Canyon Lake’s Volleyball Team now possess a 7-2 record after taking care of Lockhart in three games last Tuesday night in Lion Country.

Senior Mariah Ellis

The match started with Lockhart scoring their first three points, but that would be their last multiple point outburst for that game, as the Hawks systematically finished off these Lions and their den, 25-12.

In the next two games, CL played multiple lineups while giving their deep bench some game action in winning the next two games, 25-17 and 25-20.

Bailey Drum making a Point.

Canyon Lake finished in 2nd Place in the Tex Fest Tourney. The Hawks won their first two games before meeting a tough Kerrville Tivy team and bowing in defeat in that championship match.

First Place was not possible, but this Hawk club had several other Firsts on this weekend.

First time they were able to compete in the Gold Bracket.

First time they have had a 6 game winning streak in their history with 5 game winning streak being reached 3 times previously during the 2013, 2012 and 2009 season.

Addison Farley defeating Gravity.

CL Hawk Volleyball will go into Saturday games in Wimberley Tournament with a 4-1 record after sweeping through their Pool on Friday.

Lampasas, Hamshire-Fannett, and Uvalde all fell prey to a Hawk team that was only tested in their second game with Uvalde when they finally succumbed those Lobos, 25-20 for a chance of playing in the Gold Bracket.

Canyon Lake was quick and to the point(s) as all three games had their opponent collecting brooms after being swept.

The Hawks are in a groove with players grasping their roles on this team early.

Junior Addison Farley has made her presence known as she deprives gravity with any it’s rules when flying for a kill.

Hawks will see if they can continue there quest for respect this season as they play this Friday & Saturday

Wimberley Tex-Fest Volleyball Tournament will start this Friday with 24 teams vying for a championship podium.

There will be two teams from CL’s district competing, Wimberley and Navarro.

Canyon Lake will be in Pool 3 on that first day and will play three games with Uvalde, Lampasas, and Hamshire Fannett.

The teams will be placed in one of 4 brackets based on how they finished in pool play. The Hawks will have six total games after this two day event. GO HAWKS!!

 Friday’s Games:

Bridges Gym   @   9am   Hawks   vs.   Lampasas

Bridges Gym   @  11am   Hawks   vs.   Hamshire Fannett

Bridges Gym   @   2pm   Hawks   vs.   Uvalde

This will be a best of three format and if games finish early, then an early start will commence. In other words the times above might not be that actual time a game will start.

Coach Paisley making a point in practice last week.

Canyon Lake made a statement in their first game for this 2014 Volleyball season.

Schertz Clemens went down in defeat, 3-1 after winning their first game. CL took care of their unforced net violations and swept Clemens in their next three games.

Last year, the Hawks, started with a 0-3 whitewashing to this same school and with some good passing, rallies, and communication Canyon Lake had an ‘A’ game with this win.

Canyon Lake also said good-bye to that nasty 8 game losing streak they had in district play to end last season.

The Hawks had a similar situation as last year when CL started their season with these same two teams.

Clemens won in three games with little resistance as graduate Amber Ramsey finished with 7 kills and 3 blocks. Hayley Melone counted 10 digs and then freshman Regan Mickey with 11 assists.

Present Beats Past in Canyon Lake Volleyball, 2-1 as the Alumni rallied

Alumni will be sore tomorrow as they put on a good show against the Hawk Varsity

from a 18-8 deficit to make it an interesting finish to lose 25-23 final score.

The Past had some height and this Present team had to do some digs to keep the game out of reach for those Past players.

Present team one the first match with a little resistance, but as that second game got going, the Past hit their stride and won in overtime, 26-24.

Coach Kim Paisley will be fielding her second team at Canyon Lake and one thing should be apparent, this team will be one year older.

There were not many Seniors on last year’s squad and with a freshman playing and a few sophomores, CL could not count on having experience to help answer some shortcomings in last year’s season.

“They have come a long way,” Head Coach Paisley said when asked about how the younger players had progressed since the end of last season. “This group has always been competitive and they have kind of grown into themselves. During the off-season I started seeing it.”

The Hilltop ReSporter got wind of one more athlete who was awarded for being the best female

Sophomore Bailey Drum with Girls AD John Gallagher after being named Best Multi Sports Athlete

multi sport athlete this past season.

With the addition of Girls AD, John Gallagher, this award was born with the intent of seeing if more girls would try their hand at more than one or two sports.

Enter this year’s winner.

Sophomore Bailey Drum who started in August and continued through the Region Track Meet in Kingsville a few weeks ago.

Drum played Varsity on both the Volleyball and Basketball team as a Sophomore and proved that this young lady will be a force as she continues her high school career.

Second Team All-District in Volleyball where Drum was also active in the class room with a 95 average during her season and making Academic All-District.

A side note for CL Volleyball in District 27-3A with teams that had Academic All-District recognition.

 School                        # of Girls
 Bandera                           0

 Lillie Sander     Kacee Vrana       Emily Muniz         Trena Lorett
 Danielle Stansberry

That is one of the most impressive stats of this season as Bailey and nine other classmates dominated this honor.

Drum finished second with 207 kills, fifth with 140 digs, third with 14 blocks, and fourth with 21 service aces for Canyon Lake this past season.

The Hawks were a very young team as Freshman Mickey and Sophomore Wunderlich were the top two players in assists.

Junior Ellis, Junior Melone, and Freshman Mickey were the top three in digs and CL had the top five non-seniors with service aces.

 Melone       56
 Regan        30
 Wunderlich   26
 Ellis        21
 Drum         21

Bailey Drum Triple Jumping in the Blanco Track Meet this year

Bailey Drum also finished her basketball season finishing second in scoring with 102 points for the Hawks. With 68 rebounds, Drum, was only behind Kyndall Drum (not related) and Amber Ramsey this past season.

Drum ran or jumped (literally) to track and field after the basketball season ended, where she was active in several events this past year, but the Triple Jump was that one event that kept Drum in competition into April with a Region berth.

Drum picked a good time to unleash her best Triple Jump of her career, as she soared for a 36-02 mark in the Area Meet after finishing on the first place podium in the District Meet, jumping for 34-07.50.

How Bailey Drum performed with her best distances or times:

 100 Meter Hurdles        300 Meter Hurdles       4x400 Meter Relay
 17.00 Dist Meet          51.30 Dist Meet         4:13.63 District Meet

 Triple Jump              High Jump
 36-02.00 Area Meet       4-08.00 Blanco Meet

Notice how many of Drum’s best marks were performed near the end of her track season which certainly gives you an idea of her never ending energy and will to compete at her very best.

Congratulations Bailey Drum and The ReSporter looks forward to covering you the next two years as there will certainly be more stories ready to expound on your conquests.

The Reporter would like to thank all the many readers that have frequented this website this past year.

The ReSporter would like you to Vault into next year by placing an Ad on this site.

This has been a very successful year for the website as each month this season had more visits than any previous month since we started four years ago.

The ReSporter had 315 articles this past school year and since starting this quest, The ReSporter, has finished a total of 1,159 posts or articles.

Another way of saying, a lot of stories.

Now it is time for The ReSporter to take a few months off and hopefully come back with enough energy to get another year finished.

Our apologies for these past couple of weeks, The ReSporter, has suffered ‘Burn Out’ much like many of the Seniors have suffered from Senioritis.

With that being said, The ReSporter would like to invite you to think about helping with posting an Ad through this venue.

Since, The ReSporter, likes numbers then chew and calculate how these stats might help your business.

 School Year starting August 1 through May 28
 Year             Visits       Pageviews     Ave Time     Top 3 Cities in Visits

The * for 2010-11 represents just three months as this endeavor started after the basketball season that year, so those numbers will not have the same amount of days you could visit.

This also shows how each year has topped each previous season which should hopefully give you an idea of what might happen this coming school year.

SA and NB for the cities represent San Antonio and New Braunfels. Austin and San Marcos were right behind those two cities giving you an idea of how far this site can reach what you might be needing to sell or get across to your audience.

Thanks once again for showing support for this site and know that an Ad would cost $50 per semester and an extra $35 if you would like to have your Ad placed with articles, which many of you have noticed we started doing this past spring.

The ReSporter would also welcome ideas and thoughts that you might like to see for this upcoming school year.

Be Blessed and enjoy the Summer and tell my Advertisers you saw their Ad on my site…and Congrats to all the Seniors from Bracken and Canyon Lake. You don’t know how much I have enjoyed covering your events these past 4 years.

From Left to Right, Head Basketball Coach MaryBeth Gallagher, Head Volleyball Coach Mark Lee (OLLU), Amber Ramsey, and Head Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

Amber Ramsey will be taking her talents to Our Lady of the Lake University to play Volleyball as she signed on the dotted line Wednesday afternoon in the Hawk Gym.

This was a first on many fronts for Canyon Lake as this was the first signing in the afternoon, but more impressive, was Head Coach Mark Lee for OLLU was in attendance for this occasion.

Two things that has not happened until this day, showing how important a student and player Ramsey was and will become.

Ramsey has been around for what seems to be ages as she showcased her skills as a Freshman through her Senior year for the Hawks.

Her height allowed her to show off her play at the net for her career and now that talent will be on display in San Antonio next year.
