That phrase “looking forward” will be missed as we will be saying good bye to a Canyon

Lake Student this Tuesday.

Michael Russell was taken from us last Thursday and Canyon Lake lost a student that I enjoyed covering in his first two years of high school in basketball and track for The ReSporter.

Russell was on the JV basketball team last year and was looking forward to a chance of playing varsity this season.

He was a long range sharp shooter and had a certain tenacity when on the hardwood.

The Hawks spring sports will be in full motion as all but Boys Track will have some live action this week.

This year’s Tennis Team has some deserving Athletes that you might want to get out and see as they will be playing Blanco in a dual match starting at CL’s Tennis Courts at 4pm.

The Girls Softball team will have two games at home this week as they will try to improve on their 3-3 record and explosive offensive start against Marion and the Navarro tournament last week.

Both Boys and Girls Soccer will be taking the field with the Boys playing in Seguin and Dripping Springs. The Girls will also mirror that schedule but will play at home. Both teams are 0-1 in District play and will look to get a win against Seguin. Both of these Districts will take four out of five teams to the playoffs so a win over the Matadors will go a long way in helping to cement that playoff spot.

Baseball will start their season with their season opening game at Hawk diamond this Monday night for the varsity. This will be a year where depth will finally be a reality for both Varsity and JV. The Varsity will then have a Tournament in Lockhart.

The JV will also be at home against Wimberley this Friday after a game in Marble Falls on Tuesday. This is another team that has tons of talent and would be a great time to see what type of future will be forthcoming.

The Boys Golf team has had a couple of outings so far this year and will be in hopes of lowering their scores. A good day two weeks ago and not so good last week. (such is life on the links)

Girls Track will be in Boerne to get some work in everything but their Relay teams. Coach Lacey Lambert will be in the process of seeing which girls might be able to get much needed points in the field and running events.

This past couple of years Canyon Lake has seemed to be able to have good Relay teams, especially that coveted Mile Relay event.

A few weeks ago Canyon Lake reached another milestone when their Cheerleading squad came home with a National Championship in competition held at the Dallas Convention Center.

The CLHS Cheer Comp Squad compteted in the National Cheerleaders Association Senior and Junior High Nationals in Dallas, Texas.

“This was the third time that the Comp squad had traveled to Dallas to compete,” Coach Nikki Duggan said excitedly. “We WON the small Novice High School Division beating out 24 other teams from around the nation.”

The Hilltop ReSporter started in February 2010 after The Hilltop Reporter could not survive as a Newspaper earlier that year.

Needing something to do with a passion, The ReSporter wanted to give Students from two schools more than just a line in a sports page with a score.

Hence, it was time to help by responding with a Website that would just deal with sports for Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian.

It has been a fast two years and The ReSporter has churned out 674 articles covering as many sports as possible.

Football to Track and every sport in between has been a fun venture keeping fingers typing whether the result was a loss or win.

Several nights a week either on the road or at a home game has been a challenge, but just having a chance to report on Students makes this a worthwhile endeavor.

A special thanks for all the Businesses that have helped in supporting this site and thanks for reading.

The ReSporter looks forward to covering more events this coming season.

The Hawks had a slow start to the season last year and the Blanco game looked like Canyon Lake would be put in that situation again. The main item the past few months in the football write-ups has been the inability of the team to finish.

“Last year we didn’t finish,” Head Coach Matt Monzingo stated. “Tonight we finished, we controlled the game with ball control in the second half.”

Finishing did not happen until the end of the season and now the Hawks have acquired the taste of accomplishment in the second half as CLHS finished the Panthers off.

Here is the tale of the tape between the first and second half. Canyon Lake totaled 108 yards in the first half. Second half? 196

After evaluating six events for Sprints and Distance the District Scores so far are in

Fredericksburg favor.

The distance runs helped the Billies score 51 points worth of separation for the rest of the district teams.

At our last writing the District 26-3A race was as follows:

91  Fredericksburg
39  Canyon Lake
20  Boerne
15  Bandera
12  Wimberley
3  Navarro

Now this writing will concentrate on the Hurdles and Field events.

There will be eight events for this breakdown.

110 Meter Hurdles:

Navarro’s Miricle has the best time (15.56) for this run. Fredericksburg will once again dominate as they have the second, fifth, and six best times.

Boerne has the third and fourth best times. This will have three teams that can score for these hurdles.

Canyon Lake has the seventh and eighth best times and could make an appearance, but something would have to befall another runner to place.

Last year during the end of Canyon Lake’s Softball season, you could walk by a few

students that had some ‘grub’ on the grill and enjoying there last days before the end of school.

Oh yeah, they would also visit the Softball game that was on their way to the playoffs for the first time in the history of this program.

These Students were mostly Seniors, but there were also enough younger aged participants that would allow this event to be repeated for the next campaign.

The CL Flag draped trucks would be seen when driving  onto the parking lot close to the Field of Dreams.

“I just like to BBQ,” Senior Brandon Berger said. “And were all about supporting the girls (Softball Team).”

The crew will eat and enjoy each others company, but as soon as the food is finished…the students will make themselves heard in support for the Hawk’s Softball team.

You might have heard of these two players that signed

last Friday at Canyon Lake High School.

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw took another step for their opportunity to play in College.

Kemp was courted by Mary Hardin Baylor while Henshaw will be up the road at Tarleton State University.

To put these two students in perspective lets run some numbers, just in case you forgot who these two young man were. (The season did end over four months ago)

Alex Kemp was the Defensive End for the Hawks where he finished with the All-Time Record for sacks and a basic disrupter for many of the offenses the Hawks faced in the last two years.

Kemp had 126 total tackles the last two seasons and in his Junior year he amassed nine sacks and 15 tackles for a loss.

Not to be out done, Kemp ended with 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss his Senior campaign. The two totals are now records left for all the under classman to try and top.

The next closest active player in sacks is Isaac Pruna with four. The record holder going into last season was J. Garrett Groom with 10 sacks.

Pruna will have his work cut out for him in the tackles for loss category as he is also the active returning player with eight tackles for a loss. Needing a mere 25 more to tie Kemp’s record of 33.

Zach Henshaw was a record machine that had an extra jump on any player trying to catch him in yardage gained since he played three seasons for the Hawks.

Henshaw had 300 yards rushing in one game, 2070 yards in one year, and 4329 yards in his career.

February 24, 2012

Friday morning at the Canyon Lake Gymnasium, Missy

Romero reached another softball milestone.

This athlete for the Hawks Softball team has taken pen in hand and signed for a scholarship at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi.

Romero has been the dominant pitcher for Canyon Lake for three years now working on her fourth campaign in the circle.

Accomplishments for this young lady is plentiful. Take a look at the stats below for pitching and from the batter’s box.

Romero has pitched 376 innings so far while giving up only 178 earned runs for a respectable 3.31 runs per game.
