Bracken has righted their ship as the Warriors opened with 36 straight points in a win over CASA, 67-21 at Warrior Stadium last Friday night.

“I thought we needed this ball game going into our game with OLH next week,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We had to rethink our philosophy and our grind it out football but this game we were very business like.”

It was homecoming for Bracken Christian and some of those former players saw a familiar offense in this game.

BCS has been a grind it out type of team and on this night the Warriors had three straight drives consisting of one play for a score. For the game, Bracken had four one play drives and one two play drive.

That was a vintage Warrior night for this Homecoming crowd.

The Rams started the game throwing an interception on their third play when Sam Hilgendorf snagged the errant pass that gave BCS a chance to draw first blood.

Hawks take Bulldogs for a walk as this year’s version of CL football won their first game with what you could call a complete game victory in Bandera, 27-6.

“We beat them up physically and that was our plan,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “It is easy to give up when you are 0-6 overall and 0-1 in district, we have learned from what we have done this season…we knew that we would have to come out strong and we played a solid first quarter and we had some big plays.”

Complete Win for the Hawks.

First off, Canyon Lake’s new offense chewed up yardage on the ground with 367 yards at a 7 yard per carry clip.

Second off, Canyon Lake’s defense held Bandera to the lowest yardage total in Hawk history as these Bulldogs never got out of their back yard with just 109 yards of offense.

The Hawk ‘B’ squad started this contest with a whimper as their first four plays accounted for a negative three yards. The game might be a surprise for a club that has been clubbing opponents all year long.

Bandera then marched to the Mountain Valley 9 yard line where the Bulldogs finally ran out of gas.

The nine play drive covering 32 yards would be Bandera’s best drive of the night as these Bulldogs would only amass three more first downs in this game.

“The journey this year from that great comeback win in Blanco to not finishing games where we played 3 quarters here or there, but never a whole game,” Head Junior Varsity Coach Brian Owens stated. “We had to learn how to finish and we did not give up when this season got tough….we are playing with more enthusiasm.’

The Hawks held Bandera to no yards on their first drive which allowed the offense to set up shop and take a quick 8-0 lead. This drive was for 43 yards on 6 carries and a score that would be all CL would need for a win.

A key for this win was a line that dominated the trenches and running backs that shared the ball in running up the score and yardage.

Bracken Christian scored 42 unanswered points in win over New Braunfels Chrisitan.

The Warriors almost doubled Wildcat’s yardage as BCS’s run game just wore down their opponent as this game got into the third quarter.

NB had a 79 yard drive with a touchdown run of 74 yards on their first drive and that would be the ……. last score.

That NB offense only had 139 total yards for the rest of this game or 3 yards per play which is not a first down in four plays in 6-man football.

It is hard to get any momentum when a defense is clamping down on the run or pass with an average of yards that low.

The Warriors stopped this Wildcat offense four times inside their own 20 yard line, in a bend but don’t break mode throughout this ball game.

Bracken Christian’s running game had Preston Koch and Noah Boriack both breaking the century mark as the Warriors averaged right over 9 yards per carry.

Eleven plays of over 10 yards helped in allowing Bracken’s defense to be fresh when they were called upon to stop these Wildcats.

This game was a put together contest that came about after Giddings State School cancelled their game two weeks ago.

Bracken played well on both sides of the ball as Coy Zunker came away with two interceptions and Sam Hilgenforf also with an interception on this night.

Boriack continued to have some tough runs as Bracken only had two runners with 100 yard rushing for the fifth time in their history.

Josh DeVries in game with La Grange

Canyon Lake loses their first District 27-3A contest, 38-14 as the Hawks could not translate their total yards into points.

“They (Fredericksburg) came out ready to play and we didn’t,” Head Coach Charles Drum said. “We got knocked down in the first round tonight, they had 14 points just like that… but we have four more rounds to get in this fight and it is not over.”

“This was just our first district game and we can even our record next week,” Coach Drum said confidently. “This game was the story of our season, we can’t make our 3rd downs and we could not stop their 3rd downs.”

The Hawks out gained the Billies but when you can’t capitalized that aspect of this game, then those numbers don’t mean much.

This game had a slow start as Mountain Valley was 1 for 3 on scoring after acquiring the ball from the Billies.

Two penalties on MV first drive helped in getting a dose of reality and an empty opportunity of taking control of this game early.

To put it simply, Mountain Valley had a Ruff start to this affair.

back on the winning track as they whitewashed the Billies, 22-0 last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium.

The Hawk rushing attack averaged right at 8 yards per carry as Conner Rose and Landry Moore continued to punish Fredericksburg on the ground.

Rose hit the century mark with 117 yards while averaging almost 20 yards per touch. Likewise Moore was also successful needing just 4 yards for a chance to have two runners with 100 yards in one game.

It did not take Mountain Valley long to establish the run as Rose took the ball on the second play from scrimmage and did not finish running until he had crossed the goal line, 51 yards later.
