Bailey Drum signing for a chance to play at Angelo State University
Bailey Drum signed her letter of intent to attend Angelo State University with a Volleyball scholarship earlier this year.
Drum will be going to Ram country this next Fall to continue her dream sport of Volleyball.
Angelo State had a 33-6 record last season after going 3 rounds in the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Rams will be graduating just 3 seniors on last year’s team as Drum will be thrown into the fire quickly for her first year of competition.
Drum finished her career at Canyon Lake with some impressive numbers.

The ReSporter: Coach Drum, give us an idea on how your off season has progressed.
Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum
Coach Drum: “It has gone real good…we have more than ever involved as we have 4 teams and we are excited about the numbers in hopefully getting some depth for next year.”
The ReSporter: Does this might mean having enough players to specify either on offense or defense?
Coach Drum: “Luckily that will be the case, we have the numbers with the lower grades but you might have enough for the lineman but not the skill positions, so it is still a wait and see game.”
The ReSporter: I know in the past, Mountain Valley would send students over to Canyon Lake this time of year and have an opportunity to show them the ropes, is that still something that is done?
Coach Drum: “We go over there during their athletic period and we will have several of our coaches with those students.” (more…)
Robert Woods with an army of Coaches having his back
This time of year will always have some touching moments as many 18 year old students embark on making their mark in life and say good-bye their high school days.
On Thursday of this past week, Robert Woods, was using his time wisely as he chose a College he could get a higher degree while playing a sport he had grown to love, football.
Mary Hardin Baylor will be the recipient school to enjoy an athlete that will give them his all.
Woods was part of a small Senior class, but these students made up for it as each player had a significant skill set that they translated into making their team get all they could out of the leadership shown by example.
Whether Woods was playing football, basketball, or scoring points in Track & Field, this young man did not leave school thinking he could have done more.
Coach Paisley doing what she does best: Motivate
The ReSporter: What do you do different this year compared to last year when you had so many girls that had so much experience?
Coach Paisley: “Well, no matter what group you have and how experienced they are, we give them every opportunity and push them to be the best they can be. We lost 7 seniors after this season, but we as coaches will challenge and push our athletes to be the competitive athletes. We are never the exact same year to year, and we have a totally new dynamic of a team this upcoming season. We will be teaching on a more tactical level with game situations and really express the “why’s” behind what we are teaching.”
The ReSporter: What have you seen so far that has made you say this could be another good year?
Coach Paisley: “We are the same Hawk team as far as expectations are concerned, but I have seen some great strides the girls have made through the offseason and club season. We really do have some great returners and some great kids that are up to the challenge filling in the holes left by this past year’s seniors.” (more…)

The ReSporter: How did this year stack up with your previous years?
Hawk after a downing several pounds of Crawfish
Craw Martelli: “The 9th annual Crawfish Boil was a great year! The 7th Annual was a good year but it falls short of this years success. We boiled up 1200lbs this year and sold every last one ,compared to 750lbs in 2013.”
The ReSporter: Compare your first year with this last Saturday’s Crawfish.
Craw Martelli: “The first boil was just 4 family’s eating crawfish in the back yard and maybe finishing off two sacks-70lbs. Comparing it to HCB #9,……. it would be like me comparing the Slot -T offense to a Spread offense, Veer or three separate offense but its all football, ya just cant compare them as far as fundraising goes. However, its always goodtime to hang out with all your friends for a good cause- CL Athletics.”
The ReSporter: Having the event at Brookshire’s had to be a boost based on their location and how they support the Hawks, do you think that had anything to do with this year’s event?
Craw Martelli: “Brookshire Brothers really came through for us and the community. They are 100% behind our CLHS and its causes. Kenneth Moore the store Manager and Kaci Spence – the Lakeside Café and Bar Manager, really opened up the doors for us and the crowds kept coming steadily all day until 8pm. This location helped drive out of town people into the event and it helped the cash register chiming along, at least that’s what Dr. Hartman said, they keep me in the back and don’t let me out much.” (more…)

Emma Gray #5 after Hawk Timeout in Volleyball
Last Summer a new student started practicing with the Varsity Volleyball girls as this young lady had played that sport at her old school.
What would be going through your mind if put in that situation when you are all of a sudden hanging out with future teammates and knowing that your sport would commence in 6-8 weeks.
Being separated from those friendships and your old stomping grounds would certainly take a special type of person to persevere their last year of high school in a new atmosphere.
Emma Gray had that situation at Canyon Lake this season as she started during those middle of summer months playing volleyball and without much rest, a segue into basketball, before finishing her one year of school in the hill country running track.
Go Hawks!
Another year of Hawk Sports has now been entered as The ReSporter finishes the 5th year of covering Canyon Lake.
During the month of May, The Resporter, will go over some of the best games to rekindle so many good happenings.
As this was the last year of having Yoakum, Cuero, La Vernia, and Gonzales in our district and next season, Wimberley and Navarro will also be going to other districts.
Canyon Lake will be the furthest school to the east as Fredericksburg, Boerne, and Bandera will be reunited with the addition of Hondo to round out the 5 team group of schools.
Senior Dylan Hodges leaves game with a smile
Canyon Lake finished their year with a win and on a night of celebrating Senior Night, you can note that the word Senior is not plural.
Dylan Hodges finished his career for CL by turning a double play and knocking in the final run of a 4 run third inning that iced the game.
Finishing with a .545 on base percentage, the Hawks, were clicking on all cylinders as the game only had one hiccup by giving up one run in that first inning.
Gonzales was first ball hitting in that first frame and a first pitch strike was stroked for a triple and the Hawks found themselves like so many other games this year, fighting from behind.
