The ReSporter: Canyon Lake beat Fredericksburg 3-1 on Tuesday and Head Coach Kim Paisley was kind enough to offer some answers for the game and season.

Head Volleyball Coach Kimberley Paisley
The ReSporter: Did not see Addison Farley on any of the leader lines, did she play or are you having a reduced roll for her?
Coach Paisley: “She did play and played the whole match. I guess the way the game played out, she wasn’t able to execute with the bigger girls she had across the net. His lineup couldn’t sustain both Bailey and Addison so one of them were not going to get the same look on offense. He had to pick one to try and stop. Also the rotation we had when we were serving and keeping them out of system, fell on Bailey front row and Addison back row. Addison had some great digs last night.”
The ReSporter: Could the players see a difference in facing Fred vs. those teams faced last week in San Antonio? Read the rest here »
Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Hosea Stredic

Head Coach Hosea Stedic
The ReSporter will be having a weekly Coaches Corner with Coach Stredic this season as this will be an interesting time getting to know the ‘New’ Head Coach of BCS…hope you enjoy the talks.
The ReSporter: Coach Stredic, tell us how many years you have been coaching and where you were stationed.
Coach Stredic: “I have been coaching for 20 years now and the whole time I have been in El Paso….Faith Christian from 1994 to 1997, I coached at Jesus Chapel and then on to Bethel Christian till 2011. I went back to Faith Christian and that is where I was coaching when I took the Bracken position.”
The ReSporter: Have you had this type of experience when you start at a school with a team this young? Read the rest here »
Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum

Canyon Lake’s Head Coach Charley Drum
The ReSporter will be having a weekly Coaches Corner with Coach Drum this season and hopes that this will be an informative time in understanding that week’s game and other information.
The ReSporter: Hey Coach, thanks for spending time with me and I have questions for your upcoming game….you have heard how much a team will improve from the first game to the second game in a season. Can you also say that your improvement is measurable from the last scrimmage to the first game?
Coach Drum: “Actually, this is different because a scrimmage has the coaches out on the field and we cannot be on the field during a game. A scrimmage is also a controlled game with so many plays for offense and defense. Even the half we played live has a running clock, so there are too many variables between a scrimmage and game situations.”
The ReSporter: So, that would be hard to compare in those situations… Read the rest here »
The new Hawk Tunnel has landed!
Well Hawk fans the new Hawk run through tunnel has arrived!
Since the end of 2014 football season ended in the playoffs, the idea of stepping up and replacing the old Hawk tunnel was born.
While there was much discussion in the bleachers last fall about replacing our original veteran tunnel, a true veteran took command of the idea and moved it from vision to reality.
Rufus Woods became that leader and started gathering his supporters together for what became an eight month odyssey of designs, re-designs, phone calls, emails and fundraisers.
Mr. Woods soon solicited the help of Cory Martelli to help with fundraising projects and phone calls in which he work behind the scenes and came up with the idea of the 1st Annual CLHS football team car washes.

Bracken Christian will be starting their 10th season in a week and this year will have a lot of newness to it.
First off, this might be one of the youngest teams the Warriors have ever fielded, so there is newness in that situation.
Then with a new head coach, there is certainly newness in that as you have a different system to go along with understanding and figuring out a new coach.
Head Coach Hosea Stredic will be taking the reigns for a team that has made the playoffs for the last 8 years and has amassed 80 wins which averages right at 9 wins per season.
Take into account that first year had just one win and you get the idea that Bracken is used to winning.
The second and final scrimmage was played on Friday with Austin Hill Country and San Marcos Hill Country teams as each school played a round robin affair with offense and defense.
Bracken’s scrimmage with Austin Hill Country turned out better than the scrimmage with San Marcos on this night.
“We are playing about the same,” Coach Stredic started when asked his overall assessment of the scrimmage. “We did not play with confidence in the game with San Macos like they did with Austin Hill Country.”
Coach Stredic was commenting on how much more sure the team was when they took the field with Austin HC compared to not playing to the same standard when coupled with San Marcos.
“Against Holy Trinity we will be at the right place with the young kids that we have,” Stredic commented on how the Warriors will take the field as the season starts in a week. “Maturity will need to come as they are still trying to get a new offense and play with confidence…we will have to be more offensive and fight, playing with more than just straight up hard nose.”
BCS will certainly have many more new faces on the field this season as one Sophomore, Cade Middleton, will play his first full fledge 6-man football game this week after transferring from Smithson Valley.

Cade Middleton will in his first 6-man game this Friday
“It has been going a little different,” Middleton stated. “I have to learn to trust everyone and you never know where the ball is going to go, so I need to stay on my feet.”
Middleton will have some nuances to his game as 6-man can be a much faster game as you have fewer players to cover if a mistake is made.
“I am going to play my hardest and try to know how everyone works out on the field,” Middleton closed.
Senior Daniel Forgione will be back for his Senior year after taking off a season.
“I want to play in the State Championship,” Forgione said unabashedly when commenting on what some of his goals for this season would be.
When commenting on what will need to transpire to accomplish that lofty goal, Forgione said, “Play as hard as you can and trust each other.”

Daniel Forgione will want to go out in style for his Senior campaign
Forgione will have a busy game plan as he could be playing on both sides of the ball.
“I will need to improve as much as I can as a running back,” Forgione commented. “We started out of shape, but we are in shape now after Coach (Stredic) has worked us…we have started a brand new system and I am just concentrating on getting it down.”
Another player, Junior Brady Beene will be calling the signals for his third year and his confidence and stature will attest to his readiness for the season to get started.
Beene’s stature was a funny start in talking with this confident young player.

Junior Quarterback Brady Beene is happy he is taller than his Sister now
The ReSporter: How tall are you now?
Brady Beene: “I hit 5’10 this year!!”
The ReSporter: Did you pass your older sister (Bailey)?
Brady Beene: “Yep, I am taller by 2 inches than she is now!”
Take note that Beene took a lot of tough hits through his first two years as he has been a rock on both sides of the ball.
“We are head over hills better than where we started the first of August,” Beene said in talking about where the team was since the first practice. “We started out of shape and now we know it (offense and being in shape).”
Beene will be one of the few upper classman that will need to lead this young group of players this season.
“The best way to lead is by example,” Beene said. “If you can’t do it on the field by yourself.”
“I hope to be better than last year as a team, and I will need to be a better leader, but I do want to go deeper in the playoffs,” a beaming Beene gleamed.
On what this team will need to do to reach these goals, Beene was quick with an answer, “As long as we get better every week then that would be our way for improving.”
Bracken has more players than last year’s team and that will go a long way in helping as the contests commence in less than a week.
Last year’s team was certainly talented, but having so many player playing both ways and injuries hurt for a chance of advancing.
Bracken Warriors are a playoff team and this will be another year for continuing that trend at BCS will start that quest against Holy Trinity at home.
Go Warriors!!

Hannah Wunderlich ready to finish off what Sam York digs up
Canyon Lake Hawks finish NEISD with win over SA Lee as they will enter their last phase of non-district games in a couple of weeks.
“We finished the tournament with a 3-5 record and we had some great games even though we lost some,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said. “The type of teams we played, we will not see that type of team for the rest of this season.”
Coach Paisley had a reason for her optimism with the Hawks record as each team played was in the largest private school size or a 6A school.
