Langham Creek scored on its first five offensive series and returned two interceptions for touchdowns in a 62-35 victory. Cullen Sherrill's two catches both went for touchdowns, so there's that.

2¢ on Falls
One year after they were the last Cy-Fair ISD team standing, the Eagles are in danger of being the first team eliminated from playoff contention. This is a matchup pitting the district's worst offense (Cy Falls) and the worst defense (Cy Woods) against one another, so something's got to give...
The Eagles' defense has definitely been their strength this season, and they have standouts at all three levels. Cordell Ijoma and Kory Toliver are imposing presences in the trenches. Blake Thompson set the Cy Falls single-season record for tackles last season, and he is arguably the face of Cy Falls' defensive unit. He'll be joined by Bikacic and Tommy Dinh, among others. Davion Morris, a three-year letterman, is the leader of the Eagles secondary; he and Cy Ranch's Rance McInnis currently lead the district with three interceptions apiece.
On the other hand, Cy Falls has a brand-new cast of characters on offense, and they have yet to score 100 points on the season. They have to replace two 1,000-yard rushers (Desmond Hite and Shannon Vaughns), a three-year starter at quarterback (Casey Rosellini), and a three-year starter at cornerback and wide receiver (Jorren Pollard). In addition, they also lost their offensive coordinator.
T.J. Goodwin has shown flashes, but he's enduring growing pains as a sophomore. To replace Hite and Vaughns, the Eagles have a three-back rotation of Christian Anderson, Chhay Hok, and Jordan Ramos. Hok is also the team's leading receiver. Starrland Baldwin can make an impact anywhere on the field, whether on offense, defense, or the return game.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
Desmond Hite and Shannon Vaughns went on a rampage in a 57-20 Cy Falls victory. They both ran for well over 100 yards with three touchdowns, and Hite also caught a touchdown pass. That is probably all you really needed to know about this game.
