A (really) short week

This note was for a football notebook this week that will have to wait until next week, but I liked it too much to waste so here it is:

Thursday night’s Cypress Ridge-Cypress Falls game at the Berry Center will have several interesting dynamics, not the least of which is that both teams will be coming off only four days of preparation.

The game will be shown on ESPNU at 7 p.m.

Fortunately for the Rams, Cy Falls didn’t have an extra day either. The Eagles are coming off a 40-33 loss to Langham Creek.

“We’ve done this (short weeks) before,” Rams coach Gary Thiebaud said Saturday night after a 21-14 win against Cy-Fair. “Tomorrow (Sunday) is gonna be a long day for coaches, then we’ll practice Monday. It’ll be a full practice. Normally after a Saturday game Monday practices are short. Then Tuesday will be good and Wednesday we’ll have to scale it back.

“It’ll be a huge one. The kids are excited about being on national TV. We’re right in the district hunt. It’s another important game.”
