Peter Corey, Eli Achilles, and Kevin Knapick stop another Jaguar

The clash of the two 15 game winning streaks was over with just eleven seconds into the game as the Bracken Christian Warriors were business as usual against Houston Emery-Weiner Jaguars at Warrior stadium last Saturday.

The eleven seconds is how long it took Grady Achilles to run back the kick off without being touched. The 62 yard run for intense and purposes had the visitors loading the bus for their drive back to Houston early.

The E-W Jaguars did mount a decent drive to the mid field stripe on their next possession, but a failed run on fourth down allowed the Warriors to do what they do best…taking a business class on how to sell jaguars and Score.

One of four acrobatic catches from Receiver Quinn Pike

The Canyon Lake Hawks are 2-0 for the first time in the history of the school and La Vernia did not have the Hawks as a homecoming game.

The stars were bright and gave the radiance for what could be a special year, in the 34-23 victory over the La Vernia Bears last Friday night at Bear stadium.

Two years ago, the Bears were doing what all opponents were doing and planning their homecoming dance at the expense of Canyon Lake. The problem? The Hawks were never invited to the party.

Gifts are the order of the day when Christmas comes around each year. The Canyon Lake Freshman team acted out the Santa character as they handed out plenty of gifts to the Bears from La Vernia last Thursday night at Hawk stadium.

The Hawks evened the score in the second quarter with a 32 yard drive at the end of the second quarter. The score, with twelve seconds remaining in the quarter gave the team hope going into the second stanza.

Shane Relkin started the drive on a 13 yard run setting the offense on the 19 yard line. After a five yard loss CL was looking at a third and 15 yard challenge.

Cole Kelly answered with a 14 yard reception from Skyler Tschoepe, needing only one yard for the first. Tschoepe responded with a QB sneak on the seven yard line.

Running Back Karl Weidner gets yardage on first scoring drive.

The Canyon Lake Hawks Junior Varsity improved their record to 2-0 after making the game much more entertaining than the fans were wanting. The Hawks held on for a 18-14 victory in their first home game. The balanced attack of the Hawks kept the visiting Bears guessing all night long.

On CL’s second possession the Hawks drove 64 yards on just five plays. The drive had three runs from Karl Weidner for 18 yards. The runs set up two pass plays to Isaiah Gutierrez for 46 yards and the first score.

The next Canyon Lake drive finished on the Bear’s six yard line, but the home team could not capitalize on the Bear’s fumble on their 35 yard line. The red zone was not good to the Hawks with an incomplete pass from the six yard line went awry.

Head Coach Matt Monzingo

This time last week the two coaching staffs from Canyon Lake and Blanco had something in common. They were both preparing to play a team that had not played a game yet.

This week the CL Coaches are preparing to play a team that has not played a game yet. Last week La Vernia had a bye week while almost every other team in the State of Texas were starting their seasons.

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

The Bracken Warriors will be playing there second game of the season on a Saturday this week and the opponent has a winning streak of 15, the same as Warriors.

Emery-Weiner is a different type of school, in that, they have a lot of students…but they prefer to play 6-man football instead of 11-man. The result of that decision means the Houston school does not get to participate in any of the districts because there size would give them an unfair advantage.

“They are huge,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “There number 25 reminds me of Marshall Walker from Kerrville OLH team.”

Bracken Christian might have just played an opponent they might meet again

Senior Kicker Kevin Knapick gets to the point after another BCS toucdown

in the playoffs in the next couple of months. The depth and conditioning finally gave the Warriors the separation needed for a hard fought win at the Warrior Field last Friday night.

Bracken amassed the most yards in the short history of the school with 583 total yards. The rushing and passing totals ranked second in both categories and by looking at the outcome, every yard was needed.

BCS entered the fourth quarter with a slim four point lead as the Knights had closed the halftime deficit by eight points. (more…)

A Weekly Article by First Year Official Johnny Ivie

Greatness!!!

One of the greatest things about me being out on the field as an official is that I get to relive some of the past feelings, emotions, and memories of my own past football career.  I love the feel of it!  The smell of it! The way the ball bounces, the blow of the whistle, and the sound of pads hitting together.  It takes me back to so many thoughts and experiences as a player.  Man I love this game!

I get a chance to play, ah excuse me, officiate football and make all of this become some of the greatest times I have ever had on the football field.  One thing that I had forgotten is how it feels to be a part of a team.  I see out on the field, young men working together to put together all the plans they have been working on throughout the weeks practices, how they listen to their coaches, and the way they lead one another through difficult situations on the field.
