the 3 win plateau leaving this set of games in reach for higher goals.

Canyon Lake has shown they can reach higher in the realm of games won and that might also help this year’s team to an actual playoff contest.

Finishing would be the operative word for the Hawks going into the next round of district games.

Start to finish, not only in a game but also in their quest of realizing a goal that has yet been reached.

More sports will start to get active as January comes into the latter stages.

For Soccer, the Hawks, have both boys and girls relishing with chances of making marks as district comes calling in February.

Right now CL has the Boys with a 2-4 record and girls wading the waters with a 2-3 stint so far.

Last week Boy’s Soccer had a 1-1 record with a win over Burnet and loss to Liberty Hill.

This week Canyon Lake will host Giddings on Tuesday for their first home game and then take the road once again to Pleasanton for another chance of beating the Eagles.

For the Girl’s Soccer Team, the Hawks scored 6 goals in their game with SA Cole.

Those scores came from 3 Sophomores as Alexa Ramos had a hat trick.

Canyon Lake finished their tournament in Pleasanton 2-1 giving the Hawks a 3-1 record for their week of play.

The Hawk Girl’s Soccer team will be on the road this Tuesday against La Vernia and then welcome their first home game on Friday when Pleasanton comes to town.

Softball will start their practice this week and will be preparing for their first scrimmages on February 4th.

Baseball and Track is also right around the corner with several Hawk teams ready for action.

Go Hawks!!
