The ReSporter: I know the score was the same as last time you played Canyon, what

This Soccer Coaches Corner is brought to you by Dan Krueger running for County Commissioner Pct. 4

positives did you take away from last night’s game?

Coach Erich Robinson: “Keeping in mind that Canyon will probably be 6A next season the score was 7-0.  I feel that we got to really see areas that we need improvements in. We tried a different defensive strategy the second half and will continue to address this area.  In addition, our counter attack needs some tweaking as well as supporting our offensive attack.”

The ReSporter: How much of an improvement have you seen with the team so far this season?

Canyon Lake will be playing their last game for the season this Tuesday night

Canyon Lake Girls Basketball will be in their last game of this season on Tuesday at the Hawk gym.

This has been a rebuilding year for CL as this team has featured Freshman and Sophomores and with that came a lot of growing pains.

On Tuesday night the Hawk Nation will be saying good-bye to Amber Ramsey, Emily Muniz, Cati Harrington, Brianna Young, and Jenna Lann.

Come out this Tuesday night to let these girls know your appreciation for representing Canyon Lake.

The Hawk Boy’s Basketball team will be on the road as they play out their season with only 3 games remaining. Their next home game will be a week from this Tuesday which will also be their season finale.

The ReSporter is now in its fourth year of covering Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian schools. The ReSporter has just finished it’s 1,043rd article and has also had 62,039 visits and 162,238 pages read as of February 5, 2014 stats.

As you know, this site is free for those who would like to frequent these pages after a sporting event. The ReSporter would like to introduce you to a new ‘Ad’ that was added about 10 days ago.

First off, do know that many of the advertisers on this site services The ReSporter’s household and there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that these Companies and people would treat you as well as I am treated by their services.

The ReSporter needs the audience that relies on this coverage to help out by telling these companies/people that you saw their ‘Ad’ on this site.

That way The ReSporter can keep up this coverage as the fall season looms right around the corner.

The money that is raised through our Advertisers goes to gas money, cost for maintenance for this site, and hopefully enough to put away for just cost of living increases.

If this is not realized, then there is a chance that The ReSporter might close shop before the start of next school year.

Just making it known that letting the Advertisers know that they are seen on this site will certainly help with getting, by word of mouth, other companies to also think about advertising with The ReSporter.

Jerry Besselman has been a face that many fans have seen at any Hawk Sporting event that would involve refreshing your tastes.

The ReSporter went on a search to find someone that might have been to more games and events that wasn’t a player or Coach. Besselman fit that bill as the man behind the counter where you will find liquids or food to keep that Hawk fan strong enough to end the game and yelling on their Hawk team flavor of that event.

The ReSporter had an opportunity to get with Besselman at the end of a Hawk Softball game for a formal introduction to you the fan.

The ReSporter: Hey Jerry are you having fun?

Jerry Besselman: “Yes, I get to be around students and they all know my name.”

The ReSporter: Do they know you as Jerry or Besselman?

Jerry Besselman: “There was a time when Coach Nicole Creek needed to get a hold of me to change a time of a game or something like that and she was wanting to look up my phone number. She could not find me because she knew me by my first name. So yes, I’m thinking most of the students and teachers just know me by my first name.”

The ReSporter: Coach Katie McWhorter has just completed her first year as Canyon Lake’s Girls Soccer and we would first like to congratulate you and your team for making the playoffs this season.

Give us your overall assessment of this season?

Coach McWhorter: “I am very proud of this season. My girls worked very hard, and despite some inexperience on the team and many injuries, we managed to come in third place in our district and make it to playoffs.”

The ReSporter: With so many players on your squad, tell us how this might be a great building block for future campaigns.

Coach McWhorter: “This season was my first at Canyon Lake, and I am definitely hoping that this season is the beginning of something special for Canyon Lake soccer. It will be hard losing our seniors, but I am looking forward to seeing the new crop of talent from the middle school, and also seeing my current girls develop into stronger, more skilled players.”

This Week in Hawk Country, CL has a Playoff game at home against Boerne Champion who finished second in District 54-4A.

Canyon Lake Girls Soccer earned this right when they tied Wimberley in their regular season final last Friday night.

Lady Hawks Soccer Team are now going where no CL Team Sport has gone in these past two years,

Two Football years
Two Basketball years
Two Volleyball years
….you get the idea, it has been a while for the Hawks and now hopefully there might be more sports to follow.

Yes, Canyon Lake has finished higher in Track and Field these past couple of years, but Track doesn’t go as a team after district has finished.

The Hawks needed a win for finishing in third place outright, but another tie would have a different way of determining how these two teams would be put in their respected playoff brackets.

So, Head Coach Katie McWhorter would need to win a coin flip to decide which team might face the 6th ranked team in State for their first round opponent.

Both teams could only muster a goal a piece for this dramatic finish. No, not a penalty kick, just a coin flip.

“I was able to call the flip,” Coach McWhorter said. “Before I called the coin toss, I asked my team captains what they wanted me to call. Lauren Justis had to sit out this game due to a concussion, and she and Jasmine Smith have been great leaders for the team this year, so I really felt it was their call to make. Jasmine asked me to call heads, and we ended up winning the tie breaker with that.”

McKenna Beseda making the play

Hawks lost every game played on Tuesday night and so The ReSporter will just do an overall recap for all those games below.

Stats will be for the games that Coaches sent to us.

In Soccer, Canyon Lake Boys continue a season with very few smiley faces to show for their work. As has been mentioned, Soccer has a task of facing larger schools and winning is always a challenge.

That hopes to change in the near future with a new alignment possibility but for now CL is still hoping for a win against Wimberley this Friday as they will close out their season.

Canyon Lake played Dripping Springs tough in their first go around, losing 1-0, but Tuesday night they were outscored 4-0 in the loss.

Girls Soccer has had more success than the boys and will soon have a chance to participate in the postseason after this Friday’s game with Wimberley.

Dripping Springs has a dominant team and once again beat CL, 6-0 which might have been suspected after losing their first game, 8-0. The Springs has clinched first place in District 53-4A play.

Friday is a big day for CL, as a win over Wimberley, will put the Hawks in a game with a second seeded team from District 54-4A.
