Lady Hawks Soccer clinched a spot for the post season with a 6-0 wipeout over Seguin on Friday night.

Christina Fowler was a scoring machine with five of the Canyon Lakes points. Lauren Justis had the other score on this record night.

Now CL has a chance of finishing third with a victory over Wimberley to end their regular season later this month.

It has been almost two years since a CL team has had a chance to order Playoff T-Shirts and now the toughest job might be trying to find the number for that T-Shirt company.

Assists for Canyon Lake were Kaitlin Wier, Michelle Panek, Morgan Boles-Crumrine.

Goalkeeper Wynne Clark had four saves in the shut-out and now the Hawks will work on their game as they prepare for another season—Post Season.

Congrats….now finish the season strong Hawks!!

Canyon Lake will be baseball central this week as your Hawks will entertain four teams from around the state for the Comal ISD Tournament. There will other games played at the Hawk field so if you want to take in other games, then contact Comal Athletic Department.

Head Golf Coach Greg Norris

The Hawks had a decent week of games with a couple of run ruled games in the Lockhart Tournament and also a good competitive game with Marble Falls on opening night.

This is not the same team that has graced Hawk Field in recent years as both Varsity and JV are having some great results with depth out the wazoo.

The Varsity finished their tournament 3-0 by winning Saturday over Austin Lanier.

CLJV baseball team had a win over Wimberley on Friday night and have several players that deserve some attention.

Girls Soccer also had a significant win this past week taking on and beating Seguin, 4-0. Soccer does not have as many teams as other sports so CL plays in a 4A division with other brought up 3A squads.

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks won a pivotal game Tuesday night against Seguin, 4-0 in what could be a landmark contest as this season continues.

To recap this district season, all you need to know is that Canyon Lake needs to beat one team to get them into a playoff spot.

Right now Seguin might be that odd team out which could usher your Hawks into a good situation and another ‘can win’ game with Wimberley might even secure that spot.

“We came out strong,” Head Coach Katie McWhorter started. “We scored our first goal within the first minute of the game.”

Whatever butterflies that might been around was soon a thing of the past as CL took that opportunity to play on the offensive side of the field for much of this night.

Sophomore Christy Fowler had her second hat trick of this season coming through and leading the way for her teammates.

Canyon Lake’ s Lady Hawks will invoke on their District Season that gives them a chance for making the playoffs.

With a district that has five teams and having four teams that can qualify for a longer season (playoffs), then you can conclude that there will be only one team that is out of that realm of going farther.

Looking at pre district games you have three teams that will be fighting for those two spots.

Dripping Springs and Schertz Clemens will be on top of the food chain and Canyon Lake will be fighting it out with Seguin and Wimberley.

All three teams (CL, Wimberley, and Seguin) played one common opponent this pre-season.

Floresville had this privilege of playing all three teams so you can have a small glimpse of each teams strength.

Canyon Lake was the one team that beat Floresville while Wimberley and Seguin were both shut out by the Jaguars.

Next, you need to see when these games were played to help in deciphering how district games might play out.

Floresville beat Seguin just last week, 4-0 in Matador stadium. So a home game loss for Seguin and also a recent game is a good barometer on how this team might play when they are on the field against your Hawks.

The ReSporter: You have been playing some teams that are two classes larger than CL. What are you wanting the girls to take from games like this as you prepare for District?

Coach McWhorter: “Our preseason schedule has no doubt been rigorous and jam-packed. As we prepare for district and play these games, I think that the team should get a better understanding of what we are going to be up against. Although our district has changed since last year, we are going to be up against some competitive teams who come from larger school districts. We need to get a feel of what teams like that are like in the preseason.”

The ReSporter: How many teams in district will qualify for the Playoffs?

Coach McWhorter: “The top four teams in our district will qualify for playoffs this year.”

Coaches Corner with Soccer Coach, Katie McWhorter.

The ReSporter: Canyon Lake did not lose a lot of Seniors, how young is your team and who will be some athletes you hope to carry your squad?

Coach McWhorter: “Although we didn’t lose many seniors last year, we only have two this year, so our team is a very young team. We are working hard at becoming a more aggressive and explosive team in the hopes that we will be one of the top contenders in our district for playoffs.”

The ReSporter: You have another year of facing schools that are much larger than the Hawks, how will that translate with how the team will approach this season?

Coach McWhorter: “While we are facing schools that are much larger than us, our team has a lot of skill and fight in them. We participated in three tournaments preseason, and most of the teams we played were from much larger schools with excellent soccer teams – some of them were even 5A schools. We held our own and did a really good job in our play.”

The ReSporter: Last game against Wimberley was a morale booster, tell The

Canyon Lake Freshman the Future

ReSporter about the game and how the team played against their arch rival?

Coach Jeff Vaughn: “It is always great to end the season on a high note.  We talked about this before the game and at half time as well.  This game was personal to me.  As a coach I always say “We” but that night I told them that “I” want a win.  We started this program four years ago with this group of seniors and I told them that “I” want a win…and that “I” expected nothing less from this being their last night!  As far as the game goes…we played well, and exceeded my expectations by winning 3-0…With two seniors scoring goals.  Annie Jacobs scored our only goal in the first half…then shortly after the second half started she got a straight red card for a suspect tackle…but I was proud that she got a goal.  We had to play about 35 minutes with only 10 versus 11…and only up a goal.  I changed nothing…the girls kept their feet on the gas and Amanda Pettyjohn (a senior) and Christy Fowler added two more tallies before it was all said and done.  I was a proud coach!!!”

Canyon Lake has surprising tie against Smithson Valley

Canyon Lake tied Smithson Valley, 1-1, last Friday and now find themselves with a legitimate chance of making some noise in district play. The ReSporter caught up with Head Coach Jeff Vaughn for some insight to that game and how the season is unfolding.

The ReSporter: “Congratulations on the game with Smithson Valley this past Friday…

Coach Vaughn: “Thanks. All the credit goes to the girls as I just stand on the sidelines and give orders and move the pieces around.  The heart shown by the girls is how we were able to get the much needed tie.”

The ReSporter: “What did you do offensively after SV scored in order to score the tying goal?

Junior Jasmine Smith gets her kicks in.

The Lady Hawks (5-2-2) took care of business in beating Floresville (8-3-1) at Hawk Stadium last Friday night as all the points scored came in the first half of play.

Canyon Lake had four starters out with injuries while many of other players were banged up. That is what made this MASH unit even more remarkable.

Head Coach Jeffrey Vaughn looked like a champion puzzle player as he fit the pieces around to come out with a well deserved win over a Floresville Jaguar club.

Moving the Freshman Goal Keeper to a starter, the Senior Goal Keeper to Defender, the Midfielder/Defender to Sweeper, you get the idea. The Hawks were playing positions that were not normal for this young but resilient team.
