Bracken Christian finished their regular season with three years running of having at most, just one defeat.
Davis Scott and Eli Achilles will be preparing for Playoffs this week.
Running backs, Preston Koch and Eli Achilles had their second consecutive game where both runners finished with over 100 yards rushing.
Bracken also scored in various ways, running, receiving, interception return, and kick-off return. Pretty much a complete game in all aspects.
Eli Achilles started things off with a 68 yard interception return for a touchdown.
OLH had the ball for the first 14 plays of the game and the only thing this Hawk team could claim was zero points on the board.
Bracken Christian then responded with their longest drive of the game, going 74 yards on seven plays.
Every play but their final run of three yards was an 11 yard or more run, by Koch or Achilles. This drive had Koch with 42 yards and Achilles with two runs for 32 yards.
Eight drives and eight scores for BCS.
A perfect strike from Achilles to Davis Scott for 58 yards was the Warriors next score after a 10 yard run from Mason Anthony.

Canyon Lake got run over by a Reindeer, yes we know that Navarro’s mascot is a Panther, but the Christmas song seemed nicer than the results incurred Friday night at Hawk Stadium, as the Hawks finished a disappointing season, 49-14.
The Hawks first drive had three runs totaling four yards and one completion for 11, giving CL one first down. That first down would be the only conventional play for the rest of the half. (The other two were recorded on those long TD receptions)
That first down would be CL’s only good impact play for a quarter and a half.
While Navarro would rack up 224 yards and four scores during that span, Canyon Lake was still trying to find it’s footing with six total yards on 12 plays.
The longest run in that stint was for two yards while the Hawks were one for five, with that aforementioned 11 yard pass play being their only first down.
Canyon Lake had lived most of this year trying to convert long third down plays. The result was sporadic at best, especially as this season had matured.
Excitement did come into this contest when facing a 28 point deficit, the Hawks unleashed a bright spot for this season with two long pass plays.
With their next two possessions, Canyon Lake had a 65 (Doug Hubnik) and 67 (Daniel Camarillo) yard pass and runs which brought your Hawks to within just two scores going into halftime.
Hubnik caught his pass with a Navarro defensive player holding on for dear life. The play was on a fourth down.

District Champions 7'B' Squad with Scoreboard saying it all. Congrats!!
Mountain Valley 7th A squad was much better than this final score as turnovers played a key roll in a, 26-8 loss to Navarro for their last game of this season at Hawk Stadium.
Navarro is not a team you can beat very often when you have the turnover bug. The Panthers are a ground team that can churn out yards while bleeding the clock.
Those two realities were present in this battle, as two fumbles and interception led to a touchdown with a lot of lost time for the visitors and no time to make up the deficit for Mountain Valley.
Navarro had first dibs and moved the ball 64 yards on 11 plays while taking off all but 1:34 left on the first quarter clock.
Then two plays and a fumble for Mountain Valley left the Hawk offense looking from the sideline again. All told, MV had the ball for seven total plays in the first half.
Navarro is a good example of teams that very seldom make mistakes. Just two penalties for seven yards and no turnovers was the difference in this game.

Canyon Lake Freshman finished a very fine season with a six point loss to the District Champions
Canyon Lake Freshman Hawks have final Post Game talk with Coaches
Navarro Panthers, 34-28 last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.
CL started the game with an onside kick that was executed to perfection when Brandon Ward pounced on the ball on Navarro’s 44 yard line.
“We were kicking into the wind, so we figured we would have an onside kick,” Coach Levi Montgomery said.
The Hawks struggled on the first drive with their runs, but the pass play was very successful when Joseph Arredondo connected with Tavion Soliz twice, one pass was converting a fourth and seven from the Panther 42 yard line.
Three more running plays, then Arredondo found Soliz for a beautiful pass and catch from 17 yards out for their first score in this game.
Arredondo had his hand wrapped and was not expected to play in this game, “I had a hairline fracture and I did not want to sit out of my last game,” Arredondo said reverently. “My parent’s prayed over it (the hand) and I thought that I would be able to just punt and kick in the game.”
Navarro did not waste much time, as they also moved down the field with nothing but running plays and only two of their nine plays were four yard gains. The rest were consistently in the five to nine yards per hand off.
The 56 yard drive only took 3:35 seconds which gives you an idea of how fast paced their running game was humming.
Navarro passed more on their two point conversions than during the game.
Canyon Lake tied the game at 14 on their third possession with another key pass play to Soliz for 35 yards, setting up the Hawks with a first down on Navarro’s 17 yard line.
Another key play came from the feet of Arredondo as he ran a bee line down the sideline for 11 yards and first down.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach Drum, this week your team will be
Head Coach Charley Drum
facing a known offense and yet it is one of the toughest offenses to control, why?
Coach Drum: “Our biggest problem is simulating this type of offense in practice. They (Navarro) have been running this offense since Seventh Grade and it is just hard to simultate.”
The ReSporter: Tell us a little more about what makes this offense so hard to figure out.
Coach Drum: “There are different keys for the defense. The Defensive Line, Linebackers, and Defensive Backs are all looking for different areas for assignment football.”
The ReSporter: In Navarro’s two losses this season, how did those teams disrupt this Panther team?
Coach Drum: “Wimberley had good penetration and controlled their line of scrimmage. You have to have a good scheme. If you do something to slow them down, then they can counter and they have done a good job doing that this season. Navarro has been successful because they don’t have a lot of turnovers.”

The ReSporter:Hello Coach Fields, I would like to know if OLH Hawks are a
Head Coach Lloyd Fields
better team than the one that played earlier this season.
Based on their game with Seguin Lifegate when they lost 50-0…that game seems to standout based on their body of work.
Coach Fields: “They have a whole new coaching staff and that will always throw a team behind. They started the season in a transitional position and so based on having a full season by now, I can say they are a better team than the one that took the field against Lifegate.”
The ReSporter: You have a short week after playing a late game on Saturday. What is the make up of your team this week as they prepare for OLH?
Coach Fields: “This is kind of a rivalry game for us. The loser of this game will either finish third or fourth (OLH) in district. It is also the last home game for the Seniors and end of an era for most of the kids.”

There has been some classic games against Kerrville OLH from past years.
One such game played in 2009 was the last time Bracken had lost at home.
OLH had more in their tank in that contest as they poured it on in the second half and pulled away from a Bracken team that was on an 8 game winning streak and had a lot of momentum going into the post season.
Then in 2010, BCS returned the favor and narrowly escaped with a nine point win in Kerrville which allowed the Warriors to play a home playoff game while OLH would be relegated to a tougher road in the playoffs.
In fact, Bracken met up with OLH again that year in the third round of those playoffs.
It was a classic game that went into overtime with Bracken intercepting a pass that put your Warriors into their championship game and eventual TAPPS Trophy against Dallas Covenant.
Last year, Kerrville OLH and Bracken was battling for a District crown and the Warriors ‘Mercy’ gamed the visitors on this go around, 79-34. It was a 24th game winning streak for Bracken that got them eventually into another final four round.

Canyon Lake has just one option this week. Win, and if possible more than 14 points.
Navarro will be bringing their run game to Hawk stadium and if you can think back two years ago, then you might remember over 500 yards gained on the ground by that Panther team.
Navarro only has one loss in District 27-3A competition and that loss was by one point to Wimberley.
Boerne was beaten by 14 points to Navarro leaving just one other choice for Canyon Lake.
If Boerne could beat Wimberley, then Canyon Lake could win by one point over Navarro to squeeze into the third spot in district play. That win would give CL the bid based on head to head action.
