Senior Running Back scoring on his record breaking day

Canyon Lake woke up from their slumber this season and were able to have more ease in a win over Smithville Tigers, 43-14 at the Lake.

The Hawks had some performances in this game that stood out and made some players look super.

Running Back Josh DeVries had the longest run from scrimmage passing Eduardo Covarrubias 75 yard run against Bandera in 2010. Along with that record, DeVries also had the highest average with a lofty 17.5 yards per carry.

In that same vein, century running tandems in CL’s history, was also topped by 22 yards.

Canyon Lake’s JV team has now won two more games than last year as the Hawks awakened in the second half and inflicting damage on Smithville, without using their offense.

The game was still much in doubt at halftime as both teams struggled to get enough positive plays to counteract some missed snaps and penalties.

“We made too many mistakes and we have some things to work hard on in practice,” Head JV Coach Jon Barthels assessed. “I’m happy with this game, the way we finished in the second half, it sometimes just takes a while to get going.”

Hawk Freshman listening for where their next Gold Rush will take place.

The Canyon Lake Freshman (2-0) team continues to impress as they started a ‘gold’ rush with their win over the Tigers in Smithville Thursday night, 49ers-22.

Luke Justis started the game off with a 43 yard run and the Hawks would not trail in the game as an incentive had been placed in front of this Freshman team.

“We (the team) saw some gold pants in the dressing room and we liked them and asked the coaches if we could wear them,” Justis said. “The coaches said if we scored 50 points then we could wear them.”

By ground or by air, Justis proved he was running for gold as he finished the first half by jumping to snag a pass from Ben Fulton with no time left on the clock.

 Pre/Game: Bracken Warriors vs. CASA Rams      September 5th   5:30pm

 History: Warriors lead 6-0 in a series started in 2008.
 BCS  58   CASA  13
 BCS  64   CASA  19
 BCS  50   CASA  00
 BCS  74   CASA  06
 BCS  53   CASA  00
 BCS  67   CASA  21

 This Season's Games:
 Bracken Warriors 45 Temple Holy Trinity  18      CASA  6 Kerrville OLH  51

The Warriors did not have anyone hurt last week!!!!  Yes, unfortunately that is the biggest statistics for this season’s team with so many players from last year missing and not playing will make this year a game of numbers.

Number of players on their roster, numbers.

That was carried out last week, when Bracken  went on the road to Temple and took care of business playing a team that had enough players to field two teams.

The Temple game had 113 plays which is second on their play list, only behind the Gustine game played two years ago when the Warriors had 127 plays in that 98-56 victory.

Not much is known about CASA, except that they usually don’t field a team that will win many games, as you can note having been beaten by OLH last week, 51-6.

There has yet to be a game played by these two teams that went four quarters. The Warriors have averaged a 61-9.8 score through those years. You can even add up all the points scored by the Rams and it would still not add up to that 61 point average.

Domination has been the name of this series and with the results of last week’s game, BCS might be playing another game not going four quarters and that would be just what the doctor would order.

Once again based on having that injury word not being mentioned on this night and a scoreboard that can be turned off early and the Warriors on their way home.

Bracken will not have a home game for two more weeks, but one stat that will play in favor of this schedule comes with a 30-4 road record.

The Warriors will still need to do their business and get enough reps for many of the Freshman that are starting this year.

Also, just working the cobwebs out of their system, as this year will have more tough teams on the horizon and taking a Friday off would not be the best course of action.

Hopefully, BCS will be able to up that win total to 31 after Friday night.

 Smithville Tigers  @  Canyon Lake Hawks      September 5th 7:30pm

 History: Hawks and Tigers have not played.

 This Season's Games:
 Canyon Lake  7  Blanco  35       Smithville  0   Rockdale    49

The Hawks will try to get a bad taste out of their mouth this week when they take on Smithville.

The Tigers did not have a good start to their season either and with two schools starting on the wrong foot, you will have two teams that will come out with a strong desire to change and get on the winning side of the ledger.

First Smithville, the Tigers were not very good on their opening day as they finished with no points, with no completions in their passing game, and a running game that could only muster two yards per play.

QB Garrett Mathis finished with negative 25 yards which would translate to enough sacks that HEB might be missing their allotment and not giving customers a paper or plastic option.

Running backs, Austin Green, Sean Moyer, Dameon Zepeda and Jake Dawson all finished with 18 to 35 yards rushing. Moyer had the best night of the four, with over five yards per carry.

Smithville’s defense had their problems too, in giving up over 500 yards with the majority of that real estate being gained through the air (414 yds).

When your best weapon is in the form of the punting formation, then you know it was not a good night. The Tigers had a 39 yard average per punt but that really just translated to more yardage that Rockdale could cover on their way for a score.

Canyon Lake is not in a position that they can snicker at those numbers as the Hawks were not much better with their game with Blanco.

Smithville ended with 92 total yards compared to the Hawks 158 yards.

Six of the seven touchdowns scored on Smithville was through the air and if CL can find a passing game, then that might be a way of breaking the Tigers’ for this night.

Rockdale had just 95 yards running which might suggest that Smithville’s best unit would be against the run.

Smithville had just one turnover and that bodes well as this team made their opponent play the whole field with no short scoring drives. Rockdale had just one score that did not cover more than 10 yards on those scoring plays.

Can the Hawks be opportunistic and make some long plays?

Last week the longest play covered 40 yards on a pass play to Evan Schuller with CL’s longest run covering 13 yards.  That run happened on their scoring drive which had Blanco guessing on defense for the only time during the game.

Last year, Canyon Lake started in a similar fashion against Blanco only to break out of their funk with a whale of a game in Somerset.

The big three of McGuire Johnson, Hayden Dubois, and Josh DeVries ran for 199, 79, and 92 yards in that game. That allowed your Hawks to score 35 points and if not for an electrical storm, might have translated into a win.

Momentum was lost in that delay but the simple fact is that Somerset had that same delay. No excuses, but the main point was how much different Canyon Lake looked compared to their opening game just a week earlier.

Canyon Lake needs a win and with the injuries, this game will be huge in establishing a team that can improve as District 14-4A comes a calling next month.

Go Hawks!!

Bracken Christian started another year in familiar territory, a win, as the Warriors took care of

Senior Running Back Noah Boriack had a busy night in Temple

business in beating the Temple Holy Trinity Celtics in Temple last Friday night, 45-18.

“Emotionally we played well but we still had too many mistakes,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields fielded. “I had to keep reminding myself that we were playing three freshman on offense, but we will improve the most this week between our first and second games.

Thomas Johnson, one of those freshman, started at center and contributed with two catches for 29 yards.

“I started pulling the ball down for my runs and start taking off,” Senior Noah Boriack said. “But they (Celtics) would leave him wide open and he just did his job.”

Boriack was also responsible for the first six tackles on defense and then decided to play some offense just to get a good work out.

CL Hawks ready themselves against Blanco

Canyon Lake had a rough time in Blanco Friday night as the Panthers spanked the Hawks into submission by controlling every facet of the game in a resounding 35-7 win.

“They beat us physically,” Head Coach Charles Drum said. “We had played two spread teams in our scrimmages and we met a team that was just more physical than us.”

The Hawks went to Blanco to eat steak but only brought their butter knife, as this game showed that they will need to sharpen their weapons.

“I’m disappointed,” Coach Drum finished. “But this is a long season and we proved last year that we can come back.”

Quarterback Ben Fulton zeroing in on Braden Duke

Canyon Lake’s Freshman class opened with a bang as the Hawks scored 22 points in the first quarter providing more than enough cushion to coast to a win over the visiting Lago Vista Vikings.

CL Freshman busted out like a caged Hawk but could not keep that momentum offensively.

The Defense and Special Teams were a different story as these two units controlled this game from start to finish.

CL gave up just three yards per play for the game while the special teams was successful with two onside kicks and a punt return for a touchdown giving this Viking team looking for the North Star for a way get back home.

If you arrived five minutes late for this party then you were absent for all the festivities as Canyon Lake opened all the presents and had eaten the cake before they would blow out the candles.
