Wednesday, October 8th, 2014Warriors Could not Defend the Defenders Losing, 60-14 to Veritas
Friday, October 3rd, 2014
Bracken closes in on Austin Veritas
Bracken Christian did not have a defense to stop this Veritas Defenders team and lost in a mercy game, 60-14 last Friday night.
“They (Veritas) were so physical and they just dominated us,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.
BCS has scored less than 14 points only three other times as they tied with four other games with their 14 points scored against Veritas. Bracken has never been shut-out since they started playing 101 games ago.
Bracken is now 44-5 when holding an opponent under 200 yards rushing as Veritas only mustered 92 rushing on this night. However, in that same vein, this Veritas game is now ranked No.1 in yardage given up via the pass. The Defenders were able to put up 333 yards passing on BCS with bomb after bomb in this loss.
On a positive note, the Warriors did show life on offense, albeit too late, when the second half started and Noah Boriack was able to get loose for a 43 and 70 yard touchdown runs. The unfortunate part of that nugget was having just three more plays to take a snap and not being able to capitalize.

Boriack also passed the 1,000 yard barrier for this year in rushing, as now will zero in on a 2,000 yard season.
That total has only been reached three times by Grady Achilles (twice) and Eli Achilles.
Bracken started this night being just short by one yard in getting a first down on the Warriors first drive, when Christian De Leon almost made the first down marker.

That miss allowed Veritas to drive down to the Warrior one yard line and being stopped without a score.
That drive had Coy Zunker and Zack Fasenmeyer both stopping Veritas’ runners for minus four yards on consecutive plays.
After another dry run on their next drive, Bracken punted for just the sixth time this season and Austin Veritas would score with 27 seconds left on that first quarter clock.
Bracken was stopped again after reaching the two yard line and still could not punch it in after Brady Beene was sacked on a third down play.
It took Veritas just two plays to score this time as Snow rumbled on a 69 yard pass play on what would be all the points needed for a win on this night, 16-0.
Jeff Camp was able to catch three passes, but for the most part the passing game went silent after a 32 yard gain for Camp which was 71% of Bracken’s total passing yardage and that is counting eight more passes caught on this night. A silent 1.6 yards per catch to cap off the 45 passing yards.
“We needed better blocking,” Senior Receiver Camp said. “We need to play with more heart…we need to play like man and not little boys….it all goes back to needing to tighten up and find the players that have more heart.”
Bracken started the second half down 24 points and had held the Defenders on their first drive.
The Warriors would respond on a one play, Boriack up the middle, for 70 yard play. This happened on both times Boriack touched the ball in the second half, his other run covered 43 yards and both had him sprinting to the goal line with no resistance.
BCS would have only 5 offensive plays in the third quarter and scoring on two one play drives. A fumble on what would be their last drive would ice the game after that costly mistake.
The miscue that plagued Bracken the most in that second half was allowing Veritas to have success on their on-side-kicks and giving this dangerous team more chances with a chance to score. While keeping Bracken’s offense on the shelf.
That Veritas did to the tune of scoring on five of their final six times with the ball and running away with this game.
Having a good kicking game was another way of tacking on more than enough points to keep this Warrior team without much hope.
In a nut shell, Bracken just did not have enough fire power as Austin Veritas showed up with more than enough players, giving them a huge advantage as this game wore on.
“Playing with 8 guys versus 18 was too much to overcome,” Coach Fields said. “We knew this would happen sooner or later.”
One last little stat, both teams scored 50 points in that third quarter which has only been topped two times previously. The down side was those two other games had the Warriors inflicting most of that damage.

MV 7&8 B Teams Use Paint Remover in Win, 32-6 over Vikings
Friday, October 3rd, 2014Mountain Valley 7th and 8th B squads were combined for a game with Lago Vista to kick-off a three game affair with the Vikings.
“Our kids played hard tonight,” Head Coach Blake Miller quoted. “I am very excited for our kids today to get this win. A number of them stepped up and played well even though the circumstances were not the best.”
This Hawk club was victorious, 32-6 as this game was with a running clock from the opening whistle.
If you add another facet of a Lago Vista coaching staff, waiting to call a play about one per minute, fans would have a good reason to see if paint actually does dry that slowly.
MV Hawks 7A Run Over Lago Vista Vikings, 22-0
Friday, October 3rd, 2014Mountain Valley 7A team sunk Lago Vista Vikings, 22-0 on Thursday night as the defense controlled their game.

The Hawks started the game with a methodical 48 yard drive taking five minutes off the clock and forging to a 8-0 early lead.
This drive was highlighted by a Nick Rivera 26 yard run which set up MV 7A squad on Lago Vista’s 2 yard line.
From there Nelson Madera would score both a touchdown and the extra point run.
The Vikings were not threatening Mountain Valley’s defense as they could only accumulate 13 yards of offense for this game.
In that first half Rivera was a hard luck player as this athlete returned a punt and interception for a touchdown, and both were called back by a penalty.
The punt return happened first when Rivera would run through the Viking players like a pin ball for 51 yards.
MV Hawks 8A, Beat Lago Vista’s Running Clock, 43-0
Friday, October 3rd, 2014
Mountain Valley Coaches discusses with team where the sunken Viking ship went down.
Mountain Valley 8th A squad was all over Lago Vista from the get-go, as their shortest offensive play was an eight yard pass to J.T. Greene, as this Viking team is still trying to find their ship after a blowout, 43-0.
Trenton Lorett, Tristan Chicon, and Jacob Thomas were all ‘smiles’ after beating LV Vikings
A running clock had a better chance of gaining yards on this Hawk defense than this Viking’s offense could muster.
MV was in top form for every facet of this contest, from Special Teams to Offense to Defense, it was all Hawks.
The Vikings average 0.13 yards per carry which would take Lago Vista 76.9230769230769 plays to garner a first down base on that average.
Defensive End Jacob Thomas had one play that he could have taken a handoff, as he was in Lago Vista’s backfield so fast.
“We just went down and dominated them,” Thomas said. “Coaches told us to stay low and we did what they asked.”
Scoring drives were even more impressive. Mountain Valley’s offense had the ball six times and scored on those drives in 10 plays total.

MV 8th ‘A’ Hawks Groundhog Lampasas, 32-6
Tuesday, September 30th, 2014Lampasas 8th A squad thought that they would just fumble instead of punting in their game with Mountain Valley, as the Hawks finished off this Badger team, 32-6 last Thursday night.
Mountain Valley, still feeling the sting from a loss to Wimberley in their previous outing, would take no prisoners as they marched 62 yards on 7 plays when Jacob Ruff finished the first drive from three yards out.
“We weren’t quite ready from our conditioning (from last week’s Texans game),” Head Coach Brandon Pawelek said. “But we did have a better week of practice.”
“Thinking about that loss last week fueled our win today,” Jacob Ruff would surmise.
The Badgers first two drives were stopped by losing the ball via the fumble. Starting on their 24 yard line, the Badgers, marched off 24 yards with the help of a face mask penalty and then fumbled after a 10 yard gain that would have given Lampasas the ball on their 38 yard line with a new set of downs.
MV Hawks 8th B Squad have Scary Win, 8-6 over Badgers
Monday, September 29th, 2014The Mountain Valley Hawks held off Lampasas 8th B squad last Thursday at CLHS.

It took Lampasas a little over four minutes to get on the board by driving 78 yards on 9 plays. What happened next would one reason a win for MV would be attained when this Badger team could not get their extra points by running which kept the score, 6-0.
Both defenses then started controlling the game when in that second quarter, MV would only have to cover 23 yards of real estate after holding the Badgers on a fourth down try.
Running Back Wyatt Meckel would break the goal line on a six yard run with five minutes left in the quarter.
Fumbles Not Key to Success in Loss to Lampasas, 21-14
Sunday, September 28th, 2014Canyon Lake lost another heartbreaker, Friday at the Hawk Field, when the Lampasas Badgers

scored their go ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, winning 21-14.
Mistakes, in the form of fumbles, were the downfall while the Hawk Defense finally could not hold off the Slot-T offense of Lampasas.
“We need to learn how to win in the third and fourth quarter,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We just need to hold onto the football.”
The rain was constant and a contributor in keeping the Hawks from holding onto the ball for the rest of this game. This was the second game in as many weeks that has had over five fumbles, with a final tally of 13 miscues in those games.
Canyon Lake scored first when they drove 11 plays and 79 yards with a steady dose of ‘newcomer’ Tim Romero who was added to the Varsity when Hayden DuBois was held out to heal up for district play.
Pre/Game: Lampasas @ CL Hawks September 26

Hawks will try to hold Badgers for a win this Friday
Pre/Game: Lampasas Badgers @ CL Hawks Friday, March 26 7:30 History: First meeting between CL Hawks and Lampasas Badgers This Season's Results: CL Hawks 07 Blanco 35 Badgers 15 Fredericksburg 22 CL Hawks 43 Smithville 14 Badgers 24 Lago Vista 17 CL Hawks 38 Marion 06 Badgers 46 Austin Reagan 07 CL Hawks 27 Wimberley 28 Badgers 20 Lorena 18
Canyon Lake will play a Lampasas team that is presently on a three game winning streak while the Hawks are coming off a last second loss to Wimberley.
That main question will be what the mind set of Canyon Lake will be versus a team that seems to be beating teams by wide margins (46-7 over Reagan) and by the skin of their Badger teeth in winning 20-18 over Lorena last week.
In fact, in Lampasas only loss against Fredericksburg, the Badgers tripled the yardage of the Billies in that loss.
