I didn't go to the most recent 7-on-7 tournament at Cy Falls because one of my cousins invited me to the Astros game on Friday. I did check Twitter periodically and saw that Cy Woods went 3-0 in pool play, defeating Clear Lake 18-7, Katy Taylor 41-26, and Langham Creek 20-14.
Well, that was nice. Since the Cats have already qualified for the state tournament, there was absolutely no pressure on them to win. As a result, they could just go out and have fun. At the same time, however, they were reminded that this tournament represented another opportunity for them to compete so they couldn't just loaf around.
Woods shut out Langham Creek in pool play last week and then held Clear Lake to a single touchdown in this tournament. 7-on-7 is not geared towards defense, so to hold a team to one touchdown or even shutting them out is an impressive feat. As I wasn't there, I can't offer any opinions on the offense.
Only one more week until the Cats head up to College Station. They'll have one more warm-up tournament this Friday at the Houston Athlete & Training State Qualifying Tournament. This is a tournament that features 32 teams but only two qualifiers as they have the split the field between Grand Oaks High School and the Farm League Park in Spring. The pool winners will advance to a semi-final round and then the winners of those games will play each other for the qualifying spots.
The Wildcats will be playing at the Farm League Park and they've been drawn into Pool A with Channelview, Pearland Dawson, and Magnolia West. Please keep in mind that there will be a $5 entry fee for this tournament. This tournament benefits the Greater Houston Football Coaches' Association and the entry fee will be donated to their scholarship fund.
