          Mountain Valley Lady Hawks Softball next Stop for many being CLHS

What happened this past school year for Canyon Lake for the sporting year?

Right off the bat, you had the first District Championship when the Hawk Volleyball team took the title from Wimberley that had won a district crown since the start of this century.

That was a height never envisioned by anyone in the know as the Texan’s had been cemented into the first place podium so many years.

Then jump into the Boy’s Cross Country team that qualified for the second year in a row and with that race this past season, the times were getting much lower with many runners who will be back to go further this coming season.

You could see the evidence during the track season when Canyon Lake’s distance runners scored more points in the history of the program and will have all those student’s returning.

                              Mountain Valley Lady Hawks Softball Win District

Mountain Valley took SV Rangers to the cleaners after swamping the home team, 15-1 in completing their undefeated season.

Earlier this year, the Hawks escaped with a 12-11 win over Smithson Valley, which was as close any team would get to Mountain Valley Middle School.

On Saturday, Mountain Valley had a statement game as they had seven outs in the 4 inning affair as the Hawks were capped with 5 runs in three of the four innings played.

Maddy Puente and Kensie Sayles combined for a 4 hitter in this mercy game with a total dominating win over the Rangers.

Last season, Mountain Valley was denied a first place finish by this same club as the Hawks had plenty motivation in wanting to complete this season with this victory.

Mountain Valley started off strong with a lead off walk and 5 singles while only having one out when Chelsea Tschoepe scored stopping the inning.

SV Rangers scratched across one run on two singles with their half of the first inning and that score would be all she wrote for the home team.

Going into the 3rd inning, the Hawks, started strong again when Puente was first up with a triple.

Adrianna Peaslee was up next with a single to drive in Puente. Peaslee finished the day with 3 hits and 3 rbi’s.

After a Hawk out, the next 5 batters would get a hit as this game was quickly getting out of hand with no MV batter being struck out.

Another 5 run inning and a comfortable 10-1 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd inning.

Mountain Valley changed pitchers as Puente took 3rd base while Kensie Sayles

Adrianna Peaslee and Kensie Sayles

would finish the next two innings.

In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Sayles started off allowing two singles. However, that would be the extent of the Rangers damage as two fly-outs and 4 strikeouts would put the Rangers out of their misery in those last two innings.

Only a walk in the bottom of the 4th as Sayles struck out the side against the other SV batters.

“I was going for spotting the ball,” Sayles said like a crafty pitcher that struck out the side to end the game.

Meanwhile, Mountain Valley would all but clinch their title with another 5 run 4th inning.

In what would be the last inning, Peaslee would touch all the bases after a line shot to left field that only had the outfield fence able to stop the screamer hit.

Peaslee was non-stop around the bases as she hit an inside the park homer to the delight of her teammates and the Hawk crowd.

“Amazing feeling,” Peaslee said with excitement. “I felt the hit and getting all the way home was amazing.”

“Last year, we lost to Smithson Valley, which kept us from winning it all,” Peaslee commented. “We wanted to get this win….this game we were ready to dominate and wanted to finish this season strong….we wanted to go all the way and not just halfway.”

The stunned silence from the Smithson Valley side of the stands was the price of admission on a day your Hawks would silence the Ranger team after turning this game to a laugher.

Only two Mountain Valley players were not able to get a base hit, but those two at bats did not go to waste as Landry Brown’s sacrifice flyball scored Madi Row who opened with a single.

Patrice Martinez was not allowed a chance to hit as she was walked and she stole a base and scored later in the inning.

If you want to know what dominance looks like then be sure you have some water close by as you try to digest these numbers:

                      game batting stats

 batting average   on base percentage   slugging percentage
       .720             .750                  .960

Those 4 hits Smithson Valley recorded for the game was less than the number of hits the Hawks accumulated in 3 of their innings.

This game was bound to be over after the 4th inning as there were other forces that would be sure this game went no further as the lightning and rain started soon after the umps called the game due to that 14 run lead.

“I hope I can be the best pitcher next year and strike out more players for outs,” Pitcher Peaslee said unabashedly.

A banner year for a group of ladies that dominated district opponents from Cuero to Middle Schools that feed into 6A schools.

That beacon of light seen by Hawk parent’s going home was the collective smiles of Canyon Lake Coaches who will be welcoming in a wealth of talent for the coming years.

Next school year can not get her soon enough for the sports addicts, but some of you can be excused if you want to take a couple of months off before making your trek to Canyon Lake High School

Congrats on another District Championship and Go Hawks!!

Marley Carrizales and Maddy Puente next stop will be at Canyon Lake HS

Mountain Valley Hawks dam up Canyon to make a Lake in 8-0 victory to remain undefeated this season.

MV now has a 7-0 record going into their last game this Saturday with a chance of finishing this season with an unblemished record.

“They all hate to lose,” Head Coach Jacque Scott said lovingly. “It takes a lot of hard work in practice and they have grown as a team.”

Coach Scott continued, “They have all done a great job and by working hard they have definitely been a team thing.”

A paltry 2 hits was all Canyon could muster in this loss as Mountain Valley’s defense kept the water from spilling over as each facet of the Hawk’s game was in high gear.

Starting pitcher, Maddy Puente was on this night and helped start what would turn out to be a dominant performance as she has a chance of having her sister, Kaylee Puente as her catcher.

The ReSporter: How did this year stack up with your previous years?

Hawk after a downing several pounds of Crawfish

Craw Martelli: “The 9th annual Crawfish Boil was a great year! The 7th Annual was a good year but it falls short of this years success. We boiled up 1200lbs this year and sold every last one ,compared to 750lbs in 2013.”

The ReSporter: Compare your first year with this last Saturday’s Crawfish.

Craw Martelli: “The first boil was just 4 family’s eating crawfish in the back yard and maybe finishing off two sacks-70lbs. Comparing it to HCB #9,……. it would be like me comparing the Slot -T offense to a Spread offense, Veer or three separate offense but its all football, ya just cant compare them as far as fundraising goes. However, its always goodtime to hang out with all your friends for a good cause- CL Athletics.”

The ReSporter: Having the event at Brookshire’s had to be a boost based on their location and how they support the Hawks, do you think that had anything to do with this year’s event?

Craw Martelli: “Brookshire Brothers really came through for us and the community. They are 100% behind our CLHS and its causes. Kenneth Moore the store Manager and Kaci Spence – the Lakeside Café and Bar Manager, really opened up the doors for us and the crowds kept coming steadily all day until 8pm. This location helped drive out of town people into the event and it helped the cash register chiming along, at least that’s what Dr. Hartman said, they keep me in the back and don’t let me out much.” (more…)

The Hilltop news sat down with founder and head cook “Martelli” of the beloved mud bugs and got a candid interview on this annual CL fundraiser.

                                        Crawfish Boil is coming this Saturday May 7th

The ReSporter: So when did this all get started and why:

Martelli: “Since there was not a lot of people around the CL area who love bugs, a group of parents got together for the love of the bugs and invited others over to enjoy fellowship and talk about our new high school and little league sports while the kids all played around. The first year was the spring of 2008. It all started off pretty simple; we wanted to eat crawfish and no one around here even sold them, so necessity is the mother of all inventions, so we rolled forward.”

The ReSporter: Since that initial event, when did this event evolve into what it is today?

Martelli: “Well the first few years it was just a bunch of friends getting together to generate friendship spirit, a get together for everyone, something these parts are not known for especially back in those days. As word got out each year it grew and one day we thought there should be a charge for folks to come and give money away for the youth around here for sports.” (more…)
