Fredericksburg could not keep a lead in loss to Canyon Lake, 49-31.

The Hawks upped their series record to 5-2 over the Billies and this game was not your ordinary, by the book, game as CL administered two kick-off run backs which finally broke Fredericksburg into a free fall and a loss.

“They are good,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “We talked about last year’s team and how similar we are…but we will need to finish it.”

On Fredericksburg first drive of the game, the Billies moved from their 40 yard line to CL’s 26 in just three plays when a movement penalty on a first down, had Fredericksburg needing 15 yards for a first.

That little mistake changed up their play calling and after three passes and two incompletions, Jacob Eckhardt was good with a 41 yard field goal with 10:24 left in that first quarter.

Using 13 seconds, Josh DeVries took the Billie kick-off on the press box sideline and with some Houdini like dance moves, DeVries was crossing the goal line and CL would surprise the shocked home crowd, leading 7-3.

Another running clock and another game being played by Mountain Valley’s 8th A squad when they put a hurt on Fredericksburg winning, 46-0.

Mountain Valley’s 8A Victory Run after Win over Fredericksburg

This game would have some more runners with a chance of showing off some of their skills as Connor Rose and Landry Moore both averaged over 12 yards per carry and accounted for four touchdowns.

“We had not played much and this was the first game we could show that we were tough enough,” Rose said.

“I wanted to show that I was true asset,” Moore said with the same resolve as Rose earlier.

Mountain Valley scored on seven of their eight times with the ball.

That one time a score was not a result? The Hawks had just two plays as they were running out the first half clock.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, thanks for taking the time to answer some questions….How many total yards have you thought that would mean the Hawks had a good offensive game?

Head Coach Charley Drum

Coach Drum: “We feel if we can get reach 300 yards or more then we have had a decent outing. If we have 250 yards of rushing then that will give us a good chance for a win.”

The ReSporter: In your game last week you did not reach that goal for total yardage yet you still put a ‘W’ on the record sheet.

Coach Drum: “We did some good things with other parts of our game like our Special Teams and Defense…Cody (Thompson) and Tommy (Clark) both played good games last week….Tommy has been one of our most consistent players and those interceptions were a key to that win.”

Canyon Lake’s JV taking Bandera Bulldogs to the Pound

Canyon Lake reverses last year’s season as they dominated Fredericksburg for another district win, 26-12.

“We kind of do what the defense is going to give us,” Head JV Coach John Barthels said. “Everybody out here likes to play football and with this offense, it can put other team’s defense in bad situations.”

Go back to last year when most of this team’s players were playing as freshman and a good play would be an interception on a two point conversion that would result in two points for Canyon Lake.

Last year this team did not win a game and those two points that were scored would be viewed as a huge play.

Fast forward to this past Thursday when Canyon Lake won their second District 14-4A-I game out of three contests with a chance of finishing first.

The Billies started this game with some degree of authority as they stuffed the Hawk’s running game and preceded to take just four plays for a score.

“That middle linebacker was hauling in with a blitz every time,” Running Back Cody Davis said shaking his head. “It was a tough game and they were fighting but we were also matching them we just fought harder.”

Glimpses of last year would be dancing in the fans head as CLJV would get in that familiar kick-off formation as the receiving team.

They did that a lot last season.

The ReSporter: Hey Coach, it is hard to find information out about teams and we would like to know what type of offense Concordia will run this Friday?

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Coach Fields: “They run a tight pistol and take their snap about five yards behind the center. They are mainly a running team but will pass, but the most of their offense is the run game.”

The ReSporter: What else would be good to know about this team?

Coach Fields: “This team is where Bracken was back in 2006 as this is their first football team at the school. So, they don’t have any Seniors, but we don’t have any Juniors.”

The ReSporter: So, will it be the younger class of players that will make or break this game?

Coach Fields: “No, we still have Seniors and I hope they will be the difference in this game…but our Freshman have had to grow up fast this year….in previous seasons, our Freshman for the most part have stood on the sideline with me. Now they are getting a lot of playing time and starts from this group of players.”

Skyler Tschoepe has first touchdown run in game with Bandera

Canyon Lake got back on track as the Hawks evened their district record after beating Bandera, 37-28.

“That kick-off return switched the momentum in the game tonight,” Head Coach Charley Drum said. “We like to be balanced in every game with our running backs…but we will take our positives and just get better at our tackling for next week.”

It all started after a Bandera touchdown on an interception early in the first quarter.

Cody Thompson taking it all in after a great defensive game against Bandera

Matt Adams then fielded the kick and it seemed as if the Red Sea had parted and Adams was the chosen one to take the ball 89 yards to the end zone and help CL take the lead it would not relinquish, 7-6.

“It was surreal,” Adams said while commenting on what it felt like running through to daylight. “Coach Troy Moses said we would return a kick-off tonight. I just tucked the ball and started running as fast as I could, then I heard the commentator talking as I got to the goal line.”

Think about it, you had Coach ‘Moses’ telling the team a kick-off would be returned and the Bandera players parted like it was the Red Sea.

This win was Biblical in many ways.

Three interceptions matched the total for this year when two of those picks came from players that had been told what to do during halftime adjustments from Coach Bret Hodges.

Bracken has tough game with SA Castle Hills

Bracken Christian is in a survival stage of the season as more players were lost to injury in their loss to SA Castle Hills, 60-13.

The Warriors were matching The Hills during the first part of the game when an apparent touchdown pass was overruled for an interceptions which would have given BCS a touchdown lead during that first quarter.

Castle Hills responded with a one play 79 yard run and from their the Warriors would play catch up.

Bracken would drive again on their next possession and score on a Noah Boriack pass to Freshman Christian DeLeon, which would bring the score to 15-13 deficit.

Boriack started the scoring for BCS when he took his first play from scrimmage for 65 yard run, but there would not be many fireworks for the rest of this game as this Warrior team ran out of ammunition.

Castle Hills has a reason for being the Defending State Champion on this night as they have approximately 29 boys in their high school and this team dressed 19 players which would give them the advantage as Warriors would fall out of the lineup as this game progressed.
