Go Hawks Beat Hondo

Canyon Lake had a tough go at it last Tuesday as both Varsity Basketball Teams took it on the chin.

The Girls hosted the Boerne Greyhounds and this game was over quick as the State Ranked Greyhounds had a good all-round game with a heavy dose of offense and a lethal half court trap that kept the Hawks with very few offensive opportunities.

CL Girls will be on the road on Friday as they travel to Hondo to meet up with an Owls team that have been ranked earlier this year. Hondo lost their game with Bandera last Tuesday and will not be a happy team when CL enters their gym.

Soccer going strong no matter how Cold it is.      (Photo by Lynne Carpenter)

Hawk Soccer is going well early in the season as both Girls and Boys have shown flashes of break out games.

Girls Soccer finished 2nd in the Pleasanton Tournament and just missed a chance for a 1st Place Trophy.

“We did well this past weekend by achieving a second place finish,” Head Coach Ryan Tierney stated. The girls won their first game against Beeville Jones, 4-0 and then beat Pleasanton, 2-1.”

Rachel Bennett had 2 goals in that first game and Chloe Cullen and Brandi Schimonsky finished out the scoring with a goal a piece.

Canyon Lake ran out of gas in comeback losing to Navarro last Friday, 62-55.

The Hawks had their tank go dry in the 2nd quarter scoring 7 points and leaving CL needing more petro in order for completing a comeback win.

That 7 point deficit at half had the Panthers keeping the pressure on as they increased their lead to 11 points with 4 minutes remaining in the game.

Sharpshooter Sam Schimank scored 16 points in Win over Navarro

Canyon Lake’s JV continues to play at a high plateau after another convincing battle this time against the Navarro Panthers winning, 51-38 on the road last Friday night.

The scoring was dominated by Sam Schimank from the outside and Michael Harwell from the inside. Both players had their moments that helped carry the Hawks to this win after starting the tip-off with a tie ending the first quarter 13 all.

From there to the final horn, CL was in total control with a mind boggling 18 steals. In the first half Canyon Lake had 13 of those thefts which kept the Panthers with their paws trying to pass or shoot the ball.

That defense was impressive but the offense did their job as well with 13 assists and getting the ball to an open man paid dividends as all the guards combined for every assist.

Harwell was the main Hawk with the steals totaling 6 and leading the team cleaning the glass with 9 for this 13 point victory.

The Hawk JV team crushed the Poteet Aggies last Tuesday after storming to a 17-4 first quarter and then coasting to the game’s end winning, 63-29.

Three CL players had double figure scoring with Hank Jordan accumulated 19, Michael Harwell scored 15 and Anthony Zavala was strong off the bench finishing with 10 points and 8 rebounds.

“I’m happy with the win,” Harwell started on how this team will take this game into the next two contests. “I am looking forward to seeing us play really well as a team.”

Harwell reminds you of the ‘Ever Ready Battery’ commercial as there is non-stop action when this young man goes after the rock.

Canyon Lake looked good in beating the Aggies this past Tuesday night at the Hawk Nest with a satisfying, 76-39 victory.

“I was worried about this game going in,” Head Coach Luke Chapman recalled. “We did a good job and played with emotion and energy and sustained it throughout the whole game.”

The Hawks had 3 players reach double figures with 14 coming from a starter in Rory Preiss and the other two players shared 11 points a piece coming off the bench.

Charlie McIntosh and Bennie Brownlee were those players that continued their pressure on the Aggies after scoring 22 combined points coming off the bench.

Mia Riali has little things adding up to BIG things

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks got that bad taste out of their mouths after last week’s Burnet Tournament in beating Lampasas Badgers, 49-38.

“We needed the win,” Head Coach Zach Burleson said. “The Christmas break came at the worst time as we were getting to a good point, and now we are restarting again and it will be good to get back to a routine.”

Reagan Heun and Alexa Ramos finished with 17 and 12 points respectfully as Heun got her double-double with 11 rebounds.

This contest was separated by 3 points or less through the first quarter and 5 minutes in the second stanza before a Heun 3 pointer helped increase that lead to 6 points, 18-12.

With a 21-15 halftime lead, the Hawks, would unleash their best 3 point output of the year in the 3rd quarter as CL made 4 for 6 from beyond the arc in that 19 point barrage to increase their lead to 15 points.

Adia Garcia teams with JV win over Lampasas

Canyon Lake JV-1 squad took care of business in their win over Lampasas before starting district play next week beating the Badgers, 51-30.

Starting the game on a 11-2 run was just what was needed as the Hawks worked back in getting their groove after a long break as Lainee Moses and Caroline Kullberg both finished with 10 points leading CL on this mid-day contest.

Another surprise was seeing Emily Boylan having 12 rebounds with 8 of those rascals being possessed in the last quarter of play.

“I think we just woke up as a team,” Boylan said in response to how well the team seems to be playing as this season progresses. “We are communicating much better and we can read each other’s eyes.”

That was evident with the assists, as that stat, can only work when the passer and receiver are on the same page.
