Canyon Lake continued their week of comebacks by beating Wimberley, 3-2 last

Friday night on Senior Night.

The Hawks beat another team that was over them in district play in a must win scenario and puts CL in a position to forge into the playoffs for the second year in a row.

District 26-3A has a crowded field atop the standings as four of the six teams find themselves with just one game of separation.

Canyon Lake drew first blood when McKenna Beseda reached base on an error and then completed the play when Wimberley’s short stop could not hold onto the ball as Beseda slid into second base.

After McKenna completed her tear on the base baths stealing third base, Senior Missy Romero scored Beseda on a sacrifice fly.

District 26-3A has started Tuesday and will be finishing up

tomorrow with the 4×400 Relay.

Canyon Lake is the team to beat for this event as they blistered the Track in their last run in Dripping Springs.

The ReSporter will end it’s report on the district events for the girls.

Fredericksburg has been the team to beat, but this might be the closest the other schools have been to the Billies in quite a while.

Relays are the next and last set of events to be diagnosed for this season.

The ReSporter hopes you have enjoyed these ‘Breakdowns’.

The Hawks have a good group of guys running the relays. Pretty simple synopsis…

Canyon Lake beat there all-time best in all three relays at the Tiger Relays in Dripping Springs over a week ago.

The Mile Relay was brought down enough to give this foursome a chance to make State.

Both of the other two relays might need some good hand offs to maximize a time that would have a chance to make the next level.

Canyon Lake won all three events last season and this foursome has been together all year and have a good balance and work well together.

Eduardo Covarrubias, Doug Hubnik, Daniel Camarillo, and Zach Henshaw look to be peeking right at a good time to bring home some medals.

Below is the run down for the Relays as well as the projected finish of this year’s District 26-3A Meet.

After going over the Sprint Events earlier, The ReSporter will now delve into Distance

and Hurdle events from the District 26-3A schools.

At our last writing, Fredericksburg had 31 points with Wimberley and Bandera close behind scoring 25 and 18 respectively.

To go over how this evaluation transpires: The ReSporter has dug up as many of the Track Meets from all the schools and have put the results in a competition against each district team.

This will give you a good idea of how the Meet will unfold this coming week. If there is one constant for Track is that all the runners will run against the clock and this will give you a good way of seeing the event finish.

Athletes times should be constant in theory no matter where they are running. However there will also be different weather patterns and running against tougher competition will equate to better times and distances.

After evaluating six events for Sprints and Distance the District Scores so far are in

Fredericksburg favor.

The distance runs helped the Billies score 51 points worth of separation for the rest of the district teams.

At our last writing the District 26-3A race was as follows:

91  Fredericksburg
39  Canyon Lake
20  Boerne
15  Bandera
12  Wimberley
3  Navarro

Now this writing will concentrate on the Hurdles and Field events.

There will be eight events for this breakdown.

110 Meter Hurdles:

Navarro’s Miricle has the best time (15.56) for this run. Fredericksburg will once again dominate as they have the second, fifth, and six best times.

Boerne has the third and fourth best times. This will have three teams that can score for these hurdles.

Canyon Lake has the seventh and eighth best times and could make an appearance, but something would have to befall another runner to place.

The ReSporter has compiled the best times for athletes from the six District 26-3A

schools and have them ranked in order to come up with a prognostication on the upcoming district meet.

Dividing the 17 events into four different categories will give you an idea of where you might want to concentrate your attention if you are fortunate to be at the two day event this week.

The results will be flawed (injuries, grades, etc.) but after using this same method last season, the team finish was the same just some minor adjustments with the final point total for each school.

The four areas that will be dissected are as follows: Sprints—Distance—Hurdles—Field Events.

Last year during the end of Canyon Lake’s Softball season, you could walk by a few

students that had some ‘grub’ on the grill and enjoying there last days before the end of school.

Oh yeah, they would also visit the Softball game that was on their way to the playoffs for the first time in the history of this program.

These Students were mostly Seniors, but there were also enough younger aged participants that would allow this event to be repeated for the next campaign.

The CL Flag draped trucks would be seen when driving  onto the parking lot close to the Field of Dreams.

“I just like to BBQ,” Senior Brandon Berger said. “And were all about supporting the girls (Softball Team).”

The crew will eat and enjoy each others company, but as soon as the food is finished…the students will make themselves heard in support for the Hawk’s Softball team.

The ReSporter: Pretty impressive to be able to improve in all three of the

relays…what are the guys doing that has given these type of results?

Coach Montgomery: “The boys work very hard in practice, and we have done a good job of ensuring that we do not overtrain. We have to balance their track with their weightlifting.”

The ReSporter: Jaaz McNair improved his Shot Put throw by almost three feet…can you tell us what his technique might have been to improve that much in just one week?

Coach Montgomery: “He has been doing well in practice, and he got off a good throw in Dripping Springs. No real changes in technique.”

You might have heard of these two players that signed

last Friday at Canyon Lake High School.

Alex Kemp and Zach Henshaw took another step for their opportunity to play in College.

Kemp was courted by Mary Hardin Baylor while Henshaw will be up the road at Tarleton State University.

To put these two students in perspective lets run some numbers, just in case you forgot who these two young man were. (The season did end over four months ago)

Alex Kemp was the Defensive End for the Hawks where he finished with the All-Time Record for sacks and a basic disrupter for many of the offenses the Hawks faced in the last two years.

Kemp had 126 total tackles the last two seasons and in his Junior year he amassed nine sacks and 15 tackles for a loss.

Not to be out done, Kemp ended with 11 sacks and 18 tackles for loss his Senior campaign. The two totals are now records left for all the under classman to try and top.

The next closest active player in sacks is Isaac Pruna with four. The record holder going into last season was J. Garrett Groom with 10 sacks.

Pruna will have his work cut out for him in the tackles for loss category as he is also the active returning player with eight tackles for a loss. Needing a mere 25 more to tie Kemp’s record of 33.

Zach Henshaw was a record machine that had an extra jump on any player trying to catch him in yardage gained since he played three seasons for the Hawks.

Henshaw had 300 yards rushing in one game, 2070 yards in one year, and 4329 yards in his career.

The scrimmages are over and now it is time for Coach John Gallagher to put the puzzle pieces together.

“We saw a lot of players and now we have got to evaluate some talent,” Head Coach Gallagher said. “We have a clearer picture on where we can play players on Tuesday.”

The Hawks play this Tuesday at home against Marion starting at 6pm.

This will be a chance to see how a second place finish in District 26-3A last year will translate for a team that lost five players that switched their bat for a diploma last May.

In that number was a few players that made up the most important area on the diamond in the center.

Katy Payne, Tiffany Arredondo, and Alex Henderson were a few of the hard to replace positions on the team.
