Bracken Christian Warriors have a lot of work in front of them. The good thing about the upcoming season would be the view before the campaign starts.

The Warriors are looking at all of Division I football teams while being on top of the mountain. The view is great, but when the season gets going the team will be embarking on the 2011 Mountain and last year will be a memory.

“We had a veterans football team last year,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “This year we have a lot of question and have to rebuild our defense.”

Brandon Berger

The Canyon Lake Hawks will have a very pivotal position to be filled in the month of August. Jeff Nabors has taken his talents to the Houston area and with his departure leaves the Hawks looking for his replacement.

Nabors finished last season as All-District quarterback and helped take the team two rounds in the playoffs.

Senior Brandon Berger was the back up last season and settled into the starting role in the defensive backfield.

The Bracken Christian Warriors will start the year looking a little different. Junior Eli Achilles started his career in the safety position and now with the loss of Joe Lonigro, Achilles will be bringing his 207 tackles up to the linebacker spot.

The progression of the young man has been significant. Eli Achilles started his freshman year, 5’10” and 140 pounds. Achilles now has a much bigger frame, 6’2” and 166 pounds.

Eli trails only Grant Granato, who graduated last year, by 17 tackles to take over first place in that category. Achilles also leads the team with 12 interceptions for his career.

Head Coach Matt Monzingo

The ReSporter has come to a realization that you don’t have to have a catchy title when you have scored an interview with the Head Coach for Canyon Lake High School.

The Hawks have a lot of momentum coming into this season. The team won four out of its last five games, and the loss was razor thin.

This Summer the ReSporter has spent much of its time interviewing and talking about the Offensive Lineman and Coach Monzingo started right on the same page.

“There is nothing harder for the offensive line Coach, than to balance the pass blocking and run blocking,” Coach Monzingo started.

Bobby Flint

Bobby ‘the tackle machine’ Flint had a very good career for the Canyon Lake Hawks the last three years. Flint will be taking his football resume to Angelo State University Rams this coming Fall.

The ReSporter will be having Flint reflect on his new career with the Rams each week for the website. By having a series of articles with Flint giving you the fan and possible future player that might want to continue your playing days after your high school graduation.

BCS Depth Charges Hit Target Say GoodKnight to Covenant, 52-38

The Bracken Christian Warriors climbed a steep mountain in just five years to the pinnacle of TAPPS Division 1 football championship. The Warriors proved their worth in defeating Dallas Covenant Knights last Saturday in Moody, Texas.

The Championship game in Six-Man Division 1 has been dominated by schools in North Texas for the last six years. The Championship game has not had a south team play since the 2003 season, when Austin Regents ended their three year reign with three championships in a row.

Enter a team that many pundits said could not win the game because their was no depth on the roster. The team had one or two players at the most and that would not carry the Warriors to the trophy room. I don’t know what those pundits were smoking….but I do know that smoking is not allowed in the stadium, meaning they had not seen BCS play this year.

The ReSporter would like to take a look at the teams and what their football record was in comparison to the rest of the District. The records were only based on the team played in the regular season.

Canyon Lake played a 14-1 Wimberley team and so that was the number used for strength of schedule. The playoffs however were not calculated, so the 8-3 record of Burnet was not used nor was the Somerset record.

So each team will have a different number of games in the formula, but if the team played opponents that went far in the playoffs for their regular season game, then their record would reflect that calculation.
