Head Coach Lloyd Fields

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.”

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

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.”

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.”

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.
