Block Party after another Win

Canyon Lake avenged their only set loss for this season as they swept the Cuero Gobblers, 25-18, 25-15, and 25-18.

CL continues their hot streak as they win their 18th game in a row and stay undefeated at 10-0 in district play.

“We are still not done,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said. “A 12-0 record in district looks better than our 10-0 right now.”

With this win the Hawks have clinched a share of a District Championship needing just one more victory to have the title outright.

Setter Regan Mickey setting Emma Gray for the Post Kill

Canyon Lake Hawks are right on the cusp of winning their first ever District Championship as the Volleyball team took out their closest competitor, Navarro, in a sweep, 25-20, 25-20, and 25-23.

It was the second sweep, CL has forged on the Panthers this season and now with just three games remaining, Canyon Lake will need just one win or one loss for Navarro to have sole claim to get to the top of the heap.

Count the number of team sports that Canyon Lake has been involved with since that 2008 sports year.

Coach Kim Paisley instructing for placement of a Hawk Serve.

The ReSporter was able to get with a busy Coach Paisley as this year’s squad is working on a perfect district slate. Go to the updated Standings article and you will see how Navarro needed to go 5 sets in disposing La Vernia and Wimberley lost in 5 sets to upstart Cuero team.

The ReSporter: Does going through the district on the 2nd round give teams a good idea of how they have progressed? What are signs besides wins and losses that help you gauge that idea.

Coach Paisley: “I look at how we execute offensively and defensively in comparison to the first round’s execution. I like to look for strategic execution based off film study, and that is rewarding as a coach to see when your team takes from what they learned and apply it successfully during the match.”

The ReSporter: On that same note, when you look at this year’s team, how good your team is can be based on placing CL at this moment back during the Tournament season and asking yourself, which games would we win with this team now, so how many of those losses would be counted as wins? (more…)

Libero Sam York showing off floor burns in win over Bears

CL Hawks finished the first half of their district games undefeated after sweeping the La Vernia Bears on Friday night at the Hawk Nest.

Methodical would best describe this year’s club as Canyon Lake had a statement set to start the match and then coasted to their 5th district game sweep.

“We were feeling some pressure as we knew that La Vernia would have a scrappy defense and we were playing cautious,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said. “The pressure is in being 6-0 and maintaining because everyone will be better the second round.”

“Now we will have teams with nothing to lose and they will set smaller goals and that can many times allow them to stay in games,” Coach Paisley said as if she has had experience in the matter.
