Defensive Back and Kicker Jake Robinson

Canyon Lake had the right man for the job last year when kicking was part of the defensive Back and Kicker Jake Robinson game. Jake Robinson only missed two extra points last season while kicking two field goals for a team that averaged five touchdowns per game.

The offense ran at a high octane level last season and if they have a repeat, then you can count on the extra point to be good.

Robinson was successful on 45 out of 47 tries and those numbers with the two field goals, had Jake with 51 points.

That has this young man in fourth place for career scoring and with another year like 2011 season, Robinson could end his career in second place in points scored for the Hawks.

Sam Hilgendorf returns with more holding on the season

What we do know? BCS has had a great run the past three years which encompassed a State Championship and two final four appearances.

A case can be made that the Warriors were the second best team in both of those losses in the semis, as they played the eventual Champion in both cases and played them much closer than the other bracket winner.

Now The ReSporter would like to look into the crystal ball and see what this year’s edition might do in a two part series breaking down the schedule with non-district games first and then see what the district might have in store this year.

When Bracken took their Summer vacation last May, the district had six games which was the largest in Division 1.

The ReSporter would like to finish this year’s sports campaign by

Senior Missy Romero

recognizing three Seniors that were covered by this website.

Last Thursday night, Canyon Lake Coaches announced their winners at a Banquet for the Track, Baseball, Golf, and Softball teams during the spring awards night.

Missy Romero, Matt Magness, and Zach Henshaw were the three students recognized by their Coaches as Seniors that were the outstanding athlete for this academic year.

Missy Romero literally kept the Softball program in the circle the past four years.

Softball was one of the last team sports to make the playoffs last season, when they not only qualified for the playoffs, but was the first team to ever finish second in District competition.

Romero has set the standard for CL Softball for years to come, as she signed on with Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi before the season was in full gear.

Canyon Lake had several sports banquets last week and The ReSporter would like to give you the scoop on who did what.

Last Thursday night CL had golf, baseball, and track teams in attendance at the Hawk gym, where the coaches and parents had the opportunity to hear about their sons and daughters and give them the accolades that were well deserved.

BASEBALL:

Logan Felch

“Future looks bright,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant started as he rallied the team for their awards. “This was the hardest working group and it looks very promising for next year. Senior night went very fast with only one player. We are very young and I’m excited for next year.”

Coach Hilgendorf flanked by Sam Hilgendorf and Arnold Adame after Practice

The Seniors that just graduated from Bracken Christian scored 1727 points in their four year career as Warriors. That is .496% of the total points by every other player to ever put a royal blue uniform on.

Reflect now on the job at hand for this year’s football team and what type of pressure they will be under to try and continue this status quo. Is it possible?

That is what the Coaches have been trying to find out for the past two weeks during spring practice.

Let’s start at the top. Eli Achilles will be very pivotal for the Warriors this season. This will be his fourth year taking snaps for BCS.

Achilles has a pretty solid record, 35-4 and he has grown (literally) since that first year as a freshman.

Head Basketball Coach Jeff Maynard

Canyon Lake Basketball is down to just one Coach after Head Coach Jeff Maynard made the announcement that this would be his last year on the bench.

The Hawks had known about JV Coach David Bentzen leaving at the end of basketball season and a couple of months of silence was met with this news out of the blue.

When asked about the decision to leave, Coach Maynard was quick with an answer, “Family! Spending time with my kids and seeing her (my daughter’s) games…Coaching would not give me that opportunity. I will be working for Farm Bureau Insurance and I’m local, born and raised. So this deal was too good to pass up.”

Coach Maynard continued, “It’s going to be tough, but I have been thinking about a change and it was very coincidental and this deal for me that just seemed right. I did not want to kick myself if I missed the years of watching my children growing up. Coaching from football to basketball takes a lot of time from the family.”

Now Canyon Lake has made the quick decision and moved Freshman Coach Lucas Chapman up to Head Coach.
