The ReSporter has learned of the passing of Dale Dehlin this Tuesday and would like to share with the family how much we will miss his countenance, help, and smile.

The ReSporter always could count on Dale to let me know of misspelling and other tidbits that was missed in articles written by this writer.

You could always see Dale at all the Sporting events whether it involved Bryce Dehlin his son or not. He was a staunch supporter of Canyon Lake in every facet that you can imagine.

The ReSporter will miss his company during games from little league through high school. Or, just sitting with him during basketball games.

Dear Dehlin family, know that you are in our Prayers as we share in this loss of your husband and father.

Our heart hurts and ask that if you are in need then you know you can count on us (Canyon Lake community) to be there for you.

God Speed as you remember the awesome gift you have received in a man that you had the pleasure to share your life with.

It wasn’t that long ago that the Canyon Lake Baseball team was coming back from a second round loss to Hidalgo after taking the 27-5 team to a three game playoff and one hit from making the third round.

The Hawks were then hit with a slew of injuries and players moving to give the 2011 season a rebuilding campaign.

So now, one year later, Canyon Lake will now enter this season with only one returning Senior (Dylan Adams) and two strong classes that have the potential to surprise some district foes.

How about, Travis Walker in his third year on the varsity. The catcher/third baseman/pitcher will be wearing a lot of hats.

BCS is now into their third year of practicing during the

Thanksgiving holiday, but how are parent’s taking this ‘new’ holiday tradition?

“It’s worth it,” Scott Wilkinson, Austin Wilkinson’s Dad said. “If you are practicing then that means you are one game away playing for it all.”

Bracken Christian is preparing for a game of epic proportions this time around. The scuttlebutt going around internet sites is how both teams are bringing a lot of accolades to the gridiron for this Saturday’s clash.

So how did the Warriors practice go for this pre/Thanksgiving dinner?

“It was good,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We’re healthy and the kids know the challenge that faces them.”

Bracken Christian is on a 25 game winning streak, but this game is different than games played before.

There seems to be more resolve and players practicing with a different intensity.

Bracken Christian Warriors have finished their regular season undefeated for two years in a row, as Bracken ran all over Kerrville OLH Hawks, 79-34 at Warrior stadium last Friday night.

The 79 points was impressive, but a little known fact about Bracken is how dominating the defense can be. If you don’t believe that is true, then go ask a sore Hawk in Kerrville what they think.

OLH Hawks came into the game scoring over 67 points per contest while the Warriors held Kerrville to half that average in this game for the District title.

Senior Grady Achilles rushed for 335 yards while carrying the rock 15 times. Adding up the last four games before this finale had Achilles with 17 rushes total.

In fact, the last seven games Grady Achilles has amassed 31 carries helping Bracken cake walk through the middle part of the season.

GERONIMO, Texas – “2 and 0” were the cries being heard from Panther Stadium Thursday night as the Canyon Lake Freshmen Hawks improved to 2-0 in district play and 3-3 on the season after beating the Navarro Panthers 21-8.

From the opening kick the Hawks made play after play on defense to stymie the normally methodical yet effective Panther offense as Navarro was only able to rack up 95 yards of total offense in the game.

“We read our keys and did what we talked about in practice for the past two weeks,” coach Luke Chapman said after the game. “Credit to the kids for taking coaching and executing on the field. We did a great job of being physical and each man doing his job.”

Canyon Lake could never get control of the line of scrimmage in loss to Navarro

Panthers at Hawk Field Thursday night, 32-13.

Navarro did one thing well, and that was run the ball.

The old adage of run the same play until the other team can stop it was alive and well at Hawk Stadium.The Panthers averaged over nine yards per carry while the Hawks tried to find the ball.

Oh yeah, the Panthers did something else very well and that was hiding the ball from the Hawk defense. By the time CL figured which running back was running, it was too late to stop the positive yardage. (more…)

The grades are in for the Bracken Christian Warriors for the first half of the season. It should not be much of a surprise…A+

The Warriors have had four mercy games out of the first five games of the season. Which should give you a good idea for the high grade.

Bracken cleared the first hurdle when the Warriors beat Austin Hill Country, 68-48 on the first game of the season.

The team is averaging right at 62 points a game while giving up 15 for the first five games.

Historically BCS is averaging the most points ever at this point of the season. Last season Bracken averaged over 55 points a game based on the same number of games.
