Well, the Cypress Woods Wildcats' final regular-season contest pitted them against a Cy Lakes team that is basically back at square one after they bid farewell to a talented senior class. With a playoff spot secured, all Woods needed to do was to get through this game with as little drama as possible and they did exactly that by cruising to a 56-18 victory over a winless Spartan squad. 

Everybody played, no one got hurt. Job well done. Let's get some rest and it's on to the playoffs.

What Happened

It took three plays for Woods to get on the board as Dylan Cormier opened the scoring with a 27-yard run. Cormier then found John Niles for a 12-yard touchdown pass and five minutes later, Parker Childers blocked a Lakes field goal attempt, which Brenton Frizell scooped up and returned 72 yards for another Woods score.

End of 1st Quarter: Cypress Woods 21, Cypress Lakes 0

The second quarter started out a lot like the first one: Dylan Cormier found the end zone with a 17-yard run and then threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Myles Johnson. Trey Craft got in with a six-yard run just before halftime.

Halftime: Woods 42, Lakes 0

Jeremiah Sherrill got the Spartans on the board with a 38-yard touchdown run. KeLan Dove dropped the ball while trying to hold the extra-point kick, but he managed to scoop it up and ran it in for two points. Craft scored again on a nine-yard run, but Lakes scored again thanks to a seven-yard run by Jordan Braud.

End of 3rd Quarter: Woods 49, Lakes 15

Brenden Cantu got loose and scored on a 39-yard run and then Lakes bled out the rest of the clock for a 24-yard field goal by Pasqual Garay. The Spartans ran 19 plays for 60 yards and took 9:43 off the clock on that drive.

Final: Cypress Woods 56, Cypress Lakes 18

Ground

The Wildcats spread out 257 rushing yards among seven different players. Cantu's 39-yard run was Cy Woods' longest offensive play of the evening. It's looking like the run game is hitting its stride at the right time.

Air

Considering that Woods led big for most of the night, they didn't really need to pass the ball. Dylan Cormier completed four passes and two of them resulted in touchdowns. 

Defense

Aside from two long Jeremiah Sherrill runs in which a mix of backups and starters were in, the Spartans never really threatened the Wildcats. 

22 Wildcats recorded at least one tackle and the leader this week was Elijah Nicholas, a backup defensive end who had seven. Chris Agnew, Christian Faulkner, Carson Smith, and Evan Bartkowiak all finished with six as Woods brought everyone in on the action. 

Special Teams

For the second straight week, the Wildcats did not punt. After missing two extra points against Springs, Michael Fernandez bounced back to hit all eight of his chances.

Game Summary from Varsity Wires

- No punts!
- Typical blowout where there's a bunch of guys recording stats.
- It was nice of Lakes to just bleed the rest of the game away in the fourth quarter.
- Not often that Woods gets blown away in terms of time of possession; usually it's the other way around.



Man of the Match

Everyone played, no one got hurt, the Wildcats won easily, job well done.

Sub-Varsity Results

Freshmen 26 (2-0 as a combined team), Cypress Lakes 6
JV (6-1 as a combined team) 42, Cypress Lakes 0

Looking Ahead

The Wildcats will need to wait two weeks before their Road to Arlington begins. It's looking like a trip to Klein Memorial to take on Klein Cain to start.
