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…)

                          Volleyball says Thanks to all the supporters this season!!

The sting is hopefully fading away after Canyon Lake’s Volleyball team were upset by Sealy last week in the second round of the UIL Playoffs.

Yes, there were stunned faces exiting the facilities as the Hawks had fashioned some impressive numbers for their season which gave the CL family thoughts of an expected win as they took the court.

Phrases like, that is why they play the game, became more poignant as this team had something all of the other Hawk Sport playoff teams have never possessed.

Being favored to win the game over their opponent during the playoff atmosphere.

Don’t get this wrong, Canyon Lake’s football team has been there, but on the other side of this pendulum during their playoff history, as their first round of playoff games have all come as an underdog to the sports community.

In those second round football games, the Hawks have been a participant on the undercard as there have been two of those second round contests, CL, almost pulled off what the Sealy Tiger team did with your Volleyball Hawks.

So, with knowing the differences you might now understand how hurt and disappointed this game would be for the young ladies who had given everything and worked non-stop for a year to be put in a this lofty position of being the favored school.

Senior Brandon Ward will be looking for a break out year for the Hawks

Canyon Lake has not had a lot of success throughout the years for basketball yet there is a decent chance that this year’s team might have what it takes to finish strong.

The Hawks will have more depth this year as many of the younger players last season played significant roles and with another year of playing could put this team in the spotlight.

Brandon Ward, Justin Ferris, Rory Preiss, Will Gray, Tyler Williams are some of those players that ended last season as solid players.

Looking at Preiss’ last game of stats in his game with Yoakum, and you see what could be in store this season.

Actually Preiss had a great half that many players would like to average for a half. Preiss ended the first half of that Yoakum game with 15 points and 10 rebounds which translates to a double-double.

The Canyon Lake freshman lost, 14-12, against Boerne Greyhounds but still won the District 14 4-AAAA Freshman Championship.

The Hawks, with the help of 5 self imposed fumbles in which the Hawks only recovered two lost the battle but won the war. The Hawks lost two fumbles inside the Greyhounds 20 yard line which took points off the board as did the failed -2- two point conversion attempts.

However with all the ailments of this effort, CL still managed to hold the game close for a score of 14-12.

The Hawk Defense was a wrecking ball as they have been all season as they had a dominating game on this night too.

The first half was defensive battle for both teams as Boerne throws the ball everywhere and Canyon Lake as we know runs every chance they get.

The Greyhounds had 22 receptions and 124 yards passing with two interceptions and one touchdown.

The Hawks can’t run faster than the Hounds in loss to Boerne, 35-27.

Senior kicker Mike Thorpe who now holds several of the Hawks kicking records

“We fought and did not give up,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We were just walking around after their last score, but then we wanted to leave the football field as a team and went down swinging.”

Canyon Lake started this game a little different as a 37 yard pass play to Austin Brennan opened up an avenue not traveled for CL’s first score.

On when he knew the Hawks would be passing on first down, QB Ben Fulton recalled, “Yesterday during our film session…I think it helps with the pass threat and you can tell that the defense was looking for the run.”

Boerne did answer that score when they had an 8 play drive for 82 yards for their response. This drive was helped by a Hawk offsides on a 4th down play that led to a 21 yard run on the next play by QB Brooks Klutts .
