Optimism in a loss is not what a lot of fans like to hear about,

but this year’s Eyas (young Hawks) played an admirable game to start District 26-3A at Bandera, Monday night.

Junior Logan Felch was the losing pitcher, but giving up one run was something Head Coach Trent Dunavant can live with in order to give this young team some confidence.

“This was the best game we have played all year,” Dunavant started. “That was the kind of defense we need to play…now we are playing.”

Canyon Lake Hawks had a good run at the Blanco Softball Tournament that

concluded Saturday in the Championship Round.

The Hawks disposed of Johnson City, Ingram, Poth and Lago Vista, before meeting up to a very good Llano team.

Canyon Lake has a lot of youth on board and getting this much action in over a two day period will only pay dividends. A lineup with only two Seniors will require some help and leadership from the players that might have just one year of Varsity ball.

The Poth game had a lot of meaning for Canyon Lake as they had been eliminated the last two years by this team.

“I was really pumped up for the Poth game,” Pitcher Missy Romero said. “It was time for some pay back!”

Canyon Lake finished their final tune up before a District game against Bandera this coming Monday.

Antonian and St. Michael won their games by giving up just one error in the two games.
Hence the Hawks were not as fortunate as they totaled seven errors and leaving the door open for the damage.

Canyon Lake is very young and are starting two freshman in the middle of the infield, so needing repetition is a prerequisite for getting that part of the game under control.

Travis Walker pitched a complete game in the morning game and kept the Hawks close enough to pull out the game.

Michael Brady took the loss in the afternoon affair as St. Michael beat the Hawks for the second time this season.

Canyon Lake found themselves with some pretty strong competition as they found

it hard to score in multiple events.

This competition will improve the team in future meets as the Hawk Relays had some teams that will do well when their District meets arrive in more than a month.

CL scored in seven of the events and seem to find many areas where a few more weeks of work outs will eventually pay dividends.

The Hawk Junior Varsity finished with 83 points and finished fourth scoring in 11 events.

Canyon Lake finished only five points from Wimberley as the two teams only had their Relay teams compete in last week’s Blanco Relays.

The Canyon Lake Track hosted eight teams Thursday as the weather and

competition lead to a great day on the cinders.

Canyon and Dripping Springs were the largest schools competing as Brownwood, Wimberley, Somerset, Blanco, San Antonio Cole and your Hawks rounded out the field.

Canyon Lake Varsity Boys finished third behind Canyon and Dripping Springs.

The Hawks set several team records for the meet.

Tony Hocutt added to his previous best with a Discus toss of 129 feet and two inches.

The ReSporter would like to thank Mike Brady for his help with supplying the box

score information.

When the Spring Sports hit in February, the ReSporter has many plates on the table and it makes getting to all the games a hard venture.

Softball and Baseball with over 20 games for the season would be enough for anyone, but when you add boys and girls Track, Soccer, etc…then you can see how hard getting to all the games can become.

Once again, the help from Mr. Brady has been immeasurable and The ReSporter would like to say Thank-You for your help.

The Hawks lost to Hays Consolidated last Tuesday at Concordia University near Austin.

Canyon Lake Softball team claimed their second victory against Hyde Park in a game played in Austin, Tuesday night.

The Hawks jumped out to a commanding four run lead after the second inning and rode Pitcher Missy Romero and Emma Broussard to the finish line in style.

Romero, because she held the home team to two runs and five hits.

Broussard, because she had only the second homerun for a Hawk in the short history of the program.

Head Coach John Gallagher talked about the at bat, “In the fifth inning Romero led off with a single, Young popped up to the catcher, and Daily reached base on an error. That put runners on first and third and Broussard came to bat and hit a ball deep to right, one bounce off the fence and rolled away….Broussard was at third by that time and the relay came to the second baseman and she rounded and beat the throw home.”

Katy Payne can still rest easy knowing that she still has the only conventional homerun over the fence, but it seems to be only a matter of time before Payne will have company in that department.

The Hawks will be in action starting this Thursday at the Blanco Tournament. Come out, take the short drive and support Canyon Lake.

Friday morning at the Canyon Lake Gymnasium, Missy

Romero reached another softball milestone.

This athlete for the Hawks Softball team has taken pen in hand and signed for a scholarship at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi.

Romero has been the dominant pitcher for Canyon Lake for three years now working on her fourth campaign in the circle.

Accomplishments for this young lady is plentiful. Take a look at the stats below for pitching and from the batter’s box.

Romero has pitched 376 innings so far while giving up only 178 earned runs for a respectable 3.31 runs per game.

The Hawks took care of Austin Eastside Memorial Panthers in short order Saturday morning for their final contest of the Lockhart Tournament.

The game was set when Canyon Lake answered the bell with six runs to open the first inning.

The Panthers were handling the baseballs like they were wearing paws from their mascot, as the eight errors allowed CL to amass 18 base runners for the shortened contest.

Logan Felch made his presence known with two hits and three run batted in, with two of the hits going for doubles. Felch had one double off the wall and was hit with some degree of authority.

The Canyon Lake Girls Varsity Track started the season with some personal and

team records as the 2012 campaign commenced at Blanco last Thursday.

When asked if she was encouraged by the opening of the season, Head Track Coach Lacey Lambert exclaimed, “Yes…I am. Our girls times are where we need to be. We have a big freshman group and they are going to help us in the relays.”

Another athlete that should help is Marisa Ellis as the Volleyball/Basketball/Track Athlete continues to add to an impressive first year after moving in from Midlothian last Summer.

Ellis placed first in the High Jump with a jump of 5’2” and a Triple Jump of 34’2.5”, which turned out to be a Canyon Lake record, but not a personal best for this Junior.

“I want to beat my best Triple Jump of 36’11.5” and go to the Regional,” Ellis started. “I was rushing between the high jump and triple jump and doing that did not allow me to set my timing for the two events.”
