Hawks after Winning Silver Bracket at Rattler Tournament

Canyon Lake won the Silver Bracket Championship in the San Marcos Rattler Tournament that finished on Saturday.

“We won the Bronze bracket last year and we wanted to bring some hardware home tonight,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said proudly.

The Hawks swept three games on Saturday winning the final over 6A Weatherford Kangaroos in three sets.

A good week of Volleyball for the Hawks after upping their schedule to play in last week’s NEISD Tournament against larger schools.

“This was a good day…..great day,” Coach Paisley said as her voice was leaving her. “Hannah’s (Wunderlich) serving was on fire, she had good muscle memory and she was on fire….our defense is getting better and we are heading in the right direction.”

Tough going for Hawk’s offense

Blanco was able to reload much quicker than Canyon Lake as the Hawks could not find their revolver in time for the game and when they did it would not shoot in their opening loss, 14-0.

“I loved the effort,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We were just not finishing and had crucial mistakes.”

Canyon Lake rebounded last season after having an offense that looked similar to this year’s start.

“We will get better and this game was night and day different from last year,” Coach Drum continued. “I am proud of these young kids and we just have to get better every week as many of them found out about Friday night lights and our confidence will get better.”

Newcomer Andrew Kullberg loves playing on Defense

The season opener for the 2015 Freshman football season kicked off Friday at Lago Vista’s brand new beautiful High School as the Canyon Lake Hawk freshman took on the Lago Vista JV Gold Vikings.

The Vikings won the coin toss and at the time no one knew, but it would be the Vikings last time in which they won anything.

On the opening possession for Lago Vista, on a 3rd and nine, Trenton Lorett swooped down and picked off a pass on the Canyon Lake 42 yard line and sent the Vikings packing.

On the Hawk’s first possession after a false start from an eager offensive line, the O-line plowed head first into the Vikings defense on three consecutive plays and drove the defense back 55 yards when Lorett scored from 5 yards out and added his own 2 point conversion. 8-0 Hawks.

          CLJV take instructions after loss to Blanco last Thursday night, 24-14

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity went through the motions for their opener with Blanco as turnovers spelled dome for any chance of a comeback in their 10 point loss, 24-14.

The Hawks had the ball first and after three running plays with the longest being 2 yards a punt was needed.

“Turnovers and we did not do a good job of executing,” Head JV Coach John Barthels started. “We practiced against the Varsity this week and we just did not come out with that same intensity and did not respond well.”

Blanco then marched down to the Hawk 2 yard line when they fumbled away a chance for their first score of the season and CL staved off that early damage.

The ReSporter: Canyon Lake beat Fredericksburg 3-1 on Tuesday and Head Coach Kim Paisley was kind enough to offer some answers for the game and season.

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley

The ReSporter: Did not see Addison Farley on any of the leader lines, did she play or are you having a reduced roll for her?

Coach Paisley: “She did play and played the whole match. I guess the way the game played out, she wasn’t able to execute with the bigger girls she had across the net. His lineup couldn’t sustain both Bailey and Addison so one of them were not going to get the same look on offense. He had to pick one to try and stop. Also the rotation we had when we were serving and keeping them out of system, fell on Bailey front row and Addison back row. Addison had some great digs last night.”

The ReSporter: Could the players see a difference in facing Fred vs. those teams faced last week in San Antonio? (more…)

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum

The ReSporter will be having a weekly Coaches Corner with Coach Drum this season and hopes that this will be an informative time in understanding that week’s game and other information.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, thanks for spending time with me and I have questions for your upcoming game….you have heard how much a team will improve from the first game to the second game in a season. Can you also say that your improvement is measurable from the last scrimmage to the first game?

Coach Drum: “Actually, this is different because a scrimmage has the coaches out on the field and we cannot be on the field during a game. A scrimmage is also a controlled game with so many plays for offense and defense. Even the half we played live has a running clock, so there are too many variables between a scrimmage and game situations.”

The ReSporter: So, that would be hard to compare in those situations… (more…)

The new Hawk Tunnel has landed!

Well Hawk fans the new Hawk run through tunnel has arrived!

Since the end of 2014 football season ended in the playoffs, the idea of stepping up and replacing the old Hawk tunnel was born.

While there was much discussion in the bleachers last fall about replacing our original veteran tunnel, a true veteran took command of the idea and moved it from vision to reality.

Rufus Woods became that leader and started gathering his supporters together for what became an eight month odyssey of designs, re-designs, phone calls, emails and fundraisers.

Mr. Woods soon solicited the help of Cory Martelli to help with fundraising projects and phone calls in which he work behind the scenes and came up with the idea of the 1st Annual CLHS football team car washes.
