Head Basketball Coach               Lucas Chapman

The ReSporter: How low does your turnovers need to be in order to be in games and a chance for wins? You are averaging right at 20 per game after 12 games.

Coach Chapman: “Our goal is to have 15 or less turnovers a game or a 20% turnover rate. Right now we are at a 28% turnover rate, which is way too high. We just have to be more disciplined with the ball and make more crisp passes. That has been our emphasis for a while now, so we will continue to work on it.”

The ReSporter: The team blocks seem to be coming from anyone on the court is that just the athleticism of the team or do you look for match-ups that can give you that type of advantage?

Coach Chapman: “Well we have a lot of size, which always helps. Really we don’t ever talk about blocks. We are more focused on not fouling and taking a charge when we get dribble penetrations, but obviously in certain situations it is nice to have some length and size and get some blocks.” (more…)

  Go Hawks

Canyon Lake needed an alarm clock to go off earlier after spotting Pleasanton a 19 point lead that could not be overcome in loss, 55-46.

It was the Hawks JV second loss of the year and a exhausting comeback try came up short after reducing the Eagles lead to 5 points in the 4th quarter.

Most of the scoring came from 3 players, Benjamin Rowe (10), Nicolas Rivera (14), and Zachary Griffin (19) points.

Jake Ramirez continues strong play in win over Pleasanton

Canyon Lake’s Dam broke on Pleasanton Eagles as the Hawks rushed out to a 24-1 first quarter on their way to a 59-47 victory on Tuesday night.

The Hawks now sport a 8-5 record with one more game before the Christmas Break.

During the first part of this game, CL, methodically took a 6-0 lead before a time-out by Pleasanton.

  Go Hawks

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks take out the Navarro Panthers with a hard fought win, 57-53.

“We really battled well all night,” Head Coach Zach Burleson said. “It was a real good win for us and this is a tough place to play.”

This 9th win tied last year’s total and with another Hawk victory, this team will have the most conquests in the past 4 years.

The ReSporter has other jobs and would like to know if any readers would like an opportunity to go skiing this coming March during the Spring Break.

You can go to the proposal by punching this address below:

This mountain is in Colorado and there are so many things to do besides skiing/boarding that the family could go and enjoy many aspects than just skiing a mountain.

Canyon Lake Boy’s Basketball started 0-2 in the Hawk Classic Tournament and ended 2-0 on Saturday to call it even after a very tiring two days of round ball action.

Young Life says        Go Hawks

The first game had Canyon Lake on the brink of their first win over the Texans, as the Hawks let a 4 point advantage evaporate in the final minute of play for a disappointing finish and loss, 53-50.

Consolation prize was having the closest game with Wimberley will have to suffice as the Hawks await another chance in January to right this ship.

Jacob Ramirez and Rory Preiss led the Hawks with 14 and 13 points respectfully as CL could not get a larger hole enlarged on the rim for their foul shots that would have increased the lead against the Texans.

CL Hawks featured the Seniors in beating Florence on Friday at the Hawk Nest, 51-17.

The fact that Canyon Lake had just two Seniors to feature did not take away from the fireworks in the 34 point victory as Florence was out classed from the get-go. Sarah Russell and Mia Riali had the honors as both players started their career as freshman and will leave a mark for future Hawks.

Canyon Lake Hawks JV 1 team won their 6th game with just one loss after taking the New Braunfels’ Cougarettes to the zoo in a, 44-13 victory.

A pair of Hawks had 12 points with Lainee Moses and Sophia Barber leading the charge for Canyon Lake.

Barber had a different outlook on this contest as a Canyon transfer that knew this opponents in a much deeper way.

Guard Barber shared how she approaches her games, “I address the situation and as a guard you have to take charge of the game.”
