                        Let’s Go Hawks!

It was a tough week of work for a resilient Hawk team that had some soul searching after set-back against Somerset last week.

“The lessons we learned from last week..you know they say you learn more from a loss than a win,” Head Coach Sam Parker exclaimed after The Lake’s win over Ugalde. “Last week was humbling…the kids had a great week of practices and it showed..they did a great job preparing and it showed…and I couldn’t be more proud of our kids and how they responded from last week to this week.”

Canyon Lake started this game with a resolve, to the point,  of seeing that a misspelled Ugalde team needed a correction much like this Lake team did in preparing for this battle since leaving the Somerset city limits.

Last week’s loss would be akin for a Senior High School student not making it past the first round in a grade school spelling bee.

       Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Yes, The Lake, found that Uvalde should actually be spelled, Ugalde and made their corrections all week in preparation for this Homecoming contest.

According to Wikipedia: Uvalde was founded in 1853 as the town Encina, but was renamed in 1856 as Uvalde. Its name is a misspelling of the Spanish governor Juan de Ugalde (Cadiz, Andalusia, 1729-1816). Ugalde is a name of Basque origin, meaning water-side or river.

Case in point was watching Canyon Lake needing 3 plays for their first score when QB Jace Wheeler found Peyton King with a crowning 67 yard catch and run for that first score. That catch matched a former receiver, Chase Anderson who was in attendance on this homecoming night. That 67 yards is the 12th longest in Hawk Annals.

                 Way to Go Lake!

The Lake’s defense was next up in holding these Coyotes to 4 yards and punt which gave CL’s offense the ball for a two play drive that was capped off when Chris Brown broke open for a 34 yard scamper to pay-dirt and a quick, 13-0 Hawk lead.

Ugalde did show life on their next possession but this sequence of plays stalled after 16 plays and CL taking over needing 72 yards.

Four plays later with an added 15 yard Ugalde penalty after a Gram Simpson 24 run had The Lake using a 26 yard pass to Lucas Schexnayder (Spelling Bee Champ Based on his name) for his first touchdown this season and a Hawk, 20-0 first quarter lead.

Canyon Lake scored on their first 5 possessions when Simpson scored on his 6 yard carry and he accounted for all 43 yards during this drive.

The only drives CLake failed to score happened before half and end of game that made a statement, that lessons learned were correctable.  This was CL’s best game showing a balanced offense  finishing with 211 yards on the ground and 203 via the air.

Now The Lake will have this next week off before getting back to work for a big battle with Davenport in two weeks.

The best news is knowing that CANYON LAKE is spelled correctly and hopefully this group of players can go further when the season will bring more learning opportunity for future spelling bees.

Way to GO LAKE!

It wasn’t a bounty week for Canyon Lake as Volleyball and Football could not shake that loss column.

Volleyball had that tough two game set with Wimberley & Davenport but a loss to Fredericksburg last Friday put a dent into grabbing momentum back.

This week will start with a road game to Long Creek tonight and then a homecoming night game at The Hawk Nest this Friday against Bandera. With a win over Long Creek tonight, The Lake, will clinch a post-season bid.

Volleyball will enter their last phase of their district season with four remaining battles that comes to an end on the 24th of October.

                          Let’s Go Lake!!

CLake’s Football suffered a set-back in their loss to Somerset and find themselves with the same situation as last season. Playoffs are certainly still in the mix but a second seed might be on the line based on upcoming results.

Homecoming this week against Uvalde, a team that played Somerset two weeks ago, and enjoyed a lead going into halftime. A winnable game but a consistent game is a must and not letting last week’s set-back beat the Hawk’s twice.

Cross Country had Tristan Schenk finish 4th and Gibson Cover had a 7th place finish, and the Ladies also will have two continue their season with Eva Zabarcencu and Sophie Eastland. So that makes 4 students going to Region meet this year.

Way to Go Long and Go Fast Lake!

Lucas Shexnayder maneuvering his 47 yard reception that led to CL’s first score. (photo by Daniel Clifton)

Canyon Lake ran their win streak to 5 games after staving off a relentless Fredericksburg Billies team in a minutia filled contest, 42-28.

Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!

This contest started with a lot of minutia as each team with missed snaps, delay of game penalties, just little things that added up with The Lake being able to add up more positive minutia rather than those negative minutia happenings.

On this night it was a Billie returning an interception 45 yards to start this contest that had CLake looking at their first deficit with 7 minutes left on a first quarter clock.

Canyon Lake countered with an 8 play drive that was highlighted when a Lucas Schexnayder reception covered 47 yards and helped The Lake punch it in when running back Chris Brown bulled his way into the end zone from 2 yards out.

Another special team highlight which has become a common occurrence this season featured a blocked field goal attempt by Kobe Halverson who would return that block 61 yards which gave CL a lead that would not be relinquished.

Then a defensive interception for Carter Prieto on Fredericksburg’s next possession had Canyon Lake needing just 29 yards which needed 6 plays for another Schexnayder reception… this time for 18 yards on the Billie 7 yard line. It would be a Brown brauning for 3 yards for a score and, 21-7 lead.

                                 GO Lake!

Freddie would respond two possession later with an efficient 2 pass play drive covering  67 yards and leaving 1:28 before halftime and a 7 point deficit.

Canyon Lake would capitalize next when Gram Simpson (who finished with 102 yards) covered 16 yards and that was followed with a pass interference and a 37 yard Jace Wheeler strike to Halverson giving CL a, 28-14 halftime advantage.

It would be a 9 yard sack for Joseph Matos that ended this up and down half.

Starting the second half it would be a 40 yard Simpson run followed with a Peyton King 27 yard catch that increased CL’s lead to, 35-14.

A Hawk defensive stand would ice this affair when Canyon Lake used a 6 play drive with another King reception this time for 60 yards for at TD  and a Hawk, 42-14 lead.

Freddie would stage two more scores but CL’s defense would answer the bell two more times when JR Lindell tipped a ball that went into Tristan Alexander’s hands for his first interception this season.

There was still enough of those negative minutia plays that will give coaches enough to work on before next week’s game with Somerset.

This win did give Canyon Lake a milestone with Freddie being the first school to absorb 10 losses with just 6 wins over The Lake.

Little things that can add with a goal of finishing with more positive than negative events. That formula will be needed against a Bulldog team that won their first district battle over Uvalde.

A win would give a boost to these Hawks for a chance of finishing high enough to minimize those little negative minutia things.

Way to Go Lake & Beat Somerset!

    Hawk’s JV Run out Clock in, 12-6 win over Freddie. Go Lake!

                           GO HAWKS!

The Lake’s Junior Varsity ran their district record to, 2-0 after another dominating defensive effort in win over Fredericksburg, 12-6.

“We are just getting back to the basics,” Head JV Coach Brandon Vasquez started when asked about how well this team has performed in their last two outings. “Calls are very simple and I told the guys that they have to be ready for those moments….and those guys are. We still have a long way to go and told them that if there is still time on that clock then we were going to win this game hands down and that is what it has to be week in and week out. The energy they bring to practice every week shows up on game night.”

Coach Vasquez continued, “We are nails against the board and we want to fly around and play solid football.”

Sold football was a key on this win that, The Lake, gave away one scoring drive for Freddie that went one yard after a muffed punt.  The play gave this Billie team a touchdown play for what would end up being their only score.

        Way to Make us Proud Hawks!

Other than that snafu it was Canyon Lake’s Defense that dominated allowing 2.2 yards per offensive play.

CL’s offense did respond through the air with an opening first pass that QB Damon Gracia found Receiver Dario Faz in stride for a catch and run that gave a quick score lead, 6-0.

It was during that 2nd quarter that CL’s gift allowed a Billie touchdown and tied game before halftime.

The Hawks second drive to start the second half would give CL a lead that would not be threatened when Garcia found Colten Adams on a 39 yard post play and score.

That touchdown pass converted a 4th and 21 yards needed for a first and this touchdown put a cherry on top for a win.

                                Go Lake!

Defensively CL was able to get two interceptions with that first INT having Slater Sutherland covering this Billie receiver like a blanket on a wintry Colorado night. (The ReSporter wanted to convey that Sutherland ended up having to give a red jersey back that he had commandeered off this Billie receiver)

That second INT ended any chance for a Billie comeback when Walker Galvan stole the ball on the home team’s sideline. Another theft that had Billie Fans calling 911 for assistance to get Galvan taken in for theft questioning.

Add those plays to several (11) others that had Fredericksburg losing yardage which would be highlighted when Defensive End Charles Palmer had his second sack and interviewed at Brookshire’s for a sacking gig when he stuffed Freddie’s QB for an 11 yard loss.

That was a pivotable play after CL had fumbled a punt which had Fred threatening for a score and only needing 20 yards for a go ahead score late during that first half. With that yardage loss presented a 3rd and 21 yards needed for a conversion. Knowing this Home Team was averaging 2 yards per play would make it inevitable that no score would be forthcoming.

A great win for a Hawk team that will be back at the Hawk Nest this coming Thursday when they welcome Somerset’s Bulldogs with kick-off commencing after CL’s Freshman dispose of the Bulldogs Freshman squad.

Way to Go Hawks!

Hawks Junior Varsity’s Defense in a hand-to-hand combat in shutout over JFK, 26-0.

Isaac Blinkley with a 79 yard TD run & Mason Hallmark with two sacks in Hawk’s win over Rockets.

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity was efficient in win over JFK by scoring a, 26-0 shut-out for first district play win.

The Hawk’s defense dominated by allowing a 22 yard pass and 32 yard rushing play as their only damage resulting giving up 2.4 yards of real estate per snap.

The Lake’s offense capitalized on a fumble recovery on these Rockets muffed punt snap and a one play pass from QB Damon Garcia to Peyton Vann sneaking to the right end of the end zone for a touchdown.

A Rocket 4th down gamble did not pay off on JFK’s next drive gave CL another short field on their second possession which had Isaac Brinkley darting 5 yards for a Hawk, 14-0 lead with 2 minutes remaining in that first frame.

With that muffed punt for the Visitors and a Hawk 4 yard punt that formation would force each school using all 4 downs to move the chains.

But that was not necessary on CLake’s next drive that had Brinkley playing two below on his scamper going for 79 yards to pay-dirt and Hawk, 20-0 first half lead.

   Hit Man says get rid of Pests Hawks!

Canyon Lake would take advantage opening the 2nd half with the ball and taking 6 plays that went for 65 yards and final nail in this win, 26-0.

That drive started with an incomplete pass but was followed with 4 plays going 10 or more yards when QB Garcia (16 yards) and RB Oliver Carey-Spoon (17 yards) set up an 18 yard scoring strike when Garcia found an open Dario Faz catch and run for that final score.

Canyon Lake will be up next on the road at Fredericksburg for a chance to continue their momentum and another win!

Way to GO LAKE!

(L-R) Isiah Eureste, JR Lindell and Jace Wheeler were 3 of the team’s amigos that dismantled Veterans, 49-14! Way to Go Lake!

Canyon Lake took  flight to outrun the Veterans Memorial’s Patriots, 49-14 finishing their non-district schedule, 3-1 with eyes on JFK Rockets next week to start district play.

The Hawks evened their record at two wins a piece against this 5A foe and with this victory reached the 100 plateau for this 18 year old high school.

When adding up these last two contests against Veterans it has been, The Lake, that has imposed their offensive mite scoring 126 points which comes to 1.3 points per minute.

QB Jace Wheeler's two game Patriot stat line:

Team        Comp  Att  Pct  Yds  Int  TD
Patriots    42    57  .737  804  1    11

CLHS had two receivers surpass 200 yds receiving hurdle:

Carter Williams   8   250   72   5
Peyton King      10   224   82   3

Your Hawk’s offense was efficient throughout this evening while CL’s special teams pitched in scoring twice on opponent’s punt plays.

                          Let’s Go Lake!

CL’s first drive went 75 yards with King catchingt 4 passes for 69 yards and a quick Hawk, 7-0 lead.

On a Special Team side: JR Lindell went untouched to block Veteran’s first punt attempt and decided to take this play to the house going 33 yards to pay dirt. That score had The Lake entering halftime with a, 21-14 lead.

Veterans offense was a potent ground game that had the home team answering both of CL’s first drives. With both plays, break aways, going for 65 and 71 yards. Speed kills…

This contest would still be dicey with Veterans starting their 2nd stanza with the ball.

Defensive Coordinator Kurt Sloan had other plans after halftime adjustments when the Hawk’s worked a 3 play and punt sequence.

Canyon Lake responded with a 5 play 66 yard drive that had 4 pass plays using Lucas Schexnayder (2 catches for 20 yards) and King (2 catches for 44 yards) and score that gave some breathing room for the Hawk Nation, 28-14.

After that score the game  had both teams exchanging punts for their next 5 series which culminated with a Patriot Punter botching a snap and Isiah Eureste taking it from there going 32 yards clinching a score to start the 4th quarter.

Eureste ended this battle with two fumble recoveries and can also be hired out if Hawk families might need a pick-up service. A linebacker that plays all-over-the-field with unbounding energy that produces positive results each week.

CL’s Defense forced another punt after a Vet Memorial 5 play drive…Canyon Lake’s response?

                       Way to Go Hawks!

How bout a one-play catch and run for King this time going 82 yards giving the Lake a, 42-13 advantage.

That 82 yard pass play was the 3rd longest from back in those old days that had Matt Magness traveling 88 yards (he lost his shoe on that play) and Chance Martelli’s 93 yards (if you need more details on his catch then talk with his Dad…he will use a lot of emotion).

The Patriots had their best possession in the 2nd half for 10 plays traveling 45 yards but the Lake’s defense snuffed it out on their 35 yard line.

Enter Running Back Chris Brown who took the last offensive snap for 37 yards and the final score, 49-14.

A complete game that had all three phases in this game being in full display. Oh yeah, that QB (Wheeler) also takes snaps as CL’s punter and he unloaded on a 61 yarder while also pinning the opponent deep in their territory. Wheeler finished this contest with a 42 yard average and has a 40 yard season average.

Jack Stracener continues his strong kicking this season and has moved into 3rd place in made pat’s with 76 and with more games to improve that standing.

The Lake will be on the road at JFK next Friday to open district play…Let’s GO LAKE BABY!

Libero Viv Schapp & Haley Mechler are ready to receive and dish out pain to Akins. Go Lake!

                     Let’s GO HAWKS!

Hawk Volleyball Sub-Varsity has shown a lot of athletes that have improved with another night of a sweep over on this night Akins school.

CL’s Gold team finished ahead of Akins JV, 25-15 & 25-12 as they run their record to 3-1 this season.

On what was the goal going into this game, Gold Coach Kara Barnes opined, “Our goal going into the game against Akins was to control what we can control and the court. We did a good job serving tough, keeping our energy high, and executing on our offense.”

A passing grade for this Gold team that amassed 7 aces and an eventual enough momentum for this sweep.

In that first set, The Lake, did not start strong as the Eagles were able to secure a 4 point start leading to a 5-3 lead.

That lead was helped with 11 unforced errors which by doing the math gave Akins 73% of their points in this set.

The Lake got things going when Khloe Petty started her serve and quickly gave CL a lead they would not lose with an ace and kill by Alleigh Jones.

Libero Liv Schapp quarterbacked the team to the end especially after CL’s slow start, “Liv has been an excellent leader on the court,” Coach Barnes said. “She’s consistently communicating with her teammates and working hard to keep plays alive.”

It was on Haley Mechler’s serves that ended this first set when she delivered two aces and a capping kill by Cameron Parker.

In the 2nd set The Gold team played a much cleaner set with only 3 unforced errors which help keep the pressure on Akins and eventual 13 point loss, 25-12.

Cameron Parker started this set serving a 4 point rally that had Mechler with 3 kills that put this set away early.

“Haley (Mechler) has also been a vital part of our offense,” Coach heaped praise. “Her vertical ability allows her to finish points effectively, especially during extended rallies.”

Addison Carrara came off the bench to serve an 8 point rally which would give your Hawks all the separation needed.

Mechler had two more kills during this episode along with a Leighton Hill kill.

Game-Set-Match with a their next battle being at San Antonio Cole this Friday.

Way to GO GOLD!

Preslie Owens & Kylee Goff is first line of defense in Hawk’s win over Akins.

                 Way to Go Hawks!!

The Lake continued their dominance in home games thus far after upending Austin Akins, 3-0 on Tuesday night at the Hawk Nest.

Head Coach Daniella Villarreal was able to work in several players as this season draws closer to a district slate.

CLHS was able to see 8 different players getting into the Kill column with Preslie Owens leading the way with 10 for this win.

Owens has been showing off with each additional game as she reached 3rd on this season’s list which gives CLake a slew of players that can attack the net for points.

                         Let’s Go Lake!

Te’a Gonzales was another player who was moved up from Junior Varsity full time now as this lefty gives the Lake more options offensively.

Garnering 14 aces did hurt in this night’s performance as this has been another good trait as this season has matured.

A tough district that Canyon Lake has been left out these past few years for a playoff spot will certainly give this Senior class a goal to reach when that part of the schedule gets going in 3 weeks.

The Hawks will be in action this Friday in Randolph that will have the Varsity’s first serve at 5pm followed by the Sub-Varsity.

Who were also on fire on this night in sweeping all three contests.
