Mountain Valley ‘B’ squad ended up in a stalemate against Burnet Bullpups ‘B’ squad last Thursday in the first game of three at Hawk Stadium.

MV’s first drive would be the best chance for a score for both teams, as this Hawk team drove to the Pups five yard line after running out of downs.

The drive had an incredible pass from QB Jackson Neel to Mason Blackburn for a cool 32 yards. Mountain Valley would have another first down to the four yard line when the dreaded penalty help stop a potential scoring opportunity.

“I was just hoping i would catch the ball,” Blackburn said.

This game was more of a defensive battle, witness the points scored and you get the idea. Mountain Valley had Linebacker Chris Hernandez running from the backfield and also plugging holes defensively.

“I was running by instinct,” Hernandez said while commenting about his running style. “I like to play defense better, because it is easier to remember the plays.”

The ReSporter: How has your practices been going in

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Coach Fields: “We did some tune up at camp this week, but this type of week is not conducive for practice.”

The ReSporter: So how did the players look for that limited time?

Coach Fields: “We looked halfway decent…our conditioning has been hurt, but we are as healthy as we can be.”

The ReSporter: Do you use games like this to work on your depth?

Coach Fields: “Bracken only has 11 players on the team right now, so depth just want happen. We do have a second offense, but that is just moving players to different positions. Brenham Christian only has nine players.”

Burnet Bulldogs JV came out on fire but the only thing missing for this Bulldog team was a Hydrant.

Yes, the final score was in Burnet’s corner, however this JV team for Canyon Lake was without several players due to being moved up to Varsity and this Hawk team also had sick and injured players that helped deplete this team.

No excuses, because by looking at this game you had to come away impressed with what was shown in the trenches for this Hawk team.

The Burnet JV offense came out with three first downs and in their first four plays and you could see that this Bulldog team might of been playing the Hawks, but all they could see were cats.

This is when this Hawk team started stemming the tide and started showing a whole new approach to this game.

“We adjusted our defensive line,” Defensive Coach Brian Hooper started. “So we started slanting to the strong side or to the side they were running.”

“We were hit in the mouth to start this game, but we came out with a defensive line that gave them (Bulldog offense) to big of a gap,” Hooper closed. “They (Hawk defense) responded well.”

One third of Burnet’s rushing yardage was during those first two drives and Canyon Lake responded by shutting that hydrant off.

If this game would of been scheduled for the 2010 season, then this would of been dubbed the game of the Year for TAPPS. Both teams ended up with undefeated State Championship records in Division I and II that season.

The story ends there for Brenham Christian Eagles as graduation took its toll on this smaller classification school and now find themselves losing their only game for this season two weeks ago to Emery-Weiner team in Houston.

Last year Brenham finished with three victories and no playoffs and now find themselves with an injury prone squad that will be dressing only nine players.

ReSporter: Coach Drum, what are your goals as you face a

Head Coach Charley Drum

Coach Drum: “We need to defend the run and pass equally well and play a complete game. Burnet will be a more open offense and so we will need to tackle in space and also being able to open field tackle will be huge.”

ReSporter: What would you consider a good outcome to this Friday’s game?

Coach Drum: “Playing fundamentally sound football in all three phases of the game, offensively, defensively and special teams. Our biggest would be to finish someone off with our offense.
For the defense, we need to stress in making that last stop, especially when the game depends on it.”

ReSporter: Yes, that last drive was important for the outcome being in our favor. Do defenses really get tired before an offense during a game?

Coach Drum: “It depends on what type of a game your playing…if you are playing a no huddle offense or if the offense is subbing more to get different packages.
We need the defense to know that they not only need to focus but that we need twice the focus when the outcome is being decided.”

Story by Coach Lucas Chapman

The Junior Varsity Hawks survived a late charge by the La Vernia Bears Thursday night in La Vernia to win 13-6. The victory moved the Hawks to 3-0 on the season.

After a 0-0 game at the half, Sophomore Skyler Tschoepe put the Hawks on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run on a quarterback sneak with Jared Bruckman adding the PAT. In the fourth quarter, Tschoepe was at it again, connecting on a 5 yard touchdown strike to Wide Receiver Shane Relkin. The score put the Hawks up 13-0 late in the game.

Down two scorea, La Vernia went to the air and scored on a 20 yard pass with just over 30 seconds to play, Tommy Clark stripped the ball after a short completion, and Cody Powell recovered the fumble to seal the victory.

The Canyon Lake defense was stifling all night long, forcing the Bears to go to the air after stuffing the run for most of the game. When the Bears dropped back to pass, the secondary stepped up with several pass break ups and sure tackling in the open field.

The Hawks return home this week to play the Burnet Bulldogs.
