The Hawks had their top three batters in the line-up score eight runs but that just was not good enough to warrant a win.
Lizzy Henderson came back from a hand injury from last weekends tournament to help in some late rallies with two hits and rbi’s which was an encouraging sign.

This is opening week for several sports as weather has played a major roll with Tennis and other competitive events.
JV Baseball will be opening their curtain in Marble Falls and then the Varsity have a return trip to Marble Falls for a three day tournament all this week.
Canyon Lake’s Baseball Team has finally grown up and this act will be something to hold your hat on as the Hawks will be shooting for more than just finishing the schedule this year.
Both Boy’s and Girl’s Soccer were handed a loss to Schertz Clemens last week by the same score, 4-0. That is not surprising, as Soccer has to play teams that are two classes in size larger each year.
Canyon Lake started off with some noise in the batter’s box as the Hawks batted over .400 and have
Junior Kelsey Ahrens
a decent 4-2 record.
This is a young club and to have some bats coming out of the cave will bode well for a team needing to clamp onto all the positive vibes as this season continues in preparation for District 27-3A play in a few weeks.
Another encouraging development has been in the circle, as Kelsey Ahrens has responded with some innings that will only help by having two pitchers.
Canyon Lake has had one featured pitcher since this school has started play six years ago.
Brianna Young knocked in 5 runs in the first inning with power as Canyon Lake cruised

to a 19-5 win over Luling Eagles in their final game in the Navarro Tournament on Saturday.
Young had a double and home run in a 12 run first inning to give the Hawks a cushion that helped this young ball club to a 4-2 record opening their season.
“Overall, we improved over our Thursday games,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “The players played hard and never quit…We will use these games with some teaching in the field.”
Every Hawk had a hit in this game as Canyon Lake batted around the order twice in those three innings before this game was called on a time limit.
CL starts the season with 5 home runs in their first six games and that is more dingers than Canyon Lake has had in their history.
Ahrens was one of the players with two home runs to start this season.

Canyon Lake finished their first day with a 2-1 record with a 13-12 loss to Connally and a win over Gonzales, 11-6 in their earlier games on Thursday.
“I am very pleased with how we played,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “We did well offensively and hit the ball well and bunted well.”
The Hawks are so young that even their one of two seniors is Brianna YOUNG.
Freshman and Sophomores ‘make up’ many new faces, in fact, they might be so young that they don’t wear ‘make up’.
Katy Payne was the first Hawk to hit a Home-Run over the fence. Brianna Young her replacement has the other dinger.

Canyon Lake’s Softball team was in discovery mode last Saturday as they opened their year.
Sophomore Pitcher Alexis Robinson
The Hawks played three games on Saturday in New Braunfels Canyon High School.
Wins and losses are not what coaches are looking for during these skirmishes, but looking for hidden jewels and seeing how much work and the specific type of work needs to be done to ready a team for the season is a top priority.
After asking how Alexis Robinson pitched, Head Coach John Gallagher surmised, “Pretty good, she threw about seven innings overall and had three strikeouts. We used two different catchers so she did not throw a lot of different pitches.”
Canyon Lake will be thin in that pitching circle again this year and so how Robinson goes will also let you know how the Hawks will fair this year.
Canyon Lake will be playing their last game for the season this Tuesday night
