One thing we know about the District 26-3A Softball race, is that

Boerne will finish last.

Now the fun stuff starts as the season comes down to the last two games this week.

The ReSporter would like to go over some prognostication for this week’s games.

First thing first….whoever is playing Boerne is going to win that game this week. So, with that being a given, we will give Wimberley and Fredericksburg a win right off the bat (pardon the pun).

That will leave Canyon Lake in another must win situation over Fredericksburg for this Tuesday game. Yes, the Hawks could lose and still make it, but a win would certainly get the cement mixers going for placing this team in the playoffs.

The Hawks could lose to Fredericksburg and still make the playoffs, but the door would not be as wide open.

Canyon Lake is now in the twilight of the 2011-12 season and a little more

time will make a lot of difference in what you are seeing now and what might be unveiled next season.

A young CL Baseball team continues to learn the game against older and more experienced teams. What fans need to notice in this sport is that the improvement might not be on the scoreboard, but rather between the ears.

The continued reps for Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors, is what has a chance of turning around the last two campaigns and having another chance for the playoffs.

There are four solid Juniors playing that can hopefully mold a group of underclassman before the first pitch is thrown next season.

Travis Walker is the leader in almost every statistical category for Canyon Lake. It seems he has been a part of the team since his eighth grade year.

Walker is a very solid fielder, and has been primarily at first base this year. Walker also has played behind the plate, third base, and pitcher for the Hawks. He has hovered around the .400 batting average most of this season.

The Hawks could only scratch two runs across the plate as Canyon Lake will try to

get back on the winning track next week, after losing to Fredericksburg, 7-2 last Friday night at the Hawk diamond.

“We are trying to get across to the team that these games we are working to make a run,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “We have players playing out of position and we are needing to eliminate our errors and improve our mental game.”

You have heard the story before, but with one Senior on the team, Canyon Lake keeps learning on the fly and the remembrance of the second year of competition.

“We got to know we can’t quit,” Junior Logan Felch said. “We love the game and we have to keep playing it right and going to reward us.”

“I notice more experience and in the long run it is going to help us,” as Felch commented on the youth of this team.

Canyon Lake Varsity would be a Junior Varsity on other teams and that is what has to be hard on fans and Coaches alike.

The Hawks will be sending girls that represent five events to the Region !V Meet in

Corpus in two weeks.

Marisa Ellis increased her best Triple Jump of the season when she skied for 36’10 and beat her closest competitor by nine inches.

Marisa Ellis now has the second best Triple Jump in Region IV while trailing an athlete from District 30 by seven inches.

The tracksters need to finish in the top two in order to get their ticket punched for Austin for the State Meet in May.

Another event the Hawks have a chance of advancing in is the Mile Relay.

The Hawks ran the event in 4:11.41 and missed their season best by .26 of a second.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in Corpus Christi for the Regional Meet in two

weeks as the Hawks finished in second place for the last two years.

The top two finishers get another chance to reach Austin for State Track Meet in May.

Jordan Anderson was high point for the Meet with 48 points, missing a first place in the Long Jump by 0.25 of an inch.

The 48 points beat Bandera’s entire team and was only 21 points off of beating Wimberley.

Anderson will now be in the ‘running’ with five events in the Regional meet with a chance of finishing second or better in any event which would give him another week of competing in Austin.

Canyon Lake was also able to send all three Relay Teams to the next level as the usually strong Mile Relay team having to huff and puff to finish third to run for another day.

Canyon Lake continued their week of comebacks by beating Wimberley, 3-2 last

Friday night on Senior Night.

The Hawks beat another team that was over them in district play in a must win scenario and puts CL in a position to forge into the playoffs for the second year in a row.

District 26-3A has a crowded field atop the standings as four of the six teams find themselves with just one game of separation.

Canyon Lake drew first blood when McKenna Beseda reached base on an error and then completed the play when Wimberley’s short stop could not hold onto the ball as Beseda slid into second base.

After McKenna completed her tear on the base baths stealing third base, Senior Missy Romero scored Beseda on a sacrifice fly.

District 26-3A has started Tuesday and will be finishing up

tomorrow with the 4×400 Relay.

Canyon Lake is the team to beat for this event as they blistered the Track in their last run in Dripping Springs.

The ReSporter will end it’s report on the district events for the girls.

Fredericksburg has been the team to beat, but this might be the closest the other schools have been to the Billies in quite a while.

Relays are the next and last set of events to be diagnosed for this season.

The ReSporter hopes you have enjoyed these ‘Breakdowns’.

The Field event has a lot of possibilities for some 26-3A Athletes to have a chance

to compete in the highest of venues. UIL State Meet in Austin will entertain all the qualifiers from four different regions around the Great State!

As we go over the next group of events, please take note of some exceptional athletes that have height and distances.

If you have missed any of these articles, you can go back in time and find how the Sprints, Hurdles, and Distance Events will pan out as Canyon Lake prepares to meet the other five District schools at Hawk Cinders this next week.

These articles are detail information on how these students have competed over the last seven weeks and how they stack up against there district counterparts.

The ReSporter hopes you are enjoying these Break Downs. Now for our Field Events Athletes.

Canyon Lake won another big game Monday night as they outlasted First

Place Bandera at Hawk Field, 4-1.

The win is huge as the teams jockey for playoff position.

Bandera had beaten every district foe in the first round of games and now with a Hawk win, it will allow the girls an extra loss.

If Bandera runs the table from the rest of district play, then the Hawks will benefit by being the only District 26-3a team to beat the Bulldogs.

Missy Romero did the damage from the plate and circle.

“We played with alot of confidence compared to the first meeting,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “Romero kept them off balance all night.”

The Hawks had another big fifth inning as Brittney Schoettle reached base on an error. Mary Jordan then bunted and reached base adding pressure to the visitors. McKenna Beseda was next with a hit to load the bases for Romero.

Romero had a hard single up the middle scoring two and then vintage Beseda scoring on the throw home.

Romero also helped her pitching counterpart with a double and scoring on a Briana Young single.

Holding Bandera to one run and also contributing three rbi’s made the result very sweet for a player that had wanted this team.
