Canyon Lake JV squad is night day different team from last season.
Case and point is watching Liberty Hill jumping up and down after winning a squeaker contest over a team that was lucky to score much less get a win a year ago.
Offensive Lineman Tyler Kidd and Running Back Charlie McIntosh
The ReSporter remembers interviewing Tyler McCleary after a game last season because he scored two points after intercepting a two point conversion try running 100 yards to score those points.
This year, not only is this team winning, but they are playing with such improvement that any game is a winnable affair.
An on-side kick to start the game did give the Hawks a chance to inflict some pain on this Panther team, but that drive did not produce a first down and Liberty Hill was just delayed in having a chance with the ball.

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Head Coach Lloyd Fields
The ReSporter: Hey Coach, was there a difference in this week’s of practices after losing your first game last week?
Head Coach Lloyd Fields
Coach Fields: “No difference, this is probably the most unemotional group of players that I have ever had at Bracken…they are very workmanlike. These guys are in survival mold and are just fortunate that they are still playing.”
The ReSporter: You mention the number of players you have, what does that do for the players as they are playing, in many cases, the whole game?
Coach Fields: “There is no middle ground with these players. They are unscathed….their lack of numbers is starting to catch up with then but this is a new era in Bracken as we have many players that are just trying to stay healthy. This is all we got and the younger players are all trying.”
The ReSporter: How are you approaching this week’s game with New Braunfels Christian?

Bracken closes in on Austin Veritas
Bracken Christian did not have a defense to stop this Veritas Defenders team and lost in a mercy game, 60-14 last Friday night.
“They (Veritas) were so physical and they just dominated us,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.
BCS has scored less than 14 points only three other times as they tied with four other games with their 14 points scored against Veritas. Bracken has never been shut-out since they started playing 101 games ago.
Bracken is now 44-5 when holding an opponent under 200 yards rushing as Veritas only mustered 92 rushing on this night. However, in that same vein, this Veritas game is now ranked No.1 in yardage given up via the pass. The Defenders were able to put up 333 yards passing on BCS with bomb after bomb in this loss.
On a positive note, the Warriors did show life on offense, albeit too late, when the second half started and Noah Boriack was able to get loose for a 43 and 70 yard touchdown runs. The unfortunate part of that nugget was having just three more plays to take a snap and not being able to capitalize.
Longest Runs in BCS History:
Player Yards Year Game
Grady Achilles 78 2010 Austin Hill Country
Eli Achilles 78 2012 Sugar Land Logos
Eli Achilles 78 2012 SA The Winston
Noah Boriack 74 2013 San Marcos Hill Country
Grady Achilles 71 2011 Houston Emery-Weiner
Noah Boriack 70 2014 Austin Veritas
Austin Wilkinson 70 2011 New Braunfels Christian
Boriack also passed the 1,000 yard barrier for this year in rushing, as now will zero in on a 2,000 yard season.
That total has only been reached three times by Grady Achilles (twice) and Eli Achilles.
Bracken started this night being just short by one yard in getting a first down on the Warriors first drive, when Christian De Leon almost made the first down marker.

That miss allowed Veritas to drive down to the Warrior one yard line and being stopped without a score.
That drive had Coy Zunker and Zack Fasenmeyer both stopping Veritas’ runners for minus four yards on consecutive plays.
After another dry run on their next drive, Bracken punted for just the sixth time this season and Austin Veritas would score with 27 seconds left on that first quarter clock.
Bracken was stopped again after reaching the two yard line and still could not punch it in after Brady Beene was sacked on a third down play.
It took Veritas just two plays to score this time as Snow rumbled on a 69 yard pass play on what would be all the points needed for a win on this night, 16-0.
Jeff Camp was able to catch three passes, but for the most part the passing game went silent after a 32 yard gain for Camp which was 71% of Bracken’s total passing yardage and that is counting eight more passes caught on this night. A silent 1.6 yards per catch to cap off the 45 passing yards.
“We needed better blocking,” Senior Receiver Camp said. “We need to play with more heart…we need to play like man and not little boys….it all goes back to needing to tighten up and find the players that have more heart.”
Bracken started the second half down 24 points and had held the Defenders on their first drive.
The Warriors would respond on a one play, Boriack up the middle, for 70 yard play. This happened on both times Boriack touched the ball in the second half, his other run covered 43 yards and both had him sprinting to the goal line with no resistance.
BCS would have only 5 offensive plays in the third quarter and scoring on two one play drives. A fumble on what would be their last drive would ice the game after that costly mistake.
The miscue that plagued Bracken the most in that second half was allowing Veritas to have success on their on-side-kicks and giving this dangerous team more chances with a chance to score. While keeping Bracken’s offense on the shelf.
That Veritas did to the tune of scoring on five of their final six times with the ball and running away with this game.
Having a good kicking game was another way of tacking on more than enough points to keep this Warrior team without much hope.
In a nut shell, Bracken just did not have enough fire power as Austin Veritas showed up with more than enough players, giving them a huge advantage as this game wore on.
“Playing with 8 guys versus 18 was too much to overcome,” Coach Fields said. “We knew this would happen sooner or later.”
One last little stat, both teams scored 50 points in that third quarter which has only been topped two times previously. The down side was those two other games had the Warriors inflicting most of that damage.

Game Article | Comments Off on Warriors Could not Defend the Defenders Losing, 60-14 to Veritas
Mountain Valley 7th and 8th B squads were combined for a game with Lago Vista to kick-off a three game affair with the Vikings.
“Our kids played hard tonight,” Head Coach Blake Miller quoted. “I am very excited for our kids today to get this win. A number of them stepped up and played well even though the circumstances were not the best.”
This Hawk club was victorious, 32-6 as this game was with a running clock from the opening whistle.
If you add another facet of a Lago Vista coaching staff, waiting to call a play about one per minute, fans would have a good reason to see if paint actually does dry that slowly.

Game Article | Comments Off on MV 7&8 B Teams Use Paint Remover in Win, 32-6 over Vikings
Mountain Valley 7A team sunk Lago Vista Vikings, 22-0 on Thursday night as the defense controlled their game.
Hawk Running Back Nick Rivera after, 22-0 victory over Lago Vista
The Hawks started the game with a methodical 48 yard drive taking five minutes off the clock and forging to a 8-0 early lead.
This drive was highlighted by a Nick Rivera 26 yard run which set up MV 7A squad on Lago Vista’s 2 yard line.
From there Nelson Madera would score both a touchdown and the extra point run.
The Vikings were not threatening Mountain Valley’s defense as they could only accumulate 13 yards of offense for this game.
In that first half Rivera was a hard luck player as this athlete returned a punt and interception for a touchdown, and both were called back by a penalty.
The punt return happened first when Rivera would run through the Viking players like a pin ball for 51 yards.

Mountain Valley Coaches discusses with team where the sunken Viking ship went down.
Mountain Valley 8th A squad was all over Lago Vista from the get-go, as their shortest offensive play was an eight yard pass to J.T. Greene, as this Viking team is still trying to find their ship after a blowout, 43-0.
Trenton Lorett, Tristan Chicon, and Jacob Thomas were all ‘smiles’ after beating LV Vikings
A running clock had a better chance of gaining yards on this Hawk defense than this Viking’s offense could muster.
MV was in top form for every facet of this contest, from Special Teams to Offense to Defense, it was all Hawks.
The Vikings average 0.13 yards per carry which would take Lago Vista 76.9230769230769 plays to garner a first down base on that average.
Defensive End Jacob Thomas had one play that he could have taken a handoff, as he was in Lago Vista’s backfield so fast.
“We just went down and dominated them,” Thomas said. “Coaches told us to stay low and we did what they asked.”
Scoring drives were even more impressive. Mountain Valley’s offense had the ball six times and scored on those drives in 10 plays total.
