Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields
The ReSporter: Give us an idea of this week’s game with Kerrville OLH.
Coach Fields: “Both teams are going to score a bunch of points….this series has produced some high scoring affairs and I don’t see this week’s game being any different.”
The ReSporter: Give me an idea about how good OLH is if they were held to just six points in their loss to Fredericksburg Heritage?
Coach Fields: “Their super back was not playing in that game, he was injured, he is #2 and is very good back and can be hard to get to defensively.”
The ReSporter: What else do you know about this player?
Coach Fields: “He is a better passer than runner, but he will make you pay either way.”
The ReSporter: How have your practices been going this week?

Coaches Corner with Canyon Lake’s Charley Drum
The ReSporter: Hey Coach, you have mentioned how each of the district games are like rounds in a boxing
Head Coach Charley Drum
match. How do you motivate your team when this next round is with a team that has not won a game this year?
Coach Drum: “First of all, Taylor is in the same shoes we were in last year when we entered district play without a win and lost our first game with Fredericksburg. We fought our way back into the playoffs and so our players need to realize this team is fighting like we did last season. Also, in Taylor’s game with Liberty Hill, they almost won that game and so they will realize that this team has the ability to beat us if we aren’t ready.”
The ReSporter: The team has certainly cut down on those turnovers in their last few games….is this something that you have emphasized or was a lot of those problems was just the weather and wet ball?
Coach Drum: “We will need to have execution and many times it is just a mental thing….so, we need to keep that part of our game with taking care of the ball.”

Kerrville OLH will be a handful for Bracken this Friday night at Warrior Stadium.
Senior Running Back Noah Boriack will be counted on for a big game against OLH
The Hawks have a very balanced attack averaging 150 yards rushing and 180 yards passing.
Senior Wide Receiver and Defensive Back Matthew Williams (#7) will be one of the Hawks that Bracken will need to control to have a chance in winning this game.
Connor Odom will also be a prime target for OLH’s passing attack from quarterback Hernandez (#2).
Defensively OLH has many players that will get their hands dirty in tackling the ball. Rance Frazier (#3), Connor Odom (#44), and Zach Ramsey (#45) are all capable of reaching double figures in tackles.
A worry for Bracken is how well OLH played against Austin Veritas in losing by just three points and having the lead until the end of that game.
Veritas had an easy go of it against Bracken earlier this year and this particular game gave BCS a wake up call on how tough this game could be to win.
Injuries and just not having enough players is still a major concern for this Warrior team as they scratch and claw their way into their last two games.
Winning the district will not be an option, but how BCS will be seeded for the playoffs as a wild card team will hinge on how Bracken finishes this race.
Bracken can certainly beat OLH but they will need to have all hands on deck in this game as there has been a Mash Unit setting up shop at each of Bracken’s practices as this season enters into it’s final stage.
Seniors will need to play lights out while the younger Warriors have now played enough games that they will need to up their game to get this job done.
This is a rivalry game as there is a lot of respect shared by both of these teams throughout their years of competition.
Quarterback Brady Beene will be returning for a full load as he has been playing limited action these past two weeks.
Noah Boriack is nursing some nagging hurts as well as Coy Zunker who would not tell you if he is hurting or not.
Jeff Camp will be another player that will need to help on both sides of the ball and of course those freshman like Thomas Johnson and Cristian DeLeon.
Turnovers will certainly be a key ingredient in getting this game to finish on the good side for Bracken as they prepare for seeding in the Playoffs.
Go Warriors!!

Canyon Lake will be officially in the Playoffs next week as they will have the honor of playing by finishing in second place in District 26-4A after beating La Vernia on Tuesday night, 25-17, 25-20, 25-21.
This win was a sweet victory after answering La Vernia’s five game set in that last contest with the Bears.
A win that showed improvement from a previous game is a sign that Canyon Lake might be ready for their next goal.
Goals are something that has been reached on several venues with this year’s team.
“We were more crisp in our game tonight,” Head Coach Kim Paisley said. “It feels wonderful.”

Hawks Boys Cross Country team makes history with their first time to qualify for Regions when they finished in third place in last week’s District 26-4A Meet in Navarro.
Senior Nash Opperman is all smiles as the Boys Team made History in Qualifying for Regions
Canyon Lake’s Girls team also had a fifth place finish at the meet.
“I know that it has been very exciting for us to see such a great pay off for the hard work they have put in this season,” Head Cross Country Coach Mary Beth Gallahger said excitedly. “We have great young runners who will hopefully get a taste of what a regional is like and be hungry to return next season.”
Senior Christy Fowler finished 15th for the girls Varsity while the Hawks had three JV girls medal.
Sydney Young, Kaylie Yuill, and Amira Allen helped in giving the JV Hawk Girls a 3rd place finish in District 26-4A, last Wednesday meet.
For the Varsity Boy’s, Senior Nash Opperman was the man as he finished 10th in the meet which would of qualified as an individual.

BCS had a much needed blow out win over Pflugerville Concordia last Friday night, 69-0.
This win now set outs the last two games of Bracken’s regular season and how they finish will help in what type of team to play in that first round of playoff games.
Concordia is competing in their first year and the Bracken faithful can empathize with how a season that you think will never end.
The Warriors finished with one win that year, but had a little more on their plate as they played many team on their schedule very close in that campaign.
2006 First Year Close Games:
Game Scores Comment
SA Lutheran 48-44 Only win for season, was third game.
Temple Central 42-44 A win here would have evened their season.
Marble Falls Faith 28-37 Good game after being blown out in two previous battles.
CC Annapolis 54-58 Loss by four and most points scored as season finished.
Bracken Christian had just 17 offensive plays and six of those plays were called on the first drive on this night.
Four of those plays were was accomplished by passing the ball as Bracken would had Jeff Camp with the most receiving yardage in Bracken’s history by finishing with 138 for the game.
Senior Coy Zunker hitting machine.

Mountain Valley’s 8B team rushed out to a 14 point lead and held on for a win over Fredericksburg’s Middle School, 14-6.
Wyatt Meckel is all in on getting two more wins this year against Boerne
That first MV drive was all it would take to get this win as the Hawks drove 67 yards and the eventual win when Nic Robinson scored from four yards out and put a cherry on this TD with a run for the two point conversion.
The next Mountain Valley drive was cut short after reaching the Billies’ 19 yard line and fumbling that chance away.
Fredericksburg’s first three drives would end with punts as the Hawks would score their two touchdowns for a 14-0 lead going into halftime.
Christian Rhoades had a great set of downs on that scoring drive with a nifty 46 yard run and then a nine yard run two plays later for that score.
