Doug Hubnik is Honored with All-Round Athlete for 2012-13

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

All Around Boy’s Athlete was announced at the Spring Sports Banquet last Wednesday

Senior Football/Basketball/Track Doug Hubnik

night and The ReSporter did not find it as a shock when that student was announced.

First off, an award with a name that says All-Round would tell you that the person probably plays more than one sport.

The next thing to take in from that criteria would be, does he have to be the best in each of those fields.

The ReSporter is guessing the answer to that question is no, but you would think that they would be near the top with each game they were playing.

Other items that would go with an award like this goes with things that are not seen by an average fan.

Never late for practice and how they handle themselves around the team and coaches when Mr. or Mrs. Public is not watching.

Senior Doug Hubnik nabbed this accolade as he graciously sauntered down from the stands. But sauntering down is certainly not how he played.

Football—Basketball—Track and Field was those three arenas that Hubnik made his second home these past four years and since The ReSporter likes to expound stats for sports, then get ready to digest some tasty numbers.

Hubnik played defensive back for CL Varsity for three years and had an interception for a touchdown two years ago.

On special teams he had the first touchdown by running back a kick-off in that same game with Luling that his interception return was performed.

Offenively, Hubnik was a go to guy for QB Branson Belcher and finished his career as one of the Hawks all time best.

Bracken Football: Spring Practice Report

Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

Bracken started their Spring Practice this past Monday when 14 players showed up to impress

Bracken Christian Warriors in first practice.

Coach Lloyd Fields (55-8) as next year’s edition readies for another chance to reach the post season.

Reaching the playoffs has been a staple each season, but that first year had a 1-9 slate during that inaugural 2006 campaign.

Bracken has won at least 9 games since that first year and are presently on a four year 10 or more win season streak.

Will that streak continue? That is what the Coaches will be discerning as this week’s Spring practice heats up.

Head Coach Fields commented after leaving the field after practice, “I thought it (practice) was pretty good. Our defense was good and our tight offense was good.”

“Our spread offense is a work in progress,” Coach Fields continued. “That offense will be a trial and error thing, but I’m happy with the defense.”

This season will be a different type of team as the Warriors will be more of up the middle and bowl them over type of club.

The ReSporter Needs its Ads to Keep ADding Up!!

Saturday, May 11th, 2013

The ReSporter is now in its fourth year of covering Canyon Lake and Bracken Christian schools. The ReSporter has just finished it’s 1,043rd article and has also had 62,039 visits and 162,238 pages read as of February 5, 2014 stats.

As you know, this site is free for those who would like to frequent these pages after a sporting event. The ReSporter would like to introduce you to a new ‘Ad’ that was added about 10 days ago.

First off, do know that many of the advertisers on this site services The ReSporter’s household and there is a great deal of comfort in knowing that these Companies and people would treat you as well as I am treated by their services.

The ReSporter needs the audience that relies on this coverage to help out by telling these companies/people that you saw their ‘Ad’ on this site.

That way The ReSporter can keep up this coverage as the fall season looms right around the corner.

The money that is raised through our Advertisers goes to gas money, cost for maintenance for this site, and hopefully enough to put away for just cost of living increases.

If this is not realized, then there is a chance that The ReSporter might close shop before the start of next school year.

Just making it known that letting the Advertisers know that they are seen on this site will certainly help with getting, by word of mouth, other companies to also think about advertising with The ReSporter.

perspectives.

1. The all-time student athlete in that sport from a performance stand point. Do note that this would be just an opinion from the ReSporter Staff.

2. A spotlight player that The ReSporter thinks will be the athlete to watch as this next year will unfold.

Food That Might Need a Firefighter

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

Jerry Besselman has been a face that many fans have seen at any Hawk Sporting event that would involve refreshing your tastes.

The ReSporter went on a search to find someone that might have been to more games and events that wasn’t a player or Coach. Besselman fit that bill as the man behind the counter where you will find liquids or food to keep that Hawk fan strong enough to end the game and yelling on their Hawk team flavor of that event.

The ReSporter had an opportunity to get with Besselman at the end of a Hawk Softball game for a formal introduction to you the fan.

The ReSporter: Hey Jerry are you having fun?

Jerry Besselman: “Yes, I get to be around students and they all know my name.”

The ReSporter: Do they know you as Jerry or Besselman?

Jerry Besselman: “There was a time when Coach Nicole Creek needed to get a hold of me to change a time of a game or something like that and she was wanting to look up my phone number. She could not find me because she knew me by my first name. So yes, I’m thinking most of the students and teachers just know me by my first name.”

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Lloyd Fields

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Bracken Christian will be starting their Spring Practice next week as the Warriors will soon have something that might be different, with no Achilles on the field for the first time in five years.

But that is ok, since the brains of BCS football powerhouse really belongs to Head Coach Lloyd Fields as he will also enter his sixth year at the helm of Bracken Football.

The ReSporter woke Coach Fields from his slumber the other day to get his take on next week’s spring work outs.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach next week is the start of spring practice, what are your expectations this season?

Coach Fields: “We will start next Monday and this will be one of our shortest spring practices as we will only be on the field for five days. But I feel we can get a lot done and try to find out how we might be able to compete next season.”

The ReSporter: Let’s break down your team with the defense first.

Coach Fields: “For the last two years we have been running our defense on auto pilot, I had players that had a good grasp of what we were doing and all we had to do is tweak a thing or two.”

“This year we will be going back to basics and hopefully we can find some players we can count on.”

Hawks Defense Needs to go Back to the Future

Wednesday, May 8th, 2013

The ReSporter will be running several articles through the month of May on athletes from each sport from two perspectives.

1. The all-time student athlete in that sport from a performance stand point. Do note that this would be just an opinion from the ReSporter Staff.

2. A spotlight player that The ReSporter thinks will be the athlete to watch as this next year will unfold.

This series will start with Fall Sports.

Please also note that The ReSporter does not have an opportunity to see every sport and will not have an article if that is the case.

Certainly comment on the articles and give us your opinion on other students or the ones talked about in each segment.

The ReSporter will only allow positive inputs as this will be the only type of conversation needed.

Football is one sport that will have the most players to pick from, so based on that salvo, The ReSporter Staff will break up this sport in three different areas: offense, defense, and special teams.

Defensively, Canyon Lake had one of their best seasons during the 2009 campaign.

The ReSporter will give Eric Nelson our vote for best defensive player from that season.

Before we expound on Nelson’s exploits, The ReSporter would like to talk about other players that had a say in getting to this plateau.

First off at linebacker you had Bobby Flint who holds the record for most tackles with 435 during his career.

Football: Taking a Look back

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

The ReSporter will be running several articles through the month of May on athletes from each sport

Canyon Lake's Zach Henshaw

from two perspectives.

1. The all-time student athlete in that sport from a performance stand point. Do note that this would be just an opinion from the ReSporter Staff.

2. A spotlight player that The ReSporter thinks will be the athlete to watch as this next year will unfold.

This series will start with Fall Sports.

Please also note that The ReSporter does not have an opportunity to see every sport and will not have an article if that is the case.

Certainly comment on the articles and give us your opinion on other students or the ones talked about in each segment.

The ReSporter will only allow positive inputs as this will be the only type of conversation needed.

Football is one sport that will have the most players to pick from, so based on that salvo, The ReSporter Staff will break up this sport with three different areas: offense, defense, and special teams.

Zach Henshaw would be the pick for this segment of players.

Henshaw will be the first to let you know that he did not get to his goals without God and the offensive line.

So, in giving accolades to Henshaw we will first start with some of those ‘Big Guys’ that helped make his rise to prominence a reality.

Offensive Line Coach Chuck Wallen was quoted a couple of years ago before Henshaw’s senior season:

“The turning point with the offensive line last year (2010 campaign) was when we challenged the team to step it up last season,” Coach Wallen elaborated. “That is when we started believing in each other and the power running game became our identity.”

Wallen continued,”Going into the season last year, we thought the passing game would be our forte….then, we found out we could knock people off the ball.”

The coaches were excited last year as the season started to approach, but this time, the coaches seem to be on a different level with their confidence with this team.

“This is the best we have ever been at this time of the year,” Coach Wallen quipped. “The kids have a grasp and have become coaches on the field. The main core that have been with us a while are real exciting to watch.”

Those words from Coach Wallen morphed into an offensive line that controlled the trenches in many games.
