Wednesday, November 5th, 2014Pre/Game: Boerne & Canyon Lake
Wednesday, November 5th, 2014
Robert Woods and the Hawk running game will need to be on for Friday’s game with Boerne
Pre/Game: Boerne at Canyon Lake Friday 7:30 pm November 7th Greyhounds (6-2 & 4-1) Hawks (4-5 & 2-3) Series Record with Boerne is tied 2-2. Series Scores: 2010 Hawks 21 Boerne 07 2011 Hawks 14 Boerne 35 2012 Hawks 16 Boerne 43 2013 Hawks 37 Boerne 28 Scores from this year: Hawks 07 Blanco 35 Boerne 38 Hondo 22 Hawks 43 Smithville 14 Boerne 41 Medina Valley 15 Hawks 38 Marion 06 Boerne 07 Marble Falls 40 Hawks 27 Wimberley 28 Boerne 34 SA Antonian 00 Hawks 14 Lampasas 21 Boerne 21 Sonora 13 Hawks 14 Liberty Hill 19 Boerne 35 Taylor 21 Hawks 37 Bandera 28 Boerne 38 Billies 20 Hawks 49 Billies 31 Boerne 28 Liberty Hill 37 Hawks 31 Taylor 33 Boerne 24 Bandera 15
The records of the two schools for this week’s game would certainly point to Boerne being a favorite to win this game on Friday.
You will have two teams that are offensively on two ends of the spectrum in their philosophy.
Boerne will pass on first, second, and third down and CL Hawks will run on those same three downs.
Both defenses will also be on opposite ends of the spectrum in that the Hawk’s defense only sees a running offense for the year while the Greyhounds are always playing against a passing offense.
The question would be what defense will have the most success on Friday night in order to get a win.
Canyon Lake will need a win to get the second seed in District 14-4A-I and if a loss ensues, then Canyon Lake will have to go to a scoreboard to see if they are a third or fourth seed based on the other district games.
And, there is another scenario where CL would be out of the playoffs. (see Playoff Implications article for clarification)
Canyon Lake faced a passing offense with Bandera earlier this year and seemed to be in good shape in that game.
Gordon the Plumber Supports CL Hawks Football
The difference in Bandera and Boerne passing game would be, passes that Bandera threw were primarily shorter passes to the flats.
Boerne will go more vertical in their passing and that will stretch the defense with bigger chunks of yards as the result.
QB Quinten Dormady will be the rifle arm for Greyhounds as he has thrown 342 passes or an average of 38 a game. Boerne has averaged 22 completions a game with a 14 yard per catch average.
Boerne’s rushing game is an after thought and will mostly be in the hands of Dormady as the main cog in that part of their game.
David Snelling will be Dormady’s main go to guy as he has been the recipient of 70 catches for over 1000 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The Greyhounds have six receivers with double digit catches and those six players start with 182 yards via the pass on up to Snelling’s impressive yardage total.
Eli Davis will be second on the totem pole with 46 receptions and a cool 638 yards.
This offense is much like the running game for Canyon Lake where you pick your poison on who you want to stop and hope you are right more often than not.
Main points for giving Canyon Lake a chance in this contest?
No Turnovers. Whoever has the ball the most will win.
Long….Long….Long drives with touchdowns being a result will put pressure on a passing team.
Taking that time off the clock does not give a passing offense like Boerne enough times to run up a score and get into a rhythm.
In that Liberty Hill game with Boerne, the Panthers had over 450 yards rushing and that took the air out of the ball for Boerne’s passing game.
Canyon Lake will not stop Boerne but getting stops is still important and the more times the defense can pull that off, the better the chance of a win for the Hawks.
So this game really comes down to how well the defense plays and what happens in that turnover tally.
As those two pieces of the puzzle go, so goes who will win this game.
Go Hawks Beat the Greyhounds!!

Football Playoff Implications for Canyon Lake
Tuesday, November 4th, 2014
Hawks searching for that #2 seed just like the defense last week in game with Taylor.
If you have seen what the 14-4A-I standings look like then you certainly can deduce that their are several ways that the seeding could end based on what is happening this Friday.
First off, Liberty Hill has clinched the first seed by winning the district and having a head to head win over Boerne, regardless of what happens in there game with Bandera.
Boerne can clinch the second seed with a win over CL Hawks and that would put that third and fourth spot up for grabs.
A CL Hawk win over Boerne would put the Hawks as the second seed. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill beat Bandera CL Hawks 3-2 Hawks beat Boerne Boerne 3-2 Loss to Hawks. Fredericksburg 2-3 With a win over Taylor Taylor 1-4 Loss to Fredericksburg Bandera 1-4 Loss to Liberty Hill
======================================
A Hawk loss and a Bandera and Taylor loss would have CL Hawks placed in third place. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill win over Bandera. Boerne 4-1 Win over CL Hawks CL Hawks 2-3 Hawks get third place based on earlier win over Billies. Fredericksburg 2-3 Fredericksburg beat Taylor. Bandera 1-4 Loss to Liberty Hill Taylor 1-4 Loss to Fredericksburg.
=======================================
CL Hawks would receive fourth spot based on head to head loss to Taylor last week. Liberty Hill 5-0 Liberty Hill beat Bandera Boerne 4-1 Boerne beat your Hawks Taylor 2-3 Taylor beat Fredericksburg CL Hawks 2-3 Hawks loss to Boerne Fredericksburg 1-4 Fredericksburg loss to Taylor Bandera 1-4 Bandera loss to Liberty Hill
=======================================
A Hawk loss to Boerne and a Bandera/Taylor win over Liberty Hill/Fredericksburg... Liberty Hill 4-1 Loss to Bandera Boerne 4-1 Win over CL Hawks Bandera 2-3 With win over Liberty Hill Taylor 2-3 With win over Fredericksburg CL Hawks 2-3 With loss over Boerne Fredericksburg 1-4 With loss to Taylor
So, are you confused now? Let’s keep this simple and say that CL Hawks still control their destiny with a win over the Greyhounds and that would put them at their highest seeding.
That statement is important as it would pit CL Hawks against a third seed in the competing district.
If Canyon Lake loses and Taylor and Bandera both win then your Hawks are thrown back four years ago when they lost out on the playoff picture when they possessed an 8-2 record.
Texas Country RV supports CL Hawks Football
Taylor can certainly win their game with Fredericksburg, but one thing has been proven by Taylor so far this year is that this team is not the same group the Hawks faced when playing on the road.
But, that Duck team that beat your Hawks last week did not look like a team getting their first win.
Bandera gets Liberty Hill at home and that is the good news. The bad news for the Bulldogs is that Liberty Hill’s offense is the same one that the Hawks scored 37 points on.
The ReSporter feels a win over Boerne is more likely than people think.
Reduce the turnovers and Canyon Lake can win this game with an offense that can chew up the clock and keep the Greyhound’s passing offense off the field.
Think back in the days when the Hawks played Navarro and your Hawks were a passing team. The pressure of having to score each time with the ball was paramount based on how those Panther teams could get the ball anywhere and score and drain the clock.
Liberty Hill rushed for 443 yards against Boerne and the Greyhounds only had 33 plays to run versus 80 plays for the Panthers.
Both teams were even on the turnover game with two a piece.
Pretty simple. Canyon Lake can win this game and that will make that mess above in this article much easier to understand.
Go Hawks beat the Greyhounds!!

BCS Loses Tough Game to OLH, 76-73
Sunday, November 2nd, 2014
Jeff Camp continues to need more ink for writing down his receiving records for this year.
Bracken Christian lost a shoot-out with Kerrville OLH on Friday night when the Hawks kicked a field goal with no time left on the clock, 76-73.
“This game hurt as bad as the Abilene Christian game three years ago and that game cost us from taking a trip to State,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We have been playing with a short stick…but these players are playing with a lot of heart and you just can’t expect these Freshman and Sophomores to play like Juniors.”
One of those Freshman is Cristian DeLeon who finished with 102 yards receiving giving Bracken two receivers with over 100 yards for the game.
“DeLeon, honestly could very well be the best receiver in Bracken’s history when he finishes,” Jeff Camp said after covering 202 yards of receiving in this game. “He (DeLeon) made some clutch catches in this game.”
Another ‘Young’ player that is playing out of his shoes is QB Brady Beene who also had over 100 yards passing with just one pass that fell incomplete. Beene had been an important part of this machinery as he has responded defensively and offensively for Bracken.
Both teams combined for 1,123 yards of offense and the last 34 yard pass play by OLH was a thing of beauty and a beast for Bracken as that play led to their loss.
With less than 10 seconds left on the clock a well defended pass play for Bracken had the Hawk’s receiver jump up into the air and tip the ball to himself as he was falling to the ground with just over three seconds left on the clock.
That next play was the field goal that just made it through the lunging Noah Boriack for what would be a typical, BCS vs. OLH football affair.
Two quarters in this game had 50 and 55 points scored in them as Bracken Christian had to go through the valley to get more bulbs from HEB to keep up with this scoring contest.
There were several records that will go down in the Warriors annals as Jeff Camp and Noah Boriack went crazy with a few other Warriors that came along for the ride.
The 645 yards has only been topped one time when Bracken played Gustine two years ago in their 98 point win.
This brawl had 349 yards passing for Bracken which beat the previous best by 171 yards and Camp ran away with several records with his receiving.
New Records Previous High Player Camp's Fire Touchdowns for Game 3 Cristian DeLeon 8 Yardage 138 Jeff Camp 202 Number of caught passes 9 Grant Granato 12 =============================================== Touchdowns for Career 21 Grant Granato 23 Yardage 1276 Grant Granato 1071 Number of caught passes 87 Grant Granato 53 =============================================== Team Passing Stats Top Five Yardage Game Year 349 Kerrville OLH 2014 210 Austin Hill Country 2014 180 Concordia 2014 165 CASA 2014 161 Gustine 2012
Kerrville OLH will not go down as Mr. Congenial, as this team topped more yardage in penalties then what Bracken had faced in their previous eight football games combined.
For the year, Bracken’s opponents had run up 116 yards of penalties and OLH passéd that total by themselves when they left the field with 125 yards of flags being thrown to the ground.
“Overall they weren’t nasty but the penalties kinda speak for themselves,” Defensive End and Receiver Camp said holding a yellow napkin to his nose.
The game started with Bracken holding OLH to two three and punt series. No yardage gained, two fumbles, and three incomplete passes.
Bracken responded with two touchdown drives with that first drive being their longest drive of the evening when they ran 11 plays and 63 yards.
Sophomore Brady Beane is a solid player on both sides of the ball this year for Bracken.
Boriack had a 28 yard run in the series with this drive capped off when QB Brady Beene passed to Camp and drawing first blood.
A key play was a Boriack nine yard pass play to Zack Fasenmeyer for a first down down to the Hawk’s three yard line.
The Warriors would respond with a three play 34 yard drive next when another pass play to Camp found the end zone and a quick, 13-0 lead.
OLH held Bracken in-between two touchdowns to take their first lead of this contest, 14-13.
Then this game became a lights out scoring for the remainder of this first half.
The lead change seven times in the eight minute span as the crowd had to be taken to the medics to have neck braces as they watched this game like they were at the US Open Tennis matches.
“We knew that this game would be a shoot out but I did not think it would be like this,” Boriack said. “Our offense just needs to make better plays.”
Both teams continued their back and forth scoring spree when BCS had a would be touchdown missed by a fumble on the one yard line to stop a chance of putting some distance between the two teams.
Another mistake off an interception for OLH would also give the Hawks a lead and putting Bracken in a catch up mode as this game was coming to a close.
That interception ended up being a two touchdown swing as OLH would score after the pass play and consequently keeping Bracken from tacking on more points.
BCS took their final lead with just 50 seconds left on the clock when a Beene pass to Camp would tie the score and a Boriack run tacked on that important one point lead, 73-72.
“We did not fold,” Boriack said passing the ball. “When we needed guys to step up they did and the younger players did what they were told to do, while playing positions they had not played this season.”
That drive would also have DeLeon catching a 40 yard bomb from Boriack to set up that touchdown next play.
With 111 plays in this game, those little mistakes would add up to a field goal that was just missed for a block and a loss.
“This game, we had a chance and it shows that we can hang in there with anyone,” Camp closed. “If we clean up on the little stuff then we can win some games….We will tell the younger players that we can win this next game and that we need to play hard to get this win….If we play like we did against OLH, then we can win.”
Boriack who had 495 yards of total offense, offered up one more pass for the team, “Even though we lost this game….it was a big confidence booster and now everyone knows what they can play up to, especially for the younger players.”
Bracken has just one more regular season game in Cedar Park next week and the good news is that game is in Cedar Park as the Warriors are working on a 11 game road winning streak and that could not have come at a better time.
Go Warriors!!

Hawk’s Missed By Inches in Loss with Taylor, 33-31
Saturday, November 1st, 2014
Haden Lee getting one of his 10 tackles on this night against Taylor
Canyon Lake just missed a chance for a win as their field goal attempt was just short in their loss in Taylor on a Halloween night, 33-31.
This game started like the past two weeks when Josh DeVries fielded the kick-off on the Hawk one yard line and 88 yards later CL was setting up shop at their 11 yard line.
Four plays later, Robert Woods was running the ball into the end-zone from two yards out and a quick lead, 7-0.
Taylor would respond with a 61 yard drive in a five minute span, but a blocked kick would preserve a lead, 7-6.
That blocked extra point would happen two more times on this night as Canyon Lake put pressure on their kicker all night long.
Canyon Lake scored the next 10 points when Mike Thorpe was good from 32 yards out and then after a successful on-side kick, the Hawks would drive 48 yards in just two plays for a, 17-6 lead.
On that first drive, Quarterback Skyler Tschoepe would run the ball four of the 11 plays which would be more runs than he had in the whole game with Fredericksburg last week.
Hayden DuBois had an explosive play for 32 yards, on that drive, which had CL down on Taylor’s 21 yard line.
The door was shut on this drive, by the Duck’s defense, and Canyon Lake settled for a 32 yard field goal.
“They got off of their blocks fast,” Coach Charley Drum said when reacting to how Canyon Lake was not running their usual plays they had success with other clubs this year.
MV Hawks 8A Team Quiets Boerne, 39-6
Friday, October 31st, 2014
Team photo of MV 8A Team after win over Boerne
Mountain Valley Hawks 8th A team averaged over 11 yards per play as they ran away from the Greyhounds, 39-6 on Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.
Of the 34 plays from scrimmage, 16 plays went over 10 yards of real estate as the Greyhounds found out that a Hawk can run like a Roadrunner.
Last year, MV 8A team lost one game and it was against this Boerne club. If the casual fan did not notice, Mountain Valley was still stinging from that game and wanted to make amends.
(Amen)ds were indeed made as the Hawks finished their prayer over Boerne by also saying Amen.
“We needed to win this game tonight,” Jacob Ruff said smoothly.
Ruff was just as ruthless whether he was playing linebacker or running back.
“I like to hit, but I like both sides of the ball equally,” Ruff said like a politician. “But anytime I see a chance to make a hit, then I am going to take my shot.”
Another Hawk that plays like the Tazmanian Devil on both sides of the ball is Trenton Lorett, “This is district and we were going to give it our all.”
But don’t forget that ‘D’, because Mountain Valley only allowed one fluke pass play to go the distance as a tipped ball that could have been intercepted bounced off a Hawk’s hands into a Greyhound that finished the run and scored Boerne’s only touchdown on this night.
MV 8B Hawks Go Hollywood in Win over Boerne, 28-8
Friday, October 31st, 2014Mountain Valley 8B squad regained their dominance over Boerne when they started their day keeping these Greyhounds in their muzzle without a trace of a bark in their, 28-8 win.
Hollywood Taliaferro and Cade Dunavant taking in a victory over Boerne
Defense was the name of this game as Boerne had center snap problems that would just exasperate their offensive rhythm and Mountain Valley would certainly take advantage by clamping down on all the Greyhound’s offense advances.
Scoring with no time on the halftime clock when Quarterback Cade Dunavant found receiver Zack (Hollywood) Taliaferro behind Boerne’s defensive backs for a game clinching touchdown from 37 yards out.
“I did a fade route and Cade (Dunavant) had a good pass but it was on the wrong side but I just looked to the corner of the end zone,” Hollywood Taliaferro said as if he was rehearsing for the lead roll.
“That play helped us to keep our momentum,” Dunavant said. “This was our last home game and we wanted this win.”
Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields
Thursday, October 30th, 2014Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields
The ReSporter: Give us an idea of this week’s game with Kerrville OLH.
Coach Fields: “Both teams are going to score a bunch of points….this series has produced some high scoring affairs and I don’t see this week’s game being any different.”
The ReSporter: Give me an idea about how good OLH is if they were held to just six points in their loss to Fredericksburg Heritage?
Coach Fields: “Their super back was not playing in that game, he was injured, he is #2 and is very good back and can be hard to get to defensively.”
The ReSporter: What else do you know about this player?
Coach Fields: “He is a better passer than runner, but he will make you pay either way.”
The ReSporter: How have your practices been going this week?
