Previously on Cy Woods Football...
Last Thursday at Pridgeon Stadium, the Cypress Woods Wildcats made quick work of the Cypress Park Tigers with a 61-7 victory. Christian Scott ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a couple of passes for 25 yards. Nolan Authorlee stood out on special teams as he blocked two field goal attempts. Authorlee also intercepted a pass, his second pick of the season.
The Wildcats will now gear up for a Friday night showdown looking to do something they've never had to do: avenge a loss to the Cypress Springs Panthers. Before we take a look at Cy Springs, let's take a look at the current situation in District 14-6A.
And... if this game didn't take place on Friday, I probably would have been at Pridgeon to watch the Jersey Village-Cy Falls game.

2¢ on Springs
The Panthers looked poised to finally break Cy-Fair ISD's longest active playoff drought in football behind Leon O'Neal, Taye Barber, Jahmarae Sheread, and Xayvion West, four of the top players in the district. Unfortunately, they couldn't get over the hump. It feels like we were waiting for them to finally break into the top four in the all-CFISD district from 2014 up until last year. O'Neal, Barber, Sheread, and West have all moved on and the Panthers are now undergoing another rebuild.
Keimontra Washington and David Perez will lead the Panthers in the trenches and Isaiah Darton is one of their playmakers in the second level; he leads the district in sacks. The real strength of Springs' defense, however, is in their secondary. Myles Mass leads the group and he's a solid corner, but Johnathan Bloom is a true impact player. He was a first-team All-District selection at linebacker as a sophomore and now he's probably their best player. Bloom has two interceptions as a safety this year. Darius Allen and Chris Anaba have also emerged as playmakers in the secondary.
Daunte Ward is the quarterback of the Panthers' run-heavy attack. They've found modest success in the run game, but it feels like there are way too many cooks in that kitchen. Roman Anderson and Miguel Romero are the Panthers' top two running backs, but Cameron Jackson, Terrance Sneed, David Booker, Ugo Ishiekwene, Caleb Palmer, and Kevonne Hyde will also see time in the backfield. The passing game is virtually non-existent, however, which is pretty crazy considering that Donnell Dunn was putting up 200-yard receiving games almost effortlessly a few years ago.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
In the very first game of the 2017 season in District 17-6A, the Panthers defeated the Wildcats for the first time ever, winning by a final score of 27-9. Bobby Dodson ran for 77 yards on 14 carries. Jack Barrientez scored the Wildcats' only touchdown of the game on a three-yard run in the third quarter.
