CANYON COMANCHE FOOTBALL: News & Events

This year's Varsity and JV Banquet will be held on December 14th (Monday) at the Anaheim Hills Counntry Club.  Mark your calendars!  Invitations are already in the mail.

The Comanches concluded their 2009 Football Season Friday night with a loss to El Dorado. 

The Comanches finish with a 4-6 record overall and 2-3 in the Century League.   

Our Comanches rode a two game winning streak into Thursday nights game against Villa Park.  However, the streak was halted as Villa Park rode a game opening TD kickoff return to a 14-7 victory.

The Comanches now face CIF elimination next Friday Night in a must win situation against El Dorado.   Next Friday is also Senior Night.  Plan to get to the game early for the senior player introductions, prior to kickoff. 

Unlike some of the Comanches past games against the Tiller, last night was a contested game.  With a couple of early breaks, the Tillers quickly went up 20-0.  However, at begining of the second quarter, a different Comanche defense stepped onto field, same players, different results.  Tustin's offensive machine was held to one 8 play drive, covering 47 yard TD after the first period.  Their final TD came on an interception.  The Comanche defense repeatedly stopped the Tillers.  Tustin's leader rushers, averaging well over 250 yards a game, was held to 53 yards in the final three quarters, totaling just a 142 yards for the game.  Easily, his lowest total of the season.

The Comanche offense saw numerous opportunities to climb back into the game.  However, each time they started to gain critcal yards down field, the Tiller defense would snag a turnover of some type to foil the drive. 

The Comanches now have their backs to the wall for the balance of the season.  CIF looms large, however, like last years team did, the Comanches have to closeout the season strong.  Next week is a road game against El Modena at Fred Kelly.  The Vandguards have had a mixed bag season so far too, and face the same fork in the road to CIF.  This game will decide both teams CIF Playoff chances.  The winner stays in the hunt, the loser likey will just finish out the season and go home. 

The senior season for Comanches Middle Linebacker Jared Wier (#41) came to abrupted end against Brea.  Just minutes before halftime, Jared's left leg got caught and broken in a pile up on a short yardage run play.  At the time of his injury, Jared lead his team in tackles with 72.  Jared is also a Team Captain and was the defensive signal caller.  His leadership and effort on the field will be greatly missed. 

He suffered a spiral facture to his left tibia, which did not require surgery.  He will start with a thigh cast for his first three week of his recovery.  It will be reduced to a lower leg cast for the next three weeks.  His total recovery time is estimated at 6 to 8 weeks.  

Jared has returned to school.  He hopes to be at all the remaining games, albeit in a wheelchair.

Jared, best wishes for a quick recovery and congratulations for a great season from the entire Anaheim Hills Community!
