The ReSporter: Hey Coach Drum, this week your team will be

facing a known offense and yet it is one of the toughest offenses to control, why?

Coach Drum: “Our biggest problem is simulating this type of offense in practice. They (Navarro) have been running this offense since Seventh Grade and it is just hard to simultate.”

The ReSporter: Tell us a little more about what makes this offense so hard to figure out.

Coach Drum: “There are different keys for the defense. The Defensive Line, Linebackers, and Defensive Backs are all looking for different areas for assignment football.”

The ReSporter: In Navarro’s two losses this season, how did those teams disrupt this Panther team?

Coach Drum: “Wimberley had good penetration and controlled their line of scrimmage. You have to have a good scheme. If you do something to slow them down, then they can counter and they have done a good job doing that this season. Navarro has been successful because they don’t have a lot of turnovers.”

There has been some classic games against Kerrville OLH from past years.

One such game played in 2009 was the last time Bracken had lost at home.

OLH had more in their tank in that contest as they poured it on in the second half and pulled away from a Bracken team that was on an 8 game winning streak and had a lot of momentum going into the post season.

Then in 2010, BCS returned the favor and narrowly escaped with a nine point win in Kerrville which allowed the Warriors to play a home playoff game while OLH would be relegated to a tougher road in the playoffs.

In fact, Bracken met up with OLH again that year in the third round of those playoffs.

It was a classic game that went into overtime with Bracken intercepting a pass that put your Warriors into their championship game and eventual TAPPS Trophy against Dallas Covenant.

Last year, Kerrville OLH and Bracken was battling for a District crown and the Warriors ‘Mercy’ gamed the visitors on this go around, 79-34. It was a 24th game winning streak for Bracken that got them eventually into another final four round.

 Hawks  16  Boerne          43        Navarro  48  Bandera         13

Canyon Lake has just one option this week. Win, and if possible more than 14 points.

Navarro will be bringing their run game to Hawk stadium and if you can think back two years ago, then you might remember over 500 yards gained on the ground by that Panther team.

Navarro only has one loss in District 27-3A competition and that loss was by one point to Wimberley.

Boerne was beaten by 14 points to Navarro leaving just one other choice for Canyon Lake.

If Boerne could beat Wimberley, then Canyon Lake could win by one point over Navarro to squeeze into the third spot in district play. That win would give CL the bid based on head to head action.

Bracken Christian has had just one game with Houston Emery-Weiner, but you can know one thing that is irrefutable about this 6-Man football team.

They will never have to worry about an injury depleting their roster.

E-W has had 11 players catch a ball this season while Bracken has 13 players on their roster.

This Houston team has two practices, one for defense and one for offense.

Bracken hopes no one is sick on any given day so they can have a practice with at least six players for each side of the ball.

 Hawks 03  Wimberley   40    Boerne 35  Bandera        13

Canyon Lake continues their melt down when meeting Wimberley. Whatever the reason, CL

will have errors in this game along with a team that can exploit a Hawk team repeatedly each season.

This week, Canyon Lake has an early date with Boerne on Thursday with both teams needing a win to enhance their chances of being one of those three teams to make the playoffs.

A loss and then, just like last year, the team that loses will need a lot of help from other teams to have a chance of going on with their season.

It is safe to say that Fredericksburg and Bandera will have another year at the bottom of this district, leaving three playoff spots for four teams.

The ReSporter could only find names of three players for CASA and nothing else about games played or Stats for those games.

After this week’s game you will still know nothing about any players and only have one game of Stats for this team.

Take the total score of the four games played and you would have a good indication of what this outcome will be.

 Hawks  42  Bandera   07     Texans  21  Navarro           20

The ReSporter will start with the Non-District games first.

Wimberley has played teams with an overall record of 19-16. while Canyon Lake has played teams with a 21-15 slate.

District play has both teams playing teams with 7-7 for Wimberley and CL with 6-8 record.

One common opponent for non-district was La Vernia. CL lost by one point and Wimberley won by two touchdowns.

Going with that theme, Bandera also beat, La Vernia 34-14. That score has already been nixed by those same Bulldogs coming out on the short end with CL and Wimberley by a score that was very similar and both games being at home.

Wimberley won that game scoring 34 unanswered points to start the game, while Canyon Lake ended their game with 35 unanswered points.

That Bandera team was not the same Bulldog team from non-district, in that they were stripped of their best player in their last non-district game. Michael Miller might have been the best player for District 27-3A this year based on his accomplishments before his injury.

Wimberley best victory might have come last week in their win over Navarro on the road. Another game that good teams find a way of winning.

The last time SA The Winston had a longer winning streak than Bracken Christian coming into their annual game this week was never.

Winston is riding a four game winning streak and another win this week would tie their total wins from last season. The Eagles only had one win in district last season and have already passed that total.

By looking at the history of games you will notice that The Winston has not played a full game against BCS yet. All their games have had that ‘Mercy’ moniker placed on them up to this point.

This Eagle team seems to have changed their game plan from the start of this season and now.

Their first games were more passing oriented and now Winston is running like their is no tomorrow.

 Hawks 27 Billies    17   Bandera 06  Wimberley    40

Bandera comes into this week’s game without one of their best offensive players.

Quarterback Michael Miller was lost for the year in their win over La Vernia two weeks ago.

Miller was a do everything type of player for this Bulldog team. He might remind Hawk fans of that quarterback (name withheld by Doctors orders) for Boerne last year that became a nightmare for all those sleepless nights as fans waited for this season to start.

Miller still leads District 27-3A in rushing after missing his first game last week against Wimberley. His 735 yards rushing will be hard to replace to say the least.

In fact, Miller accounted for 53% of the Bulldogs offense until his injury.

Bracken Christian Warriors have been thrown a curve ball this week.

The game with SA Atonement was cancelled and BCS has been trying to find some teams with open dates to play.

The Pre/Game article with SA Atonement will have to be scrapped and now a new team and place to play will be the result.

Gustine, about a three hour drive up 281, contacted Bracken needing a game for this Friday. So, the Warriors will now be traveling to a Division I UIL destination.

Gustine was very proactive simply because this weekend was going to be their Homecoming game.

That is what put a sense of urgency for getting this game scheduled so quickly.

What do we know about Gustine? Not much…They have a 1-5 record this season, but this team has been decimated by injuries and finished one game with just six players.

The Tigers were picked for second place in their district to begin this season.
