Track & Field will take a strong group to Kingsville this weekend for a Regional Meet with those Field Events commencing Thursday followed with the finals for running on Saturday. The only running event that counts will be the 3200 meter run that has Tristan Schenk and Eva Zabarcencu competing for a chance to make Austin.
The skinny for this year’s Softball & Baseball as the regular season comes to a close.
Softball will have their final two games this week and then getting ready for their first post-season date since 2021 the next week.
Fredericksburg and Bandera are the softball teams this week for sweep but a better chance to break even with a win over Bandera. A win to end district would be a good way to enter the playoff season.
At this time, Canyon Lake will be pitted against Lago Vista for their Bi-District contest.
Baseball is a little more complicated because the hard-ball teams play one school each week on a home and away schedule.
Fredericksburg is two games ahead of The Lake with two wins over Bandera and being swept by Wimberley and Navarro thus far.
Canyon Lake has been swept by Wimberley-Navarro-Davenport and after this week’s schedule with the Billies finish with Bandera.
The Hawks will need to have at least a split this week and a sweep of Bandera to end with a play-in contest with a tie. A Hawk sweep this week and next week would give CLake a playoff bid without any fuss.
The ReSporter did a deep dive into each school’s non-district schedule and which team had a tougher schedule.
Teams Played Schools beat Team’s Dist Above .500 Winning % Winning Rec Record Schools % CL Hawks .466 3 76-84 .475 69-34-3 .665 . Billies .403 4 55-69 .443 84-43-0 .661
Canyon Lake did play a much tougher schedule but with a 6 game losing streak, how this Hawk team will do can be based on what is between two ears.
Certainly a decent chance but a better fielding team would be priority #1 as that stat leads to more runs and adds pitches to that pitcher on the mound.
The Lake has a .227 team batting average in district games while averaging 2 runs per outing while CL’s pitching is presently with a 4.31 earned run average (era).
All of those variables has led to a less than stellar start when you see those first three innings with the opposition scoring 23 runs while Canyon Lake has scored 9 to counter. Just 4 runs scored through the 4th-7th innings.
The Lake needs to revert to the beginning of the year that had a better vibe which translated to wins.
Canyon Lake’s Gold team finished their Season with the Best Record for this Classification…Way to Go Hawks!
Let’s Go Hawks!
