Previously on Cy Woods Football...
The Cypress Woods Wildcats trailed Spring 40-20 after three quarters. They managed to erase that deficit and took a 43-40 lead... only to lose 47-43. I'm going to stop talking about this game now.
And now, the real season begins. Unfortunately, Cy Woods will be stumbling into District 14-6A play while Tomball Memorial pounded Tomball and Klein to open their season. The good thing is, as Coach Neill pointed out to me, everybody's 0-0 now.
I know I used this last year but I'm using it anytime Cy Woods plays another school that has the Wildcat as their mascot.
The Enemy: Tomball Memorial Wildcats
2018 Record: 8-3, 6-2 (2nd) in District 14-6A
Lost 35-14 to Vandegrift in 6A Division II, Region II bi-district round
Tomball Memorial laid waste to their non-district schedule as they smacked Tomball 48-14 in their season opener and mauled Klein 47-21 last week.

2¢ on Tomball Memorial
The Wildcats lost last year's starting quarterback, Chandler Galban, after he transferred to Lone Star High School in Frisco. Christian Lovick and Colbie Habermacher, their top two rushers from last season and two of their leading receivers, Jordan Gidrey and Jordan Grice have all departed as well, but they haven't appeared to miss a beat on offense.
But... they do have Logan Kyle returning to the fold. One of the top receivers in the state, he's committed to Vanderbilt and Dave Campbell's tabbed him as the preseason Offensive MVP in the district. You may remember that he scored on a 99-yard touchdown reception on Tomball Memorial's first offensive play of last year's meeting. This year, he has backup in the form of Joseph Manjack, a transfer from Alief Hastings. Manjack, who also played some quarterback at Hastings, is a rising star in the city and together, they may be the best 1-2 receiver tandem in the Houston area.
The offense is now in the hands of Colton Marwill, a junior who was Galban's backup last year. He's stepping into a very nice situation with Kyle and Manjack as his top two receivers, to say the least. Carbrey Barnes has emerged as the #1 running back for TMHS and he's turned into the workhorse, though they'll probably look to find someone to take some of the load off of him. Barnes enters district play as District 14-6A's leading rusher.
A relatively young defense is now a year older and they've got playmakers at every level. Braedon Nutter anchors the defensive line and has also become the starting center. Elijah Champaigne is a Tulane commit who led TM with seven sacks last season. Trenton Moore and Josh Ruiz are the leading returning tacklers. Moore can also get to the quarterback as he finished right behind Champaigne with six sacks of his own. He and Seth Fremin give Tomball Memorial two formidable linebackers. The secondary is stacked with talent as Ruiz, Tre Jordan, Darnell Streat, and Alex Edmonson, who all saw playing time as sophomores, return. Hayden Davis is one of the hybrid linebacker/safety types that are becoming increasingly more common in the game; he was yet another sophomore who emerged as a key player for the Tomball Memorial defense last season.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
When Cy Woods couldn't keep up, it got ugly. Woods tied the game at 21 midway through the second quarter, but Tomball Memorial finished the game by scoring 34 unanswered to run away with a 55-21 victory. Chase Richter had 16 tackles on the night while Carson Danner ran for 79 yards and two touchdowns.
