Noah Boriack looking for a Freshman receivers, Christian DeLeon and Thomas Johnson

Bracken Christian was in and out of New Braunfels Wildcats so fast that Coach Lloyd Fields made sure that he could get through another week without injuries in the Warriors, 51-0 mercy game against the Cats.

“No starters got injured,” Coach Fields said short and sweet. “This win helped get us to the five wins in the season threshold.”

Freshman receiver Christian De Leon had three touchdowns to go with his four receptions setting a Warrior record for number of TD’s by taking the ball in the air.

The ReSporter could not go back to those first two years of Bracken games, but since that time there has not been a receiver to break what was two TD receptions by several players.

Noah Boriack also had two interception returns for scores which is also a Warrior record and those scores also helped Bracken Christian to get out of town even quicker to avoid a chance for injuries.

Fourteen plays from scrimmage and six touchdowns will give a team a percentage you can have a good night’s rest with.

There were a few touchdowns called back by penalty which would have made that an even higher percentage.

Y4 Custom Homes says Go Bracken Christian from a former 6-Man Football player.

New Braunfels Christian is another team without enough players to give this Cat team the depth needed to spell some players. New Braunfels was a predominantly freshman team lacking in any depth.

That is becoming a similar situation for Bracken and the reason for needing to protect their players.

Making it to the end of the season in tact will indicate how Bracken will be able to play during the playoff season.

The Warriors scored on their very first run when Boriack took the pitch from quarterback Jeff Camp for 50 yards and a quick, 7-0 lead.

Camp was playing quarterback for the first time this season replacing an injured Brady Beene.

Boriack helped Warriors get to 45 points as fast as ‘Usain Bolt’ can use ‘Lightning’, when he intercepted the Wildcats pass on their third play from scrimmage, going untouched for another touchdown before the first minute had gone off the clock.

New Braunfels Christian had their best drive of the night on their next drive when they reached the Warriors’ four yard line before a fumble and squashing any hope of scoring in this contest.

NBC had three first downs in this game and they were all spent on that one drive.

Bracken would take their longest drive of four plays to score when another freshman, Thomas Johnson scored on a 10 yard pass from Boriack.

After an NBC punt, Bracken Christian would squeeze, two more scores, before the end of that first quarter with another Boriack interception return and a pass to De Leon for one of his three touchdown catches.

Joshua Chu (a first year player that is not a freshman) would highlight the next drive with a 24 yard run that helped set up another pass to De Leon for a score and a commanding, 44-0 score.

Coy Zunker who had 12 tackles which is a good percentage based on NBC’s 19 total plays from scrimmage, scored the final touchdown from running 10 yards out and letting Chu finish the wrapping paper on this victory.

Bracken will need to have all hands on deck this coming Friday when Defending TAPPS Division II Champion, San Antonio Castle Hills comes calling to Bracken field.

“Reality will hit us when the State Champions comes next week,” Coach Fields said. “We will need to learn how to finish a game.”

This game will define where Bracken will stand in district as they get ready for that second season.

Important game considering how many players they hope to have when that time of year approaches!!

Go Warriors!!!!

Robert Woods fighting for a first down against Liberty Hill

Canyon Lake keeps getting close to a break out game as Liberty Hill just got by in this Hawk game by the skin of their teeth, winning, 19-14.

The Hawks had just scored on a 17 play 75 yard drive when they recovered an on-side kick for another chance to drive a nail into the Panther cage.

With the ball on the Panther 14 yard line a Skyler Tscheope pass to Evan Schuller went just off his hands on the two yard line leaving Canyon Lake empty handed once again with a tough loss.

“We told them this would be the toughest game on our schedule,” Head Coach Charlie Drum said. “We played well in all three phases of this game and we just challenged them and let them know if they played like that then the wins would come.”

Canyon Lake took the first hit when Liberty Hill drove their opening drive for a touchdown.

A missed on-side kick to start the game had this Panther team setting up shop on their 47 yard line. Liberty Hill converted two fourth and one plays and then from the 29 yard line, quarterback Nick Hernandez took a convoy into the end zone, drawing first blood.

Mountain Valley 8B team lost game with two minutes left in their game after squandering several scoring opportunities, 8-0

Two great opportunities for scores went awry on this Hawk team as the defense played a excellent game with another chance for redemption next week.

MV will travel to Liberty Hill for another chance to make things right blowing some good drives just short of the goal line.

Three good chances that did not pan out and knowing that two would of won this game will be a sore spot until these two teams meet next week.

Mountain Valley 8th A squad was all business as they disposed of an undefeated Liberty Hill team, 19-6 last Thursday night at the Hawk Stadium.

Liberty Hill’s offense was stymied when they did not realize a first down until their last play of the first half while MV was in a prevent defense.

The first half stats can certainly tell the story of how dominant your Hawks were, take a look:

Canyon Lake JV squad is night day different team from last season.

Case and point is watching Liberty Hill jumping up and down after winning a squeaker contest over a team that was lucky to score much less get a win a year ago.

Offensive Lineman Tyler Kidd and Running Back Charlie McIntosh

The ReSporter remembers interviewing Tyler McCleary after a game last season because he scored two points after intercepting a two point conversion try running 100 yards to score those points.

This year, not only is this team winning, but they are playing with such improvement that any game is a winnable affair.

An on-side kick to start the game did give the Hawks a chance to inflict some pain on this Panther team, but that drive did not produce a first down and Liberty Hill was just delayed in having a chance with the ball.

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Head Coach Lloyd Fields

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, was there a difference in this week’s of practices after losing your first game last week?

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Coach Fields: “No difference, this is probably the most unemotional group of players that I have ever had at Bracken…they are very workmanlike. These guys are in survival mold and are just fortunate that they are still playing.”

The ReSporter: You mention the number of players you have, what does that do for the players as they are playing, in many cases, the whole game?

Coach Fields: “There is no middle ground with these players. They are unscathed….their lack of numbers is starting to catch up with then but this is a new era in Bracken as we have many players that are just trying to stay healthy. This is all we got and the younger players are all trying.”

The ReSporter: How are you approaching this week’s game with New Braunfels Christian?

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.

 Longest Runs in BCS History:
 Player            Yards        Year        Game
 Grady Achilles     78          2010        Austin Hill Country
 Eli Achilles       78          2012        Sugar Land Logos
 Eli Achilles       78          2012        SA The Winston
 Noah Boriack       74          2013        San Marcos Hill Country
 Grady Achilles     71          2011        Houston Emery-Weiner
 Noah Boriack       70          2014        Austin Veritas
 Austin Wilkinson   70          2011        New Braunfels Christian

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.

Warriors hold on critical 4th down play in first quarter when Christian De Leon comes in for stop

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.
