Klein Oak is leaving town to face Cypress Falls after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Klein Oak lost 39-17 to Port Neches-Groves on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 198th, while the Indians are ranked 27th).
Meanwhile, Cypress Falls had to kick off their season on the road on Saturday, but they showed no ill effects. They took down Cypress Lakes 27-8.
Gabriel Wilson was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 211 yards while picking up 9.6 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run. Eric Manuel also helped out as he racked up 110 rushing yards.
Klein Oak took their win against Cypress Falls when the teams last played back in August of 2014 by a conclusive 37-11. The rematch might be a little tougher for Klein Oak since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
