Coaches Corner with Lloyd Fields

Hey Coach it has been a while and so let’s jump right into this big upcoming game this Friday with Boerne

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

Geneva.

The ReSporter: What do we need to know about your game with Geneva this week?

Coach Fields: “This will be a major-major war this Friday. The rankings came out the other day and we are a 61 point underdog.”

The ReSporter: What does Geneva do that makes them so tough?

Coach Fields: “They are big, strong, fast, and they will hit you.”

The ReSporter: Tell us about some of their players.

Bracken Christian will be embarking on their second half of the season this coming Saturday and The ReSporter would like to delve into seeing just where this team is in retrospect to previous Warrior teams.

The loss to Austin Hill Country to start this season might have been a blessing in disguise for BCS this season.

The Warriors have responded with a four game winning streak and that loss helped this team to know that they had in no way would win a game just by putting on their uniform.

Austin Hill Country scored 8 points in the first quarter and that has been the last team to put points on the board this season on Bracken’s defense in that quarter.

The Management for The ReSporter

Bracken Christian Bagged the Jags on Saturday night in a nail biter, 34-27.

Senior Quarterback Sam Hilgendorf

“This game hinged on three key plays,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields fielded. “The last drive we had showed we have character, we had two tough series near the end of the game on offense and defense, and all of our young man played well.”

This game started with a two play drive from the feet of Running Back Noah Boriack when he had his first run go for 52 yards and helping the Warriors draw first blood.

Boriack would end this game with 5 touchdown runs and that will put him with some pretty good company in BCS lore.

 Five or More TD Runs      Number     Year Graduated
 Grady Achilles            14         2011

Head Coach Lloyd Fields

The ReSporter: Hey Coach what are you thinking with this week’s game?

Coach Fields: “This will be a game that will come down to two or three key plays and either we will make them or they will make them.”

The ReSporter: That sounds like you feel both teams are pretty even.

Coach Fields: “We are a lot alike and this week’s game will tell us how we are going to come out this season. We are at a cross roads of our season and our kids are really focused.”

The ReSporter: You said the kids are focused, what are they focused on?

This is a fun time for The ReSporter. In 6-man Football you do not find many times when you can find information about your opponent and this is one school that does a great job of giving those entities and this gives The ReSporter a chance to do a more complete report.

Both schools started this year with a loss and are currently working on a two game winning streak.

A lot has changed from this game that was played in 2011 when both schools were working on 15 or more game winning streaks when they met.

Emery-Weiner has one constant that many other 6-man schools cannot possess. They have don’t have to worry about losing a player and possibly canceling a game.

The Bracken Christian parking lot will have a much larger bus occupying a space to bring this group of players.

Bracken Christian took care of business in win over Prairie Lea last Friday night, 50-0.

These Indians had a rough time holding onto the ball as fumbles kept them in trouble throughout this contest.

A total of six fumbles while losing three had these Warriors on the War Path as they piled on and never let up in getting their first mercy game of this campaign.

A lot of Warriors were called on as seven players got the rock at least once and the rest of ancient history with this Indian squad that has not had a lot of success in their history.

Contrast those woes with Bracken Christian that started football in 2006 and have been to the playoffs in all but that first season. This Prairie Lea team’s last playoff date was back in 1944.

         Warriors (1-1)                 Indians (0-2)

History: First game with these teams.

Season Results:
BCS  38   Austin Hill Country 61   Indians  07 Selma River City Believers 24
BCS  34   Sugar Land Logos    30   Indians  19 SM Hill Country Christian  39

This game has a good chance of being Bracken’s first 45 mercy game this year.

How can The ReSporter be so sure? Take these morsels of information and see if you can come up with another result.

Last season this Indian squad finished with a 2-8 record. In those games played one was Boerne Geneva’s JV squad that won the game 51-6.

SA The Winston 45ed this team last year and one of their victories was against another JV team Austin Veritas.

Bracken 45ed SA The Winston last season giving you an idea of how far the gulf in talent gap might be between these two teams.

Seven of Prairie Lea’s 10 games were mercy games and their record was 1-6 in those games.

Selma River City Believers beat the Indians on opening night this year and that squad last season had a 1-7 record and have not struck fear in many opponents in their history.

How about this line taken from Texas Football Magazine, Prairie Lea has not had a winning season since they returned to playing football back in 2002.

This Indian squad has the longest drought of not making the playoffs dating back to 1944.

Prairie Lea has five returning starters with two on the offensive side and three on defense.

Not a lot of depth and that certainly can play against a team having players going both ways.

Bracken has enough depth that those rested players can seem a lot faster as a game gets older.

Look for that same scenario in this game as this Indian squad will want to have a reservation to Hawaii as this game reaches the halfway mark.

Bracken is working on several players in different positions and so this game will help place some players that are vying for playing time.

Bracken has gone their longest stint since their inaugural year 2006 in administering a mercy game.

Four games have been played since BCS hung 46 points on Kerrville OLH last year. The longest steak previous to this one was 2010-11 season when they matched that four game stint 26 games ago. In 2006 BCS won just one game and that was by four points.

Bracken’s first mercy game with a win was their fourth game into the 2007 season against Cedar Creek Covenant, 64-12.

You will see more passing in this game as Bracken needs to find that player that can get a part of the game that needs to improve before the Warriors enter into their big games coming up.
