i'm taking pictures now
So if you haven't heard, I've basically become the #2 guy at Varsity Wires now. I really didn't feel like having to fight with the district's ticket site this year, and right now I honestly feel a bit more comfortable in a room with two other people than outside with hundreds of people who probably aren't sitting very far from me, so I decided to learn how to keep stats.
I've actually been doing Varsity Wires-related stuff for a couple of years now; last year, I just tweeted out score updates and I was doing that for free. Now, they're paying me to keep stats and spot for tackles. It was time for me to start pulling a little more weight, honestly. And I'm getting a little extra money too, so I can't complain.
The new gig has also given me an excuse to go out and buy a camera, so here are a few of my favorite shots from the last few weeks...

2¢ on Lakes
The Cypress Lakes Spartans were once again on the doorstep of the playoffs in 2019, but once again, they couldn't make the breakthrough as they were left to rue some close losses. You can take your pick as to which loss stung more:
Not even the otherworldly efforts of Sofian Massoud could spur the Spartans onto the playoffs. Now, with Massoud moving on to the University of Houston, the Spartans now face a significant rebuild and at 0-8, they are essentially back at square one. Not only has Massoud departed, Lakes also lost their leading receiver, Khaliq Mateen, and the person who would have been their top returning receiver, Josh McMillan, who moved to Tompkins. They also lost a talented trio in the secondary as Eamon Perry, Kyree Anderson, and Xavier Corbin have all moved on. Simply put, the Spartans were decimated by graduation and a very significant move-out.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
The Wildcats fended off a challenge from probably one of the best quarterbacks to come through Cy-Fair ISD in a decade, Sofian Massoud, and hung on for a 31-28 victory as Lakes kicker Axel Espinal missed a 48-yard field goal as time expired. Massoud had four total touchdowns, but Jackson Jones matched him with four of his own as he ran for 96 yards and three scores while throwing for 157 yards and a touchdown.
Sub-Varsity Game Information
