Point Hawks!!

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013

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 has Tough night in Wimberley losing in Three Games, 22-25, 14-25, 16-25

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.

Volleyball Hawks Lose to Boerne in Four Games

Friday, October 4th, 2013
Hawks defending in game with Llano earlier this season.

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.

CL Hawks Sweep Bandera for First District Win

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013

CL Hawks win first District 27-3A contest over Bandera last Tuesday night at Mountain Valley Middle School, 25-12, 25-17, 21-25, and 25-18.

This was a must win as CL had already had one loss to Navarro to start the season and a loss to Bandera would put the Hawks in a deep hole.

This district presently has four teams that rank in the Top 25 according to Texas Girls Coaches Association.

The Bulldogs from Bandera and Canyon Lake are the only two teams in district that have not made that lofty position which tells you the importance of this contest.

Canyon Lake Volleyball will be starting their District 27-3A season this Friday at Navarro.

The ReSporter has studied the games played by their district counterpoints up to this point to test how they might stack up as the season starts up.

“Our district is tough,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said. “One of the toughest in 3A, but I am fine with a challenge.”

One of the first items to note is how tough this district will be while studying their games and teams played.

Volleyball: Coaches Corner Kim Paisley

Monday, September 23rd, 2013

The ReSporter: Tell us what you think of the team based on the first of August and now

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

midway through September?

Coach Paisley: “We have made improvements since August 5th. I feel some of us have come out of our shell and are ready to step it up.”

The ReSporter: What are some of the things you are still working on to get this team ready for district play?

Coach Paisley: “We have been working on our offense as far as attacks and getting comfortable doing those in a match. I have also been putting in game scenarios on the scoreboard and having them work on that mental aspect of “We are down by two and the score is 20-22 them…” Then they have to learn to battle back.”
