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

After losing their first game of the season, the Hawks found themselves down by 5 runs in the second game of the day and last game in the Navarro tournament.

Canyon Lake then proceeded to rally on their next at bat and forged to the lead and game, 11-7 against Pearsall.

The win gave CL five out of six games as they finished fourth overall for the weekend.

CL had several good happenings for their first tournament of the season.

“I would have been happy with a split,” Head Coach John Gallagher said when responding if he was happy with the five wins for the weekend. “We finally started hitting today and we have some very good chemistry with this team.”

Canyon Lake relied on Alexis Robinson for pitching as she started four of the six contests.

In that final game with Pearsall, the Hawks went with Freshman Lauren Mentzer in the circle as she works through some arm trouble and Mentzer found it hard to get through the second inning.

Enter Robinson once again to help stop the bleeding for an inning that had several errors and costly runs for Pearsall.

Canyon Lake continued their streak to four wins at the Navarro tournament on Friday as the Hawks beat Amarillo High and John Paul II.

Kelsey Ahrens continues to shine with several other Hawk players in Navarro

“We are playing together a lot more and our chemistry is very good,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “Amarillo had good pitching and we got our runs early and just moved people with our hits and bunts.”

The Hawks are hitting .370 as a team as this season is beginning much like last year’s club did with hits and finding ways to win those tight games.

Canyon Lake also had a first when Alexis Robinson relieved Freshman pitcher Lauren Mentzer for two innings for the win and first save by a pitcher for CL since Softball started in 2008 season.

“That is always good to get a first,” Coach Gallagher chimed. “Mentzer looked good and sharp and we hope to get her some more work.”

Robinson not only pitched well but her bat came alive as she finished with a double and home run in her two games.

Canyon Lake started their season with two wins as Harper and St. Anthony were victims at the Navarro Tournament.

Kelsey Ahrens got the year going strong with 3 rbi’s in her game with Harper, while Kirsten Jones and Kat Weber each had two hits.

The Hawks held on in this timed game as Harper struck for two runs to close the gap but it was still not enough as Canyon Lake held on for their first win.

Robinson pitched 8 strike outs allowing just two hits in the win.

In the Hawks second game, the power game was evident as Canyon Lake scored 7 runs in the top of the fourth inning to wrestle the lead and coast to their win over St. Anthony.

Kelsey Ahrens had a double while Robinson and Dubois both reached base with triples.

The Hawks totaled 11 hits and finished the day with those two wins.

Canyon Lake’s Softball team played their last scrimmage game last night in a win over Fredericksburg, 3-2.

Kelsey Ahrens is ready for season to start after last scrimmage with Fredericksburg

“We’re progressing,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “I saw a lot of good things tonight.”

Short and to the point as this team still has some confidence issues in the field and plate but the trek to having a more competitive team is much shorter than in year’s past.

The Hawks had just two Seniors on last year’s team and again this time around there will be just two Seniors to contribute on another young CL team sport.

“I am hoping for a successful season,” Senior Kelsey Ahrens led off. “A good year for us would be consistency and going forward and not taking a step back.”

On how just two seniors can motivate a team that is made up many more younger players? “We just have to keep talking to our teammates and know there will be times we will need to be mentally tough and need to step it up.”

Canyon Lake started last season with a strong pre-district record but when district play begin the Hawks just could not get a complete game.

Softball Finding Puzzle Pieces

The Hawk Softball team took their first baby steps as they scrimmage three teams last Saturday in New Braunfels.

Alexis Robinson and Cameron Berger will be seasoned veterans this year as Juniors

Wins and losses don’t matter this time of year, but what does come into play is how did the team react in game like situations versus just going through practices.

CL played Austin Maroon a 5A school and two 6A schools in San Antonio Southwest and Canyon.

You could tell the difference in the match-ups as depth was evident for all three teams to face Canyon Lake.

The Hawks will be replacing the catcher position with Sophomore Kat Weber who seemed to be adapting to that position very well as she will have to mature quickly as CL will not have as many non-district games since the district has more teams than in the past.

Hawks making a pitch that this year’s team will be prepared to make the next step

Softball will be starting soon for Canyon Lake as this year’s team will see if they can improve on their last year of hitting and pitching.

Yes, The ReSporter left one item that will need to improve the most for the Hawks, defense.

Canyon Lake made great strides with last year’s team as several Freshman brought their speed and hitting to the lineup.

However, Canyon Lake’s defense was that one ingredient that will need to be improved upon.

The Reporter would like to thank all the many readers that have frequented this website this past year.

The ReSporter would like you to Vault into next year by placing an Ad on this site.

This has been a very successful year for the website as each month this season had more visits than any previous month since we started four years ago.

The ReSporter had 315 articles this past school year and since starting this quest, The ReSporter, has finished a total of 1,159 posts or articles.

Another way of saying, a lot of stories.

Now it is time for The ReSporter to take a few months off and hopefully come back with enough energy to get another year finished.

Our apologies for these past couple of weeks, The ReSporter, has suffered ‘Burn Out’ much like many of the Seniors have suffered from Senioritis.

With that being said, The ReSporter would like to invite you to think about helping with posting an Ad through this venue.

Since, The ReSporter, likes numbers then chew and calculate how these stats might help your business.

The * for 2010-11 represents just three months as this endeavor started after the basketball season that year, so those numbers will not have the same amount of days you could visit.

This also shows how each year has topped each previous season which should hopefully give you an idea of what might happen this coming school year.

SA and NB for the cities represent San Antonio and New Braunfels. Austin and San Marcos were right behind those two cities giving you an idea of how far this site can reach what you might be needing to sell or get across to your audience.

Thanks once again for showing support for this site and know that an Ad would cost $50 per semester and an extra $35 if you would like to have your Ad placed with articles, which many of you have noticed we started doing this past spring.

The ReSporter would also welcome ideas and thoughts that you might like to see for this upcoming school year.

Be Blessed and enjoy the Summer and tell my Advertisers you saw their Ad on my site…and Congrats to all the Seniors from Bracken and Canyon Lake. You don’t know how much I have enjoyed covering your events these past 4 years.
