Here is the skinny….Canyon Lake needs to win this game and get off their losing streak.

Fredericksburg has had a good pre/district record and with that will come confidence.

Quarterback Kyle Grona is the player under center again this season and he is a dual threat for Fredericksburg.

Bracken Christian will be embarking on their second half of the season this coming Saturday and The ReSporter would like to delve into seeing just where this team is in retrospect to previous Warrior teams.

The loss to Austin Hill Country to start this season might have been a blessing in disguise for BCS this season.

The Warriors have responded with a four game winning streak and that loss helped this team to know that they had in no way would win a game just by putting on their uniform.

Austin Hill Country scored 8 points in the first quarter and that has been the last team to put points on the board this season on Bracken’s defense in that quarter.

Josh DeVries having a break out year this season.

What do we know?

It is off week for Canyon Lake and this team is still looking for their first win of the season.

Are the Hawks as bad as their record?

A new offensive scheme would give you an idea that there might be some rough spots in this season. Also, this second half the campaign might also give you an idea of some better results on the gridiron.

We have learned that CL has had those little mistakes throughout this season. Whether it has been a penalty or a broken play at the wrong time, that end result has been heartache more than exuberance.

What we have also learned is Canyon Lake’s defense and special teams have cost more games than this new offense.

The Management for The ReSporter

The carnage started after the opening kick-off as the Mountain Valley 8th Grade A team put a whuppin on the Boerne Greyhounds at Hawk stadium.

A 63 yard 3 play drive to start the game had this Hawk team out of the gate and leaving behind a Greyhound team that looked more like a Brownhound.

Two runs gaining 18 yards from Micah St. John and then a burst right through the middle of an offensive line that controlled Boerne by Ben Fulton and Mountain Valley was putting these Greyhounds on a Bus before they had a chance to enter their race.

“I don’t think I would of had those yards if it wasn’t for my offensive line and (Luke) Justis blocking for me,” Running Back Fulton said.

Defense was also very apparent for MV when they held Boerne to a lofty (-11) yards of total offense in that first half.

Bracken Christian Bagged the Jags on Saturday night in a nail biter, 34-27.

Senior Quarterback Sam Hilgendorf

“This game hinged on three key plays,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields fielded. “The last drive we had showed we have character, we had two tough series near the end of the game on offense and defense, and all of our young man played well.”

This game started with a two play drive from the feet of Running Back Noah Boriack when he had his first run go for 52 yards and helping the Warriors draw first blood.

Boriack would end this game with 5 touchdown runs and that will put him with some pretty good company in BCS lore.

Canyon Lake could not hold the water back as the Bulldogs scored 27 unanswered points, losing 34-7 on a soggy Homecoming night at Hawk Field.

“We have to figure out how to cut out those little things,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We can’t overcome penalties and turnovers and we are lacking in getting big plays.”

These two former district foes from days gone by were still locked into an anyone can win contest well into the third quarter as Burnet just led 13-7 with three minutes left in that quarter.

Then the proverbial dam broke with a rush of passes as Burnet’s Quarterback Derek Kiser passed for 289 yards to finish off the Hawks.

Sometimes a team is just better than what is put out on the field and after this game, the Hawks can safely say this is the case.

Canyon Lake Freshman still making strides while improving with each contest as Burnet came from behind to beat the Hawks, 27-8 last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.

The Hawks scored their first touchdown of this season after Keith Hutson intercepted a pass on Burnet’s first drive of the game.

That interception and 20 yard return from Hutson set up Canyon Lake on Burnet’s 35 yard line.

Then Tyler Shipman took a hand off on the left side of the line for 32 yards and a first down on the 3 yard line. One play later Shipman got the call again for that first taste of scoring this year.
