The ReSporter has some more stats for Boys Basketball. The team and

Canyon Lake has many players rising making their mark for a team sport.

individual stats will give you a sense of where this years team stacks up with previous Hawk teams.

Note: Red will indicate former students and previous teams. Green represents this year and current players.

These stats are by no means complete. The ReSporter is missing five games from this season and previous year stats were also missing games.

The 2008-09 team had no stats to be found, therefore the records below might be off a tad. However you will get a jest of accomplishments of past players. The ReSporter only inserted the top five in each category, except when a current player was close enough to break into the block of five players.

Some interesting notes below:
Matt Magness has passed Stuart Lowry as the all time leading scorer.
Chris Green was a three point machine.
Matt Magness is closing in on Christian Pena in made free throws.
Neal Whitehead leads Canyon Lake in three categories, Rebounds, Blocks, and Steals.
We hope you enjoy reading about the students related to the numbers.

Canyon Lake took one on the chin from the Billies as Matt Magness returned to the lineup scoring 13 points in another low scoring affair.

The ten point loss was just a three points deficit with three minutes left in the game, as the Hawks had to revert to fouling Fredericksburg to help close the gap.

Magness was not only the high point player (13), but he also led the team with eight rebounds.

There were a couple more surprises, with five three pointers from four different players.

Paul Davis pitched in with two in the first half while Carl Cook and Ancel Morel helped out in the cause keeping the Hawks close with two three pointers in the second stanza.

“The bench did fabulous,” Coach Maynard surmised. “I’m proud of the bench players.”

Of the 35 points scored, the bench players once again contributed 19 points, as Coach Jeff Maynard shuffled the deck and had Morel and Cook coming in after tip off.

“Ancel (Morel) games have been much better when he is coming off the bench,” Coach Maynard closed.

The bad luck Hawks have a chance to revamp their game as they will take a week off from games with an off date this coming Friday.

However, the game with Fredericksburg just added another anvil around the neck for a team with promise, but just not a enough trinkets to get them over the hump.

To say the game with the Billies was tight would be an understatement. The Hawks and Billies were tied after the first, second and fourth quarters of the game.

If the shooting and free throws were improved just a fraction, this team could be enjoying a great season. Now, Canyon Lake will need to take inventory over this off week to make sure they have their guns loaded for a stretch run that could still move them into the playoffs.

Whoever came up with the word ‘Free’ throw in basketball needs to come

back and have a do over on naming rights.

Canyon Lake Hawks could not cash in on the ‘Free’ throws when they needed too the most. A good free throw night would of been the difference maker in a game that saw the Hawks down as many as 13 points early in the first quarter.

In fact, the Hawks scored their first point on a free throw after the Texans had run up a 12-0 score in the first two minutes of the game.

Go back to an earlier game at the Canyon Lake Tournament and the same type of game transpired against Fredericksburg. That game was not pretty as the Hawks just dug themselves deeper and deeper after a similar start.

Against Wimberley, the Hawks were down 17-4 with four minutes left in the first quarter when the short handed Hawks started chipping away at what would’ve been an avalanche against the Billies earlier this season.

Canyon Lake Hawks turned on the jets and ran away from San Antonio Hawkins last Tuesday night, 65-24.

The Hawks got everyone in and the game was never in doubt after the first few minutes after tip off.

“(Amber) Ramsey gives us rebounds,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher stated. “ I think the team is feeling confident and that is important thing for this group.”

Canyon Lake spread the ball around, but Amber West and Katie Williams reached double figures with 15 and 10 points respectfully.

Three more scored eight points, Ramsey, Caitlin Gillum, and Hannah St. John found the basket to their liking also for the game.

Canyon Lake will play a pivotal game this Friday at Wimberley. A win and the upstart program will put themselves squarely in a position for a district run where anything can happen.

The Canyon Lake Girl’s Basketball team won their first district game in Bandera on Friday, 50-26, as Coach Mary Beth Gallagher emptied the bench in the runaway win.

“It was great to be at full strength again,” Head Coach Gallagher commented. “Everyone got involved which allowed us to see how we can play with a full bench.”

In a game played earlier this year at the Canyon Lake Tournament, the Hawks beat Bandera Bulldogs in a battle for third place. The score was 44 to 30, giving you the idea of how much CL has improved.

The main difference in the two games was the absence of Amber Ramsey her 12 rebounds and solid play with a new 1-2-2 defense.

The ReSporter finally caught up with Jeff Maynard, the Head Coach for Canyon Lake Boys Basketball team.

The ReSporter: A 9-5 record so far this season….what are your thoughts on the progress the team has shown thus far?

Coach Maynard: “I am very pleased with where we are right now. This is the best start that we have ever had, and in all honesty we are a couple of possessions away from being 11-3. We still have a lot to improve on, but I am real proud of how our boys have approached the season thus far.”

The ReSporter: With this team it seems like you have a chance to sub any player at any time during a game and the talent level does not drop significantly. How will this dictate your game management?
