Canyon Lake’s Cross Country team was one of the sports to go from a tough district to an impossible district after the realignment of schools.

The Hawks district was tough with La Vernia and other schools last year, but CL’s Boys team did qualify for Regions both years.

  Jellystone Park says Go Hawks

The varsity volleyball game against Hondo, Friday night, gave Coach Kimberley Paisley the chance to utilize her bench and try new strategies and player positions. The Lady Hawks swept the Owls in three-game match, winning with scores of 25-7, 25-8 and 25-19.

In the first game Coach Paisley started her team as she always does, but quickly began to change things up allowing her players to take on different positions on the court to strengthen her chances against tougher teams. Hondo was unable to stand against the mental  toughness of the Hawks as they continued to place the ball in all the right places to score and that score quickly rose to 10-3. Paige Bower was a force to reckoned with at the net. If the ball hung at the top of the net, Paige was there to cram it into the Owls’ open court.

Hawks JV fumbled away a win in their game with Akins last Wednesday at the Hawks Nest, 28-30.

Canyon Lake started with a fumble on their first drive and continued that trend through the rest of this contest.

The Hawks scored on their second possession as Connor Rose returned to the line-up after missing the past two games. Rose scored from the 8 yard line and finished the game with 72 yards.

This Akins JV team was undefeated coming into this game and escaped by the skin on their teeth when they scored leaving 30 seconds on the fourth quarter clock.

Canyon Lake Freshman squad rebounded with win over an undefeated Akins team at the Hawk nest, 22-16.

The CL Freshman started this game on shaky ground by gaining just 6 yards on their first three plays and punting to this unbeaten Akins Eagles.

Akins would march the ball for 15 plays and CL’s defense holding on and taking over on their own 23 yard line.

Don’t Underestimate the Jumping Ability of Perez

Canyon Lake Volleyball started where they left off last year in district play as the Hawks ran their streak to 14 wins in a row after sweeping Boerne, 3-0.

“Ever since last Tuesday night we have been having stellar practices,” Head Coach Kim Paisley stated. “We had a good film session and we were energized all night and did not let up.”

The Hawks took the first two sets with little resistance after, 25-15 and 25-16 victories. Then the 3rd set interjected a bit more drama as the Greyhounds started to find their stride as they rounded the corner on the track.

Hill Country Furnishings says way to go Hawks

The Eagles had an open date last week which will add another ornament on the tree of how CL will attempt compete with a team two classes larger.

Akins is on a two game losing streak after starting the season 2-0 with wins over two teams that have a combined 1-9 record. However that sounds familiar to CL’s schedule as they too started their season 2-0 and those two teams now sport a 2-8 slate.

The Eagles offense has averaged 15 passes a game and 92 yards through the air. That comes to 6 yards per attempt and Akins will have 3 players that will dominate the reception of those throws.
