The field goal for Austin Hill Country was scored with less than three minutes on the fourth quarter clock while the BCS JV basketball team used a round ball to secure the win, Saturday at Bracken gymnasium.

The Warriors started slow by hitting only two of their 15 shots in the first quarter.

However, the rim got much larger the next three stanzas as BCS shot 60% and put the game away.

Briana Martinez continues to have a hot hand scoring 11 points coming off the bench. Every Warrior player had a steal in the game as Austin Hill Country could not find the basket.

The Bracken Girl’s Basketball team came up on the short end as district play started last Tuesday night at the Bracken Gym.

Kerrville OLH jumped out to a commanding lead and the Warriors could never catch on fire and reel the Hawks in losing, 46-28.

BCS did win the second half by closing the gap seven points.

The Warriors were led by a 16 point effort from Brianna Martinez. Martinez missed a double-double by one rebound finishing with nine.

“The second half we totally played a different game,” Brianna Martinez said. “The different offense for the second half helped.”

The Bracken Warriors lost by the slimmest of margins, Saturday in

losing, 32-28 to Abilene Christian Panthers in Semi-Final action at Moody, Texas.

“Sometimes you have heard it said that you can get a victory out of defeat,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “In this game I can say that this Bracken team did not quit and played with pride to get the game to within four points and that close to a winning score on the final play.”

The ‘Hail Mary’ was actually hard to do based on a 30-40 mile per hour winds in Quarterback Eli Achilles face on that final play.

Four seconds was the time showing on the scoreboard with BCS needing 50 yards to see another day on the gridiron.

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 will have a higher step on the stairs this week as they

ascend to the pinnacle for another State Championship.

You know what happens as you walk stairs and don’t pay attention and all of a sudden the next step is higher than the other 25 steps you have taken before.

“Abilene Christian is the best passing team I have ever seen in six-man football,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “These are some big, bad, boy’s from Abilene.”
