Whatever time the Ranch game ended, Saturday, October 26, 2019
Previously on Cy Woods Football...
I'm not sure, the last game seems to be missing from my memory.
Well, since Cy Woods is off this week, let's delve into the current standings and playoff scenarios.
District 14-6A

The game to watch this week is Lakes/Bridgeland on Halloween. The winner will effectively get the final playoff spot in 14-6A.
If Lakes wins:
- Cy Woods will be the #1 seed and Cy Lakes will be the #2 seed in Division I.
- The Tomball Memorial/Cy Ranch game in Week 11 is for seeding in Division II. Depending on the result of the Cy Woods/Bryan game, this game will also determine whether one of these teams gets to share the district championship with Cy Woods or win it outright.
- Bridgeland is eliminated from playoff contention. The result of their game against Cy Park in Week 11 will be rendered irrelevant.
If Bridgeland wins:
- Cy Ranch will be the #1 seed and Cy Woods will be the #2 seed in Division I.
- Tomball Memorial will be the #1 seed and Bridgeland will be the #2 seed in Division II.
District 13-6A
1. Vandegrift (8-0, 6-0) - #1 seed in DII
2. Vista Ridge (7-2, 5-2) - #2 seed in DII
3. Round Rock (6-2, 4-2) - DI lock
4. Stony Point (6-2, 4-2) - Safe DI
5. Cedar Ridge (4-4, 3-3)
6. Westwood (4-4, 3-3)
7. McNeil (3-5, 2-4)
Week 9 Results
The Division II teams are set and it'll be Vandegrift and Vista Ridge. The Division I spots have yet to be determined.
Round Rock and Stony Point, who are currently the Division I teams in 13-6A, both lost last week. As a result, the door is still sort of open for Westwood and Cedar Ridge. McNeil needs a bunch of miracles to steal a playoff spot.
Thursday, October 24
McNeil 38, Stony Point 28
Friday, October 25
Vista Ridge 35, Hendrickson 32
Westwood 49, Leander 20
Cedar Ridge 58, Round Rock 47
Week 10 Schedule
Bye: Vista Ridge
Thursday, October 31
Hendrickson vs. Round Rock
Friday, November 1
Stony Point vs. Westwood
Leander vs. Vandegrift
Cedar Ridge vs. McNeil
And now, a look at the rest of Region II.
9-6A - Collin County: Allen has pretty much wrapped up the #1 seed for Division I. The other Division I representative from this district is yet to be determined. Right now, it is Plano, who lost to Dallas Jesuit 34-26 last week to fall to 3-2 in district. McKinney moved to 2-3 with a 28-23 win over Plano East. If McKinney advances to the playoffs, Prosper would be the #2 seed in Division I.
Plano finishes the season with McKinney Boyd and Prosper, while McKinney's final two games are against Jesuit and Boyd. Plano defeated McKinney 56-49 on October 10 to earn the tiebreaker advantage. I believe that Plano can clinch the final playoff spot in 9-6A with a win AND a McKinney loss.
10-6A - Garland ISD + Wylie: No change from last week; the two Division I representatives out of 10-6A would still be Rowlett and Sachse. There is now a three-way tie for first as Rowlett, Sachse, and Wylie all have 4-1 records in district. Rowlett and Sachse will play each other in Week 11.
11-6A - Northeast Metroplex + Tyler and Longview: No change from last week; the current Division I teams are still Rockwall and Mesquite, who play each other this week.
12-6A - CenTex: No change from last week; it's still Shoemaker and Harker Heights. However, they both lost last week; Shoemaker fell 35-15 to Midway and Harker Heights lost 21-16 against Copperas Cove. Belton has gotten themselves back in the hunt with a 14-12 win over Ellison. They hold the tiebreaker over Harker Heights by virtue of a 21-14 win on September 20.
Belton will finish the season with Waco and Midway while Harker Heights has a bye week this week before they finish the year against Shoemaker.
15-6A - Klein/Conroe: The current Division I teams from 15-6A are The Woodlands and Klein Oak.
Conroe is at 3-3 and they have Klein Forest and Oak Ridge remaining on their schedule. Klein Cain is currently tied with The Woodlands at 4-2 and they will finish the season against College Park and Klein Oak. The Woodlands' final two games are against Klein Collins and Klein Forest.
If Conroe advances: The Woodlands #1, Conroe #2 in Division I; Klein Oak #1, Klein Collins #2 in Division II
If Klein Cain advances: Klein Oak #1, The Woodlands #2 in Division I; Klein Collins #1, Klein Cain #2 in Division II
16-6A - Spring/Aldine: The three-way tie for fourth at 2-2 has been broken, but now there is a three-way tie for third with Dekaney, MacArthur, and Eisenhower all at 3-2. Davis is currently on the outside looking in at 2-3.
Spring is currently one of the Division I representatives; the other team is still yet to be determined. It is entirely possible that the other three playoff teams (besides Westfield) won't be decided until the final week of the regular season.
As the smallest school in 16-6A, Ike is a Division II lock. They lost to MacArthur 32-29 and will finish the regular season with games against Spring and Dekaney.
Dekaney is a safe bet for Division II; they'll finish the season with Aldine and Ike. If Dekaney or Eisenhower qualify for the playoffs, they would send Westfield to Division I. They took on Spring last week and erased a 21-0 deficit... only to lose 26-23 in overtime.
MacArthur is a Division I lock. They lost to Dekaney 56-0 and beat Ike. They finish out the season with Davis and Spring.
Looking Ahead
The Cypress Woods Wildcats will conclude the 2019 regular season on Friday, November 8 as they travel up to Bryan/College Station to take on the Bryan Vikings at Merrill Green Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:00. Drive safely!
