Come and celebrate a Hawk victory at North Shore UMC after the game.

Friday night lights doesn’t just end after the game.

North Shore United Methodist Church opens their doors for food, fun and fellowship after each home game.

Beach Volleyball, Basketball, Gaga Pit, music and oceans of tables under the trees to sit and visit.

Coach Chapman might want to come to see if anybody has ‘game’.

North Shore is excited to have the Baptist Youth Fellowship, DJ and hope to see this become an ecumenical (more than one Church) event.

Our Youth are very limited as to where they can hang out and we want North Shore UMC to be a safe fun place to do just that.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Kimberley L. Burke

Beach Volleyball, you need to check to be sure there are not any ‘ringers’ on your team. Like the CL Hawk’s Volleyball girls.

With two wins this week in district play, Canyon Lake would be tied for first place.

Hawks putting themselves in a good position to start district next week.

The ReSporter has mid season numbers for the Volleyball team and this is also a good time to go over what might transpire this year in District 26-4A.

Looking at the standings you will find five teams with a legitimate chance of snagging one of the four playoff spots.

Givens? Gonzales will not win a game this year in district action and La Vernia has a chance to surprise simply because they have proven themselves in past years.

Yes, they lost several players from last year’s team and the question would be can they compete with all five teams.

There have already been two games played and Cuero had the best non-district record but being beaten by Navarro 3-0 does not give you a good idea that any of those wins were to stalwart teams.

 Smithville Tigers  @  Canyon Lake Hawks      September 5th 7:30pm

 History: Hawks and Tigers have not played.

 This Season's Games:
 Canyon Lake  7  Blanco  35       Smithville  0   Rockdale    49

The Hawks will try to get a bad taste out of their mouth this week when they take on Smithville.

The Tigers did not have a good start to their season either and with two schools starting on the wrong foot, you will have two teams that will come out with a strong desire to change and get on the winning side of the ledger.

First Smithville, the Tigers were not very good on their opening day as they finished with no points, with no completions in their passing game, and a running game that could only muster two yards per play.

QB Garrett Mathis finished with negative 25 yards which would translate to enough sacks that HEB might be missing their allotment and not giving customers a paper or plastic option.

Running backs, Austin Green, Sean Moyer, Dameon Zepeda and Jake Dawson all finished with 18 to 35 yards rushing. Moyer had the best night of the four, with over five yards per carry.

Smithville’s defense had their problems too, in giving up over 500 yards with the majority of that real estate being gained through the air (414 yds).

When your best weapon is in the form of the punting formation, then you know it was not a good night. The Tigers had a 39 yard average per punt but that really just translated to more yardage that Rockdale could cover on their way for a score.

Canyon Lake is not in a position that they can snicker at those numbers as the Hawks were not much better with their game with Blanco.

Smithville ended with 92 total yards compared to the Hawks 158 yards.

Six of the seven touchdowns scored on Smithville was through the air and if CL can find a passing game, then that might be a way of breaking the Tigers’ for this night.

Rockdale had just 95 yards running which might suggest that Smithville’s best unit would be against the run.

Smithville had just one turnover and that bodes well as this team made their opponent play the whole field with no short scoring drives. Rockdale had just one score that did not cover more than 10 yards on those scoring plays.

Can the Hawks be opportunistic and make some long plays?

Last week the longest play covered 40 yards on a pass play to Evan Schuller with CL’s longest run covering 13 yards.  That run happened on their scoring drive which had Blanco guessing on defense for the only time during the game.

Last year, Canyon Lake started in a similar fashion against Blanco only to break out of their funk with a whale of a game in Somerset.

The big three of McGuire Johnson, Hayden Dubois, and Josh DeVries ran for 199, 79, and 92 yards in that game. That allowed your Hawks to score 35 points and if not for an electrical storm, might have translated into a win.

Momentum was lost in that delay but the simple fact is that Somerset had that same delay. No excuses, but the main point was how much different Canyon Lake looked compared to their opening game just a week earlier.

Canyon Lake needs a win and with the injuries, this game will be huge in establishing a team that can improve as District 14-4A comes a calling next month.

Go Hawks!!

Addison Farley ready to score in game with Lockhart earlier this year

Canyon Lake Volleyball won the Bronze Bracket at the San Marcos Tournament last weekend, sweeping their bracket to get their game back after losing to Blanco on Friday night.

That Blanco game was on the Hawks off day for the tournament and CL had played several larger teams from the Dallas area.

Canyon Lake beat Connally, Weatherford, and SA Southwest on Saturday claiming that bracket with a Hawk flag.

This was the last regular season tournament for the Hawk girls as they will enter into District play in a couple of weeks in hopes to ending their season by earning the right for a berth in the UIL Tournament.

Canyon Lake has already matched last year’s win total and will want to now take aim on the all time 25 win season set in 2009.

The Hawks also continue to close in on evening their all time record as they will need three more wins to get that record (109-112) to .500.

The top 4 teams will qualify and you can start to see what each team will be bringing to the court as there has been enough games to get a feel on what might happen.

Navarro has played 27 games already while Canyon Lake is close behind with 25 in the books.

The ReSporter has to search for records so the District 26-4A Standings below will not be complete.

Sophomore Regan Mickey is setting the stage for Senior Lillie Sander

The Canyon Lake Hawk’s Volleyball team will be returning home this Tuesday when they play Smithville.

Canyon Lake has reeled off 12 wins thus far and being just two weeks into their season they have averaged 1.2 games per day.

Two tournaments, in Wimberley and Bastrop, helped in adding to that total. The Hawks will end their tournament tour this weekend when they travel to San Marcos.

The Hawks best win was against Navarro in Wimberley’s tournament and worst loss might have been in their last game at Bastrop when they faced Thrall, a 2A team for that Championship game in the Silver Bracket.

The Hilltop ReSporter got wind of one more athlete who was awarded for being the best female

Sophomore Bailey Drum with Girls AD John Gallagher after being named Best Multi Sports Athlete

multi sport athlete this past season.

With the addition of Girls AD, John Gallagher, this award was born with the intent of seeing if more girls would try their hand at more than one or two sports.

Enter this year’s winner.

Sophomore Bailey Drum who started in August and continued through the Region Track Meet in Kingsville a few weeks ago.

Drum played Varsity on both the Volleyball and Basketball team as a Sophomore and proved that this young lady will be a force as she continues her high school career.

Second Team All-District in Volleyball where Drum was also active in the class room with a 95 average during her season and making Academic All-District.

A side note for CL Volleyball in District 27-3A with teams that had Academic All-District recognition.

That is one of the most impressive stats of this season as Bailey and nine other classmates dominated this honor.

Drum finished second with 207 kills, fifth with 140 digs, third with 14 blocks, and fourth with 21 service aces for Canyon Lake this past season.

The Hawks were a very young team as Freshman Mickey and Sophomore Wunderlich were the top two players in assists.

Junior Ellis, Junior Melone, and Freshman Mickey were the top three in digs and CL had the top five non-seniors with service aces.

 Melone       56
 Regan        30

Bailey Drum Triple Jumping in the Blanco Track Meet this year

Bailey Drum also finished her basketball season finishing second in scoring with 102 points for the Hawks. With 68 rebounds, Drum, was only behind Kyndall Drum (not related) and Amber Ramsey this past season.

Drum ran or jumped (literally) to track and field after the basketball season ended, where she was active in several events this past year, but the Triple Jump was that one event that kept Drum in competition into April with a Region berth.

Drum picked a good time to unleash her best Triple Jump of her career, as she soared for a 36-02 mark in the Area Meet after finishing on the first place podium in the District Meet, jumping for 34-07.50.

How Bailey Drum performed with her best distances or times:

 100 Meter Hurdles        300 Meter Hurdles       4x400 Meter Relay
 17.00 Dist Meet          51.30 Dist Meet         4:13.63 District Meet

 Triple Jump              High Jump
 36-02.00 Area Meet       4-08.00 Blanco Meet

Notice how many of Drum’s best marks were performed near the end of her track season which certainly gives you an idea of her never ending energy and will to compete at her very best.

Congratulations Bailey Drum and The ReSporter looks forward to covering you the next two years as there will certainly be more stories ready to expound on your conquests.
