CL Hawk Band would be busy this week with all the events planned.

The Hawks are off and running as this Spring Season has all sports in full gear.

Baseball lead off with some tough competition when the Junior Varsity were on the road in Marble Falls and losing two games. That was not all bad, when the Hawks rebounded in their second game with a two run contest.

This week, CLJV Baseball will be on the road again in Llano with a team in that same classification and hopefully a different result.

Hawk Varsity also started in Marble Falls with four games against some high caliber teams. With each passing game you could see CL start to mature with each bout.

That will be a good thing as this week CL will be playing some more tough competition in the Comal ISD Tournament.

For the next week, ready or not, Canyon Lake starts District 27-3A with a game against Fredericksburg.

Softball also had an up and down week when your Hawks started in Blanco with a loss and then a rebound in Comfort.

This week, Canyon Lake will have their opening game on Tuesday night against Luling. Then on the road again but just for a short distance as the team will start off with three games on Thursday and then back to Blanco for Saturday games.

Soccer is into their district games and the Lady Hawks did win a game that was pivotable for having a chance of making the playoffs. Again this week, a game on Tuesday with Wimberley will be huge in seeing if this Hawk team will be having a chance of continuing there season in a few weeks.

The Hawk’s Boys Soccer team lost a tough game to Seguin, 2-0 which puts pressure for this club beating Wimberley. Last year, Canyon Lake had a big win against the Texans and their game on Tuesday needs to be carried over for another win in order to keep the playoffs in their mirror.

Canyon Lake Track teams started in a very tough Meet in Bastrop last Saturday. The teams in this Meet were all larger than the CL and 10th and 13th place finish for the girls and boys respectfully was not viewed as a bad day.

Christian Dittman was on schedule when he cleared 14’6 and winning that event and now clearing that 15 foot barrier is now a goal for this athlete and continuing a Hawk with a legit chance of going to Regions.

That 14’6 mark beat his personal best of 14’3 cleared last year in the Hawk Relays.

Canyon Lake also had a decent start in Boys Golf and will look to continue their game in Blanco this week.
Skyler Tschoepe shot a 78 that was second best in the Navarro tournament.

The ReSporter will be busy this week as February 28th will also be celebrating the 27th year of marriage to a wonderful life partner.

Thanks for reading.

2nd Baseman Kirsten Jones snagging another ball for an out.

The Hawks got back on the winning track and scurried out for an eight run lead before settling in and beating Comfort, 12-5 last Friday night on the road.

After taking a tough loss to Blanco, Canyon Lake did not take long to forge into a lead that would not be threatened in winning by a seven run margin.

Two things was noticeable that did not happen in Blanco.

lose to Blanco, 14-11.

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.

team.

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

Carly DuBois making wishes come true in Center Field

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.

Cameron Berger saves her best for her last at bat with a single driving in two runs in the last inning

for a one run win over Pearsall Mavericks, 5-4 at Navarro’s Tournament.

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.

Softball Preview for their opening games this week.

Canyon Lake did lose several players that were mainstays through these past few seasons.

There were some bats and gloves that will need to be replaced this season and those puzzle pieces will be put in place before district plays starts up.
