               Go Hawks

Canyon Lake took Luling out to the wood-shed in their win over Eagls after spotting the home team to a 2 point first quarter lead before laying the wood in a, 57-30 victory.

“We started off slow, but really picked it up on the defensive end, which led to steals and easy points,” Head Basketball Coach Lucas Chapman started. “Our defense really carried us as we didn’t shoot the ball real well and turned it over way too much. Like I told them after the game, we have the ability to have a great offensive team if we can limit our turnovers. Overall it was a good win.”

Canyon Lake took a 5 point first quarter deficit and finish with a 15 point win over Austin Crockett on Tuesday night in Austin, 52-37.

  Go Hawks

“It was rough at the beginning,” Head Coach Zach Burleson started. “We were frustrated but battled through it. It’s good to come back from adversity. Then again, I need to find a way to get us starting better.”

Those 19 points given up in that first quarter by the Hawks had the defense not allowing that many points combined for the rest of the contest while an impressive 20 point second quarter   giving CL enough fire power to build their lead till the end.  

“The defense did their job that turned a rough start to a win,” Coach Burleson assessed. “We played good after the first outscoring them, 38-19 in the last 3 periods.”

Char Hutson one of many Hawks that do those important little things

Canyon Lake Lady Hawks wrestled through another tough tournament while going 1-3 this weekend in New Braunfels at Canyon High School.

The Hawks were in all of their games but having such a diverse team that ranges from freshman to seniors on the roster will many times produce those parts of the game where climbing the mountain a fall is always around the corner.

In most of these contests, the Hawks, started slow and found themselves trying to catch up to have a chance for the win.

CL had 5 freshman on the roster and getting significant playing time for future games that will prove fruitful.

“Overall, the tournament was tough and we had moments of good with some struggles,” Head Coach Zach Burleson surmised. “We didn’t play our best at all times but hopefully playing bigger schools will help us prepare for the district season.”

Somersits on Canyon Lake in Championship Game

Rory Preiss after scoring 32 points in game with Marion.

Canyon Lake forged a good two game stint in Marion’s Tournament this week-end but meeting up with Somerset for the second time in one week did not produce any positive results in losing, 80-54 in the Championship contest.

The Hawks beat Gregory-Portland and Marion to reach the final game as CL can now attest that the Somerset Bulldogs are a good team with very few (if any) weaknesses.

On Friday, Canyon Lake started the tournament with Jacob Ramirez and Rory Preiss coming through scoring 13 and 18 points respectfully.

The Hawks were ahead for most of this game but did find themselves with a bigger fight than they wanted as G-P closed the gap during that last stanza. Canyon Lake would have an answer with each Gregory-Portland run for an eventual win.
