It has been a year since the ‘Running’ of the (Bulls) Panthers at Canyon Lake field. The result was over 80 plays run by the visitors from Navarro.

The Time Of Possession (TOP) was not a stat that was kept for the game, but conventional wisdom would tell you that Navarro controlled the clock to the extent that the Panthers were walking off the field with Big Bend on their back and enjoying every stride.

Bracken Christian will have a 99.9% chance of winning their game against the San Antonio Lutheran Mustangs this Friday night.

The Mustangs are not a football juggernaut and have presently won three games in a row. Don’t let those numbers fool you however…there is a chasm as large as the Grand Canyon between five to six teams and the rest of Division 1 TAPPS schools.

The Bracken Christian Warriors are in some rarefied air this year. The main ranking system for 6-Man football has the Warriors, Sixth in the State of Texas.

There are eight different division of teams in Texas and if you put all of the teams in one pot you will have 253 teams playing six-man football.

The other five teams ahead of Bracken Christian are UIL teams, who usually have permanent residences at the top of the heap. The Warriors ranking is one of the highest rankings of any private school in the past few years.

Canyon Lake had their worst offensive game last season in Sealy. The Hawks only totaled  65 total yards and no other CL team in the last three years have had a game as anemic than that night.

The offensive and defensive line controlled the trenches for Sealy and finished the game for a 33-6 victory.

“We are better mentally,” Head Coach Matt Monzingo said. “The players have put more sweat and have a bigger investment in this season.”

Head Coach Nicole Creek with her two daughters

The CLHS Volleyball team will start the District games this Friday     and The ReSporter wants to see where Coach Nicole Creek is with the team for the game this Friday at the Hawk gym.

ReSporter: How do you plan to see the team that swept Llano after the first game was played?

Coach Creek: “I hope that the girls see for themselves that they have to jump up early on teams, especially at home and have energy and enthusiasm from the beginning. I think they see this now.”

Head Coach Lloyd Fields has won 35 of the 45 total number of wins at Bracken Christian. To say Fields has some football wisdom would be an understatement.

The Warriors have been dealing with a schedule the past few years that has started and ended tough, but the middle part usually does not present as much of a challenge.

Coaches have to use all of their motivational techniques to keep the team sharp, so they won’t forget how to compete for the end of the year and then into the playoffs.

This time last week the two coaching staffs from Canyon Lake and Blanco had something in common. They were both preparing to play a team that had not played a game yet.

This week the CL Coaches are preparing to play a team that has not played a game yet. Last week La Vernia had a bye week while almost every other team in the State of Texas were starting their seasons.

The Bracken Warriors will be playing there second game of the season on a Saturday this week and the opponent has a winning streak of 15, the same as Warriors.

Emery-Weiner is a different type of school, in that, they have a lot of students…but they prefer to play 6-man football instead of 11-man. The result of that decision means the Houston school does not get to participate in any of the districts because there size would give them an unfair advantage.

“They are huge,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “There number 25 reminds me of Marshall Walker from Kerrville OLH team.”

Coach Trent Dunavant

The season is at the doorstep and the ReSporter caught up with Coach Trent Dunavant for some more ammo.

Coach Dunavant is the Junior Varsity Head Coach while also helping the Varsity as the Receivers and responsibilities in the Special Team area.

The JV finished on a roll last year and Coach Dunavant let us know how the players would handle the step up.

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.”
