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.

Canyon Lake’s All-District Selections

The Hawks have put their finishing touches to a season that started out with a lot of angst and ended up rivaling their best playoff season in three years when Canyon Lake went two games deep into the playoffs.

There is certainly a lot of work that goes into a year that starts out with the heat of Summer to finally end with cold temperatures in November.

Canyon Lake installed a new offense this season and with that construction started the year riding a six game losing streak before a win against Bandera that certainly righted a ship and moved this team to a third place finish in District 27-3A.

This year had three wins that will certainly go down in the books as classics.

Honorable Mention for Canyon Lake

Point Hawks!!

Last week the Canyon Lake community lost another icon when Scott Watson passed away.

Remembering the first encounter with Scott, The ReSporter was then The Hilltop Reporter.

While working on the sports page, Scott, called and wanted to know why The Hilltop Reporter would put the word, Lady, to describe the Hawks when writing a Volleyball headline.

Scott, quite frankly wanted us to know that he would rather that phrase be done in another way.

That conversation was over five years ago and from that one encounter, The Hilltop Reporter had found a friend.

Coaches Corner with Volleyball Coach Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: Hey Coach a tough ending to your season, what happened?

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

Coach Paisley: “I would like to start off by saying, that I enjoyed my first volleyball season with Canyon Lake. I have had amazing help from my assistants and athletic girls coordinator and AD. The girls have been eager to learn and excited for the new things to come. I feel that overall we have played well and improved from day one. Our skills did not decline the second round, it was the lack of knowledge and sheer fight that stumped us in the second round.”

The ReSporter: What would you do different, knowing what you know now after your first year at Canyon Lake?

CL Volleyball lost a must win game with Navarro last night at Mountain Valley Middle School Gynasium.

Canyon Lake whether you like it or not is in one if not the toughest Volleyball District in the State of Texas.

Simple fact with the poll from Texas Girls Coaches Association just released.

  2. Wimberley
 21. Fredericksburg
 26. Navarro
 34. Boerne

The Hawks will need to beat Bandera this Friday and then win two of the three teams that are ranked above.

Hawks in game earlier this season over Lockhart.

Hawks Volleyball can’t get any momentum in loss to Texans last Tuesday night in Wimberley.

1999/2001/2002/2003/2006/2007 are years of banners in the Texan gym telling you of their past State Champions in the Sport of Volleyball.

This year Wimberley is ranked as high as 3rd in Texas and if you took one phase that Head Coach Kim Paisley wants from her team is consistency.

Consistency is what you see in every game with Wimberley and that is what will propel them in games against the Hawks and other district opponents.

Canyon Lake opened this contest when they had a 20-19 lead in the later stages of the first game.

The Management for The ReSporter

Hawks defending in game with Llano earlier this season.

Hawks shocked Boerne in their first game, 25-18, but could not hold their momentum as Boerne won the next three games to win this match, 3-1.

Canyon Lake came out on fire as they shot themselves out of a cannon with a 9-1 lead that was stretched to a 21-10 advantage as the Hawks coasted for that first win.

The Hawks have been on the short end of matches for the last two years and their demeanor has been weak as games have been played in the recent past.

But this team has something special and there will be a game that will shock this district and this series with Boerne.
