Softball will be in full swing as the 2014 season fast approaches.

The first official practice started last Saturday as newcomers and oldies all were out wanting to see what this year might have in store.

“I was very pleased this week in seeing who came out,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “The talent that showed up today was very encouraging.”

When asked what type of talent was seen, Coach Gallagher was forthcoming, “Overall athleticism, we have girls who can play that I did not see a month ago.”

The Hawks will have a four team scrimmage at Canyon High School on February 1st and then a home game scrimmage on Friday, February 7th with Harper.

past year and there will be several faces returning for a chance of advancing in the playoffs this season.

The graduating players had a .271 batting average and 4.11 era with the largest loss coming from the loss of power. A total of 31 extra base hits have left the diamond with only 16 returning hits other than singles.

Returning players had a .259 average and a 4.42 era. The item to note is an extra year or being one year older can translate into better hitting and pitching.

For instance, Michael Brady had huge improvement from his Junior to Senior campaign.

Canyon Lake has the potential to be a very good defensive team as players that were lost to injury will be returning.

ReSporter wanted to show how this team of players stack up with previous players in the record book.

The players in kelly green are the current players and in each category there will be players that have ranked in the top 5 or more levels.

So, seeing a current player ranked sixth might not mean they are the sixth best ever with that stat.

You will be able to tell by looking at the official number of points (or whatever the stat is) that this player has many more points needed to enter into the higher stratosphere.

Mountain Valley Middle School 8th Grade is just one year away from walking down Canyon Lake High

Eric Hill, Hank Jordan, and Lee Stafford getting together after a win over Bandera

School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.

The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.

MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.

Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.

Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but  it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.

play a tribute to this group of players.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.

Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

The stats below were compiled based on home games this season for both A and B squads.

Matt Magness holds CL record for most touchdowns receiving

The ReSporter was bored during the Christmas Break and studied all of the scores since competition started and recorded those students with longest touchdowns by receiving and rushing.

There are a few players that most fans will remember after seeing this list and will help you put those scores in perspective.

First item The ReSporter noted was how unique a player Doug Hubnik was for the Hawks.

Hubnik while playing for CL scored several ways.
Interception Return against Luling during the 2011.
Kick-off return against Luling during that same game.
Receiving several times during his two year offensive career.
Rushing while being a QB during the La Grange game in 2011.
