The Wildcats escaped with a 31-28 victory over Cypress Lakes as Axel Espinal's 48-yard field goal fell short as time expired. Jackson Jones ran for 96 yards and three touchdowns and he also threw for 157 yards, 53 of which came on a touchdown connection with JaVarian Stewart. Colton Morris had 14 tackles and a sack.

2¢ on Park
Cypress Park and Bridgeland both made their debuts last season. While the Bears have quickly become rising stars in Class 6A, the Tigers' path has been slightly more arduous. However, they've got some players that can cause issues for the Cats if they're not careful. That's the thing about Cy-Fair ISD football: even the teams that are perceived as not being very good have a few pretty good players on their rosters.
Park earned their first victory when they topped Springs a couple of weeks ago and while they've struggled record-wise, they have made legitimate improvement on the field and have been competitive in almost all of their games. That win over Springs remains their only victory, but that hasn't seemed to dampen school spirit; Park will usually have a decent turnout, especially among the students. That level of support is incredibly crucial, especially with a new program.
The Tigers will still have a few players who will play both ways, but no matter where they line up, they get after it on every play. They hung with Ranch for 48 minutes and that will certainly give them the belief that they can hang with Woods.
Cameron Jeng is a deep threat on offense and a hard-hitting defensive back who leads the Tigers in tackles. Sergio Small leads the district in sacks and also their starting running back. He's been known to break off a few long runs coming up the middle. James LeBlanc might be their most dynamic player, though; he's a burner who will use his speed to bust loose on the outside and he also has a 102-yard kick return touchdown to his name.
The Tigers are getting some major contributions from sophomores such as Cameron King, Harold Perkins, and Chris Gilbreath. They have certainly turned into a pretty nice core for Park's future. King is a wing-back who probably doesn't have LeBlanc's speed (yet) but he's proven to be rather elusive. Perkins, a linebacker, had the pick six against Ranch and he's turned into a run stopper on the defense with 5.5 tackles for loss. Gilbreath has started every game this season alongside Small, Perkins, and Raymond Sims. Park's strength on defense looks to be their depth at linebacker, where Kyran Christian and Omega Goodlette (who was a starter last season) will also factor into the mix. Carl Jenkins is tied with Jeng for the team lead in tackles and they are the leaders of a vastly improved secondary that also features LeBlanc and Derrick Watson.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
The Cats did what they were expected to do and won big (61-7) over a first-year varsity football program with fewer than 40 kids on the roster. What more is there to say besides "they did what they were expected to do?"
Sub-Varsity Game Information
Cy Park has two freshman teams and one JV team. If the JV Gold team does not have an opponent, there will be one game played at Cy Park at 5:30. Game times for the freshmen, who will be at Cy Woods, are 4:30 and 6:30.
