Senior Brandon Ward scored 8 points while dishing out 4 assists in Hawks win over Llano

Canyon Lake got there first win over Llano on Monday as the Hawks stung the Yellowjackets, 59-40.

“We came out early and got into a full-court man,” Head Basketball Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “That led to some turnovers and easy baskets….we really attacked the zone well early on and got some points in the paint.”

Thirteen of the 15 players scored in this game as the points were spread over the whole court much like the press wreaked havoc on Llano as CL held Llano to just 3 points to start the game.

Heath McDonough and Will Gray both finished with 9 points while Brandon Ward and Jacob Ramirez coming in with 8 a piece.

The ReSporter had an advertisement for the community a couple of weeks ago for a 5K Hawk Trot for the Canyon Lake Feeder schools.

Elizabeth Stearns was in charge of this event and The ReSporter had a chance to get news on how the extravaganza went.

The ReSporter: What is the history for this event?

Stearns: “We had our first 5K with just Startzville Elementary Nov 17, 2012 and then decided we needed to make it a community event. I am a runner and my kids beg to do the obstacle runs with me but most have an age limit. Because of that I wanted to make this an obstacle course that the whole family could do. I want our community to love being active together.”

The ReSporter: What is your purpose so you can get the word out for next year?

Braden Duke, Bradley Hight, Braden Hight, and Colton McDonald after win over Bandera JV, 46-0

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity football team was another success story as this team also won their district race as their were several high marks in accomplishing this goal.

Number one, is having a team that was comprised of mostly sophomore students.

What is significant about this tidbit?

This year, the Hawk Varsity, had the most sophomores playing varsity than CL’s first official year of putting on the pads.

So with a number of players already in an upgraded uniform, you can see that winning district would compliment the number of players still not able to make the jump to that next level.

Thank about how a group of players that not more than 2 years ago were playing in Mountain Valley as 8th graders that has now lost practically that whole ‘A’ team that ran through that successful campaign.

          Go Hawks

Canyon Lake is still in their infancy as Fredericksburg won each quarter in this win, 67-44.

“We did some good stuff,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman stated. “We could not finish shots or our free throws…but I liked our energy and effort and we were much more engaged in this game.”

To accent, Coach Chapman’s comments, the Hawks could not finish on the offensive side shooting 32% from the floor while leaving a possible 17 points at the charity stripe.

You can not expect perfection from the free throw line, but making 60-70% would have brought a whole new dynamic to this game in the second half.

The Billies buried Canyon Lake from they’re free throw stripe making 79% of those shots for 15 points in the second half.

Canyon Lake’s Varsity started their first home game shooting 22 % in the first half and then collapsed in the 4th quarter losing to the Lampasas Badgers, 52-40.

“It is early and there is a long way to go and we are still missing 3 major pieces,” Head Coach Luke Chapman surmised. “They made just one shot from outside and it was just their post play that killed us.”

Even after starting the game shooting blanks, the Hawks only found themselves down 2 points going into their halftime talk.

The Hawks took their first lead with :50 seconds to go in the third quarter and even increased that lead to 3 points to start the final stanza after a 3pt shot from Charlie McIntosh.

                Go Hawks

Canyon Lake started their basketball campaign with a competitive game with Lehman as the Hawks played an even game after a slow start, 37-27.

“We changed our defense after seeing their star player taking advantage of our match-ups,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “We played them much better after the start of the game and I am really pleased considering we lost by 40 points last year to this same team.”

That final score last season with Lehman was an 84-40 score and considering this team being in the 6A Classification then good points can come from a loss.

This year’s volleyball team was helped with the addition of Emma Gray and now this young lady brings a basketball skill set that should help as this season starts to mature as the height can only help.

Coaches Corner with Volleyball’s Kim Paisley

The ReSporter: I guess the only way to start this article is ask, what happened?

Coach Paisley: “I think we had a little pressure in knowing we had to win this game and I honestly feel we were the better team but they (Sealy) played better as a team.”

The ReSporter: There were still several good things that happened this year…

Coach Paisley: “This was one heck of a season and I am proud of the team but we will now move on and learn from it.”

The ReSporter: Now you must say good bye to the seniors. (more…)
