Next up for this year’s countdown of the top 10 games will have us back on the football gridiron as the Hawks won an important game against Boerne that, at the time, catapulted CL into first place in their district race.

Canyon Lake released their 2017 Football Schedule and will face the same schools as last season as they will have a quest of finishing with another opportunity for playing games on top of District 28-4A.
Last year, Canyon Lake, had their best season record wise since the 8-2 record during the 2011 year.

The Top Ten Count Down for Hawk games this past year is now ready for the 4th place contest.
The Last shall become First and these past two years we have seen an awakening of two sleeping teams that have since been supplying the Hawk Nation with some memorable moments.
CL’s Boys Basketball and Soccer were the last two teams to be entered into the post-season last year and now those same two teams continued their ascension by improving their district seed while enjoying their first winning records.

Coming in at #5 for the Top Ten Countdown will be Canyon Lake’s win over Boerne in Boy’s Basketball.
The Boy’s Basketball program has struggled for many years and made the playoffs for the first time last year but with a losing record.
This time around the Hawks had a solid Senior Class and that group of players will be known for having the first CL winning record along with an, ‘IT’ game, played against the Boerne Greyhounds during the first round of district contests.
Jenna Pritzkau wins All-District 27-4A Goalkeeper of the Year
Canyon Lake’s Girls Soccer team was plentiful in awards after a promising season.
2017 District 27-4A Girls Soccer Awards
Goalkeeper of the Year: Jenna Pritzkau
“Jenna has been a vital part of our success this year,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney said. “With a Save percentage of 84% and a season total of 140 saves, it is no wonder she won this award.”
Kat Weber signing on the dotted line for a chance to play at Trinity University
Canyon Lake’s, Kat Weber, will be taking her bat and glove to College as she signed to attend Trinity University next year playing softball this past week.
Weber was a mainstay for CL during her career on the diamond as this young lady locked down the catcher position the past 3 seasons after following Brianna Young and Katy Payne.
The Hawks have been blessed with three consecutive good fielding catchers which some say might be the toughest position to play.

The CL Hawks had good representation for District 28-4A awards in Softball for the 2017 season.
Maddy Puente brought home the Offensive MVP for the Hawks after swatting the ball with some degree of authority during her freshman campaign.

Number 6 for the count down will be a Girl’s Soccer game as the Hawks have continued to put competitive teams on the field since their first kick in 2010.
That 2010 team is still the only girls soccer team with a winning district record as this upstart team finished that year with an 8-5-1 slate and then became one of many teams to make the playoffs that second year of battles.
