Canyon Lake Softball had a solid game beating the Luling Eagles, 8-3 behind a 13 strikeout stint for Gabby Barnes who also contributed some power with a 2-run homer and double.
Canyon Lake’s Track Teams hosted the Hawk Relays this past Thursday and the Ladies finished 3rd overall against another week of strong programs.
Canyon Lake and Marble Falls battled it out Tuesday and ended up with a 2 run win for the good gals, 14-12. In fact, this battle lasted longer than the Alamo skirmish by using 282 combined pitches, 26 runs, 24 hits, 13 walks, 2 hit batters, 6 errors, a collision on the base paths and several visits between coaches and game officials.
Canyon Lake Baseball has now opened their season with the 6th win in a row after staving off Devine on the road, 3-2. The Lake has a 6-1 record under the tutelage of Head Coach Victor Escamilla and that one loss was a 3-2 set-back against Llano on his first year.
This year’s Lady Track & Field has a chance to make an attack on those All-Time Records this season after a strong showing against 5A-6A schools at the Comal ISD Relays earlier this week.
Canyon Lake’s Softball team got their season underway with a resounding win over Randolph, 18-0 and will be back in action on Thursday with a double header with the first game with Hyde at 2:00pm and then back to the diamond against McKinney North at 6:00pm. These will be played at the Hawk Nest.

HAWKS HOPING FOR PLAY-IN GAME FOR PLAY-OFF GAME
Three weeks ago, The Lake, had a myriad of ways for a chance to earn a right to make the post-season in Boys Basketball.
The Hawks did start their playoff last Friday when they had a ‘must win’ situation which in reality is what this time of year presents for having a chance being able to continue their season.
C-Lake was able to take that next step beating Navarro, 62-45 and that now the Hawk Nation is waiting results of the Boerne/Bandera game this Tuesday (Feb. 13th).
If Bandera can pull off a win then Canyon Lake will need to wait another year… but the chances of having a play-in contest has the odds on Canyon Lake’s side based on Boerne coming into this battle undefeated and 12th ranked based on tabchoops.org.
In this Hawk’s Navarro win, Carter Williams finished with his 6th double-double this year finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds. As a team, CLHS topped 42 rebounds with Mario Aguilar (11) bounds.
This game CL got separation after the Panthers tied the score 7 all with 5:30 left in the quarter. In dominant fashion The Lake finished this opening period with a, 11-2 stretch.
During this season, Canyon Lake’s worse two quarters have been the 2nd & 3rd stanzas…so it was good to see CL fashioning a 16-8 quarter and halftime, 34-17 advantage.
That dominance would continue as these Hawks increased the lead to 23 points to end the 3rd period when Aguilar sank two free throws, 50-27.
CL’s largest lead was 25 points to start the last 8 minutes before Navarro’s last rush closing the gap with a Hawk 17 point victory, 62-45.
CLHS would use their bench depth after seeing a Logan Lewis pass to Ryan Alvarez for two points that brought the Hawk bench to their feet and final score conclusion.
The Hawk bench ended this contest scoring 18 points as Coach Monte Cole used different line-ups to fine-tune this game with an anticipated game with Bandera.
It will be known late Tuesday night when Canyon Lake finds out if they can continue their pre-playoff-playoff run with another win against those Bandera Bulldogs.
Keep in touch with The ReSporter as we post the date and time of CLHS next game if warranted.
If CLHS Boy’s Basketball team is fortunate to play this week it will represent the 500th game in Hawk history. A chance to start that next 500 contests with a special win that will have CL making their 5th year in the playoffs.
A bit of forward thinking has this possibility (using the Jethro Bodine math formulas) for the Bi-District round if CL can be so inclined in taking care of business against Bandera.
Let’s Go Hawks!!

Four Teams jockeying for 2 Spots: Games Remaining in order.
Canyon Lake (4-6) Wimberley, Navarro, Open Date Bandera (5-5) Davenport, Open Date, Boerne Texans: (4-5) CL Hawks, Billies, Davenport Billies: (3-6) Boerne, Texans, Navarro
Get your slide rule or abacas out…or for the hip audience ask ‘Alexa’ or you can activate your AI for these next questions on who might qualify for those last playoff spots.
Boerne and Davenport has shored up those first two places while your Hawks along with Bandera-Wimberley-Fredericksburg facing a tag-team wrestling bout for a spot.
This is what we do know:
1) If The Lake can win their next two contests then they would secure the 3rd seed. Control their own spot….
Looking at the schedule above there are several other scenarios.
2) Take into account that Boerne and Davenport have a chance with wins against all 4 teams above.
3) We know games that involve playing Navarro give a favorable chance for a win.
(CL did win that first round bout with the Panthers but this 2nd round in district has
produced nothing, to brag about as a Hawk fan, as they still search for that win. Plus this game is on the road)
The Hawks will need a, take no prisoners mind-set, in that battle and quite frankly for the whole week.
There is a chance in having 2, 3 or 4 teams being tied on February 13th. That would require those teams playing on Thursday-Friday or Saturday to untie this knot. One game for sure….two games if there are 3 or 4 teams tied. This scenario would also involve coin flips.
A four way tie would involve the Billies finishing 2-1 which would leave the Texans with another loss to go along with the Hawks win on Tuesday against our Back-Bone neighbor.
Bandera has the biggest hurdle this week facing both front running schools and those possible losses resulting with another 5-7 district record.
The only way a school can avoid playing an extra game to qualify is by winning both games against that opponent to break that tie. Hence, if CLHS can beat Wimbo then they would secure that spot for 3rd place based on Bandera also losing both of their games.
Confused yet? There will be a lot of ‘what is happening around the league’ chatter for these next 3 dates.
The Lake and Bandera are the only two schools that have two more contests.
One last thought to take note:
A win by any of the 3 schools over Davenport or Boerne would go a long way for securing a spot for that school.
Wimberley plays Davenport.
Fredericksburg plays Boerne.
Bandera plays both schools.
Make the trip to Wimberley to give your Hawks a boost this coming Tuesday and Let’s Go Hawks!!
