It was the fifth game of the season when Doug Hubnik made history with a four year

Senior Doug Hubnik ready for Season to start

Hubnik scored on a 60 yard interception return and 80 yard kickoff return in the Luling game which was a first time for those type of scores for Canyon Lake.

Hubnik had the most catches from a non-senior last season with six. Those catches went for 95 yards and now the log jam in the receiver corp might allow this senior a chance to make a difference.

“We have a lot of skill players,” Hubnik started. “We will need to play to our skill levels this season.”

When asked how the play of Quarterback Branson Belcher was this first week, “He is playing real good…Branson is throwing real good.”

“We have grown up since our junior varsity year and a lot of us have moved to different positions and that has been our biggest change,” Hubnik said while commenting on how this Senior class might perform this season.

Many times what you hope will happen can get changed and coaches need to reach into

Junior Davis Scott ready for new role

Bracken Christian had that scenario come about when practice started last week. Six-man football is the game of choice for the Warriors simply because the number of boys available to play the sport.

Hence, it does not take many changes in a summer to start the dominoes falling and causing angst among the coaches and team.

The best way to stop the domino effect is by having players that can step into different roles at the drop of a helmet.

Junior Davis Scott will be that player this year as he will change from his Center position to running back. Scott had six carries last season from the Center position and he gained 36 yards.

Scott made his mark on the defensive side gaining All State honors last season as a defensive end.

“I’m a little shocked,” Scott said shockingly. “I am also very excited and I will do whatever the team needs me to do.”

Canyon Lake intrasquad Scrimmage

Quarterback Branson Belcher has won more games than any other quarterback in the history of Canyon Lake Football.

His eight wins last year put him ahead of Ross Wagliardo and Jeff Nabors who won seven and six games respectively in the previous three years.

Now the Hawks prepare for a break out year that hopefully will include that hidden word called, ‘Playoffs’.

The 8-2 season last year was great, but not having a game after the tenth game, left an emptiness for the team and fans.

Senior Quarterback Belcher will now take ownership of a team that has the possibility of eclipsing the eight wins from last year.

Warriors taking break from Practice

Bracken Christian will have a five game district schedule this year and a game of musical chairs has bumped Marble Falls Faith out and Geneva School of Boerne taking their place.

The Flames from Marble Falls made the playoffs the last two seasons, but got no further than the second round, while Boerne Geneva lost in the first round to Brownwood Victory Life 70-44, last season during their 8-3 season.

“The top two teams in district will meet in week one,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields commented. “Boerne Geneva has everyone coming back.”

That will be a common theme this season for some of the schools, or they might have lost a player that had that do everything persona.

Geneva faced two teams that had the opportunity in playing BCS. They finished 1-1 with a loss coming from Kerrville OLH 54-50 and a win against New Braunfels Christian 52-7.

Defensive Back and Kicker Jake Robinson

Canyon Lake had the right man for the job last year when kicking was part of the defensive Back and Kicker Jake Robinson game. Jake Robinson only missed two extra points last season while kicking two field goals for a team that averaged five touchdowns per game.

The offense ran at a high octane level last season and if they have a repeat, then you can count on the extra point to be good.

Robinson was successful on 45 out of 47 tries and those numbers with the two field goals, had Jake with 51 points.

That has this young man in fourth place for career scoring and with another year like 2011 season, Robinson could end his career in second place in points scored for the Hawks.

Sam Hilgendorf returns with more holding on the season

What we do know? BCS has had a great run the past three years which encompassed a State Championship and two final four appearances.

A case can be made that the Warriors were the second best team in both of those losses in the semis, as they played the eventual Champion in both cases and played them much closer than the other bracket winner.

Now The ReSporter would like to look into the crystal ball and see what this year’s edition might do in a two part series breaking down the schedule with non-district games first and then see what the district might have in store this year.

When Bracken took their Summer vacation last May, the district had six games which was the largest in Division 1.
