Eli Achilles changes uniform colors during game in win over Emery-Weiner, 51-19

After a two hour rain delay, Bracken Christian ran a fever over the Jags from Houston Emery-Weiner last Saturday, 51-19.

With some players coming out after some sickness, time was not offered as a remedy as the Warriors went to work on a rainy afternoon.

Eli Achilles had 26 yards after his first four carries which for most contests would of been a recipe for over 50 yards and two touchdowns. All Achilles had to show for those four carries was sweat and knowing this would be a different opponent.

Emery-Weiner is an independent private school that has enough players to be classified as an 11-man team, but since they play 6-man instead then are relegated to playing without a District to compete in.

Hence, Bracken’s worst fears wear realized when this game went four quarters and a difference of playing styles.

E-W would have a defensive and offensive team. Coaches would be able to teach and instruct what needed to be done before that particular unit would re-enter the game.

Conversely, BCS would look at several of their offensive or defensive players and tell them to stay out on the field simply because they do not have that luxury for substitutions.

After stalling on their first drive, Bracken’s defense, also allowed just one first down before the Jaguars ran out of downs on the Warriors 35 yard line.

The second time was a charm as four more running plays for 23 yards and one pass to Preston Koch for 22 yards payed off for a Bracken lead, 6-0.

With the first quarter coming to a close, BCS had just 49 yards rushing and those 22 yards of passing offense.

The ReSporter: What are you thinking about with your opponent

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Coach Fields: “They (Houston Emery-Weiner) are one of the best 4 and 4 teams I’ve seen, they could have a better record.”

The ReSporter: What will be your plan of attack for this contest?

Coach Fields: “We are going to look at different kids in carrying the ball…probably run our tight offense that is looking pretty good, it is very functional.”

The ReSporter: What are you looking for in that type of offense?

Canyon Lake started on fire as Eduardo Covarrubias and an Offensive Line controlled the early part of this game.

“We came out the first half and did what we wanted to do,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “They just outplayed us in the second half.”

“They are a great football team,” Coach Drum continued. “I told our players that they would have to beat a playoff caliber of team to make the playoffs.”

Seven out of those first eight plays were runs for Covarrubias, as he moved the Hawks from their 30 yard line to the Greyhound’s five.

On Covarrubias last run, an innocuous five yard procedure penalty changed this drive from a second and goal from the five to a first and goal from the 14 yard line.

Three straight incompletions and a promising drive ended with a 32 yard field goal off the foot of Jake Robinson for Canyon Lake.

Canyon Lake’s defense then held Boerne for a field goal try that was wide of the bars and preserving the lead.

The Hawks offense then dominated again by driving for six plays, going 79 yards and a 9-0 lead after the PAT failed.

This drive had Covarrubias with 57 yards rushing on four carries and a 23 yard pass to Matt Andress giving the Hawks a first down on Boerne’s two yard line.

Next play, Sophomore Hayden Dubois scored ending an impressive drive right up the gut on the Greyhounds adding six more points, 9-0 in favor to the Hawks.

Then the unraveling would begin to take it’s toll.

In a wild finish, only fit for Halloween night, the Canyon Lake JV Hawks lost a heartbreaker to Boerne 18-12 as the Greyhounds connected on a game-winning. 8-yard touchdown pass with just one second left to play.

With just under two minutes in the game, Canyon Lake stopped Boerne on a 4th and goal play and took over poised for a long, game-winning drive of their own.

Quarterback Skylar Tschoepe led the Hawks down the field with a variety of passes and scrambles.

However, the drive stalled on the Boerne 45 after Tschoepe was picked off on a long, 4th down pass attempt.

Boerne took over with 25 seconds left and immediately connected on a 30 yard pass play that moved the ball to the Canyon Lake 25. Two plays later they connected on another pass play over the middle for a winning score and one second on the clock.

Mountain Valley 8th Grade Team listens in after 24-16 Victory over Boerne

Mountain Valley 8th grade ‘B’ squad improved their record to 3-0-1 for District as they held off a fast closing Greyhound team at Hawk Stadium on Wednesday night, 24-16.

The game had a lot of fireworks to start this contest.

Boerne started with a fumble on their first play, then Mountain Valley responded with a one play 43 yard run from Jaden Balmos as he went through the Greyhounds like a Knight in a Chess game.

Balmos ended this game with 101 yards, with seven of his 11 carries going for eight yards or further. Pretty impressive for Balmos and a Hawk Offensive Line.

Andrew Neel had am impressive game as he threw a two point conversion to Brandon Courtney, staking a quick, 8-0 lead.

Charlie McIntosh had his second interception in as many games on the Greyhounds next set of downs.

Mountain Valley responded again with a 39 yard drive in seven plays with a Neel to Mason Blackburn 26 yard pass on a fourth down play when the Hawks were needing eight yards for a first down.

Bracken Christian has had just one game with Houston Emery-Weiner, but you can know one thing that is irrefutable about this 6-Man football team.

They will never have to worry about an injury depleting their roster.

E-W has had 11 players catch a ball this season while Bracken has 13 players on their roster.

This Houston team has two practices, one for defense and one for offense.

Bracken hopes no one is sick on any given day so they can have a practice with at least six players for each side of the ball.

Canyon Lake continues their melt down when meeting Wimberley. Whatever the reason, CL

CL's Defense answering the call against Bandera

will have errors in this game along with a team that can exploit a Hawk team repeatedly each season.

This week, Canyon Lake has an early date with Boerne on Thursday with both teams needing a win to enhance their chances of being one of those three teams to make the playoffs.

A loss and then, just like last year, the team that loses will need a lot of help from other teams to have a chance of going on with their season.

It is safe to say that Fredericksburg and Bandera will have another year at the bottom of this district, leaving three playoff spots for four teams.
