POSTGAME
- All Cypress Woods as the Wildcats improve to 2-0 on the season. Clear Lake drops to 0-2.
HALFTIME
- It's been the Darien Rogers show in the first half. The Cy Woods QB has three rushing TDs and has passed for another score.
Gotta be honest, it’s gonna be hard for anyone to overtake Cy Woods QB Darien Rogers (5-11, 255 pounds) as my favorite Texas high school football player this season. #TXHSFB
