Welcome, Coach Simper!

Ladies and gentlemen, a new era of Cypress Woods Wildcat football is upon us and the new man tasked to lead us into this new era is Cody Simper.

Coach Simper comes to Cy Woods from Veterans Memorial High School in Corpus Christi, where he established that program as the head football coach and campus athletic coordinator. Under his direction, the Eagles have evolved into one of the best programs in South Texas, culminating their rise into one of the best programs in all of Texas with a state semifinal appearance this past season. 

In ten seasons as a head coach between Veterans Memorial and Ray High Schools, both in Corpus, Coach Simper has an overall record of 80-38. He has also coached in Cy-Fair ISD in the past as he was the offensive coordinator at Cypress Springs from 2008 until 2010. 

Welcome to Cy Woods, Coach Simper. You have worked tirelessly to earn your reputation as a top football coach in Texas and the Cypress Woods community is excited to have you on board.

Welcome

Welcome to the first Cy Woods football blog! My name is Dustin, and before we kick things off, I would like tell you a little about myself.

I was a former player; I graduated from Woods in 2010. I was a cornerback and had a thoroughly unremarkable career which ended when I tore my ACL during my senior year, before the game against Cy-Fair. Yes, that actually happened. That's all I have to say on that matter. I don't enjoy talking about myself very much, to be honest.

This was me, when I thought I was a football player. I'm #22.

I enjoyed my time as a Wildcat football player and now, as a fan, I enjoy seeing what the coaching staff and the players, past and present, have built up. Coach Jones laid the foundation 8 years ago, and now Coach Faith is building upon it. Cy Woods is still a relatively new school, but in its short history, the Wildcats have quickly established themselves as a football power in Cy-Fair ISD.

I have a great deal of respect for the coaching staff, especially Coach Zachos and Coach Neill. I'm glad that they gave me the opportunity to be a part of something truly special during my 4 years as a Wildcat. Coach Faith has been a welcome addition to the Wildcat family, and as I have gotten to know him a little better, I am also extremely glad that he has become an integral part of this program.

Some may be unfamiliar with the history of this team, which is totally understandable. With this blog, my aim is to inform those who are unfamiliar with said history, to go along with what the Wildcats of today are doing. This blog came about because I feel that the Cats have built up a large enough following through the years.

Also, I have the tendency to be a smartass. Just go with it. Play along. I mean absolutely no disrespect when I'm being a smartass.... unless you think that I am. Honestly, that really isn't my problem. I call things like I see them.

Well, that's all I've got. I bet you didn't even read this. That's alright. In this age of social media, not many people these days seem to want to read something this long. So let's get to it.
