Bracken Christian Warriors have all their ducks in a row as TAPPS has realigned BCS into a new district and this year’s schedule has been set.

“Four of the top six teams will be coming from our district,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “OLH has everyone coming back and Castle Hills was the Division II State Champ last season.”

Bracken has been playing these past few years with 12-14 players on the sideline when other same division schools might have over 20 suited up and not playing.

Those type of numbers in 6-Man will always give the advantage to the larger school.

With the storm of waiting for Re-Alignment comes lightning for coaches as they have to be ahead of the game in putting their schedule together.

Many times a non-district game can become a district game based on what the UIL in moving schools to different locations and partners.

Head Coach Charlie Drum has been burning the midnight oil since Sunday as he waited for the curtain to fall and find out who his new friends will be.

“Our degree of difficulty did not change much,” Coach Drum said when assessing new and departing teams in District 14-AAAA. “We traded two playoff teams for two playoff teams so our district did not change much.”

Wimberley and Navarro was lost while Liberty Hill and Taylor were added from their district to the north.

Canyon Lake has Scoreboard on Wimberley

Canyon Lake’s All-District Selections

The Hawks have put their finishing touches to a season that started out with a lot of angst and ended up rivaling their best playoff season in three years when Canyon Lake went two games deep into the playoffs.

There is certainly a lot of work that goes into a year that starts out with the heat of Summer to finally end with cold temperatures in November.

Canyon Lake installed a new offense this season and with that construction started the year riding a six game losing streak before a win against Bandera that certainly righted a ship and moved this team to a third place finish in District 27-3A.

This year had three wins that will certainly go down in the books as classics.

Mountain Valley Middle School 8th Grade is just one year away from walking down Canyon Lake High

School halls and below, The ReSporter, has compiled the stats on a limited number of games this that were played at home.

The total stats will have both 8th Grade team’s combined numbers.

MVMS doubled their yardage over the competition and by looking at those players you will see that having running backs for next season will not be a problem.

Rushing was dominant as the Hawks almost tripled the yardage of their opponent.

Just like the 7th Grade, MVMS 8th grade team won the offensive battle, but  it was their defense that might be even more impressive as many of these same players below doubled on the defensive side of the ball.

play a tribute to this group of players.

Canyon Lake will be well represented in the next few years as MVMS will be feeding two teams the 7th and 8th Grades into high school and that will certainly give the Hawks a chance to improve as these teams finish their eligibility at Mountain Valley.

Mountain Valley doubled yardage gained against their opponents and looking at the players average yards per run gives you an idea of how dominant this team performed.

The stats below were compiled based on home games this season for both A and B squads.

Matt Magness holds CL record for most touchdowns receiving

The ReSporter was bored during the Christmas Break and studied all of the scores since competition started and recorded those students with longest touchdowns by receiving and rushing.

There are a few players that most fans will remember after seeing this list and will help you put those scores in perspective.

First item The ReSporter noted was how unique a player Doug Hubnik was for the Hawks.

Hubnik while playing for CL scored several ways.
Interception Return against Luling during the 2011.
Kick-off return against Luling during that same game.
Receiving several times during his two year offensive career.
Rushing while being a QB during the La Grange game in 2011.

 Daniel Forgione     Running Back

Coach Lloyd Fields fielded his thoughts on each player:

Jeff Camp: “We knew nothing about Jeff back in August when we got out our pads and he was big for us and our

Sam Hilgendorf First Team Defensive Back

program.”

John Colby: “John did a great job at linebacker as he had to replace an all everything player (Eli Achilles), he stepped into the job and handled it well.”

Davis Scott: “This was Davis’ third year and he was the ultimate team player as he changed positions five times and never complained…he did whatever was asked of him.”

Noah Boriack: “Boriack was our offense…these are units and this was the best offensive line we have had at BCS in the past six years…but Noah was a warrior and gave his all for the team. He could of been a first team defensive player for us, but he was too valuable for us on offense to play defense enough to get that award.”

Preston Koch: “Preston had a good career at Bracken and was the only starter that played on our State Championship Team three years ago from this group of Seniors.”

Coy Zunker Second Team Defensive Back

Sam Hilgendorf: “He was a competitor and team was always first and me second. Sam was the kind of guy you had to have to have a successful football team.”

Coy Zunker: “He would of made first team if it were not for his injury. Coy helped and played with a bad knee after the start of the year.”

Daniel Forgione: “Daniel is a guy who will get better and better, this year was his starting point.”

Mason Anthony: “Mason came in last year after losing several players to injury and he was a trooper when we needed him.”

Hawks taking in their Win over Pleasanton in first round of playoffs

The ReSporter would like to take a look at this past football campaign as well as gazing into the future and into next season.

Canyon Lake matched the 2010 team when that club also climbed into the second round of playoff games.

Both years had a Hawk team needing to find themselves as each season they were coming into a district race with a losing record.

Both teams also lost their first district game, it was even worse for this year’s squad, as the Hawks went into District 27-3A games winless.

Canyon Lake had installed a new offense this year and there were some growing pains as the year advanced and with each loss there would be more questions.
