Bracken Christian stormed Winston with their fifth win and also their fifth mercy game against this Eagle school. BCS ran away with a 53-8 final.

Head Coach Lloyd Fields reached the 50 win hurdle with his stay at Bracken Christian on this night.

It was a complete game for the Warriors as they had their most rushing yards (352) in one half of play.

“We felt this was our second time this year we played very well on both sides of the ball,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields commented. “Our defense took a sabbatical in last week’s game.”

Based on how this school has rushed the ball in the past five, then you will know that this is quite an accomplishment. BCS has won 34 mercy games now with 26 games in a row without being on the losing end.

After a Winston punt on their first series, Bracken was deep in their territory on their two yard line.

A 78 yard run by Eli Achilles and Bracken would not be threatened for the rest of this night.

Canyon Lake had their most complete game to date as they pounded the Bandera Bulldogs last Friday night at Hawk stadium, 42-7.

The Hawks finished this game with 35 unanswered points and a suffocating defense. It was the best defensive game in not giving up yards in CL’s history.

Top 5 Defensive efforts:

    Game        Yards     Year
 1. Bandera     133       2012
 2. Billies     173       2011
 3. Billies     215       2009
 4. Wimberley   219       2009
 5. Ingram      219       2009

“They bought into our non-district schedule,” Head Coach Charley Drum beat. “We still have some things we need to clean up…Penalties and getting our running game into the game earlier.”

This win sets up a battle of unbeaten District 27-3A squads next week in Wimberley.

A slow start was still unavoidable as CL had a 34 yard drive stall on Bandera’s 42 yard line.

Then another stop by the defense and another three play and punt series resulting in another short series of downs. That however would be Canyon Lake’s last punt of the evening.

Bandera had a bad snap on their punt attempt and their player was able to get his kick off for one yard. That play set up CL on the Bulldog’s 39 yard line.

The ReSporter thinks the best word do describe Mountain Valley’s Seventh Grade

Football teams would be ‘Impressive’.

Mountain Valley 7th ‘B’ squad could of beaten Bandera’s ‘A’ team but instead had a chance to play the ‘B’ squad.

After spotting their opponent 12 points, then MV started dominating the rest of this contest.

The Hawk defense allowed 60 yards for Bandera’s first two scores and then clamped down for negative 21 yards for the rest of the game.

With an interception return, when MV was on the Bulldogs eight yard line the return covered 100 yards and what seemed at the time an avalanche against this Hawk team.

Then it happened: QB Triston McPhee went back for a pass and another interception was going to bury them, until Matthew Rhodes had other plans.

While the Bullpup was returning the int. Rhodes not only stopped the run but stole the ball from his arms and promptly ran 65 yards for the Hawks first score.

The Canyon Lake Hawks flew all over the Bandera Bulldogs last Thursday night at

Hawk stadium, 32-14.

Two impressive drives to start this game and a heads up play gave all the momentum needed for a convincing win.

The first drive went for 60 yards on 5 carries with damage being done by Running Back Timothy Romero and a pass and run for Robert Woods.

Romero progressed with a longer run on each of his first three carries. Romero went for six yards, 10 yards, and then a final run of pure speed of 27 yards that capped off an impressive start.

Romero started this year as fullback and was moved to tailback after some injuries. “No one stepped up when they we were asked who wanted to do it (move up), so I just raised my hand and said I will do it. They asked who was the faster guy and when I see daylight I just go for it. But much of my yardage came from the line and everyone was doing their job and I just followed them.”

Canyon Lake was not finished, after holding the Bulldogs to a three and out, the Hawks started their next drive on the 27 yard line.

Six plays later, this Hawk team was in control, driving 73 yards in a way that any Bulldog would of been proud.

The Hawks have made some changes in moving players around to help maximize their product on the field.

One of those changes involved moving Zach Gregory from receiver to offensive line. When asked about the difference of positions, Gregory commented, “It is not as much of a change than I thought, I just have different blocking schemes.”

Gregory continued by talking about how on fire this Hawk team started the game, “We were real pumped up before the game, and we just kept that intensity down on the field…we have a motto, ‘Tougher Team Wins it’.”

It was all about the running game for this drive. Cody Davis chipped in with a six yard run, then Joseph Arredondo converted a third down with more than enough yardage running down the sideline for 33 yards. Romero book ended this drive starting with a 17 yarder and capped it off with another 15 yards.

The ReSporter: You are facing a team this week that lost a player that was a do everything type of player, how do you prepare in a situation like that?

Coach Drum: “They (Bandera) has had an extra week to prepare, they might be unpredictable but they still need the win to still have a chance in the district race.”

The ReSporter: Tell us what you thought about getting back on the winning side of a game this past week?

Coach Drum: “We did some personel changes and asked some Seniors to step it up. We were like a dog backed into the corner and we just needed to get that confidence back.”

The ReSporter: Based on all those learning experiences this team had to start this season, did you see any of those learned lessons in the game last week?
(more…)

The ReSporter: How are you doing?

Coach Fields: “Slightly above average and mellow, actually very mellow.”

The ReSporter: Tell us how your team is doing in preparation for this week’s game?

Coach Fields: “This is probably the best Winston team we have played…We are on the down hill slide for the season.”

The ReSporter: How are your the players doing as they are in the second half of this season?

Coach Fields: “When it (season) is over, it is over and you don’t get another chance, especially for our three seniors. Seniors have the shortest year because there is no more Spring practice and years left to play.”

The ReSporter: How will the end of this season play with just one more home game and now being on a four game road streak?

Coach Fields: “We will even play our first playoff game on the road this season. The only teams that get a home game for the first round is the district champion. So we will be at a neutral site when the playoff season starts. I like playing on the road because there are less distractions for the players.”

Time to have some love for this year’s defense for Canyon Lake.

Right off the bat you will see Linebacker McGuire Johnson that is now having having a Bobby Flint (holds tackle record for CL) type of year with 73 tackles for this season.

That averages out to over 12 a game while Flint averaged 13.7 tackles in the 2010 season.

Another Linebacker, Conner Drum, is averaging nine tackles a game.

Here are the top ten tacklers this season.

                                   Tackles for Loss

 1. McGuire Johnson   73           1. T. J. Gregory 4
 2. Conner Drum       54           2. McGuire Johnson 3
 3. T.J. Gregory      43           2. Conner Drum 3
 4. Trevor Duty       36           2. Jon Cervantes 3
 5. Daniel Camarillo  34
 6. Isaac Pruna       32           Pass Break Ups
 7. Doug Hubnik       31           1. Javier Mendez 5

 BCS 98 Gustine             56    Winston 45 CASA                00

The last time SA The Winston had a longer winning streak than Bracken Christian coming into their annual game this week was never.

Winston is riding a four game winning streak and another win this week would tie their total wins from last season. The Eagles only had one win in district last season and have already passed that total.

By looking at the history of games you will notice that The Winston has not played a full game against BCS yet. All their games have had that ‘Mercy’ moniker placed on them up to this point.

This Eagle team seems to have changed their game plan from the start of this season and now.

Their first games were more passing oriented and now Winston is running like their is no tomorrow.

History: Canyon Lake lead series with Bandera, 2-0.
 2010 Hawks 35 Bandera 06
 2011 Hawks 55 Bandera 33

This Season's Scores:
 Hawks 26 Blanco     21   Bandera 13  George West  27
 Hawks 35 Somerset   54   Bandera 25  Devine       60
 Hawks 13 La Vernia  14   Bandera 26  Llano        39
 Hawks 31 Burnet     37   Bandera 39  Comfort      21
 Hawks 09 La Grange  34   Bandera 34  La Vernia    14
 Hawks 27 Billies    17   Bandera 06  Wimberley    40

Bandera comes into this week’s game without one of their best offensive players.

Quarterback Michael Miller was lost for the year in their win over La Vernia two weeks ago.

Miller was a do everything type of player for this Bulldog team. He might remind Hawk fans of that quarterback (name withheld by Doctors orders) for Boerne last year that became a nightmare for all those sleepless nights as fans waited for this season to start.

Miller still leads District 27-3A in rushing after missing his first game last week against Wimberley. His 735 yards rushing will be hard to replace to say the least.

In fact, Miller accounted for 53% of the Bulldogs offense until his injury.
