Cypress Creek went from being a player in the race for the District 17-5A title to trying to salvage its season.
It hasn’t been a pretty 2011 for the Cougars.
Cy Creek started the season 2-0 overall and looked like it could be in the running for a district title and a playoff spot. That isn’t the case now. The Cougars lost four straight until a 25-14 win over Cy Lakes on Saturday.
“At the very minimum, we feel a little bit better about ourselves and maybe we can use this as a springboard to move on to better things,” Cy Creek coach Greg McCaig said.

Hand the ball off to John Jacob, don’t make mistakes and play exceptional on defense. That’s been the recipe for success at Cy-Fair this season and it worked yet again Saturday at Pridgeon Stadium.
The victim this time was Cy Creek.
Cy-Fair beat the Cougars, 17-3 in District 17-5A action, staying undefeated on the year. The Bobcats stayed true to their philosophy, which is play great defense. They now haven’t allowed a touchdown in three of their four games this season.
“Any win in our district is a big win because every opponent you play is going to be a difficult chore,” Cy-Fair head coach Ed Pustejovsky said. “Our guys came out and played well on both sides of the ball, the first half especially.

The highlight reel that is Cypress Creek tailback Devan Demas was absent Friday night at Pridgeon Stadium.
Demas was on the sideline with an ankle injury, forced to watch his Cougars fall to Cy Falls, 20-13 in District 17-5A action.
Demas, who is headed to Boise State next fall, is a catalyst for the Cougars offensively. He rolled his ankle last week against Cy Woods. Coaches were hoping he’d be ready by Friday’s game, but they also didn’t want to rush him and cause more damage, considering it’s still early in the year.

Donning his helmet, Devan Demas paced along the sideline. As the first half of the showdown against Cypress Falls played out, the Cypress Creek running back was antsy to take the field.
But coach Greg McCaig ultimately opted to sit his standout rusher, who was nursing an ankle injury. With Boise State commit Demas sidelined, Cy Falls’ defense stonewalled the Cougars’ running back-by-committee attack en route to a 20-13 win at Pridgeon Stadium.

One week after he almost stunned the defending BCS champions in his collegiate debut, Chuckie Keeton won his first game as Utah State's starting quarterback.
Keeton, a Cypress Creek High School graduate, passed for two touchdowns and rushed for one more as Utah State defeated Weber State, 54-17, in the Aggies' home opener.
Utah State led Auburn by two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the season opener two weekends ago. The Tigers rallied for two touchdowns to win in the final seconds to keep Utah State from pulling off one of the season's biggest upsets.

Cypress Creek football coach Greg McCaig was named the Houston Texans Coach of the Week after the Cougars’ 21-17 win over Klein Oak in Zero Week.
The win was a thrilling one. Cy Creek’s Devan Demas scored with 28 seconds left to seal the victory.
Texans representatives presented McCaig with the awards — a $1,000 grant for the Cy Creek football program, a Coach of the Week hat and a certificate signed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Texans coach Gary Kubiak — last Thursday.

A late rally by one of college football's best teams spoiled true freshman Chuckie Keeton's debut as the Utah State University quarterback.
The entire nation watched Keeton nearly lead the Aggies to a big upset. However, the teams in Western Athletic Conference instantly are on notice.
The 2011 Cypress Creek High School graduate may eventually be the worst nightmare for all of them.
Defending BCS champion Auburn scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes to rally for a 42-38 victory over Utah State Saturday afternoon. The game aired live on ESPN2.

Cypress Creek receiver Sam Adams wasn’t having a good night in his opinion. He didn’t have any catches for most of the game.
Until he made the one catch his teammates will remember for a long time.
Cy Creek beat Klein Oak, 21-17, in what turned out to be a wild one Saturday at the Berry Center.
The Cougars were down 17-14 after an amazing 51-yard field goal from Klein Oak’s Kwame Kuffour with 2:20 left in the game.
Things weren’t looking up for the Cougars, but on 4th and 11 with a little under a minute left in the game, Brandon Pryor threw a lateral pass to receiver Kyle Huff who then chunked it down the field Adams to make a fingertip grab for 39 yards. That set up a 10-yard touchdown run by running back Devan Demas with 28 seconds left, which gave Cy Creek the win.

Cypress Creek suffered just about every misfortune possible in its season opener against Klein Oak on Saturday, from interceptions and fumbles lost to a blocked field goal try and a blocked punt.
But none of those setbacks compared to the Panthers losing standout quarterback Nicky Baratti in the first half. The Notre Dame commit took a blow to the helmet and didn't return to the Berry Center turf.
In the end, the Cougars pulled out a wild 21-17 victory, coming back to score in the final seconds after the Panthers' improbable 51-yard field goal gave them their first lead with 2:20 left in the game.

1. Who is the dark horse in one of the toughest districts in all of Houston? Watch out for Langham Creek this year. The Lobos have an explosive offense and plenty of experience with 16 starters returning to compete with the district heavyweights. They were one win away from a playoff spot last year and are considered long shots due to how competitive the district is but the experience they have could be the difference in 2011.

Scoring quickly is rarely a bad thing for Cypress Creek football head coach Greg McCaig.
That tends to happen too with players like running back Devan Demas and tight end Jarred Gipson.
The Cougars – along with most teams in District 17-5A – hit the field for practice Monday with high hopes for 2011.
Two of the reasons for those high hopes are Demas and Gipson. The dynamic playmakers are entering their senior seasons. Both will be playing in the same conference during their college careers, too. Demas is committed to Boise State and Gipson is headed to Nevada.

A college football rivalry nearly 2,000 miles away is heating up between a pair of Cy Creek High football standouts.
“Now (Devan Demas and I are) teammates,” Cy Creek High senior wide receiver/tight end Jarred Gipson said. “But when the season’s over with, it’s on.”
Gipson verbally committed to the University of Nevada, and Demas – the reigning Class 5A-District 17 rushing leader – pledged to rival, Boise State.
“It’s going to be fun,” Demas said.
Boise State played in the Western Athletic Conference from 2001-10, but they’ll debut in the Mountain West Conference this fall. Nevada will depart the WAC in 2012 for the MWC.
