Head Coach Hosea Stredic starts 2nd Year at Bracken

Bracken Christian will be playing their first game against Bastrop Tribal Consolidated this Friday as the Warriors will start their 2nd Decade of competition.

BCS has had a winning season for the past 9 years after taking it on the chin that first year with just one win.

Since that time, the Warriors, have been a force in 6-man and had a State Championship during those first 10 years.

Now, Bracken will have a young club but the good news is many of those players are in their 2nd year and that will be a good sign for good things to come.

BCS will start in a new district and the 6-man community has combined schools as they will only have 2 divisions rather than 3 in the past few years.

Junior Lester Boehm makes his mark in scrimmage with Bears

With rain all week long, the Hawks took the field on Thursday afternoon and found sunshine and a great afternoon for football.

Canyon Lake also closed their exhibition season with La Vernia as the overall picture was positive with the Hawks doing well in several areas with the Sub-Varsity squads while the Hawk Varsity played a great set of plays in this contest.

“I think we came out better as we stepped up our competition while learning a valuable lesson on not putting them away,” Head Coach Charlie Drum started.

After having several plays of scrimmage the two teams had two 12 minute running clock to close the final part of the affair.

The Hawks started their play by dominating both defensively and offensively. With the first 3 Bear possessions being stopped by 2 interceptions and one recovered fumble.

Zack Covington looks for more improvement as  Hawks enter 3rd week

The 2016 CLHS Varsity football season got underway Friday night in the usual August format; HOT! Temperatures to start the game as the field had to be in triple digits and the Texas heat spread across the fruited plains ushered in a long sought after football season to begin anew.

The Smithville Tigers came calling on Friday afternoon into Canyon Lake in the sweltering heat to find about 250 fired up Hawk fans waiting to greet them.

The Hawks met the Tigers last year in the regular season in Smithville and earned a win. The key words there in that sentence was “last year.”

  Go Warriors

Bracken Christian has been going strong for 10 years now as they finished out of the playoffs in just their first year of existence as they have been winning ever since.

Last year the Warriors had a younger team than their first campaign back in 2006 and if a losing record could have been made, that was the year.

That young group of players not only pulled off another winning season, but played well in the playoffs too.

Now, one year later, BCS will have a chance of making more noise as 18 players will be ready for getting the Warriors in the thick of their district and a longer run in those playoffs.

On Friday, Bracken had three other teams in attendance at their stadium as the first scrimmage was in full gear to start the 10th year of Bracken football.

Go CL Hawks

The JV football team had its opening moments for the 2016 seeing eye to eye, meaning the scrimmage in which they started off with this season was played against each other, at least in the beginning.

Smithville fielded a smaller team this season and as it would happen the freshman got first shot at the Tigers on the other side of the field as Fridays scrimmage began in leaving the JV to bash one another up and down the field to start the season.

The Junior Varsity squad is full of Juniors and Sophomores this season, so much so, that there will be a JV Gold team and Green team with each team looking to compete for district title like last year’s JV team accomplished under Coach Bartels.

Brandon Robinson readies himself for another good Hawk Season

By Cory Martelli

The CL freshman football team took the field Friday afternoon against Smithville Tigers in their first ever look at high school football and picked up where they left off last year as a district champs at Mountain Valley Middle School.

The offense as well as the defense seemed to have their starters already figured out as a few players swapped in and out on the first teams during the scrimmage.

The Hawks first string offensive-line appeared to have a consistent work ethic in blocking a well sized Tiger front four as well as down field blocking assignments with their linebackers and secondary.
