~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Week @ The Lake is starting to thin out with sports coming to an end but still enough for the Hawk Nation to take note first giving a shout out to CLake’s Softball team who reached the playoffs and will be playing this Friday at Cedar Park taking on Lago Vista who finished first in District 25-4A.

There was one common opponent….Marble Falls who beat Canyon Lake but these Mustangs were beaten by the Vikings.

It will be a one game playoff for a chance to advance into the Area Round. Let’s Go Lake!

Baseball needed a split in their series against Fredericksburg by winning their Friday must-win game, 14-6. This game had a lot of bats producing multi run innings which will set the stage for The Lake needing to sweep Bandera…a loss will eliminate the Hawks. Some scoreboard watching will be a pastime for Hawk fans who will be rooting for Navarro in hopes they will be able to sweep the Billies.

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

It is a simple math needing to sweep and your counterpart needing to be swept. If those ingredients come to fruition then Canyon Lake will have a play-in contest with Fredericksburg this Saturday. That will be known as soon as possible for Hawk fans to make plans for that hopeful moment.

The Lady Hawk Track Team finished 2nd place at their Region Meet in Kingsville and will now have a good contingent of Ladies still training for their final season meet in Austin.

That State Meet will be May 1st and The ReSporter will have an article later this week to help set the stage on what this Hawk team will need in order to finish this season strong.

Also, notice on the above dates, Mountain Valley MS Softball and Baseball will start their short season with an away game at Smithson Valley MS on Thursday and then will be at the Hawk Nest this coming Saturday with games starting at 10am.

A good week for The Lake!

Carter Williams was perfect from the batting box going 5 for 5 with 2 doubles an a homer in, 14-6 win over Billies. Go Hawks & Beat Bandera!

                      Way to Go Lake!!

Canyon Lake came into their Friday night contest against Fredericksburg with a need to win or go home situation. A preface of this being a playoff atmosphere to have a chance of making the postseason.

The game was a success for a Hawk team that had been in the doldrums since that first pitch to start district play that had this Lake team without a win. CLake had scored 15 runs in their 7 district games and decided to break out of this prolonged slump amassing 14 runs leaving no doubt scoring 12 runs in those first three frames of this game.

Carter Williams was the big man on campus going 5 for 5 that had 2 doubles and a home-run scoring 4 runs.

        Way to Make us Proud Hawks!!

Williams also produced on the mound after surrendering the first run after CL was sitting on a 12 run advantage. The Hawks still have a fielding problem tho seeing 6 runs scored and only one of those scores being earned.

But on this night Fredericksburg one upped the Hawks committing 6 errors which was 4 more than Canyon Lake had received in their previous 7 district outings.

Michael Anderson continued his hot bat with 2 doubles, 2 rbi’s, and 2 runs…in fact, Anderson (.762) still has a slugging percentage higher than Williams (.700) in district play.

MVMS Baseball & Softball starts April 24th 630pm! GO LAKE!

This win will have your Hawks doing some window watching as a playoff has two more hurdles to clear to realize this opportunity. The Billies will need to lose both of their games with Navarro to end the regular season while, The Lake, still has to take care of business in beating Bandera this week.

A road game on Tuesday and then their final home game with the Bulldogs this Friday.

If these hurdles are cleared then both teams will have a one game play-in contest this Saturday.

At least, there is a chance, to barrow that iconic movie phrase from (Dumber and Dumber) for those who were alive back in 1994.

Way to GO LAKE and Beat the Bulldogs!!

                                 Ayren Lightfoot loves this time of the year…Let’s G0 LAKE!

                 Way to Go FAST Hawks!!

Canyon Lake will have a strong contingent competing at the Regional Meet in Kingsville starting Friday with the 3200 meter run and field events. Last year, The Lake, finished in 6th Place at the Region Meet and with two good relay’s might be able to top that finish.

The ReSporter has compiled the best marks from all 4 Area Meets and where each Hawk participant stands going into this meet.

What is not known are the performances a pr? (Personal Best) or what were the weather conditions and finally what their rest of the field performed. For instance, there was a 3200 meter run winner in the Area 31-32 Meet who won by 17 seconds….would that athlete have a better time based on a runners who had better times.

      Hawk Proud!

In other words take those times and distances below with a grain of thought but it will certainly give you an idea of what is needed to finish in the top 2 for an invitation to Austin in two weeks.

GO FAST & JUMP FAR-HIGH HAWKS!

Be Authentic with your Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

Track & Field will take a strong group to Kingsville this weekend for a Regional Meet with those Field Events commencing Thursday followed with the finals for running on Saturday. The only running event that counts will be the 3200 meter run that has Tristan Schenk and Eva Zabarcencu competing for a chance to make Austin.

The skinny for this year’s Softball & Baseball as the regular season comes to a close.

Softball will have their final two games this week and then getting ready for their first post-season date since 2021 the next week.

                               GO LAKE!

Fredericksburg and Bandera are the softball teams this week for sweep but a better chance to break even with a win over Bandera. A win to end district would be a good way to enter the playoff season.

At this time, Canyon Lake will be pitted against Lago Vista for their Bi-District contest.

Baseball is a little more complicated because the hard-ball teams play one school each week on a home and away schedule.

Fredericksburg is two games ahead of The Lake with two wins over Bandera and being swept by Wimberley and Navarro thus far.

                                Go Lake!

Canyon Lake has been swept by Wimberley-Navarro-Davenport and after this week’s schedule with the Billies finish with Bandera.

The Hawks will need to have at least a split this week and a sweep of Bandera to end with a play-in contest with a tie. A Hawk sweep this week and next week would give CLake a playoff bid without any fuss.

The ReSporter did a deep dive into each school’s non-district schedule and which team had a tougher schedule.

         Teams Played  Schools beat  Team’s Dist   Above .500
         Winning %     Winning Rec     Record      Schools %
CL Hawks   .466             3        76-84  .475   69-34-3  .665 .
Billies    .403             4        55-69  .443   84-43-0  .661

Canyon Lake did play a much tougher schedule but with a 6 game losing streak, how this Hawk team will do can be based on what is between two ears.

MVMS Baseball & Softball starts April 24th 630pm! GO LAKE!

Certainly a decent chance but a better fielding team would be priority #1 as that stat leads to more runs and adds pitches to that pitcher on the mound.

The Lake has a .227 team batting average in district games while averaging 2 runs per outing while CL’s pitching is presently with a 4.31 earned run average (era).

All of those variables has led to a less than stellar start when you see those first three innings with the opposition scoring 23 runs while Canyon Lake has scored 9 to counter. Just 4 runs scored through the 4th-7th innings.

The Lake needs to revert to the beginning of the year that had a better vibe which translated to wins.

Canyon Lake’s Gold team finished their Season with the Best Record for this Classification…Way to Go Hawks!

Let’s Go Hawks!

The 7th Inning Huddle before The Lake put finishing touches on the Panthers, 10-5!    Go Lake!

                       GO HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake clinched a playoff berth with their, 10-5 road win over Navarro last Tuesday.

The Lake used the binary scoring system (using #’s 2 & 1) during those first 4 innings starting with 2 runs then 1 run during those 4 frames. When that math was done, The Lake enjoyed a, 6-1 advantage.

Navarro did not give up holding CLake without a run in the 5th inning and scored their second run drawing within 4 runs with two innings remaining.

The Hawks put across another run but these Panthers responded with a 3-run homer and now going to the final inning needing 2 runs for a tie.

That was when the insurance salesman got involved for Canyon Lake by scoring 3 runs for a needed term policy with a 5 run lead.

                     Let’s Go Lake!

It was a three up and three down for these Panthers to end the game.

Canyon Lake started with Rianna Gonzales getting her 5th win in the circle this season. Aubrey Long finished the game that finished with both Ladies giving up just one earned run a piece.

Liza Shexnayder used her lead-off spot in the lineup getting on base 5 of her 6 at bats which was productive with a 2-run double that helped increase Hawk’s lead to, 6-1 which would be the winning hit.

The Lake is down to their final 3 games at the Hawk Nest starting with Davenport this Friday. The Hawks have officially clinched since a Navarro 3-0 finish would still leave a tie with CLake but a 2-0 record against Panthers would break that tie in favor of The Hawks!

Still a lot of games to shore-up some defensive shortcomings but a playoff goal has been reached and time to up the next goal for this team.

Canyon Lake’s last play-off was the 2021 season when this group of seniors were in 8th graders and a Bi-District crown would match that 2018 Hawk squad who bowed out in their Area round.

Way to GO Hawks!!

          Kennedy Grindle~Katelyn Lowth~Shana Cutrer take the podium for Pole Vault success! Vault High Hawks!

The Hawks will be in Wimberley this Thursday for their Area Round of Track & Field when District 15-4A will bring their 4 top performers to battle it out with District 26 for a chance to clear their next hurdle in Kingsville next week the 18-19th.

This article will show what times or distances from District 25 did for an idea of what the CL contingent will need to reach for that Kingsville experience.

For The Lake Ladies their time will be the best time for this season and what was posted last week at the district meet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be Authentic with  Hawk Gear & LET’s GO LAKE!

A mixed bag of results from the past week that had Softball split their two games with an important win over Bandera and then a tough set-back with Wimberley in a one run loss.

That Bulldog win left The Lake with 2 wins putting them in a 4th place slot and if that could be duplicated during the next two weeks a playoff berth. CLake road game on Tuesday could solidify a spot with a win over Navarro that would finish a sweep of the Panthers and the separation needed for that final post-season berth.

Baseball continued in their swoon losing their two game series with Navarro. Canyon Lake has another tough two game stretch this week that begins on the road at Davenport before that return battle at the Hawk Nest. A split or sweep would be needed….big time in realizing a chance to get back in the middle of a race for a good seeding.

CL’s Gold~Green teams continue their maturation with the Green Squad pitted against Navarro while the Gold Hawks will have a double-header with the Billies on Saturday starting at 11am.

Track & Field took the Gold at district last week with a comeback win over Fredericksburg coming out on top with a 3 point win, 150-147. It was the Ladies 3rd Meet win this year and first ever district conquest.

          Way to Make us Proud Hawks! 

Playoff’s for track will begin this Thursday at Wimberley when District 26-4A will be competing against District 25-4A with the top 4 of each of those events continue their trek for a date in Kingsville April, 18-19th.

Jacob Price was the only boy trackster able to qualify for the Area competition with a 40-10.25 for the Triple Jump event.

For the Ladies, there were several that will be trekking to Wimberley and The ReSporter will have another article before Thursday Meet.

Way to GO LAKE!

                    Let’s GO LAKE!

This season The Lake has had 26 pr’s or new Ladies that have broken into the Lady Hawk Top-Ten marks annals.

That is far and away a new record in itself coming from every age bracket and some of those entries were achieved as an athlete was competing for the Junior Varsity.

One event (Pole Vault) had Shana Cutrer, Katelyn Lowth, and Kennedy Grindle that scored points each week and yesterday Freshman Grindle won this event with her pr of 10-6. With Lowth and Cutrer scoring that gave The Hawks, 15 points for this event.

Eva Zabarcencu won the 3200 meter run beating her previous best by over 11 seconds with a finish of 11:46.09.

Lake ‘Hawk’ Proud!!

Savanna Oberholtzer finished 1st in her long jump event and on the Junior Varsity Emma Risien came in first in the High Jump and was followed by Trinity Turner who pr’ed her jump finishing in 3rd place.

CL’s Varsity High Jump had Cutrer (2nd place) and Isabella Fory (5th place) which finished out those 51 first day point totals.

The Lady Hawks will be traveling to Poteet High School for their next round of playoffs against London Pirates who support a, 22-4 season record.

This will be Canyon Lake’s 4th try at this well to turn around a 3 game slide and a chance to play for Division IV Crown next week.

The Hawks have beaten Gateway (6-1) and Floresville (5-1) with each of those contests having to come back from a one goal deficit before answering for a lead while holding each opponent without a goal.

Earlier this week in that Floresville contest the Jaguars were clamped down by a stingy Lake defense that allowed just one more chance to score as Callie Dominguez ended up having a more tranquil evening at the net.

Game Broadcast will be from the London Broadcast team with their start time 10 minutes before play begins.

          GO TOPSY-TURVY HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake’s Girls Soccer turned Floresville upside down in a, 5-1 win and will now prepare for London Pirates (22-4 & 16-0 District) in a Regional Semifinals battle.

The Lake’s next opponent is London and that contest will be this Friday at Poteet High School starting at 7:30pm.

CL’s Topsy Turvey contest in this Area Round once again started with a one goal deficit when the Jaguars took a lead at the 28:15 mark left in the first half.

That first 30 minutes of play was not what the doctor ordered for a Hawk team that was finding it hard to get an attack offensively as Floresville was the aggressor of the two with most of those 30 minutes being played with Canyon Lake defending against a resilient Jaguar team.

The Lake would turn it around when Abby Lowth scored on a topsy-turvy header tying this game, 1-1 with 8:52 before halftime.

                     Go Canyon Lake!

Three minutes later Bella Biasatti scored for what would turn out to be the game winner, 2-1.

“Coach (Kara Stracener), during halftime told us that we were better than this,” Avery Norris recalled. “She (Coach) had us close our eyes and imagine us locking in and we got better.”

That 2nd half would be all Canyon Lake switching with Floresville now not being able to get any traction against a Hawk offense that pitched a tent at the Jaguar’s net with a constant barrage of shots on goal.

Topsy Turvy definition: Utter confusion or disorder. With the top or head downward: upside down….
What was down was now up for The Lake and opposite for Floresville and the remainder of this contest.

              Way to Go Lake!!

To start the 2nd half and 11 minutes in had Oberholtzer’s only goal right in front of the net with a pass to herself on the opposite side and a Hawk 2 goal lead, 3-1.

Within that 11 minute span to the final score that had a Norris goal one minute later and then another final topsy-turvy score with 18:37 remaining.

Oberholtzer’s somersault throw-ins led to scores that had Floresville seeing double with no plan of attack.

Now the next rung up the ladder has CL playing a London team that has a stout resume.

However this battle does show a chance for your Lake team with a common opponent being Wimberley who beat the Pirates early this season 4-0.

With the 4 London losses their opponents have a very respectable .718 winning percentage. (65-24-5)

The Lake’s 6 losses to schools that presently have a, 101-22-10 combined record for a .797 winning percentage.

Canyon Lake has an, 0-3 record in their previous Regional Semifinals games and wanting a chance to go another round.

Coach Stracener might want to have these Ladies closing their eyes on the bus imagining another gold ball. With a little topsy-turvy play thrown in for good measure.

Let’s Go Hawks!
