Tanner Sherrill outruns everyone to the end zone
It was not a pretty Saturday for the Cypress Woods Wildcats as they fell behind 42-0 at halftime to the Cy-Fair Bobcats, who administered a 49-21 drubbing at . No, this game was not as close as the final score indicated. The Bobcat defense was their usual stingy, smash-mouth selves, the Bobcat offense buried Cy Woods early, and the Wildcats could only muster up 44 yards of offense at the half. Meanwhile, Cy Woods' offense coughed the ball up twice in the first half and the Bobcats converted both of those blunders into touchdowns.
It's not over until the math says it's over, but Cy Woods' playoff hopes are just about extinguished. Too many results would need to go their way over the last two weeks, in addition to having to win out.
To their credit, they showed up in the second half and made the final score look a little more respectable. Cy Woods did become the first team to put up more than 14 points and 250 yards on the vaunted Cy-Fair defense this season. Now, most of those yards came when the outcome was already decided, but it still counts all the same.
Hey, I'm all about finding things resembling silver linings.
Scoring Summary
On the second play of the game, Christian Richmond took a jet sweep and opened the scoring with a 67-yard touchdown. Trent Kennedy scored twice in a three-minute span from one yard and 35 yards out.

Ground
Aside from Jake Tesch breaking a couple for nice gains, the Wildcats were absolutely suffocated by the Bobcats' imposing front eight. Jacob Kainer and Jackson Jones were also under siege all day every time they dropped back to pass, which also cratered the Wildcats' rushing numbers in this game.

Connor Faulk: 1 carry, 12 yards
