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.

Hancock Mini-Mart Says Go Hawks

The busy season begins this first week of the new year as Canyon Lake Basketball readies for District 28-4A starting soon and Soccer’s scrimmage season was off and running last Friday. Add some water for Swimming and you have the start of more action as each week continues to spring up.

With the Girl’s Basketball games last week, the Hawks had the same result as the Boy’s team with an 0-fer during their first tournament after the Christmas Break, in Burnet.

There were some heavyweights in attendance with Fredericksburg giving CL a heavy dose of what they can expect when district games start. The 12th Ranked, Billies won their game convincingly over the Hawks and now a game with Lampasas on Monday will be the final tune-up game before the real contests start on January 10th.

The Lady Hawks will have Friday off and wait for another Top 25 State opponent in Boerne starts off district play.

One morsel of hope you can conclude from those tournament games last week was having 4 games with 4 or 5 freshman playing in those battles. The Holiday season had many players missing in action and those returning players can only help.

   Happy New Year & Go Hawks

CL’s Boys got back on track with a good game in beating Karnes City for the Badgers first loss of the season.

This game had some good signs, as the Hawks battled back throughout the contest in winning by 7 points as things fell into place in the 4th quarter. After suffering a bad 4 games in Fredericksburg’s Tournament, this win was needed.

Canyon Lake will face Poteet and Navarro this week with a home game this Tuesday and a short drive to Navarro for the Friday tilt. The Poteet squad has a loss to Hondo and Navarro before the Christmas Break which will help give the Hawks an idea of how they might rank with future games after facing the Poteet Aggies.

Swimming will have their one scheduled meet this month in Burnet as the Hawks will look to improve on their win in that same water last December during the 4A & Under State Championship.

Other Sports are coming with Softball as the next sport coming out of their egg shell as this time of year there is no rest for the weary.

Look for those Basketball home games to be, ‘On the Air’, when Canyon Lake’s Broadcasting will bring those games to you by Live Stream.

If you do not have the link, then The ReSporter will post that information before each contest. You can come to this weekly article to check out when those games will be ready to tip-off.

Happy New Year and Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake Freshman won their game over St. Paul Austin last Friday after outscoring the Guardians 10-1 in overtime for a final score, 46-37.

Benjamin Rowe is all smiles after sinking important Free Throws 

The Hawks went into their half-time locker room talk after a lethargic level of play during the first two quarters.

“Coach told us to take care of the ball and be more aggressive,” Nic Rivera said. “Our pick and row started working and every time we ran it I had a chance to either get the ball to ‘Rico’ (Zachery Griffin) or take it.”

“We were needing a wake-up call,” Rylee Spaulding recalled. “We were lazy on defense and we were just out of it….but the second half we got aggressive.”

The Hawks finally shook the cobwebs off their basketballs after scoring 10 points for the shorter period in giving CL a 9 point advantage when the final horn sounded in this win.

Karnes City brought their undefeated 18-0 season to the Hawk Nest and left a defeated team with a Hawk hard fought win, 55-48.

That 7 point victory was not as easy as it might look as Canyon Lake was fighting from behind for most of this contest. The Badgers jumped out to an, 11-2 lead as CL had committed 7 turnovers in the first 5 minutes in digging their 9 point deficit hole.

After a Rory Preiss 2 point shot, Jacob Ramirez would then respond with two 3 point shots in a row drawing the game back to a one point contest with 1:43 left on that first quarter clock.

KC had another 3 pointer to end this first stanza up by 4 points, as this undefeated team showed a lot of talent on the court.

Canyon Lake’s JV team scored 18 points in the first quarter and coasted to a 42 point victory over KCJV as the Badgers struggled scoring 14 points in the contest winning, 56-14.

Those 2 Badger points were scored early in that first quarter and then a dry spell for the Badgers allowed the Hawks to forge to a 21-2 lead before the next KC point with just 3 minutes before halftime intermission.

After the 3rd period, Canyon Lake, enjoyed a 37 point advantage with all hands on deck. Every Hawk had some stat to show off with no drop off as the Hawk bench looked like a game for musical chairs.

The ReSporter: What excites you about this year’s group of ladies?

Coach Tierney: “I am excited about the amount of experience we have coming back this season. The attitude these girls are bringing back this year should be exciting to watch.”

The ReSporter: Girl’s Soccer has been in a playoff several times now, what is the next step you would like to make with this group?

Coach Tierney: “The next step is playing with and even beating teams that are at that state championship level. We have to be able to play with quality teams to make a run in the playoffs.”

The ReSporter: Give us your strengths on offense for this year. (more…)

The ReSporter: These last couple of years the Soccer team has been improving, how do you feel as this season approaches?

Coach Graham: “I feel like we should be able to keep up the pattern of improving on the previous year. We only lost 2 seniors last year and we had another boy move. One of those spots will be filled by Jordan Sczech, who we lost to an ACL tear early last year, so we really only have 2 spots in the starting lineup that we have to replace.”

The ReSporter: How do you feel your pre-district schedule will prepare the team for the district games?

Coach Graham: “I tried again to schedule as many possible playoff opponents as I could in our non-district schedule. Like last year, we will be traveling a bit but I think that will be good for us. We have a scrimmage against Seguin at home and our first game will be against McAllum High School at House Field in Austin. We also have a tournament game and an away game against Floresville. All 3 schools are 5A schools and I’m hoping we will gain good experience from playing them.” (more…)

Canyon Lake just finished their 4 game tournament at Fredericksburg needing to go to a beauty salon after some ‘ugly’ games coming from the tourney 0-fer.

Offense was not in gear for these contests as the Hawks averaged 38.3 points having just 6 players able to break into the double digit cumulative scoring.
