Leonard George Stadium
Previously on Cy Woods Football...
Season openers remain unkind to the Wildcats as they allowed 19 points in 38 seconds to Cy Ridge just before halftime and that horrid stretch ended up condemning them to a 47-21 loss, their fifth consecutive defeat to open a season. The Cats had no answers for Noah Smith, who threw four touchdowns and ran for two more.
Chase Richter recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass. Jackson Jones ran for a touchdown but he threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
Rounding out the non-district portion of the schedule for Cy Woods is a team that fancies themselves as a threat to Westfield in District 16-6A. This could potentially be a playoff matchup, but first things first, let's talk about this regular-season, non-district contest.
The Enemy: Spring Lions
District 16-6A
2017: 8-2, 6-1 (2nd) in District 16-6A
Lost 10-7 to Klein in Class 6A, Division I bi-district round
It is possible that Spring could play in the Division I bracket in the playoffs, depending on which Aldine school makes the playoffs.
Spring dominated Elsik 47-6 down in Alief to open their 2018 campaign. Lions quarterback Clifton McDowell ran for 147 yards and four touchdowns as the Lions made short work of the Rams.
This will be the first meeting between Cy Woods and Spring.
Players to Watch
Clifton McDowell - SR QB
Clyde Lacy - SOPH RB
Azavier Roane - SR RB
Marques Pearson - SR WR
Marcus Senne - SR TE
Dylan Roy - SR OL
Treyvon Mays - SR DB
Xavier Pittman - JR DL
2¢ on Spring
The Lions, after a period of dormancy, have re-emerged as one of the top Region II teams out of Houston along with their hated rivals, Westfield.
Spring's offense is keyed by their quarterback, Clifton McDowell, one of the most dynamic players on the North side. McDowell, a Louisiana commit, threw just one interception last season. Azavier Roane will split time with emerging sophomore Clyde Lacy at running back. Senne can use his 6'5" frame to overmatch his defenders and also functions as an extra lineman in the running game. Considering how the Cats defense had their hands full with Noah Smith, they're going to have to really lock in against McDowell.
Mays and Pittman will be counted on to lead the defense, which Dave Campbell's Texas Football describes as young.
Sub-Varsity Game Information
The freshmen will travel to Spring while the JV will play at home. Game times are 4:30 and 6:30.
Location of Leonard George Stadium
Leonard George Stadium is on the campus of Spring High School. Per the Spring ISD website, visitor parking is located on the northeast side of the stadium. It may be a good idea to have cash on hand in case the box office does not accept credit cards.
