Heath McDonough next stop will be Texas Lutheran in Track & Field

Heath McDonough signed this past week on his intentions to enroll at Texas Lutheran for Trackj & Field Team.

McDonough will go down as one of the best athletes for the Hawks as this young man was busy in several sports as Texas Lutheran saw in this student that can be classified as an athlete.

In recruiting, there are many players that are labeled as ‘Athlete’ because that young man can do several positions and a school will not want to cement someone into one position, who could play more than one endeavor.

Repeat-Boutique Says Go Hawks and Repeat Winning

Canyon Lake put up a good fight in their Basketball game with Navarro but just missed out on that last 3point shot for a chance to go to another round.

The Hawks had their best season since they built the school and look to have more years like this one as the Junior Varsity won District 28-4A this year and will look to fill those 8 vacancies from graduating Seniors

Congratulations to these Boys and keep thriving for the best.

Girls Soccer had a huge win this past week against Fredericksburg as they now have cemented themselves into a playoff berth while looking for a better seed with more wins as they will start the second round this Tuesday when Boerne comes to town.

The Boys Soccer team had a tough loss to Fredericksburg on the road losing, 4-3 but will look to rebound when they go on the road to Boerne on Tuesday. The Boys tied Bandera last Tuesday and will continue their best season since they started kicking balls in 2008.

Golf is the next sport that is showing promise as both the Girls and Boys teams won their Meet last week in Sequin. Chance Martelli was medalist with a 77 score as both of these teams will continue their trek when they travel to Vaaler Creek this week for another chance to fill their Trophy Case.

Baseball started their season and came away with one tie to go with 5 losses. A tough start to this season as it will not get any easier as the Comal Tournament will start up this week and Canyon Lake will be host to several teams.

A good time to come out for some good baseball as the schedule above has the Hawk game times.

Lakeside Dog Grooming Says         Go Hawks!

Softball finished 2nd for their second time as they repeated that same position as the week before at Navarro.

This crew now stands with a 9-2-1 record as they will welcome two home games this week when Burnet and Navarro come calling. This will be a good week to see how this team will start to jell with games that will not be timed and that in itself will allow the Coaches to see how the Hawks do in longer settings.

Canyon Lake won their 100th game two weeks ago and now will have their sites on getting to .500 ball with a good year.

Volleyball is the only Hawk sport with an overall winning record for team sports.

        Go Canyon Lake

Track & Field had some promising times and throws and jumps coming from the Hays Lobo Relays last Saturday.

This week will be a big test as CL will travel to Fredericksburg and have a chance to see how their District 28-4A mates will fare with some one on one competition.

The Billies have always been a large hurdle for the Hawks to clear and this will give a chance of knowing what will need to be done to clear those barriers.

A lot going on, so if you are bored, then come out to the Hawk Nest and see some games!!

Go Hawks!!!

Adia Garcia is one of many Hawk athletes that play more than one sport

The Hawk Girls Track & Field team had another good day with the Junior Varsity staying with Hays finishing 2nd with 182 points. The next school was Lehman with 52 points as the Hays and Hawk girls literally lapped the competition on this day of cinder work.

CL’s Varsity had their best day of the year with a 3rd place finish, scoring 75 points finishing behind Hays and Westwood in the 8 team meet.

“I am proud of our girls and how hard they are working both in practice and at the meets,” Head Coach John Barthels said.  “Going against the larger schools has not phased them one bit.  They know they are racing the clock each week and are just focusing on getting better.”

Caimen McDonough was one of several basketball players ready to jump to new heights for Track

Canyon Lake came out of their blocks in good fashion after their second week of action this time at the Lobo Relays at Hays High School.

Not as many teams at this meet which cleared the field and allowed a much higher point total for both the JV and Varsity teams.

The JV Boys finished 2nd for the second straight week behind Hays and with 36 more points to boot leaving CL one point better than San Marcos.

Canyon Lake had some points from those distance events. Matt Bell finished 1st and 2nd in the 1600 & 800 running events. Bell’s mile run was 7 seconds better than his run at the Hawk Relays. The 1600 run was the 4th best in Hawk history and improving 4 more seconds will have his name below that 5 minute barrier.

 Young Life says Go Hawks

The Hawks Track & Field Teams had impressive starts for this year’s season, as Canyon Lake jumped off into the year with an improving motif takes shape as each passing week will culminate with the District 28-4A Meet in April.

There were 14 schools in attendance for the all-day festivities as each running event had athletes running not knowing if their time would be good enough for placing.

Kenneth Jowers moved up to 3rd place in the Hawk 100 meter event as he started his year with a 11.31 dash.

Chance Martelli shaved a second off his previous 400 meter best while moving up to 5th place on the all-time Hawk list. Matthew Bell moved up on the Mile Run by improving his time by 8 seconds and now resides in 7th place in that category for Canyon Lake.

In those throwing events, Jacob Foster and Bradley Hight both entered the top 10 for Hawk Discus participants, now holding in the 7th and 8th spots respectfully.

Senior Brandon Courtney looks to get back to Austin this Year!

Track & Field will begin when the Hawks will welcome Schools to the Canyon Lake’s Hawk Relays this coming Saturday, February 20th.

The ReSporter has gone back in history to compile the Top Ten Track Athletes in scoring.

What you will see all the Hawk athletes below has some salty numbers as, The ReSporter, can remember three Meets where Jordan Anderson scored a maximum of 50 points.

Brandon Courtney will go into his Senior year in second place with 225 points and a chance to solidify his marks higher into CL’s hierarchy.

Half & Half on returners for the 4×400 Relay this year. Skylar Hurst & Sophia Thorpe are the returners.

The ReSporter: What has been the turnout so far for the Track & Field athletes?

Coach Barthels: “Currently, we have 46 girls that have attended practice in one facet or another as either a runner or thrower. So to answer your question, the turn out is good, but I will be happy when that number is 60.”

The ReSporter: How are you going to craft this team as this year has the potential to pass last year’s team?

Coach Barthels: “Great question, we have 4 girls that are returning that have had experience running on a varsity team.” (more…)

The ReSporter: What has been the turnout so far for the Track & Field athletes?

Coach Moses: “Just like every year the beginning to track season is kind of slow when you talk about numbers. With Basketball, Swimming, Soccer still going on, a lot of kids are finishing up those sports and then we get a better understanding of the turnout we will get. But with that said we have a good core of kids that we are working with right now.”
