The Hawk Freshmen basketball team came out fast this week as they were able to jump on the Apaches early.

It was a slow start for both teams until the Hawks applied pressure a few minutes into the game.

A few steals and quick passes later the Hawks were up for good in the game.

A 23-4 Halftime lead and hot shooting for the Apaches made this one a little more interesting than it seemed in the second half. The Apaches were able to rally to within 9 points until the Hawks applied pressure again.

“We put in a new press this week that is more of a risk reward press, tonight it just happened to be rewarded as they were only able to break it once.” Coach Barthels stated. “We had Wilkins get banged up a little on the first possession of the game, but Preiss stepped in and did a great job at the point guard tonight.”

The Hawks will need everyone to step up this week as Canyon Lake begins district play against a very tough district from here on out.

“All of the freshmen groups this year are tough in district.” Coach Barthels finished. “We are going to have to play our best basketball and be aggressive if we are going to beat the district teams this year.”

ReSporter wanted to show how this team of players stack up with previous players in the record book.

The players in kelly green are the current players and in each category there will be players that have ranked in the top 5 or more levels.

So, seeing a current player ranked sixth might not mean they are the sixth best ever with that stat.

You will be able to tell by looking at the official number of points (or whatever the stat is) that this player has many more points needed to enter into the higher stratosphere.

Sophomore Haden Lee is looking to improve as District 27-3A nears

Saturday.

The Hawks lost their first game, 61-44 to Port Aransas and then finished with a hard fought loss to Llano, 56-46 in the night cap.

CL had a problem getting out of the gate in both affairs after accounting for only 7 points in each game.

However the second quarter was a team that played with rhythm as in each case the Hawks held their own or was able to chip away at the deficit.

Andrew Riali took top honors again in being the Hawk’s best scorer with a 14 and 11 point games.

Heritage at the Blanco Holiday Hoopfest Tournament.

Skyler Tschoepe and Andrew Riali were the recipients as the rest of the Hawks followed suit and finished off their counterparts.

Tschoepe finished the day with 28 points and 18 rebounds for the two games and seems to be getting his basketball legs as this season matures into district play.

“I worked hard in practice,” Tschoepe said. “We worked on fast break drills but football and basketball is night and day difference on the type of shape you need to be in.”

Tschoepe was strong around the rim and scored most of his points inside the paint.

“I need to be strong with the ball underneath,” Tschoepe closed. “We need to play and get better on how we played today and play fast.”

Andrew Riali finished his two game stint with double/doubles with points and rebounds.

Riali’s two game totals were impressive with 21 points and 20 rebounds.

School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.

The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.

MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.

Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.

Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but  it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.

The ReSporter: As District 27-3A looms in the next few days, The ReSporter would like to get a mid season update from Coach Mary Beth Gallagher before the start of district play against Fredericksburg at the Hawk Gym on January 3rd with tip-off for Junior Varsity 4:30 and Varsity 6:00pm.

The ReSporter: How has your young team progressed during this pre district games?

Coach Gallagher: “Well we have progressed and we are now focused on the details of our offense.”

The ReSporter: What are you needing from those players to do in order to give your team a chance to compete?

Coach Gallagher: “We have to do the little things like set good screens, make smart passes and finish shots to win in district. We know we will have to beat Wimberley and Bandera both times and we would love to take a win from one of the other three.”

play a tribute to this group of players.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.

Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

The stats below were compiled based on home games this season for both A and B squads.
