Canyon Lake lost a hard fought Area Round Playoff against Liberty Hill, 2-0 last Thursday at The Hawk Stadium.

Liberty Hill had given up just 18 goals for the season as their defense was the difference in this game as the Panthers came out of the gates firing and going up 1-0 with less than a minute gone in the first half.

Another score five minutes into this game would be more than enough for a win as Canyon Lake threatened on several tries just coming up empty.

The Hawks had Alexa Ramos as their goalie which turned out to be a double edge sword as CL was also giving up one of their more accomplished scorers with the trade off.

A wind that was blowing south to north also caused some missed opportunities as Ramos kicks would clear the whole field allowing the Panthers goalie to retrieve the ball without a Hawk being able to run down the ball and a chance for a goal.

Texas RV supports Canyon Lake Softball

Canyon Lake got started to late in their loss to the Yoakum Bulldogs last Thursday night, 7-4.

The loss still has CL in the hunt for a playoff berth, but now it will get tougher as the Hawks work on having a better finish to get a better seeding.

The Hawks could not scratch a run until the last inning when Senior Kelsey Ahrens cleared the bases with a triple.

Canyon Lake scored once more but the hill was too high to climb as they needed 7 runs to keep the game going.

Middle innings seem to be a weak spot for CL as a 5 run fifth inning was reminiscence of their previous loss to La Vernia.

Errors also kept Yoakum’s innings going and just with 4 hits will tell you Canyon Lake gave up too many walks.

Any way you cut it, their were too many gifts for the hosts and Yoakum finally opened those gifts for a sweep of the season’s series with the Hawks.

Now Canyon Lake will be home this coming Tuesday as they host Gonzales in hopes of getting back on track as the second round of games continue.

Go Hawks!!

Y4 Custom Homes Supports Hawk Softball

There was no drama in Friday night’s game with La Vernia, as Canyon Lake found that a mean Bear is a bad Bear losing, 10-0.

Canyon Lake first five district games had been decided in the last innings but on this night La Vernia decided to knock out the Hawks and in that 5th inning, if something could go wrong, then it did.

The game was controlled by both pitchers as Alexis Robinson was on fire, striking out 8 Bears in her 4 innings of work.

Two out of three batters in each inning was a strike out. It was a dominating time as La Vernia just could not catch up to Robinson’s fast ball.

Senior Evan Schuller was high point for the Boys Track Team in Wimberley

Canyon Lake is now brushing up on this next couple of weeks as the Hawk Coaches will be mix and matching which events to compete in when District 26-4A Meet comes calling in April.

The Hawks had some athletes not in attendance in Wimberley as they will be competing in Austin for the Texas Relays instead of running in last night’s Meet.

Evan Schuller and Joe Marple were high scorers last night scoring 10.5 and 14 points respectfully. Schuller best was a 2nd place finish in the Triple Jump as he is still right at the doorstep of getting over the 40 foot mark.

Marple got 12 of his points with the hurdle runs and Gerrit Wilkins finished first on his 110 Hurdle Run.

On the Girls side, Bailey Drum was high point scoring 22 points with high finishes in the Triple Jump and Hurdle runs. Mariah Ellis was second getting 19 points for the Hawks.

Canyon Lake will be in Wimberley next Wednesday for a tune up meet before district.

Coaches Corner with Softball Coach John Gallagher

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

The Canyon Lake Hawks find themselves in a crowded field as they prepare for another battle against La Vernia tonight and The ReSporter wanted a chance to see some of his thoughts about this season.

The ReSporter: As you look at this year’s district standings, have you ever seen a district that does not have any separation between the schools?

Coach Gallagher: “No I haven’t for quite a few years,  this year everyone is very competitive.”

The ReSporter: What are some of the intricacies of a game do you look for in how you decide that a pitching change is warranted?

Coach Gallagher: “A pitchers control, number of walks given up, effectiveness of her pitches, and how well the other team is hitting the ball.”
