[CyFair'86]

Cy Fair 61 Cy Creek 35

Sam McGuffie had an unbelievable performance tonight. 375 yds rushing, 8 td's, and he breaks 2000 yds rushing for the season.

He had 100+ yds and 3 touchdowns in the first four minutes of the game. The radio announcers have been gushing over this performance as they should be.

Congratulations to the Bobcats and Sam McGuffie.

how many carries?:eek:

[CyFair'86]

how many carries?:eek:

The post game didn't say, but from the notes I did take he had 100+ yds and 3 td's in the first four minutes of the game. 1st carry of the game is a 68yd td run. He also had td runs of 13, 32, 37, 20 yds. The radio announcer said on the 20 yd one that he hurdled a defender that was standing straight up. I don't know if I quite believe that one, but I wasn't there.

either way.. 2000 yds is a great feat.. no matter how you slice it.... congrats to him... he deserves it...:eek:

[CyFair'86]

Yep it was a great game. I should of have been there, but no I decided to come home and make some cookies for a party I'm going to tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder if I should have admited that. LOL!!

[CyFallsMom]

OMG - Definition of Sam McGuffie - AMAZING, STUPENDOUS, Able to leap large linemen in a single bound!! Yes, another hurdle play for the great one! I am so impressed by this kid - I was trying to get pictures of him tonight but he moves so fast I couldn't keep up with him!! I had to take them when he was standing still:rolleyes:

Thank you Thank you Thank you Pit Crew for the sideline passes and the great t-shirt - my husband had so much fun hanging out with Doc and the team and he met Sam so his night was complete thanks to your generosity. I totally enjoyed meeting you and Mrs. Pit Crew and hanging with all of the rest of your crew - you are all good people! Watching Sam was just an amazing thing - I really hope Cy Fair goes far into the playoffs - not only for the team but for the very nice fans over there.

I'm not a traitor at all - still love those Eagles more than any other team anywhere - but I did buy a Maroon hoodie so I wouldn't be so conspicuous:p

[CyFair'86]

CyFalls Mom was an announcement ever made about Sam surpassing the 2000 yd mark?

[CyFallsMom]

Yes, he did - he had 246 at the half and had just enough to go over 2,000 - his grandfather was sitting in front of us - he was pretty excited. He had over 300 yards - I think he finally came out near the end...amazing feat

[CyFair'86]

Did they anounce it on the PA at the stadium? I never heard it announce during the game or during post game. The radio announcers kept on mentioning that there had been no announcement of Sam surpassing 2000yds.

[CyFallsMom]

no they never did - but my husband was on the sidelines and they said he had passed it - they really should have announced it - he deserved to get a standing ovation for that. Imagine what his stats will be after next season - he could break all sorts of records.

[NSStangs#1fan]

270 yrd 5 TDs on 12 carries all in the 1st quarter?!?! .... Ahhh I've seen better. :D just kidding!Man that's amazing!

[CyFallsMom]

I believe he ended up with 376 yards and he only needed something like 365 - he is so amazing...he can stop on a dime and redirect his run and those defenses just can't get a hold of him. I guess his 220 against us was just a bad evening for him:p Actually, we had a hard time getting him too. Our game with Cy Fair was so evenly matched and I think both teams were winners that night...there really wasn't a loser. The only thing that may hurt Cy Fair in the P.O's is lack of passing game but with a night like tonight, who needs that:eek:

I did feel sorry for the Cy Creek boys - they were trying so hard to the bitter end and their fans didn't pack it up and leave them out to dry - most of them stayed until the end of the game. Kudos to them for supporting their team through thick and thin.

[CyFallsMom]

270 yrd 5 TDs on 12 carries all in the 1st quarter?!?! .... Ahhh I've seen better. just kidding!Man that's amazing!

First play of the game - a 70 yard TD run by Sam...then he just kept going like the Energizer bunny. I am a BIG fan of this kid now....now that we are done playing them:rolleyes: Thank goodness for small favors.

[CyFair'86]

That's a shame that the fans didn't know he surpassed the 2000 yds milestone. Some PR people were asleep at the wheel.

[ktchamp97]

Sam McGuffie is one bad, bad man!

Well according to the Chronicle article on Wednesday Sam had 1,644 yds to date which meant he needed 356 yds to surpass 2000 yds. So Sam ot an extra 20 yds to be safe.

I also heard that DJ Harper had over 200 yds. How often can you rush for 200+ yds and be completely overshadowed by the oppossing team's RB?

[CyFair'86]

Sam McGuffie is one bad, bad man!

I really hope he gets a legitimate shot at a big time college program.

[CyFallsMom]

I don't know his yardage for sure - he had a few longer runs and, in a normal game, would have been pretty impressive. Any 200 yard game is impressive. He was a just a little overshadowed this evening. Not taking anything away from him though - he is a very talented running back.

[KT2000]

He's one of the very best I've seen in person.

[CyFallsMom]

I really hope he gets a legitimate shot at a big time college program.

The only thing that would hold him back would be his size but, if I were a coach, I'd have him at the top of my list anyway. Cy Fair has a great O-Line and they must be given some of the credit but he manufactures a lot of yardage on his own too. It was interesting watching from the perspective I was tonight...I was sitting right there with all the Cy Fair fans and taking it in from their perspective - two weeks ago I was yelling "GET HIM, GRAB HIM - DO SOMETHING!!!":) . Makes you have a whole different opinion of someone when you are hanging out in their neighborhood.

[CyFair'86]

He's one of the very best I've seen in person.

Yes I think I'll be going to next fridays game. No darn cookie baking for me next week.

Heck I'm getting so excited about Cy Fair and Sam I'll be willing to travel for the playoff games. It'll be like my senior year twenty years ago. I know we played Odessa Permian in Dallas in the state semi finals in 85, and I think we also played in Waco. Way to far back for me to remember where all playoff games were played that post season.

Yep, but as long as he continues this way I think he'll get some looks from the big boys. He may be small but he runs hard, and I've never seen him go down on the first hit. He bounces off defenders very well, and has great balance. I was at the Cy Falls game, and I thought Cy Falls did a relatively good job on containing Sam in the first half, but in the second half he and the fullback were routinely getting ten yds a pop. He just keeps getting stronger in the later parts of a game.

[ktchamp97]

With his skill set, his size should be of zero concern. Fozzy Whitaker from Pearland is roughly the same size and has already committed to Texas. Sam should, and likely will, get serious looks from all of the top schools.

[CyFair'86]

How's recruiting work now? I know there is an early signing period. When can today's junior players start signing with colleges? Can they sign before their senior years or is it only verbal commitments until the senior season is done?

[Pit Crew]

Now that I just got home from unloading all the Band gear, CyFallsMom you are welcome. What a night ! If you ever want to hang out with our Pit Crew again, let me know. Save me a seat for . . . . you know the game I want to see ! I might even go get me a green . . . . nope, can't do that. Hehehe!

[CyFallsMom]

Now now - if I can go out and purchase a new maroon hoodie, you can too - it really didn't hurt as much as I thought:p

And any time you want to come watch our Eagles, you are more than welcome to sit with us and we will even get your tickets! I owe you one:)

[CyFallsMom]

They are getting ready to do something on Sam on FSN!!

[CyFair'86]

They are getting ready to do something on Sam on FSN!!

Ok I just got to FSN high school report. Have they shown Sam yet?

[CyFallsMom]

They just announced on FSN that Sam is 33 yards shy of 2000. Guess the info being given out at the game was incorrect (or my husband heard it wrong!!). I would go with that second choice - there was a lot of excitement down there. I guess that's why it wasn't announced. I hope they announce it next week when he does do it on the first or second run;)

And, yes, they had a piece on him - most of the highlights were of Cy Creek which was odd but they did show the hurdle play - TWICE

[CyFair'86]

Darn it I missed it. Well if they say he is shy 33 yds then the someone has been way off on his yardage for the season, the game or both.

[CyFair'86]

Is there any website with official stats on players that I can check out?

Ok I guess they got an update. FSN report for Sam. 28 carries for 376 yds and goes over 2000 yds. That's a 13.4 ypc average.

[CyFallsMom]

I guess we are the only one's still awake watching!! Yes, he did surpass 2000 (so those who reported it originally are vindicated:) ) and DJ had 21 rushes for 235 - also very impressive indeed. They showed that Sam hurdle a total of FOUR times - I think they were all shocked but I know I've seen him do it 3 times - it's the highlight of the game usually!

Someone needs to be at the games with a high quality video camera. then they need to post on outube for beginners. That way everyone could see what a special kid he is.

I found an Aggie message board that claims Sam wants to be an Aggie bad. I also saw in that same board that all the big 12 schools have made offers. I doubt it. Heck I know they can'tmake offers at this point in time.

[bobcatDL07]

i'll try to get that hurdle play on youtube and post it BECAUSE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK. he literally jumped over a 6 foot tall defender that was standing almost upright and waltz into the TD zone. wow....

on the other hand, cy-fair defense was a little shaky tonight... to be a top contender in the playoffs we need to do a hella lot better

has 8 rushing TD's been done before or wuts the record

let me know when you get it....I would love to see it.


Oh yeah....not to pat myself on the back or anything, but last year after the Westfield games....did I or did I not call it....lol...I said Look out for the McGuffie kid.....:D

[CyFallsMom]

I found an Aggie message board that claims Sam wants to be an Aggie bad.

If so, he'll be there with what seems to be half of this years Falls team:) :) . The Aggies may turn into CFISD NW!!

I think the FSN scoreboard show is on again at 9:00 this morning - they showed the hurdle play no less than 3 times. I have it on DVR.

[ktCarl]

Is there any website with official stats on players that I can check out?

Ditto from me. Do you Cy-Fair'ers have a website with video of Bobcat hi-lites and SM's TD's?

[Roadrunnerbia]

Wow that game was unbelieveable Sam is amazing

[78 Spartan]

You know, every year there's a story about some kid from Pigsknuckle, West Virginia who runs for ridiculous yardage and scores a bunch of touchdowns in their 2A showdown against South Pigsknuckle. It makes national headlines because of the raw power of the statistics.

Here we have a game on that level in statistical terms, and was accomplished against a pretty solid 5A Texas football team. Truly amazing.

Gotta be the performance of the year. Sam had to have locked up first team all-state with that performance. I don't think there is any doubt that he is the player of the year in the Greater Houston area.

I'd like to see Cy Fair make its run through the playoffs and see what he can do against the North Shore defense. If that game materializes, all of us are going to want to be there.

[78 Spartan]

The Aggies may turn into CFISD NW!!

Since when would that be a news story?? I always thought that's where most of the Cy Fair kids went anyway. Gig 'em Bobcats.

Oh, he can jump. He did it aginst us(Falls). He can make any defender look downright silly! Waiting to see it on the highlights at 9:00 on FSN High School Scoreboard. He does the high jump in track. Very respectable.

[CyFair'86]

Oh I know he can hurdle defenders, I just thought it a little much to think he hurdled a player that was standing straight up, but I have heard to many reports saying it's true. I'm waiting to catch it myself on FSN.

[CyFair'86]

Ok I saw the play, and it was impressive, but the highlights for the game were weak. You would think with the kind of performance Sam had they could have shown a few more of his runs.

They also said Sam was short of hitting 2000 yds, but they did comeback at the very end of the broadcast saying he reached 2000 yds. Sam is also the first Houston area running back ever to reach 2000 yds during the regular season. Now that's an accomplishment to be proud of!!

[Living Legend]

Is there any online video of him yet? I have yet to see him play this year.

FSN isnt that great...Sam did pass 2000

[CyFair'86]

Here are highlights from Cy Fair's game against Stratford. These are game highlighs not just Sam. Sam's number is 2 if you can make them out.

[sttirf111]

28 Carries 376 Yards 8 Touchdowns..One Hurdle and the most amazing sinlge quarter performance I have ever seen. 12 Carries 270 Yards and 5 TDS in the first quarter alone :eek: . I don't care about his size anyone that says he can't play D1 because of his size are just plain ignorant. Sam will play at a school caliber of Michigan, Flordia, A&M, LSU...and i can't wait to see which one it is!

Hopefully it's somewhere close to home so I can hopefully go see him live. If not a team close to home, hopefully it's one that's on tv alot.

[CyFallsMom]

FSN isnt that great...Sam did pass 2000

I noted that in a previous post - they did an update at the end of the show and said he had, in fact, passed the 2,000 milestone which is very cool.

As for the size comment and saying anyone who says that is ignorant...many schools won't look at smaller guys and that's a given in many minds but it would be a mistake not to in his case...he is only a junior and will get bigger and, dare I say it, better! IMO - he is a future Heisman candidate. I know that he is only in high school and people say "oh he's only going against high school defenses" - he makes some of these good defenses look anemic and I know he has a good O-line but so do a lot of colleges (UT UT UT UT!!). Falls was able to keep him under 250 and that was a bit of an accomplishment:rolleyes: I think any school - big or small - that passes on him or doesn't at least give him a glance is making a huge mistake. I have seen him 3 times this season and each time he has looked better.

[CyFair'86]

Hopefully this year Cy Fair will make a deep playoff run with Sam having monstor games against some great defenses. Then repat this process next year.This would go along way in him getting a better shot at a big school as a RB IMHO.

[bobcatDL07]

just got back from film... sam hurdled a 6 foot tall defender standing almost upright and stuck his cleat on the back of the kids helmet and took off for a td..

* WOULDNT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE OL :D *

[78 Spartan]

Sam will play at a school caliber of Michigan, Flordia, A&M, LSU...and i can't wait to see which one it is!

I remember a smallish, extraordinarily fast, hard-running tailback at LSU in the mid '80s named Sammy Martin, he shared time with Harvey Williams from Hempstead.

McGuffie reminds me of that kid. The more I see of him, I am tending to agree that his talent level will allow him to compete as the next level, probably as a tailback. I am sure that the world is taking note of this junior and that more than just A&M will come a-callin'.

[miami man]

yall want to see why he can hurdle people!I found this on his myspace,check this out!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2R_CwtZxwU

[Pit Crew]

Since I was loading the Band Pit instruments in the 3rd quarter, I missed Sam's amazing leap over the defender. Thanks to High School Sports Live for making it one of their "Plays of the Week". ASSUME!

[CFFS]

[WestlandTiger'95]

OH MY GOD!! :eek: :eek: WOW:eek: :eek: :eek:

and to think he did this againt Cy falls too...not for a touchdown but it was an even bigger defender than the creek db

[Oiler99]

let me start off by sayin that kid is amazing. but im not so sure hes the first to ever reach 2000 during regualr season from the houston area. If any of you all remember Anthony Evans the pearland running back form the late ninety, also known as the runner up to Cedric Benson on the quest of 5a career rushing yards. as i beleive he did it his junior yr when we didnt make the playoffs.

Well I don't know if he's the first Houston area runner to reach 2000 yds in the regular seasons or not, but that's what FSN reported.

[bobcatDL07]

yeah see i was under the same impression, but it seems that theres so many great runninbacks to have come through houston and none of them could break 2000 regular season and Sam has done it with still a game left to play??

[dada]

Well I don't know if he's the first Houston area runner to reach 2000 yds in the regular seasons or not, but that's what FSN reported.
Yamar Washington of St.Pius hit 3,000 one year.....Derrick Arnold of Milby....and I few more...I just can't think of them right now

[cfbobcat]

Omar Conteh of Cy-Fair H.S. Reached 2,000 yards in 2004.

[CyFallsMom]

does that include playoffs too, though? It's been reported that he's the first to do it in the Houston area in the regular season. Either way, he accomplished it in 9 games - I'm very impressed. My husband said he was just impressed with Sam and the whole Cy Fair team when he was on the sidelines with them Friday night - he said the discipline and coaching reminded him of the old Oscar Cripps teams so much. He also said when Sam ran by, he was like a blur and he just said "there's 6 points"!! That was when he was on about the Fair 40.

[dada]

Omar Conteh of Cy-Fair H.S. Reached 2,000 yards in 2004.
WOW...what happended to that guy?

[cfbobcat]

WOW...what happended to that guy?

Cy-Fair did not make the playoffs in 2004 when Conteh ran for 2,000 yards. He not only led the city in rushing but he also led Houston in scoring with 30 touchdowns (or 33, I can't remember). So, he ran for 2,000 in ten games. Omar is now at Northwestern University.

WOW.....I remember that now. Any one have a link to Texas high school single season rushing leaders? I know there has been more 2000 yd rushers.

[Roadrunnerbia]

That game was outrageous !! Sam leaped a guy that right there made my day

[FBMom]

If I hadn't seen Sam leap Josh Smith (#15 Cy-Creek) with my own eyes, I would never believe it! Josh is 6' tall...I double checked our roster to be sure. I just feel bad for Josh to be on all these highlight reels for this reason. LOL! Well, if Sam makes if to the NFL, Josh can claim his "brush with greatness" on that play, right? Sam is so exciting to watch. An unusually talented young man.

Since my son plays for Creek, I generally don't post on any boards. However, I have to say that the only time they ran Sam against my son, Sam was tackled for a 3 yard loss...Sam's only loss of yardage for the night. (Pardon me for braggin' just a little.;) )

Our season hasn't turned out like we had hoped. As one poster said, the Creek defense has struggled. However, DJ Harper has had a very good year in spite of it all and should still be a D1 player next year. My son committed to Baylor preseason.

Since we have played with and against so many of the Fair and Falls kids for many, many years, we will be in the stands cheering you all on. We hope you represent 17-5A for SEVERAL rounds. Good luck, guys!!!!

[CyFallsMom]

What a great first post! Welcome to the board and I think you most definitely do have bragging rights there. Not many have even been able to get their hands on Sam, much less tackle him for a loss. Congrats on Baylor too! I wish I could say I had a son playing but I am just as proud of my trombone player who has spent many hours on football fields - just in a different uniform:) . And he's still doing it in college!

I'm sure the boys at Fair and Falls will appreciate your kind words. There is nothing like going to a 17-5a playoff game and seeing letter jackets of all of the schools. I even got a Cy Fair shirt last Friday (thanks Pit Crew!) that I will wear to their games...I support them all!! I wish Cy Creek had been able to get in too - they always make for an exciting football game and, even with the loss Friday, they were still playing their hearts out to the end. It's just such a tough district even with 4 teams going. DJ is just amazing and it's a shame his 200+ yards was so overshadowed last week.

[Tailwheel]

Hey FBMom-

I think you and I had our 2 big guys going against each other in that game! Just glad both made it out with no injuries.

We'll see you at playoffs. Wish your guy could have made it as well.

Take care.

GO 175a
