Thanksgiving holiday, but how are parent’s taking this ‘new’ holiday tradition?

“It’s worth it,” Scott Wilkinson, Austin Wilkinson’s Dad said. “If you are practicing then that means you are one game away playing for it all.”

Bracken Christian is preparing for a game of epic proportions this time around. The scuttlebutt going around internet sites is how both teams are bringing a lot of accolades to the gridiron for this Saturday’s clash.

So how did the Warriors practice go for this pre/Thanksgiving dinner?

“It was good,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We’re healthy and the kids know the challenge that faces them.”

Bracken Christian is on a 25 game winning streak, but this game is different than games played before.

There seems to be more resolve and players practicing with a different intensity.

Coaches Corner: Canyon Lake’s Matt Monzingo

Time with Head Coach Matt Monzingo morphed to looking into the future of the football program.

The Hawks have just finished an 8-2 record while beating some very good teams in the process.

The Sealy game comes to mind as Canyon Lake had one of its most important statement games in the short history for this program.

“We (CL) will reevaluate everything we are doing,” Coach Monzingo started. “From pre-game to halftime we will go over all of it.”

Talking about the players coming back, Coach Monzingo said, “We will have to move some guys around while we evaluate our depth.”

“We will have to develop a defensive end and defensive line,” Monzingo continued. “We want to find some meanness in them and find some guys with an attitude.”

Canyon Lake is losing several players on both sides of the line that had put in considerable minutes.

Bracken Steps On Austin Hill Country, 60-42

Bracken Warriors (11-0) took their first step on their journey to Moody, Texas where the State Championship will be played in two weeks. BCS outscored the Knights 44-28 in the second half willing a victory over the third place team in State.

The first half, however was a different story as both team’s defense controlled the other team’s offense.

“We looked like a football team that came off an open date and had to play the number three team in State,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.

Bracken’s offense had 186 yards at the half, with 84 yards passing and rushing which was the least amount this season.

The Warriors actually had a chance to have 24 points that were denied based on penalties that called each of the three touchdowns back.

Senior Ty Zunker was the first victim when he intercepted and returned the pass 69 yards and all he got was winded as the Warriors set up shop deep in their own territory.

Boy’s Basketball: Cedar Ridge beats Canyon Lake, 50-44

Canyon Lake (1-1) lost a tough game to Cedar Ridge last Friday at the Hawk Gym, 50-44.

The Hawks had to dig themselves out of a hole as they closed out the first quarter down by eight points. The game started tight with both teams not able to break loose as they were tied six all halfway through the quarter.

Cedar Ridge got separation after making a three pointer and increasing the lead to the end of the stanza.

Canyon Lake was finding it hard scoring points while shooting 30 percent in the quarter.

“We addressed that the shooting will be an issue initially,” Head Coach Jeff Maynard started.

If not for free throws, the Hawks would of been in even more hurt.

Coaches Corner: Lloyd Fields talking Austin Hill Country

The ReSporter was able to have one more audience with Coach Lloyd

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Fields before the big game this Saturday in Marble Falls against Austin Hill Country Knights.

Both teams are presently rated second and third in State by The Bible of Six-Man Football in the State of Texas. Bracken is the second rated team, but the power polls has the game a toss-up.

AHC had a harder time than they expected against Rockwall Heritage last week in the first round of games.

“They (AHC) were not prepared to play Rockwall Heritage,” Coach Fields stated. “Heritage had a 30-16 lead and then they got three starters hurt…Austin Hill Country will hit you…both teams will be better and we are both 100% healthy for this game.”
