Hanna White played well in win over Kerrville

Canyon Lake had a two act play on their final day of Volleyball in the NEISD Tournament finishing with a win after two losses.

The Hawks started Saturday with a decent and competitive loss to 6A SA Madison losing 1-2.

Then a turnaround game with East Bernard with no time to rest and the Brahmas took advantage with a 2 set sweep.

That last set was a scorcher as the Hawks only mustered mayonnaise with 5 total points making for a sloppy sandwich and an upset stomach.

“Let’s just say we had a heart to heart discussion,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said eloquently. “We had some tactics for Tivy and it did great and we were fired up to play them (Kerrville).

 Hawk Proud

Canyon Lake had a successful day playing Class 6A schools on their first day of competition at the NEISD Tournament at Churchill High School.

SA Clark was the only loss as Clark finished the day with a 10-2 record after sweeping the 4 team pool play.

CL Hawks finished second in pool play after beating SA East Central and Los Fresnos and giving them a date with SA Madison at 10am.

“I don’t want to have to call a time out tomorrow and ask our team to get intense,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said adamantly. “I want us to play with more consistency and more confident.”

Sam York helps Hawks sweep Lockhart

Canyon Lake Volleyball swept the Lockhart Lions on Tuesday night by duplicating their 25-19 score for the match. The win was the 5th all time as CL has yet to be beaten by the Lions.

The Hawks were in control for the first two games and then the Lions decided to get their act together with an 8 point rally third game early to go ahead, 13-5.

That 8 point lead continued with Lockhart up 18-10 with momentum to go another game into the set.

CL was not having a good time for that part of the game by committing 3 service errors and another 8 unforced errors during this fog driven game.

Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: What is your take after the first week of games for this group of ladies?

Coach Paisley: “I saw some really great things as far as the growth and the development of team chemistry. We did really well at the team level and I was able to get everyone in and run different combinations of rotations.”

The ReSporter: What are some items you will concentrate on as you start the second week?

Coach Paisley: “Well, after passing all week in practice, that really made a difference in our play at TexFest. We still need to work on fine tuning our serve receive. I feel offensively, on Friday, we got comfortable and were able to expand our options and offensive plays at the net.” (more…)

Junior Faith Hasness starts 2nd Year on Varsity

Canyon Lake Volleyball finished Tex-Fest Tournament with a 5-1 record and continues to improve during pre-district after beating Bastrop to end their Saturday play.

“I felt like we played together but we still have a lot to work on,” Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley said. “We had better competition today (Saturday) and I hope Laredo United wins.”

Laredo United was the one loss in tournament play as this 6A school had all the tools in that first matchup with the Hawks beating CL, 25-18 and 25-14/

The Hawks played a 5A school in Bastrop later Saturday and swept their opponent, 25-22 and 25-20.

“This afternoon we were blah,” Coach Paisley said matter of factly. “But a win is a win but we just did not have any intensity….I can’t have the intensity the team has to carry that on their on.”

Anna Bettersworth and Paige Bower will both be keys on this year’s Volleyball Team

Canyon Lake Volleyball rebounded by winning 4 games on opening day at Wimberley Tex-Fest tournament.

The day started at 9am as CL seemed to be in a daze or still asleep as the Hawks had a lot of unforced errors but this game was turned around as Landry Hollums served for 6 straight points helping erase a 3 point deficit and a win, 25-22.

Hollums was able to get her two aces in during that comeback as Kaylie Duke and Regan Mickey helped with a kill each.

Canyon Lake were still shaky playing Caddo Mills in the first game, but after getting cobwebs cleared the Hawks had their most convincing win of the year getting separation and then pouring it on against the Foxes’ winning by 14 points.

Go CL Hawks

Canyon Lake started their 2016 campaign with two losses against Schertz Clemens and Liberty Hill on Monday at the Hawk Gym.

Clemens was lethal as the Hawks found it hard to get offensive points that was not a result of a service ace.

“Clemens came out dominating,” Head Coach Kim Paisley started. “Liberty Hill played them better than we did….we had too many errors.”

Canyon Lake was a step late or pass gone awry throughout the contest.

“We would have a great dig and then hit the ball out of bounds,” Coach Paisley lamented. “Our intensity level picked up after that first set, they will have to set themselves apart and show that they are ready to play.”
