Warrior Football Week 10

What a great game Friday night. I was hoping we would have a game where we had to play 4 quarters of good football to win. The added test of coming behind and scoring twice in the 4^th quarter to win will also help down the road. A win on Friday will lock in our second straight district championship and set the stage for us to host our third straight playoff game against Flower Mound.

It was tough to see Billy Nichols, the outstanding QB for Evadale, get hurt. He suffered a very bad concussion on a completely clean play. He was released from the hospital on Saturday afternoon and I am certainly praying that he makes a full recovery. I have great respect for how Evadale played the game and conducted themselves off the field as well.

The mouth piece is the biggest preventer of concussions and I am probably going to purchase more high-end mouthpieces for the playoffs. To date as a football program we have lost over 150 mouth pieces this season.

The theme for the week is Legacy and it is a special week were we honor our seniors at the game and also give them a chance to share with the team. I ask each senior to share his obituary with the team and it has come to be a very special moment before our last home regular season game.

Weekly Theme – Legacy

Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

Thursday Senior Dinner
I will be taking the seniors to dinner on Thursday after practice. We are planning to arrive at Saltgrass Steakhouse just after 6 and should be done by 7:30. I think we have enough seniors that drive that we can get everyone there and home without a problem. If your son cannot attended please let me know

Senior Night
Seniors will be honored before the start of the game on Friday. Coach Martin will be contacting seniors and their parents with additional information. I hope everyone can get to the game early to help send off a great group of seniors.

JV Players
Football players that primarily played on the JV and play very few plays on Friday night can participate in Soccer or Basketball activities that do not conflict with football. Most of these are done on a case by case basis so please encourage your son to talk with me if they have a question.

Thanksgiving Practices
We are a favorite to make it to the semi final round which would be played the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We would not practice on Thanksgiving Day but will practice throughout the rest of the week. I am tentatively planning to practice from 8:30 to 11:00 AM Monday through Wednesday and from 3:30 to 5:30 on Friday. The game that Saturday would most likely be played in the College Station area.

Warrior Football Week 9

When we take the field I also ask your son to play verses his best self. It should not matter who or how good the opponent is we are simply looking to play the best football we can play as a collective group of individuals. We continue to play better each week in every phase of a football game. It is hard to play any team twice but we were able to dominate Bay Area for a second time.

This week will be a tough test as Evadale comes to Cypress. They have had tremendous success since we last played them in 2006 but I do not think they have seen a team as talented as ours.

Weekly Theme – Consistency

Malachi 3:6 “’I the Lord do not change,’…declares the Lord”

We would not practice on Thanksgiving Day but will practice throughout the rest of the week. I am tentatively planning to practice from 8:30 to 11:00 AM Monday through Wednesday and from 3:30 to 5:30 on Friday. The game that Saturday would most likely be played in the College Station area.

Warrior Football Week8

It was a great win at Faith West. Many people had picked them to win our district. We did some very good things and also have a lot that we can learn from. However, the learning is always easier after a big road win.

Weekly Theme – Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourself, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

HS Week 8 Schedule

Friday Game at Bay Area at 7:30 PM bus leaves at 3:30 pm

We will be watching film in the morning at 7AM. We will only go out in helmet and then watch film as part of practice so it will be a little different week.

Middle School Information
We have reached the end of another MS season. I hope you have enjoyed the experience. Every season is filled with ups and downs, positives and negatives, challenges and opportunities and this season was no different. I do welcome your feedback as we continue to build the football program at CCS.

Weekly Theme – Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourself, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Equipment Turn In
B team players will turn in their equipment on Wednesday 10/20 right after school at the field house to Coach Warren. A team players will turn in their equipment on Monday 10/25 right after school at the field house to Coach Warren.

Each player should turn in the following
Helmet
Shoulder pads
Practice pants
Practice jersey
Two game jerseys
Game pants
Your son should have purchased his own leg pads but if not those should be turned in as well. Some players did use their own equipment and that does not need to be turned in to the school.

Varsity Practice
8th grades are welcome to attend varsity practice at the conclusion of their season. They cannot dress for games but it is a great opportunity for them to learn and experience what high school football will be like. We have had several players take advantage of this in the past. If your son would like to do this they can keep their equipment and turn it in to me the following week.

Warriro Football Week 7

It will be homecoming again this Friday as we travel to Faith West. A victory will put us in great shape to return to the playoffs for the third straight year and give us a commanding district lead. Faith West will be a very good opponent and this should be an exciting game. I do recommend that you consider bringing your own chair and bug spray to the game.

This can be a tough part of the season so please encourage your son to persevere and continue to work hard. We have great potential as a football team that we have not yet reached and we want to continue to close the gap until the season ends.

Weekly Theme – Perseverance
2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Middle School
It is hard to believe that the middle school season is coming to an end. Every football season is filled with ups and downs. There have been great plays and disappointment but I have seen steady growth and I am excited about the young football players that we have in the program. Encourage your son to finish strong and persevere to the end.

MS B Game canceled – Pin Oak had to cancel the game because of too many ineligible players.

Football Week 6

It was a great homecoming night and I want to thank everyone that helped in one way or another to make the night possible. It takes a lot of volunteers to pull off a football game and you are always appreciated.
We are starting to see the gap closing in a lot of areas. Certainly as a team but also as many young players continue to step up and get better. Bay area was held to negative yards on the night and the offense put up the second most points in a game since I became the head coach. We are looking more and more like we will be playing our best football at the end of the season which is exactly how it needs to happen.

We will have two weeks to prepare for Faith West who lost to Brazos Christian last Friday and will play at Bay Area this Friday. We have a great opportunity to win our district if we continue to focus on improving both individually and as a team. No matter who the opponent is we are simply looking to close the gap and be the best football team we can be every night.

Weekly Theme – Humility (Yes this one is worth doing twice)
Romans 12:3 “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”

Football For Moms
Saturday, October 9 from 1 to 3 PM. It will be on campus but I am not sure of the actual room yet. I will go over the basics of the game of football, show you some game film and answer questions. If you feel you are a little more advanced I would suggest you come a little late, maybe 1:30 or 2.

Middle School Recap

While the A team came up short Coach Warren was really pleased with the progress the team is making. It is really important in MS to have long term goals and we want to show constant improvement. The B team did pick up a win up in Huntsville and continues to show improvement as well.
