goal and just were not responding offensively as much as the Texans.

Christy Fowler had the one bright spot as she dribbled the ball down the sideline with a minute left and was fouled giving her a penalty kick as she was nearing a chance to score.

This was all happening after Wimberley had scored just two minutes earlier for a 1-0 lead.

Fowler was good and both teams retreated for their halftime break.

Isaac Mendez never stops running

Track is off and running as this past week Canyon Lake visited Bastrop competing against many schools with more athletes.

“We were the only 3A school that was at the track meet,” Head Boys Coach Troy Moses parted. “I knew that it was going to be a very fast meet. Our kids competed well and got some good experience running against faster competition.”

Canyon Lake finished 13th out of 16 schools entered into this Meet.

Canyon Lake’s improvement has not shown up on the win column yet, but their last game in the Marble Falls

Hawks gather after loss to Hutto as they keep improving.

Tourney gave an indication of what might be in store for this team.

Hutto has a 4A classification and the Hawks rallied from a 4 run deficit to tie the score in the fifth inning before falling in the seventh and  a 5-4 loss.

Nick Cahill was perfect from the plate reaching base each time up and knocking in three runs in this contest.

Pitcher Tanner McGill also had a very impressive day allowing only one run in his four innings of work.

In the batter’s box, McGill also reached base both times he appeared.

The Hawks got back on the winning track and scurried out for an eight run lead before settling in and beating Comfort, 12-5 last Friday night on the road.

After taking a tough loss to Blanco, Canyon Lake did not take long to forge into a lead that would not be threatened in winning by a seven run margin.

Two things was noticeable that did not happen in Blanco.

Seguin.

Seguin is not a soccer power but by being in the same district with Canyon Lake a win on the road gives the Hawks a chance of getting into the playoffs if they can take care of business with Wimberley this season.

Christie Fowler had her way with the Matadors with four goals. Fowler was joined with Chloe, Gomez, and Panek who each scored one goal a piece.

Other good points in this win, “Tiffany Laurent had several first half saves and stopped a penalty kick,” Head Coach Erich Robinson said. “Jillian Schley was in her first district appearance and ended the second half with no scores on goal.”

The Hawks had their top three batters in the line-up score eight runs but that just was not good enough to warrant a win.

Lizzy Henderson came back from a hand injury from last weekends tournament to help in some late rallies with two hits and rbi’s which was an encouraging sign.

What a difference a game makes, as Canyon Lake improved their game by reducing Marble Falls JV

Freshman Rory Preiss starts season strong in Marble Falls

baseball team to 10 runs less for the second game of a doubleheader opening the Hawks Baseball season Monday night in the Falls.

That first game was over quick when the Mustangs scored in every inning in that first contest.

Problem? The Hawk pitching staff could not find the strike zone.

That resulted in way more base runners for Marble Falls and by adding an error here or there compounded the pounding, 14-2.

Case in point. That first inning had four strikes thrown by CL to six Mustang players and those four strikes resulted in three outs.
