Bracken Christian Warriors           @         Temple Holy Trinity Celtics      August 29th   7:30pm

 Game: Hawks and Celtics

 This Season's Games: First Game

 Series History: First Game

Bracken Christian will be going into the twilight zone to start this season as this Warrior team will be facing off with a school that has played in a crowded field arena and is moving down to 6-Man game.

That would usually not be that big of a deal, except that BCS is not playing with a full deck as they have in previous years.

In last week’s scrimmage, Bracken had just three players keeping Head Coach Lloyd Fields company on the sideline.

Bracken Christian ended their preseason scrimmages on a ‘blahhhh’ note as the Warriors went

through the motions in a game with San Antonio New Life.

Both teams were short on having companions for their head coach on the sideline as New Life dressed 7 players while BCS could only muster two more.

New Life started their first series with a 60 yard run that helped up the ante for Bracken to get a game face on.

That would be New Life’s final score of the game.

“We only had 15 offensive plays and scored on four of them,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields started. “To play on this level (High School), the younger players will have to get better and we have three days to get there.”

Bracken Christian results from their Mystery Tour are in with a resounding scrimmage in Prairie Lea yesterday.

In Coach Lloyd Fields talk earlier this week, he had mentioned that this year’s team is a mystery without knowing how some players would react.

Well, scoring 11 times and only giving up three touchdowns would be considered a successful day of work.

Granted, this group of teams will not be carrying any banners in a Parade this year, but when you are on a mystery tour yourself, then surviving and playing well would be a good barometer.

Coaches Corner with Bracken’s Head Coach Lloyd Fields

The ReSporter: Well Coach you will be playing your first scrimmage tomorrow and so what would be your

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

thoughts going into this game?

Coach Fields: “Mystery, I have no idea of where this team is because of not having enough players to go full tilt. That causes us to be more careful for practice because we cannot afford any injuries.

In 2009 we had some mystery because we graduated a bus load of players. This year we are replacing five seniors from last year’s squad and of those five players four of them went both ways.”

The ReSporter: How many players will be suited up?

Coach Fields: “We have 11 players and two of those students will be limited tomorrow. In the last two years we have had 13 and 11 players and eight of those were starters. We will need to develop some young guys to give us depth.”

Warriors taking a break during practice.

Fall football practice has begun and that long wait now becomes shorter as Bracken Christian began practice this past Monday.

“This year our second day of practice was better than our first day,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “Many times your second day is a fall off and this is the best second day of practice in a while for Bracken.”

Six-Man football has critical dates and one of those times is that first day when Coaches can see if enough boys will show up in order to see they will have enough players for a team.

Yes, there was some Junior no shows that were present for Spring practice 3 months ago, but luckily, BCS also had some new faces also in attendance.

“We have a lot of young kids doing a lot of learning,” Coach Fields continued. “But we have some players like our wide receiver (Freshman Christian DeLeon) looking like our next RJ Braune.”

Braune still holds the single season best for receiving yardage in Coach Fields first year at BCS.

Braune would be top in more of those receiving stats, but in those first two years there were no stats documented. Simple math would tell you Braun would hold almost all of the receiving marks if those stats were known.

The Reporter would like to thank all the many readers that have frequented this website this past year.

The ReSporter would like you to Vault into next year by placing an Ad on this site.

This has been a very successful year for the website as each month this season had more visits than any previous month since we started four years ago.

The ReSporter had 315 articles this past school year and since starting this quest, The ReSporter, has finished a total of 1,159 posts or articles.

Another way of saying, a lot of stories.

Now it is time for The ReSporter to take a few months off and hopefully come back with enough energy to get another year finished.

Our apologies for these past couple of weeks, The ReSporter, has suffered ‘Burn Out’ much like many of the Seniors have suffered from Senioritis.

With that being said, The ReSporter would like to invite you to think about helping with posting an Ad through this venue.

Since, The ReSporter, likes numbers then chew and calculate how these stats might help your business.

The * for 2010-11 represents just three months as this endeavor started after the basketball season that year, so those numbers will not have the same amount of days you could visit.

This also shows how each year has topped each previous season which should hopefully give you an idea of what might happen this coming school year.

SA and NB for the cities represent San Antonio and New Braunfels. Austin and San Marcos were right behind those two cities giving you an idea of how far this site can reach what you might be needing to sell or get across to your audience.

Thanks once again for showing support for this site and know that an Ad would cost $50 per semester and an extra $35 if you would like to have your Ad placed with articles, which many of you have noticed we started doing this past spring.

The ReSporter would also welcome ideas and thoughts that you might like to see for this upcoming school year.

Be Blessed and enjoy the Summer and tell my Advertisers you saw their Ad on my site…and Congrats to all the Seniors from Bracken and Canyon Lake. You don’t know how much I have enjoyed covering your events these past 4 years.

BCS Warriors working on drills during Spring Practice

Bracken Christian finished their Spring practice last week and it turned out to be a surprise party as several players jumped out of their box and seemed in step for what could be a decent season.

“If we can make stops then I think we will have a better season than last year,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said.

BCS would have been in a much better position when they reached the playoffs last year if the defense could of been a little more stout.

“We could not make stops on defense last year,” Coach Fields continued. “We gave up too many fourth down plays in our game with Austin Hill Country and other games….those contests had a chance of changing the outcome with those stops.”

The defense will have Noah Boriack more often this season. Boriack primarily played offense. He still finished with 3 interceptions with very limited snaps.

Another interceptor will be Coy Zunker who suffered a season ending injury last year but still ended fourth in tackles last year with 60 and 3 interceptions.

“I will not let the injury I had last year hold me back for my senior year,” Zunker said with a stethoscope around his neck. “I am going to play the best that I can,”

Bracken Christian started their 2014 Spring practice this past Monday after saying

Sophomore Brady Beene ready to take the Reigns

good-bye to the last class that played in a State Championship game.

“I was really impressed with the young guys,” Coach Fields started. “I will go to bed tonight presently surprised.”

BCS will be starting their second first year quarterback this season after Sam Hilgendorf put up his cleats after last season and Eli Achilles enjoyed a 4 year reign at the position before that.

Sophomore Brady Beene will take over this year and will look to continue a Warrior given of playing in the playoffs.

“Beene throws the ball very well,” Coach Fields added.

Bracken has only missed out on the postseason their first year which also happened to be their last season with a losing record.

A tradition of winning is a common occurrence with Bracken Christian.

Bracken Christian Warriors have all their ducks in a row as TAPPS has realigned BCS into a new district and this year’s schedule has been set.

“Four of the top six teams will be coming from our district,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “OLH has everyone coming back and Castle Hills was the Division II State Champ last season.”

Bracken has been playing these past few years with 12-14 players on the sideline when other same division schools might have over 20 suited up and not playing.

Those type of numbers in 6-Man will always give the advantage to the larger school.

 Honorable Mention
 Sam Hilgendorf      Quarterback              Mason Anthony       Defensive Back
 Daniel Forgione     Running Back

Coach Lloyd Fields fielded his thoughts on each player:

Jeff Camp: “We knew nothing about Jeff back in August when we got out our pads and he was big for us and our

Sam Hilgendorf First Team Defensive Back

program.”

John Colby: “John did a great job at linebacker as he had to replace an all everything player (Eli Achilles), he stepped into the job and handled it well.”

Davis Scott: “This was Davis’ third year and he was the ultimate team player as he changed positions five times and never complained…he did whatever was asked of him.”

Noah Boriack: “Boriack was our offense…these are units and this was the best offensive line we have had at BCS in the past six years…but Noah was a warrior and gave his all for the team. He could of been a first team defensive player for us, but he was too valuable for us on offense to play defense enough to get that award.”

Preston Koch: “Preston had a good career at Bracken and was the only starter that played on our State Championship Team three years ago from this group of Seniors.”

Coy Zunker Second Team Defensive Back

Sam Hilgendorf: “He was a competitor and team was always first and me second. Sam was the kind of guy you had to have to have a successful football team.”

Coy Zunker: “He would of made first team if it were not for his injury. Coy helped and played with a bad knee after the start of the year.”

Daniel Forgione: “Daniel is a guy who will get better and better, this year was his starting point.”

Mason Anthony: “Mason came in last year after losing several players to injury and he was a trooper when we needed him.”
