Aiden Teran Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Saturday, Langham Creek got the W thanks in part to Aiden Teran playing the best football he has all season. Teran picked up 155 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. Langham Creek is 3-1 when Teran posts 100 or more receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
With the victory, Langham Creek broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-3. Teran and Langham Creek will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Waller at 6:30 p.m.

Theodis Fields Has Career-Day on Thursday
Sadly, Theodis Fields posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cypress Lakes over Cypress Ranch on Thursday. Fields rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 72 yards.
For the year, Fields has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 42.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 25.57 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 33.00
Owen Cossette produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Cypress Ranch to the win on Thursday. Cossette threw for 131 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 108 yards on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Cossette is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Cypress Woods on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Cossette saw the Wildcats), he threw for 479 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown.
