This week’s recap with two weeks of action remaining has given us a good picture of who will be on the top 4 list of each District 13 & 14 as these two districts will be pitted against each other for that Bi-District first round of post-season play.

HAWKS HOPING FOR PLAY-IN GAME FOR PLAY-OFF GAME
Three weeks ago, The Lake, had a myriad of ways for a chance to earn a right to make the post-season in Boys Basketball.
The Hawks did start their playoff last Friday when they had a ‘must win’ situation which in reality is what this time of year presents for having a chance being able to continue their season.
C-Lake was able to take that next step beating Navarro, 62-45 and that now the Hawk Nation is waiting results of the Boerne/Bandera game this Tuesday (Feb. 13th).
If Bandera can pull off a win then Canyon Lake will need to wait another year… but the chances of having a play-in contest has the odds on Canyon Lake’s side based on Boerne coming into this battle undefeated and 12th ranked based on tabchoops.org.
Authentic Canyon Lake says Let’s Go Hawks & Don’t Forget Valentine’s Day!!
In this Hawk’s Navarro win, Carter Williams finished with his 6th double-double this year finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds. As a team, CLHS topped 42 rebounds with Mario Aguilar (11) bounds.
This game CL got separation after the Panthers tied the score 7 all with 5:30 left in the quarter. In dominant fashion The Lake finished this opening period with a, 11-2 stretch.
During this season, Canyon Lake’s worse two quarters have been the 2nd & 3rd stanzas…so it was good to see CL fashioning a 16-8 quarter and halftime, 34-17 advantage.
That dominance would continue as these Hawks increased the lead to 23 points to end the 3rd period when Aguilar sank two free throws, 50-27.
CL’s largest lead was 25 points to start the last 8 minutes before Navarro’s last rush closing the gap with a Hawk 17 point victory, 62-45.
Way to Go Hawks!!
CLHS would use their bench depth after seeing a Logan Lewis pass to Ryan Alvarez for two points that brought the Hawk bench to their feet and final score conclusion.
The Hawk bench ended this contest scoring 18 points as Coach Monte Cole used different line-ups to fine-tune this game with an anticipated game with Bandera.
It will be known late Tuesday night when Canyon Lake finds out if they can continue their pre-playoff-playoff run with another win against those Bandera Bulldogs.
Keep in touch with The ReSporter as we post the date and time of CLHS next game if warranted.
If CLHS Boy’s Basketball team is fortunate to play this week it will represent the 500th game in Hawk history. A chance to start that next 500 contests with a special win that will have CL making their 5th year in the playoffs.
A bit of forward thinking has this possibility (using the Jethro Bodine math formulas) for the Bi-District round if CL can be so inclined in taking care of business against Bandera.
Let’s Go Hawks!!

Go Hawks & Beat the Texans!!
Get your slide rule or abacas out…or for the hip audience ask ‘Alexa’ or you can activate your AI for these next questions on who might qualify for those last playoff spots.
Boerne and Davenport has shored up those first two places while your Hawks along with Bandera-Wimberley-Fredericksburg facing a tag-team wrestling bout for a spot.
This is what we do know:
1) If The Lake can win their next two contests then they would secure the 3rd seed. Control their own spot….
Looking at the schedule above there are several other scenarios.
2) Take into account that Boerne and Davenport have a chance with wins against all 4 teams above.
3) We know games that involve playing Navarro give a favorable chance for a win.
(CL did win that first round bout with the Panthers but this 2nd round in district has
Go Hawks Beat the Texans!!
produced nothing, to brag about as a Hawk fan, as they still search for that win. Plus this game is on the road)
The Hawks will need a, take no prisoners mind-set, in that battle and quite frankly for the whole week.
There is a chance in having 2, 3 or 4 teams being tied on February 13th. That would require those teams playing on Thursday-Friday or Saturday to untie this knot. One game for sure….two games if there are 3 or 4 teams tied. This scenario would also involve coin flips.
A four way tie would involve the Billies finishing 2-1 which would leave the Texans with another loss to go along with the Hawks win on Tuesday against our Back-Bone neighbor.
Bandera has the biggest hurdle this week facing both front running schools and those possible losses resulting with another 5-7 district record.
The only way a school can avoid playing an extra game to qualify is by winning both games against that opponent to break that tie. Hence, if CLHS can beat Wimbo then they would secure that spot for 3rd place based on Bandera also losing both of their games.
Confused yet? There will be a lot of ‘what is happening around the league’ chatter for these next 3 dates.
The Lake and Bandera are the only two schools that have two more contests.
One last thought to take note:
A win by any of the 3 schools over Davenport or Boerne would go a long way for securing a spot for that school.
Wimberley plays Davenport.
Fredericksburg plays Boerne.
Bandera plays both schools.
Make the trip to Wimberley to give your Hawks a boost this coming Tuesday and Let’s Go Hawks!!

Hawks Take Down Navarro, 64-49
Way to Go Hawks!!
Canyon Lake completed their first round of District 27-4A games standing in 3rd place one game behind Davenport.
The Hawks took down Navarro last Tuesday night with one of their best shooting nights this season with an overall 44% from the field and a lofty 46% from beyond the arc.
That led to a 5th place tie with 10 other Hawk teams that have reached 11 makes in a game. However, with using their shooting percentage as a metric to break that tie would put this game only behind CL’s 11 makes in their Boerne game February 2nd, 2013.
There were some other notable milestones with this victory having Carter Williams finishing with a double-double with 11 points and rebounds while also contributing 5 blocks that had Williams’ finishing with 10 blocks for the week. This was his 3rd 5 block party in his career that ranks 4th all-time.
Jacob Holland made 5 three-pointers for 3rd place tied with 9 other Hawks. Holland helped keep CL in control to start this game making 4 of those shots during that first half.
Another notable stat came from Jaxson Jeter when he finished with 8 assists for 5th on that all-time list for Canyon Lake.
Way to GO HAWKS!!
This Navarro Panther crew had a 4 point lead to start this game, 9-5 with right under 3 minutes left in that first quarter.
A Hawk rush after scoring 11 unanswered points to end that first stanza was comforting but NHS would still hang on when they cut a Hawk 7 point lead during that 2nd quarter when they took the lead back at the 2:09 mark before halftime.
The Hawks would regain their lead on a Jeter 3 point jumper and the Hawks hung onto a vicarious 2 point lead, 29-27.
Defense allowed The Lake to an 8 point advantage to start out of halftime which has not been a Hawk strength for most of this season, but on this night, did supply this Host team a chance for separation, 39-31.
Go Hawks & Way to Fly High!!
The 4th Period had both teams change from a marathon contest to a sprint as both teams combined scoring 43 points that had CL outscoring Navarro 7 points, 25-18 and an eventual, 64-49 final.
All 4 district games that CLHS has won had the Hawks holding their opponent to 40-49 points. In those two set-backs their opponents scored 59 points with the second round beginning next Tuesday in Fredericksburg.
There is just one more home game against Boerne and having 5 of the 6 games on the road will give CL a good audition, if a post-season ticket can be punched, for a chance to work on focusing and not letting an opponent’s crowd noise nullified.
