Coaches Corner
Head Coach Hosea Stredic
The ReSporter had some time to talk with Head Coach Hosea Stredic at Bracken Christian after their first loss of the season this week.
The ReSporter: What will you do to get the younger players on your squad ready for their first road game with The Winston?
Coach Stredic: “I will let them know that although we are going for a ride, it is just another room in our big house. It is our home wherever we go and play.”
The ReSporter: How will you go through your week realizing that you will have to address many of the things that went wrong in the game with Austin Hill Country?
Coach Stredic: “We will practice as planned….Get back into our routine, and we will be fine.” Read the rest here »

Bracken Christian had a wake up call on Friday night as they could not respond the onslaught
of offense and defensive power from Austin Hill Country losing, 57-8.
“Austin Hill Country knocked us in the mouth early and we never made it up to the plate,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic said. “We weren’t firing off of the ball and we were not blocking and when we did block then our running backs were not getting to the hole.”
“We looked like we were lost,” Coach Stredic said looking for an exit.
The Warriors have scored in every game and it has been 20 games since Bracken has not been in double digit scoring in a game. Back in their loss to Boerne Geneva in 2013 season.
Bracken did not go long in the not scoring phase of this game as the Warriors had some trickery as they had Brady Beene running as if he was going to the sideline then snapped the ball as Beene darted down the sideline not being covered.

A perfect pass by Lucas McCrum and Bracken was in business on the Knights 14 yard line when Daniel Forgione had his longest run of the game for a touchdown and a quick, 8-0 lead after Carlos Navarro was good with his kick.
That lead lasted 34 seconds as AHC would give the home town fans an idea of how this game would transpire for the remainder of the evening with a run from 20 yards out and a tied ballgame.

Daniel Forgione is looking to pass his Coach (brother) on the all-time rushing list
Bracken Christian Woo Hits Victoria Cobras in , 52-19 win at Warrior Stadium last Friday night to start their season 2-0.
It happened near the end of the game when Sophomore Cristian DeLeon laid a hit on the Cobra kick-off return man right after picking up the ball. A woo hit that excited, new head football coach, Hosea Stredic.
“We finally hit somebody,” and that hit had several people, including Coach Stredic, pumping his fist in the air and exclaiming, Woooo!!!!
“Don’t get me wrong, we teach the kids how to tackle and we have been doing that, but we are tackling without hitting….the team has been swarming to the ball to get a tackle. When you have a hit available then you need to make it a woo hit and then you can hear everyone in the stands say, ‘wooo’.”
It was the Cobra’s that got the first woo when they took their second possession for a score for their first and only lead of the game.
Quarterback Brady Beene was off on his first pass of the game which resulted in an interception, giving the Cobras the ball and eventual score on their next possession.
Beene did not have one of his best games passing as he missed on some wide open receivers but he also responded when needed for this win.

Bracken Christian started their season with a win over Temple Holy Trinity to the tune of, 54-24.
“Our guys executed and started off like they should have,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic said. “It was all about execution.”
It was music to the Warriors ears as Cristian De Leon opened the game with a 48 yard kick off return as BCS used that score and added two more for a 24-0 first quarter lead.
More music to the ears came at the sound of watching Carlos Navarro complete 7 out of 8 scores with extra point success that can many times spell doom or victory in 6-man games.
Daniel Forgione also was a first chair recipient as he returned to Bracken’s sideline after a one year absence by finishing with 2 touchdowns and 144 yards rushing.
Some rookies also played their horns well, as Presley Day finished this ensemble with 208 rushing yards, capping it off with a 74 yard touchdown run putting him with a good group of accomplished Warrior rushers.
Player Yds Game Year
1. Grady Achilles 78 Austin Hill Country 2010
1. Eli Achilles 78 SA Winston 2012
3. Presley Day 74 Temple Holy Trinity 2015
3. Noah Boriack 74 San Marcos Home School 2013
5. Grady Achilles 71 Emery-Weiner 2011
6. Noah Boriack 70 Austin Veritas 2014
6. Austin Wilkinson 70 New Braunfels Christian 2011
The music was not only played by the offense but the defense also hummed a couple of bars as newcomer Cade Middleton finished with 9 tackles and Day put 8 Temple players to the ground.
Noble Simmons not only had a sack, but he caused a fumble on the play and recovered the ball to complete the stanza.
“I believe the Defensive End is the most important position on defense,” Coach Stredic stated. “We are in trouble if the DE cannot keep the play going to the inside….it is not their job to get tackles.”
Another player that did not have a lot of time on the field was Senior Joshua Chu, but this young man made every play count as he had two tackles in a row for lost yardage.
“Chu, is our secret weapon,” Coach Stredic said strategically. “He came in and gave guys a breather.”
The maestro (Coach Stredic) was also waving his hands on the sidelines helping the participants to be sure to not miss a note, as this tune had all the parts playing and singing in unison.
On Bracken’s first drive, the Warriors took 4 plays to score with Forgione toting the ball for 71 yards on the drive with one play covering 58 yards to help relieve the pressure.
More of the same on Bracken’s next possession when Brady Beene sauntered in from 10 yards out to finish the 52 yard drive and increase the Warriors lead to, 24-0.
From there, BCS, hit some rough edges as penalties helped in having some promising drives to stall.
Temple then opened their second half with 49 yard drive on 9 plays to get on the board. Alternating with 4 passes and 5 running plays kept the Warriors guessing wrong and giving up that first score.
Day got better as the day turned to night and was 35 yards of the 45 yards totaled in the next drive.
Forgione intercepted a Temple pass on the next series of downs and BCS took 6 plays to score when Beene found De Leon for a 7 yard pass helping Bracken to enjoy their largest lead of the night, 38-6.
Do a little math and you will see how important having Navarro on your team.
The 8 touchdowns resulted in 14 extra points that in the past 4 years being successful on the pat has not been a given.
Temple Holy Trinity was 0fer on their point after attempts and those 14 points might not mean much in a game like this, but for future reference, those points will be gold when you are playing teams that every point is important.
With 4:00 minutes left in the game was when Day decided to turn out the lights on Temple when he scampered 74 yards for the, 54-18 score deep in the fourth quarter.
Bracken did a lot of things well for this first game of the season and now will see if they can continue to grow and mature as a team.
“We came out like we wanted to and did not run a whole lot of plays,” Coach Stredic closed. “We stayed in a tight offense for much of the game and played them straight up.”
The Warriors district is one of the toughest in the state and each game will be a test tube experiment on how to proceed with your goals in tact.
The music was nice on this night as the crescendo matched the anticipation as another year has started and knowing how this piece of music will end is anybodies guess at this point, but for this night it was music to the ears!
Go Warriors!!
