Bracken Christian in game earlier this year.

Bracken just could not catch up in their game with Living Rock Academy coming up short, 74-70 in this hard fought contest. It was the Warriors first district loss as LRA will go into their next week district contest undefeated.

Possessions would be an important aspect of those little things that will determine if a team will leave with a victory or loss.

Last week, that little thing was Paul Nakalanga winning the bonus kick contest and allowing BCS to win by scoring less touchdowns.

The Battlin’ Billies lived up to their name last night when the Lady Hawks flew into town by clearing the court of feathers in three straight games, 25-20, 25-21, 25-11.

The Hawks could not seem to move the score ahead of the Billies and played each game from behind. At one point in the second game they went ahead by one point off and on, which gave hope that they might pull out a win. However, a win was just not meant to be.

Canyon Lake was all business in their win over the Fredericksburg Billies as the Hawks had more yardage gained in one game in their history winning, 45-25.

The Hawks remain in first place in District 14-4A Division I as they stayed 1/2 game ahead of Taylor after the Ducks beat Boerne, 15-7.

Canyon Lake has had a season with explosive plays this year as those offensive snaps had the Hawks running away from Fredericksburg.

Mountain Valley 7A team have talk after win over Billies

Mountain Valley Middle School took care of Fredericksburg Middle School on Thursday as both the A and B squads scored impressive wins.

Mountain Valley MS ‘B’ Team was first as this game was highlighted on the first driver for the Billies when Jonathan Alvarado almost took the deep snap for the Billies punting unit for a block and setting up the Hawks with a short field.

Needing 32 yards for a score the Hawks took 2 running plays by Tanner Davis. The first run went 31 yards to the Billies one yard line and then Davis finished off what he started darting in from the one for the first score, 8-0.

Caleb Almond was all business in game with Fredericksburg

It did not take long for CLJV to get the rust off after the first quarter and for the next 3 quarters score 38 points against Fredericksburg in a run-a-way win, 38-8.

“They (CL) fought hard and this game was a testament to them as this season has been tough,” Coach Bret Hodges said. “We are proud of them.”

Fredericksburg took the opening kick-off and after taking 5 minutes off the clock after driving 51 yards, the Hawk’s, stopped the Billies’ runner one yard short of a first down on the Canyon Lake’s 4 yard line.

It would take the running Hawks 11 plays to drive 111 yards for their first score. How did Canyon Lake have more yardage than the football field is long was adding up penalty yardage assessed on this drive.

Five different running backs had a chance to advance the ball on the drive and then Connor Rose broke a 33 yard scamper for that first score and, 8-0 lead.

Bracken Christian Kicked the Winston Eagles, 54-52

The Warriors had a battle Friday night as their defense gave up over 500 yards and still pulled off a win in dramatic fashion.

Well, dramatic fashion if you are a fan of a player kicking a football. For the newbies out there, in 6-Man football the point after is worth 2 points and Bracken made that part of their game pay off with this 2-point win.

Paul Nakalanga missed just one bonus kick out of 7 tries and that added up to 12 points and allowed The Winston to have more touchdowns and still losing the game.

Canyon Lake gets signature win over Boerne on Homecoming night winning, 41-38.

If the Hawks can look to a game that will help define this season then Boerne will be that answer as the Greyhounds had been ranked as high 17th in one poll and now with this Hawk victory, CL holds an inside track for a better than 4th place seed in this district race.

That is important as the first round games for the playoffs will have District 14-4A paired up with District 13-4A schools. Which have had as many as three teams in the top 10 this season.

CL last win over a team with a winning record at the end of the season came in their playoff game with Pleasanton 3 years ago and now the Hawks have won a conquest that they will be able to hang their Hat on.

Bracken Christian clamped down on the Crusaders with their 6th win in a row, 40-0.

“I think we played pretty good looking at what we were up against,” Head Coach Hosea Stredic stated. “The officials kept the clock running the entire game and made some calls against us that I still cannot find on the game tape.”

This game was out of character for BCS as they doubled the number of infractions and yardage in this contest compared to what had been accumulated through this season.

SA Atonement did not have any offensive answers in matching the Bracken Warriors Defense after holding the home team with just 16 total yards and one first down.

      Go Hawks

Canyon Lake knows all to well what Eastside Memorial is going through this season by starting over with just enough players to fill one team by this time of their season.

The Hawks might not have suffered player wise as much as EM but one thing is for sure is that many schools were all over CL their first year of competition.
