Cy Woods All-Time Roster: Number 31

Dominique Robertson, an outside linebacker, made the inaugural varsity team as a junior in 2008. He was known either as Diamond (by us) or The Freak (by the coaches). He even lined up as a defensive end on several occasions, and the results were devastatingly effective. Dominique was just an outstanding athlete and as a defensive end, it was simply unfair. He was selected to serve as a team captain as a senior in 2009 and was a 1st-team All-District 15-5A selection. During track season, he competed in the high jump and ran the 100 and 4x100 relays. His 6'6" mark in the high jump is a school record. After Cy Woods, Dominique signed with Tulane and played all four years of his college career there. He is now an assistant football and track coach at Cy Falls.

Dominique was a bit of a clown at times, but I remember him as being one of the most passionate competitors on the field. He would do whatever it took in order to get the win, and he absolutely abhorred the thought of losing. He was definitely a guy who you would have loved to have on your side in a battle.

Marin Dokara was a backup in 2010. Apparently, he also wore #39 that season. That was because both 31 jerseys were torn up, according to him.

Jacob McMichael was a linebacker in 2011.

The next player to wear #31 was Wade Carson. Wade, who made the varsity in 2013, his junior year, was a two-year starter at linebacker for the Wildcats. He played with great energy and enthusiasm and seemed to possess some sort of magnetic attraction to the ball. His half-brother, Bryce Callahan, is probably the best player from the early era of Cy Woods football. Wade didn't let that faze him, however; he successfully stepped out of the massive shadow that Bryce cast and became a fine player in his own right.

Up until 2015, his father, Don, had attended virtually every varsity game (going back to the first season) and sub-varsity home game to shoot pictures.

Tim Reed, a linebacker, wore #31 in 2015. 

Deontae Cook, a defensive back, was called up in 2016, his junior season. He switched to #8 in 2017.

Derrick Brooks came to Cy Woods from Georgia. He first competed in varsity athletics for Cy Woods in track and field in 2016, his junior year. He became a starting cornerback in 2017. Derrick also ran the 4x200 meter relay and the 4x400 relay for the Wildcats.

Gustavo Olmedo (he also went by Gustavo Leal) was the kicker in 2018, where he earned first-team District 14-6A honors. Gustavo provided one of the top moments of the 2018 season when he hit a game-winning 47-yard field goal as time expired against Langham Creek. I'm highly sure that Gustavo set a school record for field goals attempted and made, both in a single season and a career, in his one year as the kicker. He also played soccer for Cy Woods.

Well, since Cy Woods scored touchdowns almost all the time in the early years, the only kicks I remember are usually extra points.

Fielding Craft III, also known as Trey, is a quarterback who spent most of 2019, his sophomore year, on the JV before he was called up because the Wildcats suddenly didn't have any quarterbacks. He also spent some time as an A-back at the varsity level. Trey is also a guard on the Cy Woods basketball team.
