more importantly in the fourth quarter as they raced to a resounding 14 point victory, 42-28 over Llano Yellowjackets on Tuesday night.

The game was a defensive and poor shooting affair as both teams averaged just 11 points in the first two stanzas against a former District foe.

New transfer, Caleb Kreiger was the main force in the Hawks getting the separation for the comfortable victory.

“We have good chemistry and I’m getting to know my teammates,” Kreiger admonished. “We’re getting better the more I watch and start to play my game.” (more…)

Senior Matt Magness was almost half the scoring for the Hawks scoring 20 points by driving to the basket with a great tear-drop shot.

“It’s a good shot when you are playing against a tall guys on the floor,” Magness stated.

Canyon Lake also knows that their goals are still in place as they beat a team that has played two other district teams with the same result.

The game was well in control when the second half started to warm up. After scoring five points in the second quarter the Hawks took control in the third quarter extending the lead to 11 points at the end of that stanza. (more…)

The Bracken Warriors lost by the slimmest of margins, Saturday in

losing, 32-28 to Abilene Christian Panthers in Semi-Final action at Moody, Texas.

“Sometimes you have heard it said that you can get a victory out of defeat,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “In this game I can say that this Bracken team did not quit and played with pride to get the game to within four points and that close to a winning score on the final play.”

The ‘Hail Mary’ was actually hard to do based on a 30-40 mile per hour winds in Quarterback Eli Achilles face on that final play.

Four seconds was the time showing on the scoreboard with BCS needing 50 yards to see another day on the gridiron.

“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.

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.”

Head Coach Matt Monzingo

“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.

season beating Round Rock Cedar Ridge 39-36. For the second straight game the Hawks relied on a great defensive team effort to pull out a game that came down to the last possession.

Leading the way for the Hawks was Garrett Winters with 15 points. Taylor Lucas chipped in with 6 points and Skylar Tschoepe and Branton Kindla added 5 apiece.
