The Bracken Warriors Girls Cross Country team dominated the State meet

Cross Country Coach Jack Roettinger

held in Waco last weekend.

“We had a good pre State season,” Cross Country Coach Jack Roettinger said. “With meets in Hondo, Junction, Comfort, UTSA, and Hope gave us our stepping stones to State.”

“The girls matured through out and UTSA was the meet when they knew they could compete,” Coach Roettinger continued. “They finished fourth out of 13 teams.”

The Warriors finished with a 23 point lead with no Seniors on the squad.

Bracken looks like they might be able to pitch a permanent tent at the Waco course for the next several years.

“The girls have really good training and competitive practices,” Coach Roettinger strolled. “They are real dedicated and have a lot of perseverance.”

The Area round of playoffs was a slow starting game for the Bracken Warriors as they had to come back to win the first game and then cruised to a three game sweep of Dalllas Lakehill Warriors at the Bracken gym on Tuesday night.

“Working out our nerves for the first playoff game…I don’t like the bye,” Head Coach Shaunna Teuton stated. “We did play some warm up games, but the playoffs are different and we needed to have one under our belt.”

BCS could not get any rallies as the team seemed to be playing in quick sand for much of the first game.

“We were just nervous on the first game,” Killer Amanda Morgan said. “We just played the first game as a warm up game and did not take it seriously.”

On the solution, Morgan reiterated, “We will warm up harder for the next game.”

Bracken Christian made a big statement game on Friday night as they beat SA The Winston, 54-0 for the seventh ‘mercy’ game in a row this season at Warrior Stadium.

BCS held the leading rusher in the Nation to 64 yards on 15 carries. The Winston’s Wilkerson had over 400 yards rushing last week and only approached that number as he was walking back to his bus for the ride home.

“We thought we could slow him (RB Wilkerson) down,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said defensively. “We shut him down instead.”

Defense wins Championships and the Warriors proved on this night that they might have a better defense than the Championship season last year.

The Warriors gave up 48 points in their first game of the season and now have given up 38 points in their last seven games total.

Canyon Lake Hawks go back to the drawing board as Boerne turns mistakes into touchdowns, as CL loses second consecutive game this season at Boerne stadium, 35-14.

What started as a nice looking game, suddenly changed in the second half to a Greyhound beating.

The Hawks started the game with another patented drive, as CL drove 80 yards on 11 plays and took the early lead, 7-0 after the Jake Robinson point after attempt.

The drive had a lot of Zach Henshaw, as the Senior running back accounted for 73 of the 80 yards for the first score. Henshaw had 53 yards rushing and 20 yards receiving on the drive.

Canyon Lake had two third down plays and both were within three yards for a first down or touchdown.

BOERNE, Texas –The Canyon Lake Freshmen Hawks took a cue from the New York Jets and used their own version of “pound and ground” to rough up the Boerne Greyhounds 26-7 Thursday night to even their season record at 4-4 and 3-1 in district play.

From the first kick and even walking off the bus the Hawks used a physical, suffocating defense and a powerful, efficient run game to win in Boerne for the second time this season.

“We knew we were going to beat them when we walked off the bus,” defensive lineman Dallas Sandau said. “But at the same time we knew they were going to come at us pretty hard because they wanted revenge, so we had to be ready to go.”

The Hawks were indeed ready to go and used their “pound” first on the defensive side of the ball to hold the Greyhounds to 60 total yards and three 1st downs in the first half.

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity were beat by the Greyhounds from Boerne last Thursday at Hawk stadium, 28-7.

The Hawks were run over by a Greyhound by the tune of 276 yards or over eight yards per carry. The game continued to go downhill for both the offense and defense as the game continued in the last two quarters.

Canyon Lake scored on their second drive of the game by going 78 yards on 11 plays to take the lead, 7-6 over Boerne.

The drive was highlighted with a 17 yard pass to Michael Sheffeild and finished with a nifty 20 yard run from Quarterback Connor Ricker.

The Hawks would not score again as they came up empty on their next seven drives for the endzone.

Amber Ramsey goes for the kill in game against Wimberley

The Lady Hawks know what standard that is needed now as they look towards next season.

This year’s team will not have the thrill of advancing to the playoffs like the previous two Hawk teams.

The first game Canyon Lake kept the score close trailing 6-8 going into the last half of the rotation.

Then the flood gates were opened and the Hawks could not get any rallies going to equate with the lethal Lady Texans.

Wimberley is one of the mainstays in Volleyball as they have set up a permanent residence in the playoffs for many years now.

CASA got infested with Warriors as Bracken Christian crushed the Rams, 74-6 in a blowout Homecoming win, last Friday at Warrior Stadium.

This was the second game in as many years that Bracken could of called a game after the first quarter, as they scored over 45 points. The 58 point quarter was 12 points more when BCS had when they beat SA Lutheran last year.

Unfortunately for CASA the game went another quarter, but Bracken took it easy on their visitors from San Antonio. The Warriors finished taking a knee on the doorstep of CASA’s one yard line.

CASA had one of 33 plays that something good happened and their only score. The 70 yard pass play allowed the Rams to finish with positive yardage for the game with 51 total yards.

game to the Hawks and lapped the home team in grand fashion, 50-14 in a meeting between two undefeated District 26-3A foes.

“We’re not there yet,” Head Coach Matt Monzingo said. “This team (Wimberley) is strong, big and very balanced.”

“When they stopped Zach (Henshaw), we weren’t as tough as we needed to be,” Coach Monzingo reflected.

Wimberley seemed like they were in the Hawk’s huddle as they had four defensive backs ready when the Hawks tried a play that worked earlier this year against Luling. The first play action pass that scored on Luling was an interception against Wimberley.

The Bracken Christian Warriors defeated Holy Trinity-Temple last night at the Warrior gym as the School and Parents honored the Seniors playing their last home game in season play.

The good news would be there will be a second act, as the win enabled BCS another home game in the playoffs, Tuesday October 25th.

Bracken has been on a tear the last half of the season after a heartbreaking loss to Kerrville OLH in their first District game. They now are riding a nine game winning streak.

The Warriors have not tasted defeat since as they have dug, given assists to others, had aces up their sleeves, block parties, and of course all of the above leading to kills for the wins.
