The Cypress Woods Wildcats were edged out at the death by Bridgeland 35-28 thanks to Conner Weigman's 28-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left. Dylan Rogers had 11 tackles in the game while Dylan Cormier threw three touchdown passes.
Suddenly, the Wildcats find themselves in a bit of a precarious position as next up for them is a Langham Creek team that's kind of rebuilding, but they also look like one of Woods' main competitors for a playoff spot.

2¢ on Langham Creek
After spending most of the 2010s as one of the top teams in Cy-Fair ISD, the Lobos crashed to the bottom of the standings in 2019 and will begin the 2020s in a rebuilding phase. I guess after they got mauled by Ranch to start district, Coach Thompson saw 2019 as a lost season and he elected to use that year to begin the rebuild. Some of the youngsters who were thrown into the fire last year now have that valuable experience under their belt as they prepare for a full season of varsity football.
The Lobos have had great success developing linebackers in recent years and they've got a nice collection of talent returning at that level of the defense, headlined by Jayhvion Gipson, who committed to Washington State over the summer. He'll be joined by A.J. Owens and Henry Toomer, who all emerged as key contributors last season. In fact, Owens, Gipson, and Toomer are the three top returning tacklers for the Lobos. Their experience will be crucial for a Langham defense that will have to replace its starting defensive line from last year. Ja'Mareion Gipson emerged to seize a starting spot in the secondary as a sophomore and he, along with Henry Jackson, will be counted on to lead what should be another solid group. The younger Gipson will also line up as a running back on occasion. Langham will certainly rely on their defense to keep them in games this season, but ultimately, their performance on offense will determine where they will finish in 2020.
Kevin Durney and Alejandro Vasquez are the leading returning receivers for the Lobos, but the name to remember from this group is Jaquaize Pettaway, a sophomore who has the potential to become the next great Langham Creek wideout. Vasquez has shown his versatility by lining up as a running back in certain situations. Cade Hanks, brother of former Lobo standout Chase Hanks, anchors both lines for the Lobos. Tanner Murray impressed on the JV after transferring in from Cy-Fair and has won the quarterback battle from last season's starter, Seth Johnson. I watched Woods' JV game with Langham last season and Murray was the one kid who stood out for them. He certainly has a Conner Weigman-like mentality when it comes to throwing the ball around, and Langham Creek, a program that has a reputation for producing fine quarterbacks, seems to be the perfect landing spot for him. Jayden Landry is a quick, elusive back who got some action after getting called up as a sophomore last season; he scored a touchdown against Woods in last year's matchup.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
For the second straight year, the weather disrupted a football game between Cy Woods and Langham Creek. This time, Tropical Storm Imelda forced this matchup to be rescheduled from a Thursday night to Saturday morning. The new game time certainly threw off the Wildcats as they only led 14-7 after the third quarter, but they finally found their bearings in the final period and pulled away for a 31-14 victory. The Wildcat defense held Langham to 126 total yards of offense on the day. Jackson Jones threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Sub-Varsity Game Information
As it's a Thursday game week, the freshmen and JV will play on Wednesday. Freshmen at Woods, JV at Langham. Game times are still 4:30 and 6:30. In the event that only one game can be played, it will take place at 5:30.
