Cy falls sqt

[forest99]

so here are the pools now who will advance in the first 7on7 tournament of the year.
POOL A- Cy Falls, Waller, Cy Ranch, Jersey Village
POOL B- Cy Fair, Tomball, Cy Springs, Klein Collins
POOL C- Cy Woods, Spring, Alief Taylor, Langham Creek
POOL D- Klein Forest, Baytown Lee, Cy Creek, Stratford

In my (not perfect) opinion, I say: Cy Falls, Klein Collins, Spring, Klein Forest are your pool winners.

[ChanSHS]

Spring won't win.

[rodjohns]

KF and Spring will qualify

[has09]

I don't believe KF and Spring can qualify since they'd meet in the semis

[forest99]

Ya, if Spring and Klein Forest meet in the semi-finals that will be one helluva game!!

[forest99]

Spring won't win.

Why would Spring not win?? You obviously havent seen their offense lately.

[forest99]

here is a good article on the tournament, this is the only one i have seen so far. so thanks to www.texasprepinsider.com

[KT2000]

I see home cooking is alive and well this year in the SQTs. Nice pool D!

[has09]

I didnt see an article on TPI? forest that looks like a link to the admin panel?

[has09]

I googled and haven't found anything on this years tournament, I did find a story on TPI from last year by Jay Darneal. Nothing this year, that site has gone downhill fast

[rodjohns]

I don't believe KF and Spring can qualify since they'd meet in the semis

Unless A plays D and B plays C...:D

[has09]

touche, need to find someone with the tournament setup

[has09]

NM I found the story on this years tournament. good stuff

[forest99]

Ok, sorry I fixed that link, and here it is again.

It will be interesting to see how Klein Collins, Tomball and Spring do the following week at the Houston Chavez/Texans SQT...they will have a one tourney advantage over district rival Klein...

Forest99 do you know if Darneal is going to do a write up on that tourney? ;) How do you think Klein will do this 7 on 7 season?

[forest99]

Well he usually does a write-up every weekend for Houston area 7 on 7 tournaments so Im guessing that he will. And Klein was terrific last summer and dont they return quite a bit (QB Crum, QB Peebles, RB Johnson, RB Barnes, TE/LB Kisseberth)

[Jayhawker]

Tomball over Spring
"To be the Man, you got to beat The Man" and Leslie is the Man in this pool.

[rodjohns]

Tomball over Spring
"To be the Man, you got to beat The Man" and Leslie is the Man in this pool.

The only question for Tomball is who is going to throw to "the man"?

[KT2000]

The only question for Tomball is who is going to throw to "the man"?

The Man

[rodjohns]

The Man

Nice...he will be after this season unless he does not throw to the man...

[forest99]

i doubt they will show anything this summer, but dont be surprised to see leslie at some qb this fall either.

[forest99]

hey KT, what are your predictions for this tournament???

[KT2000]

so here are the pools now who will advance in the first 7on7 tournament of the year.
POOL A- Cy Falls, Waller, Cy Ranch, Jersey Village
POOL B- Cy Fair, Tomball, Cy Springs, Klein Collins
POOL C- Cy Woods, Spring, Alief Taylor, Langham Creek
POOL D- Klein Forest, Baytown Lee, Cy Creek, Stratford

In my (not perfect) opinion, I say: Cy Falls, Klein Collins, Spring, Klein Forest are your pool winners.

Give me..

Pool A- Falls
Pool B- Fair/Collins winner
Pool C- Langham/Spring winner
Pool D- Creek/Forest winner

If the C and D winners aren't playing in the semis, I'll take those two as the qualifiers. Otherwise, Falls probably goes with whoever emerges from C/D.

Creek and Langham are usually good at 7 on 7 when they have some talent and they've both got experience to work with this year.

Forest and Spring usually have the talent to compete.

[rodjohns]

Well he usually does a write-up every weekend for Houston area 7 on 7 tournaments so Im guessing that he will. And Klein was terrific last summer and dont they return quite a bit (QB Crum, QB Peebles, RB Johnson, RB Barnes, TE/LB Kisseberth)

Klein will be good again this year and yes everyone returns. Our first tourney this year is the Texans. The Cy Falls tourney is always full, does not matter when I call or email...answer is always the same. Sorry we are full...but that is cool, I understand how the game is played.

By the way does anyone know if a QB can play with a hard cast? there is no contact and it is not his throwing hand. Anyone seen a guy play with a hard cast in an SQT?

yes they can play with a hard cast on (at least I had a player with one on and it was ok last year) but was told even if he accidentally touches somebody with the hard cast he will be ejected, no questions.

[rodjohns]

thx. I guess I need to have our backup QB ready to go...

[ChanSHS]

Why would Spring not win?? You obviously havent seen their offense lately.

I know the offense.

They still don't have a real QB yet.

[forest99]

I know the offense.

They still don't have a real QB yet.

I'm not sure you need anything more than an average hs quarterback to get the ball to guys like arthur londy, darel haynes, and corey phillips.

[cyfallsbooster2]

Creek takes Tomball in the final.:ninja:

[KT2000]

Creek takes Tomball in the final.:ninja:

Which one? ;)

[cyfallsbooster2]

Which one? ;)

I guess you have to be from the district to understand us.

Creek = Cy Creek
Langham = Cy Langham
:D

[KT2000]

I guess you have to be from the district to understand us.

Creek = Cy Creek
Langham = Cy Langham
:D

Creek and Langham have the makings of good 7 on 7 teams with the returning skill talent. They are usually good at it.

[cyfallsbooster2]

Creek and Langham have the makings of good 7 on 7 teams with the returning skill talent. They are usually good at it.

Both usually are very good at 7o7. Langham surprised me a little last year and proved to have a very good group of kids that competed well. Like you say, they both are returning an outstanding group of kids. At this point I take Creek to beat Langham and Tomball to beat Falls in the semi's, if it winds up A/B and C/D. Do the pool matchups ever change or is it always A/B and C/D?

Surprisingly, Fair usually does well in 7o7. But they run more of the "basketball" plays and just chip away at the yardage keeping the ball moving and away from the opponent.

[11swingin']

so here are the pools now who will advance in the first 7on7 tournament of the year.
POOL A- Cy Falls, Waller, Cy Ranch, Jersey Village
POOL B- Cy Fair, Tomball, Cy Springs, Klein Collins
POOL C- Cy Woods, Spring, Alief Taylor, Langham Creek
POOL D- Klein Forest, Baytown Lee, Cy Creek, Stratford

In my (not perfect) opinion, I say: Cy Falls, Klein Collins, Spring, Klein Forest are your pool winners.

Cy Falls, Tomball, Langham Creek, Cy Creek.

[forest99]

your dead on right kt with the creeks. langham has bryant back at qb with the brothers at wr. the only question there is who got the head coaching job and how quickly will the players feel comfortablewith the new system? for cy creek they bring in a new qb but have even more talent at wr and rb like selders and mitchem. they lost their oc here recently but the offensive scheme should stay the same.

[forest99]

I have seen probably 25 or so 7on7 tournaments and have never seen anything except pools a vs b and pools c vs d in the semi-finals.

[KT2000]

Me either, but someone appeared to hint it might be different earlier. I probably missed the joke.

It was me...I put the :D at the end I thought you guys would know better coming from me...A always plays B and C always plays D...

It's things like that that keep you out of the Falls SQT's.:eek:


:D

[forest99]

ouch rod, that was a low one from falls! plus we already know why falls doesnt like you! only yall and them know what really happened there so Im not going to pretend like I know! lol

[waymont]

It will be Langham all the way. They have so much of their talent back I will be disappointed if they dont take it all. Falls right there behind us!

[rodjohns]

ouch rod, that was a low one from falls! plus we already know why falls doesnt like you! only yall and them know what really happened there so Im not going to pretend like I know! lol

We love each other...there is nothing wrong with the Klein / Falls relationship...they are just always full in their SQT..go figure.

ya, thats it rod! but ironically later in the week when somebody else calls they have an opening! lol

[fballer00]

I'm not sure you need anything more than an average hs quarterback to get the ball to guys like londy, livingston, ridgeway, haynes, and phillips.

Correct me if I'm wrong? But wasn't Livingston a receiver for Dekaney last year? He was one of the better players on the team after watching Oak playing them this year. And if so what was the transfer for, i thought UIL had rules about that stuff or is he getting any penalty for the move?

[rodjohns]

uh oh...

[forest99]

uh oh...

thanks rod!

[rodjohns]

thanks rod!

[fballer00]

uh oh...

Well by that answer i'm guessing he is the player I'm thinking of??

[forest99]

Well by that answer i'm guessing he is the player I'm thinking of??

Well he also has a brother so I guess you will have to come out to the Cy Falls SQT to find out.

[has09]

here is a GREAT preview!

http://hstexas.scout.com/2/864003.html

ya, too bad theres a few team writeups that look exactly like one that was posted 5 days earlier! lol (klein forest and baytown lee look like he just copied and pasted what the other guy wrote!) not to mention their main picture for the article is of a guy who isnt even playing football right now.

[rodjohns]

Not quit sure what you guys are seeing with Klein Collins...I guess we will see tomorrow.

[has09]

wow, I sense tension in the ranks :)

I imagine the 7 on 7 previews would be similar across the board. TOC version looks to give a little more love to each team. I understand the TPI preview guy lives in Houston so I would venture he may have a little more up to the minute news. For me the more info the better, anyone wanna come to Abilene June 13?? Still got a spot open :)

[forest99]

I'm out of town so if anybody has any updates please post. i wish i could have been there, but its cy falls sqt.......or.....atlanta braves game and i get to be on the field.....hmmmmm..

[has09]

According to the old coach site Cy Fair and Langham Creek qualified

[What it takes]

Langham Creek beat Cy Fair 42-7 in the final. Langham Creek went 5-0 and beat Cy Creek 55-30 in the semis.

[rodjohns]

Wow...congrats to both Cy Fair and Langham Creek.

[What it takes]

Heard LC beat all opponents by 8 or more and never trailed in a game. Not sure where you can get all the scores. I was told the semi and final game scores by someone who went the Falls.

[forest99]

apparently lc dominated all day long:

pool play-
lc 49 alief taylor 32
lc 41 spring 33
lc 41 cy woods 25

semi-finals
lc 55 cy creek 20
championship
lc 40 cy fair 6

that tells me that spring must have a pretty good team also to be that close to them and that langham creek is going to be really good!

Thanks for posting scores. Hopefully those will be posted weekly; TPI did a good job last year but with their current situation I can't see that continuing.

[has09]

You'll probably have to use a few different sources for 7 on 7 information, TPI still has some Houston guys in place so you'll be able to get that info. Theoldcoach should have strong DFW coverage since both Matt's are there, they also have Robert Sellers who used to work for TPI so I bet they have a little bit in H Town. There's another site called lone star gridiron that usually has some cen tex stuff, the iinfo is out there may just have to look a little harder

[CyFallsMom]

I don't go to 7 on 7 because I don't put a ton of stock into it but these numbers by LC can't be ignored. I have a feeling, with Coach Thompson at the helm, they are going to have a great year. It's been a while for them too.

I think all the 15-5a teams will need to watch out for them...they have a great receiving corps and the QB isn't too shabby either. Not sure how we will do but, typically, we aren't that great in 7 on 7 so it doesn't surprise me that we bombed. We did in 2005 too - and took Katy to the limit in the regional finals that year! 7 on 7 doesn't always equate to great success down the line but in LC's case, it's possible if they bring a good defense as well.

Klein plays Falls first game on Sunday...If Klein wins, 7 on 7 is very important if we lose it does not mean much...:D

[Jayhawker]

looks like 15-5A took to everyone.

[CyFallsMom]

Klein plays Falls first game on Sunday...If Klein wins, 7 on 7 is very important if we lose it does not mean much...:D

I wouldn't go to one if we won every time. I just don't care for 7 on 7 nor do I use it as much of a barometer for success. In 2005, everyone was talking down on Falls after not making 7 on 7 finals then losing the first two games. I think someone like Katy Taylor won that year. We went to regional finals.

It's touch/flag football and not even a complete team at that. It does help the offense get some practice in before real football starts so that's a plus. Just not something I want to go see. I do think LC will be very competitive this coming season. It sounds like they were impressive over the weekend though - touch/flag FB or not.

[jc84chill]

Thanks for posting scores. Hopefully those will be posted weekly; TPI did a good job last year but with their current situation I can't see that continuing.

What's going on over at TPI? I've seen this kind of sentiment posted in a couple spots on the board here recently...

[dada]

Losing a lot of writers....Matt Diggs is now with The Old Coach.....guys are dropping like flies.

[jc84chill]

So from Rivals to Scout and back to Rivals.

Wow...one would think I'd know more about this, but I don't really pay attention to what's going on over there until something is brought to my attention.

I've always enjoyed Diggs' DFW work. I could have done without the seemingly constant bashing of our site by Diggs and Alan Z on TPI, but hey...it is what it is.

Is Alan Z alone on the operation now?

Of course the irony is I believe in 2006 when Cy Falls went to state they also went to the quarter-finals in 7 on 7 right?? Or something similar?

Ahmad Vital...formerly of Athletes Connection is there.....but like you...I really don't keep up....I only know because I was "courted" by a certain site.

I think they still have Ahmard, Alan is out also from what I heard

Oh snap...look at you big dog! :D

Although, there aren't any "get out" clauses in your contract with 5ATXFB. Don't blame me...fire your agent.

My contract with 5ATXFB is signed in blood.......they only way out is death! You guys are stuck with me...lol

[rodjohns]

I think they still have Ahmard, Alan is out also from what I heard

I saw both Alan and Ahmard at the Austin Combine...so unless Alan left Sunday or Monday he is still there..

[has09]

From what I inferred from talking to a guy on scout Alan is still with scout but is doing recruiting only and the guy who runs the A&M scout site took TPI over

[waymont]

LC did dominate! It was good watching them play. Spring did put a scare on them but they came out the second half and put the game away and there was no looking back!

[CyFallsMom]

Of course the irony is I believe in 2006 when Cy Falls went to state they also went to the quarter-finals in 7 on 7 right?? Or something similar?


I have no idea. I've never gone to one - even when the Eagles were playing. I wait for the real deal - 22 players on the field.:) Now, I did hear that Katy did very well a couple of years ago and won state so the correlation is there at times - just not as much as one would think.

[has09]

I read somewhere that almost 70% of the teams who make the state tournament in 7 on 7 are playoff teams and more than half historically win at least one playoff game. Pretty strong if you ask me

Look at last year's champs

Allen: did not make state
Katy: made state
Lake Travis: made state
Sulphur Springs: made state
Prosper: made state
Carthage: made state

solid evidence at least for 2008 there was success in it, but it varies year to year

[LCDude]

Pretty good news for Langham. I was a little worried because as of a couple of weeks ago it didn't look like Will Bryant was going to be playing. The story was that he had a NHS fundraiser (he's the Pres) to attend and he was going to miss 7 on 7. Apparently he didn't.
