Canyon Lake’s Softball team will be the 6th program to make the playoffs this season.
Having 5 district teams has been a big contributor but there was only one of those teams that made the dance as a 4th seed.
The Softball team will either enter the playoffs as a 2nd or 3rd seed. The Hawks will be paired with District 27-4A schools in those first round affairs, which comprise Wimberley, La Vernia, Navarro, Gonzales, and Eastside Memorial.
Maggie Banks puts a no-hitter on resume in win over Hondo
The Hawk’s kicked the Owls out of their nest with a resounding no-hit win, 11-0 on Thursday night that kept this young club on the inside track for a, 2nd place District 28-4A finish.
“The girls played a great game with no let down in intensity after a tough loss in Boerne, Head Coach John Gallagher stated. “Maggie Banks pitched a gem backed by some solid defensive plays.”
With a week left in the regular season, Canyon Lake will now set their sights on a game in Fredericksburg on Tuesday. A victory will solidify that 2nd seed for the playoffs as the Hawks will finally get a playoff game on their resume.
It has been 5 years since the Softball contingent was in the playoffs and after a complete game win over Hondo, the Hawks had all parts of their game in sync with no errors, plenty of offense, and a pitching performance that had the visitors getting no hits.

A Boerne home-run knocked the Hawks into a fight for 2nd place in District 28-4A after a loss to the front runner Greyhounds, 6-5.
Canyon Lake had the lead from the first inning to a one out 7th inning when a bases loaded home run finished the game in grand style for the home team.
Skylar Hurst will have 5 events to add more points in next week’s Area Meet
Skylar Hurst continues her quest for taking first place as she has a clear vision of Bailey Drum and needing 23 more points to realize that goal.
Hurst will be entered in 5 events in next week’s Area Meet at the Hawk Nest and that would be a good time to come out and see this young lady as well as both the Boys and Girls that qualified after completing in the District 28-4A Meet at Fredericksburg last week.
There will be several Hawks that will be in the running for a trip to Kingsville for the Region Meet to be held the end of April.
Caimen McDonough has one of the best 300 meter hurdle times and Heath McDonough will have a chance of making another trip with his High Jump event.
The Girl’s 4×100 relay team will see if they can make it around the track as they too, have whittled down there time and will try to continue their trek.
Carley Dubois, Alysha Perez, Audrey Schulze, and Madison Churbe will attempt to break the 50 second barrier as these speedsters set their sights on Kingsville.

The Ladies Track team finished in 2nd place for both the Varsity and Junior Varsity at the recent District 28-4A Meet in Fredericksburg.
CL scored their most points in district play at this meet as the Hawks seemed poised to raise the bar with more solid athletes in the coming years.
Depth will also be on display this time next year as Canyon Lake will lose a handful of Seniors while graduating up a solid JV squad.

Canyon Lake finished district in 3rd place and will be taking 16 athletes to their home track field for the Area Meet on April 19th.
“The district meet went about how we had expected,” Head Coach Troy Moses said. “We have a lot of kids advancing to Area and with a great chance at advancing to regionals…..we have a week to get a little better.”
Caimen McDonough racked up 24 points and Heath McDonough followed with 21 points as these multi-event athletes will be competing in multiple areas for a chance of making Region Meet the last part of April.
Caimen will represent CL in both hurdle runs and will be joining his brother (Heath) in the high jump.

Canyon Lake’s Soccer quest came to an end after a hard fought loss to Progresso, 2-1 at Veteran Memorial Stadium in McAllen.
“This was a fast team and we knew that coming into the game,” Head Coach Warren Graham assessed. “We did a good job of staying in front of them and I am happy with the way we played and we have nothing to be ashamed of.”

Canyon Lake are now occupying 2nd place in District 28-4A after a win over Bandera, 9-6 on Tuesday night.
“We played well early in getting up, 7-0,” Head Coach John Gallagher started. “I think we relaxed and Bandera got four runs off two of our errors…. but we were able to put up two more runs in the 7th.”
Coach Gallagher finished, “(Maddy) Puente threw well into the 5th (inning) and (Maggie) Banks closed for us.”
