The ReSporter: Congrats on your game tonight…here are some questions for our next Coaches Corner.

Coach Paisley: “Thank you!!!! It was a fun match!!! We needed this match. Everyone got to play, everyone played well and stayed at our level…even with the change up in liberos and lineups!!! We were strong last night.”

The ReSporter: Navarro game will be a playoff game atmosphere for your group this Friday. What are you wanting to see in your team as they take the Panthers on?

Coach Paisley: “I expect us to come out strong and ready to play. We need to remind Navarro that WE are in second place and will remain undefeated against them this season!!!”

The ReSporter: How would you assess this team as you have seen them from their first game with Schertz to the Gonzales game?

Coach Paisley: “This varsity group has stayed thirsty from the beginning of season and until this point. We need to continue and carry this thirst into the playoffs. I always say we start strong, stay strong, and will finish strong!”

Two Blocks are better than one in win over Yoakum

Canyon Lake’s Volleyball team took care of business against Gonzales winning, 25-13, 25-15, 25-20.

The win clinches a playoff spot for the Hawks as they are now guaranteed a winning District 26-4A record and if CL lost their remaining four district games they would still have a better record than Cuero, Yoakum, and Gonzales.

This win was the 27th for the Hawks as they keep flying away from their previous 25 win season back in 2009.

Addison Farley and Mariah Ellis after their win over Gonzales

CL scored a 10-3 run as the first game got started with the Hawks running this set to a 12 point lead.

Bailey Drum led the Hawks with six kills in that first set and six other Hawks also got in on the scoring for a run-a-way, 25-13 win.

Addison Farley duplicated that same number of kills when she had six kills in the second set and playing a pivotal role in another win by more than 10 points, 25-15.

Farley finished with 15 kills and with Drum’s 16 kills, the Hawks had a good one-two punch.

“Usually, when we change up our lineups we struggle,” Farley deduced. “But talking more and playing as a team showed that we were ready from point one!”

Canyon Lake’s JV beat Wimberley, 25-21, 21-25, 25-23 on Tuesday night to stay unbeaten in District 26-4A play.

Landry Hollums and Faith Hasness after win over Wimberley JV

A hoarse Head Coach Megan Helmey started, “My girls have been working on being mentally tough and you saw how well they carried that out….I have no complaints, Landry Hollums was going all over the place and really stepped up in that last set.”

“We were executing the ball and we knew that Wimberley was going to get the ball over with a game changer with a tip or what they had been doing,” Coach Helmey commented on what was happening in her conversation with the girls during their final time-out. “I am proud of the girls and how they handled it.

The crowd was totally into this game as both schools had a lot of support.

“I came from a 5A school and I had never seen a crowd like that,” Sophomore Kaylie Duke said. “This was awesome….I knew that all of the sports are so important for Canyon Lake and this was so important for our school and our Volleyball team came together.”

Freshman Faith Hasness had a six point serve which started with a 16-17 score in favor of Wimberley to a 22-17 advantage for the Hawks.

“We were talking a lot more and we were playing more consistent,” Hasness said. “That helped us have a good fight and it got us comfortable.”

The 20th ranked Canyon Lake Volleyball team could not stop an avalanche of Texans coming down the mountain as they were stampeded into submission to the #6 Ranked Wimberley team in Texas based on the Texas Girls Coaches Association Poll.

Hawks could not dig out of their hole in a loss to the Texans

This match was over after the first serve as Wimberley was leaving no question to who the #1 team in District 26-4A would be after this evening’s game.

A resounding three game sweep where the first two pivotal games CL was only able to score 14 and 13 points.

Wimberley did not allow Canyon Lake two points on serve but one time and that was way after this match had been decided in the third game while the Texans were holding a 22-14 edge.

Discombobulated would be a word to describe this Hawk team as they continued to slip on this night when the Hawk Gym was full of fans from both towns.

====================================

District Recap:

Canyon Lake and Wimberley will battle it out this Tuesday in the Hawk Gym for what will give the winner the inside track for a District 26-4A title.

Y4 Custom Homes Sponsors CL Volleyball

Both teams come into the Tuesday’s game undefeated in district play with each team needing only one more game to complete the first round of district games which will end with Friday’s tilts.

A little Wimberley history will help put this game into perspective. This will not be Wimberley’s first rodeo.

The Texans have a 15 year streak of winning district titles. In fact, The ReSporter could only go back six years for records, but in those six years, Wimberley has yet to lose a district game.

Since 2009, the Texans have a 57-0 record in their district games. That would also tell you that Canyon Lake has never won a match with Wimberley.

One step further, CL has had one game where a game went past 25 points. The Hawks average score with Wimberley is 16 points with a few times having the Hawks not even reaching double figures in points scored.

One more tidbit, Coach Kim Paisley was on those teams which established this run of never losing.

What will it take for CL to start with a chance of seeing if their is enough room at the top for another team besides Wimberley?

Common opponents will give Wimberley the edge for this Tuesday night game, but that is why they play the games instead of having pundits like The ReSporter looking into a crystal ball for finding out who a winner would be.

A full gym needs to be a way of showing this Hawk team of your support. If a win is accomplished, then when you talk to your friends in the future, you can be truthful when you say, “I was there when Canyon Lake ended the Texan’s streak.

Both Sub-Varsity teams are also undefeated, so come early as both schools fight it out for District 26-4A supremacy

Cuero has been the most surprising team that has not lived up to pre/district records. The Gobblers are tied with Gonzales for last place needing to win two games this week to give them a chance of moving up for that fourth playoff spot.

Navarro will distance themselves from the other district teams with one game this week with hapless Gonzales. La Vernia, Yoakum, and Cuero will be seeing who can solidify that fourth playoff opportunity.

Come back to this Standings site as The ReSporter will update scores as games are played.

Go Hawks!!!!

Coaches Corner with Volleyball’s Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: If you could play Kerrville Tivy again with the team you have right now, what would your result be? (Hawks were beaten by Tivy in their very first tournament in the championship game)

Coach Kim Paisley giving instructions on a serve with Mariah Ellis

Coach Paisley: “We definitely would play better defense at the net and our offense would execute more efficiently.”

The ReSporter: What has happened this year that has allowed this team to make such a turn around from last season?

Coach Paisley: “As soon as season ended last year, this group of girls set their own personal goals, (I had no prompting in this for them), to work hard in offseason, attend amazing meaningful camps, play club ball all spring, join summer league, and attend open gym/private lessons all summer!”

The Undefeated CLJV take instructions after sweeping Navarro on Tuesday night.

Canyon Lake’s JV and Freshman teams both swept the Navarro Panthers on Tuesday night as both teams find themselves undefeated in District 26-4A play.

“Nothing was easy in this game,” Head JV Coach Megan Helmey started. “Navarro has a scrappy team….after our tournament in the Hays Tournament we have jelled as a team.”

In the JV game, the Hawks, finally got the upper hand in their first game when they scored the last seven points to win, 25-20.

The game started with a CL run and, 4-0 lead only to see this Panther team storm back and take control of the middle part of this contest.

Canyon Lake JV found themselves down as many as four points, 17-13 before their onslaught would be unleashed.
