  Go Hawks!

Canyon Lake Softball got another win over a 1st place team, at La Vernia, on Tuesday, 5-4.

This was the second time in as many games that had a Hawk opponent residing at the top of the heap to find out that this ‘Last’ place club was not really that bad of a team.

That secret formula that had alluded the Hawks was unleashed as the CL scored the first 5 runs in this game to hold on for the win by one run.

This Bear team only had 4 hits going into their half of the 5th inning as Alexis Robinson was given the ball for her last start as a Hawk. This win for Robinson was her 40th in the circle at Canyon Lake finishing just one win away from Missy Romero’s final of 41 right at 4 years ago.

Robinson also controlled her walks while striking out 9 Bears in the contest.

But the game did get scary as momentum was with the Home Team in those last 3 innings.

 ========================================

Canyon Lake Sports start to wind down as the Hawk Softball team will playing their last game of the season on Tuesday in La Vernia.

This was a difficult year for Hawk Softball as this team had a very successful pre district record but just could not get out of the circle in district play.

What made last week win over Wimberley so satisfying was that the win was against the Texans and that would be the last district game for the next two years since Canyon Lake will moving west for their district games.

Baseball is entering into their last 3 games with one game this week in La Vernia and then an off day on Friday.

CL will have their last week of action next week when they play Yoakum away and then Senior Day with Gonzales on that Friday.

Track & Field will be in action in Liberty Hill this Thursday as the Hawks will do battle with District 25-4A Schools and our district qualifiers for a chance to compete the next week in TAMU-Kingsville.

Canyon Lake has a chance of sending several athletes this Thursday as the Hawks will need to finish in the top 2 to keep their eyes on getting to Austin.

The ReSporter added some Mountain Valley schedules for this week as you can have a chance of seeing some future CLHS Hawks compete.

Go Hawks!!

Junior Brandon Courtney will be favored in this week’s Area Meet in the 300 Meter Hurdle race

Jumping into this week’s Area Track Meet in Liberty Hill will be next on the docket as The ReSporter will look at District 25-4A results and compare those marks to Canyon Lake and the athletes that will be participating.

Thursday will be a day when the field of 4 qualifiers will be whittled down to the top 2 having a chance in competing in the Region Meet.

By looking at the results below from District 25-4A you will see Canyon Lake students that competing and give you an opportunity to see what that athlete will need to perform, in a perfect world, and go another week.

                          Seniors Alexis Robinson, Kirsten Jones, and Tiare Kacir

Canyon Lake Softball got their first district win over the first place, Wimberley Texans, 4-1 on Senior Night at the Hawk Nest.

Yes, it was a long time in coming as the Hawks proved that they were not as bad as their record indicated.

“We played so well,” Head Coach John Gallagher said relieved. “We talked about what we needed to do in pre-game and they came out focused and came out and did well.”

This win had all three of the basics working on this night as the fielding, pitching and hitting combined for this long in coming victory.

Kirsten Jones went out in style in raising her batting average to .493 and a Hawk record (so far) .598 on base percentage.

Not to mention 2 more stolen bases giving her 27 for the season which would rank only behind the batter Jones bats behind, Carley Dubois.

Nathan De Leon and Drew Tyra after game with Blanco

Canyon Lake JV Baseball won their tied game against Blanco on Thursday at the Hawk Nest, 9-9.

Earlier this season, Canyon Lake played Blanco and let’s just say that The ReSporter decided not to have an article on the massacre.

It was not a pretty game and in situations like that, it is better to leave the written word in the can.

Over a month later, another game was scheduled and The ReSporter wanted to see if there had been any improvement during this season.

The ReSporter: What are your overall thoughts after District Meet?

Track and Field Coach Troy Moses

Coach Moses: “I was very proud of the performance from all of our athletes.  We set 4 school records and everybody gave their best performances of the year.  I don’t think you can ask for more.”

The ReSporter: Why was our district meet a week earlier than most other districts?

Coach Moses: “The coaches in the district decided to move the date up to give us more time to prepare for Area and Regionals.”

The ReSporter: When you have two weeks before the next meet what do you do different with the qualifiers?

Coach Moses: “It is a huge advantage, this week we will be doing some heavy training while others are preparing for their district meet.  Next week we will back off again to make sure we are ready for Area.” (more…)

The ReSporter: What are your overall thoughts after District Meet?

GO HAWKS!!

Coach Barthels: “My overall thoughts on the district track meet are that we participated at a much higher level than we have all year.  Other schools did as well, resulting in us placing 4th place instead of first, but we had about 90% of the girls run a better time than they have run all year and that is what is asked of them. “

The ReSporter: Why was our district meet a week earlier than most other districts?

Coach Barthels: “We meet and agree a year in advance as to when we will have district meets.  There is a set date that you must have district finished and if you have bad weather it gets crazy, doing things this way allows more time to get ready for the area and then regional meets as opposed to running district and then the next week have area and then the next week regionals.  It is going to help me as we have a couple of girls banged up right now and this will give us more time to heal and be at our best.”

Baseball and Softball get Gobbled up by the Cuero Gobblers as both games failed to reach the 7th inning.

This is a tough year for bats and balls as Baseball has won 2 games and this year’s Softball team is presently on a 10 game losing streak.

For the Hawk Baseball team you have youth out the wazoo as CL lost several Seniors last season and just were not loaded enough to keep that train on it’s track.

“We played ok, just could not get anything going offensively,” Head Baseball Coach Trent Dunavant stated. “We put the ball in play, just could not square anything up…so give them credit for getting the job done offensively.”

Canyon Lake’s Baseball has gone two games without a run as finding the right combination for batting is a hit and miss. (pardon the pun)

Gavin Dietrich took the loss as Cuero continues fighting for one of those precious play-off spots.
