Warriors Run out of Time in Loss to Summit, 85-72
Daniel Forgione helped Bracken with a record rushing day
Bracken Christian ran out of time in loss to Cedar Park Summit last Friday night, 85-72.
The Warriors could not find an answer to the lethal passing and running of the Eagles as BCS’s only stop for the defense was a fumble that was recovered in the 4th quarter and a victory snap to run out the clock.
“Their (Summit’s) number 11 could run, see the field, and throw the ball,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic said. “We ran the ball very well and we stayed in the tight formation the whole game and scored 72 points….but, all is good because the playoffs is a new season.”
Bracken has shown great improvement as this season has transpired in scoring 72 points in the loss that very well could had been a mercy game if played in the first part of this year’s campaign.
This game would have the Warriors in the tight offensive set all night as the ground and pound offense was relentless for BCS in scoring.
Bracken’s longest drive was a 10 play 62 yard drive that took 4:13 off the clock and helped bring the Warriors to within two scores in this back and forth see/saw contest.
Presley Day and Daniel Forgione together ran for 407 yards as the punch and counter punch was used for this game’s entirety.
“We were surprisingly not tired and we have done conditioning,” Forgione said in response of how tired he was after the game in which he rushed for 173 yards. “We just could not stop #11 but our offense was great but our defense needs work.”
Day finished with 234 rushing yards which beat his earlier game of 208 yards and Day is part of a special group of Warrior runners who have rushed for more that 200 yards.

Noah Boriack 6 1,501 250.2
Presley Day 2 442 221.0
BCS picked up their own fumble by Day for the first score, but the officials ruled the play as a delay on the run which ended up costing the Warriors their first score which would have been a game changer knowing how this game finished.
Bracken had their 483 yards of total offense rank as 14th highest total in BCS history in the best of the season.

Yes, there are a lot of numbers but those digits are what can tell the story on where a team has been and where that team would like to be.
This young team has now experienced 10 games and those freshman for all intense and purposes could be classified as Sophomores as they will now prepare for the fun part of the season.
“Our freshman are freshman in name only,” QB Brady Beene said in response on how far this group of players have progressed this year.
Bracken Christian’s 439 yards rushing also rushed up to the 6th All-Time Game in that category.

Based on the numbers above, the Warriors did do more damage with multiple backs as Day’s 234 rushing yards is right at 100 yards lower than Noah Boriack’s 316 yards game with OLH.
Of course there were some other records that came from the defensive side of the ball which you could guess as not being bragging points.
This does leave a lot of room for Coach Stredic to emphasize in this week’s of practices.

As this season goes into the next stage, Bracken will be having more of their players inching into the storied record books for BCS.
Now Bracken will take their game on the road this coming Saturday as they will travel to Dallas Tyler Street for the first round of playoffs at 2pm.
“We definitely can get our defense back in shape so we can stop them (Tyler Street) and still do it (win),” Forgione said with resolve.
The directions should not be hard, as The ReSporter will throw a guess that the school is located on Tyler Street.
Go Warriors!!
