Kevin Nolan outstretching the Wolf Pack
Canyon Lake could not finish as turnovers and rebounding in the fourth quarter finally put the game away for the Wolf Pack from San Antonio Hawkins, 48-38.
There was six ties and lead changes in the contest as both team found themselves without an advantage with the score knotted up at the six minute mark at 31 all after a nice Matt Magness pass to Carl Cook shot.
For the next four minutes the game was with Hawkins as the Hawks could not get a rebound, as 77 seconds came off the clock while the CL could not get a rebound after several missed free throws from the visitors.

The Bracken Warriors won a much needed road game on Thursday night at Marble Falls Faith, 35-34.
The game kept fans on the edge of their seats as the final seconds ticked down and smiled on the Warriors.
“Exciting for the fans but nothing either coach will be using as a training aid for future teams,” Head Coach James Johnson said. “We had a very good effort defensively but not much of anything positive to say about the offensive execution.”
With a halftime deficit of seven points, the Warriors came out with a defensive effort Coach Johnson spoke of, “I thought we defended well and that was what saved us.” Read the rest here »

Canyon Lake holds the keys to the car for the final play-off spot even though they are sitting in fifth place with a 3-6 District 26-3A record with three games left to play.
One thing that does not change in this scenario is the need to win every game left on their schedule and the, ‘one down’ and three to go mantra, started last night in the Hawk Gym, when Canyon Lake had one of their most impressive wins in many moons over Bandera, 46-17.
Canyon Lake has now beaten the Bulldogs three games this year and each game the average fan can see improvement.
The first win was a closer than the score indicated victory, 44-29 during the CL Tournament. Canyon Lake had an one point lead at half and outscored the Bulldogs by 14 points in the second half.

Senior Missy Romero coming back for more Dominance
If the Canyon Lake Softball team can improve this season as much as last year’s team did, then you might see the Hawks make it to State.
Last season CL finished in second place in District play and made their first playoff appearance. Wanting more of the same would be an understatement.
In 2010, the Hawks finished the year owning a 4-20 record and proceeded to turn that around to a very respectable, 18-12 for 2011 season.

The final score could indicate a tight contest with several lead changes, however the game was not close for much of the contest.
Canyon Lake garnered more points in the fourth quarter (27) than they had in the first three quarters combined (25).
“We finally knew we could play with these guys,” Senior Matt Noyola said. “That is what gave us the confidence.”
The Hawks missed 15 free throws which should let you know what could of been done to get in the win column.
Noyola finished with 15 points and contributed 12 points in the second half. Noyola made his last eight free throws that help close the gap.

Hannah St. John with one of her Patented Drives.
Canyon Lake Girls asserted a much better effort in their second go around with Navarro as foul trouble and turnovers took their toll in a loss to the Panthers, 61-38 in the Hawks gym last Tuesday night.
There were some differences in the two contests.
One was having three players that did not have an opportunity to play in the first game.
The Hawks came out of the gate with a good game plan as they fought hard through the first quarter.
CL was tied with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, but with two starters sitting on the bench with three fouls took its toll as the short handed Hawks could not keep up with the District 26-3A front runner.
Amber Ramsey has been good for double figures in rebounds and points since her return to the lineup earlier this month. Ramsey fell to the whistle and played less than five minutes for the game.

Garrett Winters soars for two points as Sean Nolan waits for a rebound if needed.
The Canyon Lake Freshmen Boy’s Basketball team defeated Navarro 55-17 to improve to 10-5 on the season.
The Hawks’ defensive effort led the way as the Panthers were only able to score three points through three quarters.
“We talk about defense all the time, and it’s good to see that we came out and executed what we talk about,” Coach Luke Chapman said. “In order for us to be successful we have to play tough, physical defense, and the kids have bought into that.”
The Hawks match up with another district foe as they play at Boerne this Friday.
Freshman 1 2 3 4 Final
Navarro 0 1 2 14 17
Canyon Lake 10 13 16 16 55

The Hawks still could not get to the top of the hill as they were topped by

Doug Hubnik and Branson Belcher close in on another rebound.
Navarro in Overtime last Tuesday night, 42-37.
Canyon Lake was ahead for most of the game until two and a half minutes was left in the fourth quarter. The contest went into slow motion for the next 20 minutes as both teams battled to the wire.
“Hopefully we will learn some lessons,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard said. “There is really not much you can say….”
The undoing for CL was free throws once again, as the Hawks sank just 15 out of 28 tries.

The second quarter was the turning point that allowed the Hawks to distance themselves from Navarro. Canyon Lake outscored their counterparts by eight points in the quarter and maintained that advantage through the rest of the game, beating the Panthers, 51-44.
Three of the players enjoyed double figures scoring, Caleb Kreiger 13, Andrew Riali 12, and Tyler Clark 11.
The three players combined to hit 13 out of 21 shots. That percentage did not disappoint as the rest of the squad pitched in finishing with a 54.0% from the floor.
