7-on-7 State Tournament Report/DCTF Predictions

Cy Woods took part in the Texas State 7-on-7 Football Tournament in College Station this past weekend and they dropped all four of their games. In pool play, they fell 33-31 to A&M Consolidated, 33-15 to Prestonwood Christian Academy, and 28-20 to Mesquite Poteet, making them the only winless team in Pool C. I did not attend on Friday because... I value my job.

The Cats faced Laredo Alexander in their first game in the consolation bracket on Saturday and lost 28-19. Not a weekend to remember, but hopefully they enjoyed the experience playing against some of the top teams from all over this great state. State championships aren't won playing touch football in June in t-shirts and shorts, but the tournament also serves as a barometer to where a team stands during the pre-season. Finish the summer workouts strong and get back to it once you get to put on the pads again.

Also, the state tournament is always my excuse to go on a long roadtrip.

The 2018 edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football is now out and I was pleasantly surprised. The magazine believes that the Wildcats will end their three-year playoff drought as they have picked Woods to finish third in District 14-6A. As the largest school in the district, Cy Woods will play in the Division I bracket no matter what; they would be projected to take on Round Rock Cedar Ridge in bi-district if the prediction holds. DCTF is also predicting that the four playoff spots in 14-6A will be taken by Cy-Fair schools this season.

This half of Cy-Fair ISD (plus Bryan and Tomball Memorial) looks to be the more wide-open district than District 17-6A, which sounds like an understatement. The only serious challenger to Cy-Fair is probably going to be Cy Falls.
