CYPRESS – Cy Ranch finished off the perfect regular season.
The Mustangs needed just one more win to go a perfect 10-0 and to do that had to slow down the best offensive unit in District 14-6A.
Logan McDougald passed for 199 yards and one score, Donovan Johnson had two interceptions, including a 68-yard pick six, and Cy Ranch defeated Tomball Memorial 35-14 on Thursday at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium.
“It’s awesome, it seems like so long ago that we started,” Cy Ranch coach Gene Johnson said. “It’s a grind, to be at the and it’s very exciting to be 10-0.”
Cy Ranch (10-0, 8-0) completes an undefeated regular season for the second time in program history. The Mustangs last went 10-0 in 2016.
With the victory, Cy Ranch also claimed the District 14-6A Championship. This is the third time in the past five seasons the Mustangs have claimed a district title.
“I’m proud of our kids,” Johnson said. “To me that says something about the kids. It wasn’t just one year when we had a bunch of talent and we won. We’ve had some other kids that have come behind that and follow that up. I can’t speak highly enough of my players and the kids in the program.”
