Bailey Bryan and Kyra Gonzales pose after game with SVMS

The Mountain Valley Hawks lost their first game this year when Smithson Valley MS took a 3 run first inning lead and never looked back, Thursday night at the Hawk Field, 12-5.

MV did rally to get within one run when Bailey Bryan and Grace Hinze both reached base in the third inning and came around to score to pull within striking range, 3-2.

“We were not as focused,” Bryan said. “We just need to keep everything in front of us and keep in the game. If we play smarter and know what we have to do on the bases then we can be more aggressive.”

Bryan is one of the few Hawks that is playing as an 8th Grader and will soon be playing on the field as a high school player this time next year.

“I am excited for high school and I played with some of those players last year,” Bryan closed.

Vicky Henderson would do whatever it took to get an out

The ReSporter will finish out the best Hawk Softball players and dream what kind of game these players would have if they actually were on the same team.

Last article had Missy Romero pitching, Alexis Robinson at first base, Brianna Young as the catcher, and Carly Dubois holding down center field.

              The dream batting order (so far):
                  cf    Carly Dubois
                  p     Missy Romero
                  1b    Alexis Robinson
                  c     Brianna Young

Next on the All-Hawk team would be Kelsey Ahrens who just finished her career with several stats with her name at the top.

Ahrens is another player that was not selected just for her bat, she was a good third baseman that was ranked high too.

2012 Graduate Missy Romero

The ReSporter wants to give the All-Hawk Softball Team and then you can also see below, the Top Ten in Hawk Stats based on one season of play.

Hope you enjoy both articles.

Canyon Lake would be able to put a pretty ‘Salty’ group of young ladies on the field if you could bring players together while they were in their hay day while in school.

First on the list would be Missy Romero who not only was a good pitcher, but her bat and glove was certainly one of the bests in school history.

The ReSporter will put Missy as the player in the circle for this team as she finished her career with a 2.77 ERA and 641 strikeouts.

Senior’s Kelsey Ahrens and Lizzy Henderson taking in their last time as Hawk Softball players

Canyon Lake finished another year with a winning record but just short in district play as front runner La Vernia rushed out to a lead and held on, 9-5 on Senior night at the Hawk Diamond.

For Senior Night, both Lizzy Henderson and Kelsey Ahrens were honored as they finished their career in sports for Canyon Lake.

Ahrens took that honor one step further as she deposited a home run over the left field fence that also gave her the all time rbi stat finishing with 76 rbi’s on this night.

The Hawks had as many errors as hits, and those errors will give a team like La Vernia all they need to keep a lead and winning.

CL did have 5 unanswered runs during the 4th and 5th innings, to claw back to within 2 runs of the Bears before the Hawks ran out of innings and games on this beautiful night under the stars.

Hawks were presented a rainbow during their game and in Wimberley

Canyon Lake’s Softball Team stays alive for the weekend as the Cuero game was postponed until this coming Monday due to weather.

Meanwhile in Wimberley, the Hawks, held on with a one run game as the contest was almost lost in that final inning with the winning run at the plate when Center Fielder Carly Dubois caught that final out, 8-7.

CL had an 8-1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning as the Texans responded with 6 unanswered runs as Hawk fans were working on getting appointments with their local Nail Salon.

“We fought through some adversary with the weather and were focused up until that fifth inning,” Head Coach John Gallagher said while biting his nails. “We had been working on laying off the high pitches but we had some trouble swinging at those pitches.”

Addison Ray and Chandra Wise team up for win over Cuero Gobbler’s

Canyon Lake’s JV Softball team is still, relatively speaking, a new entity as the Hawks have not had enough players in the past to field such a club.

Last season’s JV team had three players starting on the Varsity squad as freshman and even for this season, CL has a pitcher playing a prominent role on this year’s Hawk team as a freshman.

Suffice to say, winning had not been something that came easily for this team.

On Tuesday night, the Hawks rushed out to a five run first inning and rode that Gobbler to the finish line, winning, 7-6.

Twelve players saw action with many of the key plays coming in those later innings when some of the players who started the game on the bench came through defensively in preserving the lead and win.

CLJV started the game scoring 5 runs with the first inning being halted with only one out being recorded by Cuero.

Texas RV supports Canyon Lake Softball

Canyon Lake’s backs are against the wall after losing to Cuero at home Tuesday night, 11-4.

The Hawks could have been in good shape if they had beaten the Gobblers, with a sweep, CL would have had a chance to advance on their own terms.

Now, Canyon Lake will need to rely on other teams to win or lose to open a playoff door for this season.

Two more games on the schedule and then when the dust settles, Canyon Lake will have to be sure their are no hanging chads in order to proceed.

Cuero took the lead in Tuesday’s game with a run in the first inning without recording a hit.

Kelsey Ahrens would then tie the score with a hit that sailed over the fence in right center field and the game was even.

In the third inning, Canyon Lake would lose the lead and game for good after a towering 3- run homer off the bat of the Gobblers catcher that would spell doom for the Hawks.
