Gray emerges for Cy Falls

William Hatfield — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:00:00 GMT

Junior QB leads powerful offense for Golden Eagles

By William Hatfield
For The Chronicle

With only one offensive starter returning from last year's Class 5A Division II state runner-up squad, Cypress Falls coach David Raffield didn't know what to expect from his team when it came to scoring.

Thanks to quarterback Kolby Gray, Raffield's biggest problem has been trying not to run up the score. Cy Falls has put up incredible offensive numbers while posting an 8-2 record. The Golden Eagles have averaged 427 yards of offense and 45 points per game, and Raffield is looking for more as Cy Falls opens the playoffs against Mayde Creek on Saturday night at Rhodes Stadium.

Gray's numbers have been the most impressive. The 6-2, 190-pound junior has completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,646 yards and 26 touchdowns. He's had three 400-yard passing games and was named the Chronicle's player of the week after his 482-yard, five-touchdown performance against Langham Creek.

Accurate passer

Gray has thrown only two interceptions all season.

"Kolby has a great understanding of our offense," Raffield said. "He's really stepped up to the plate for us and is not trying to do too much himself."

Gray has plenty of complementary offensive weapons. Running back Shane Turner has gained 1,349 yards and scored 24 touchdowns. Darius Bolden, Denzel Wells and Blake Shaw form one of the state's best receiving corps.

"To make our offense click, my job is to get the ball to our playmakers and let them do their thing," Gray said. "We have a real connection with each other, and I know if Blake is covered, I can check down to Denzel and know he is going to be there."

Gray averaged 325 passing yards per game and guided the Golden Eagles to a 6-1 record and second-place finish in 17-5A.

"This team has matured a lot faster then we thought it would," Raffield said. "Coming into the year, we hoped to just reload with players we thought had potential. They have come together a lot faster then we expected."

Colleges come calling

Gray got bigger and taller over the summer, hit the weight room and attended training camps in hopes of maturing as a passer. The result has been a stronger arm and a tighter spiral that has colleges taking notice.

"I'm getting letters from everyone," Gray said. "It's been fun to see who might want you to come play ball for them."

Cy Falls defeats Langham Creek 56-14

The Cy Falls Golden Eagles rode the arm of quarterback Kolby Gray and their vaunted receiving core for a 56-14 victory over the Langham Creek Lobos Friday night.

It didn’t take the crowd at Berry Center long to see why the Golden Eagles quarterback is ranked among area passers and his favorite receivers Darius Bolden, Denzel Wells, and Blake Shaw are among the area’s biggest gainers in reception yards. The Eagles took two plays and 38 seconds to get on the board when Gray lofted a 65-yard pass to Wells who outraced Lobo defenders to the end zone.

The Lobos Obinna Akujuobi and the rest of the Lobo defense had its hands full early trying to corral Gray and his receivers as well as running back Shane Turner. By the half, the Golden Eagles had scored six touchdowns, three in each quarter and four through the air. Meanwhile, their defense stymied Max Jenkins and the Langham Creek offense, although the Lobos did manage to put together back-to-back touchdowns midway through the second quarter.

All total, Cy Falls tallied 473 yards passing en route to its fifth game in which it scored 45 points or better. The Golden Eagles had 607 total yards in the contest, adding 134 on the ground. Gray spread the wealth around, too, tossing the 65-yard scoring pass to Wells, a nine-yard pass into the end zone to Bolden, and two TD passes to Shaw, one for five yards, the other from 49 yards out. The other two scores in the first half came on option pitches to Shane Turner, who rushed for 100 yards for the night, giving Obinna Akujuobi and the rest of the Lobo defenders fits.

Quotable: "He has all the physical tools to be a great quarterback, and he's the most coachable kid I've been around," Cypress Falls coach David Raffield said.

Blake Shaw - Sterling Bank Athlete of the Week

Tiffany Groce — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:00:00 GMT

Written by Tiffany Groce

Tuesday October 23, 2007

The Athlete’s Connection has named Cypress Falls senior Blake Shaw as our Sterling Bank Athlete of the Week. This recent University of Southern California (USC) track & field commit helped lead his football team to a 49-37 victory over the Cy Fair Bobcats last week.

The nationally-televised game held no added pressure for Shaw. “[It] was my night to be open because they were keying in on the other guys, and I took advantage of it."

Shaw finished the game with 76 yards on five receptions, three of which were touchdown catches, adding to his season total of 375 yards and five touchdowns.

Blake not only shines on the football field but also crosses his talent over to the track and to the unbeaten path of cross-country. Most players would use Saturday as a day of rest, but for Shaw it’s on to his next sport.

He is a 4-year cross-country letterman, and, due to the overlapping football season, he has had to compete in cross-country meets taking place early Saturday mornings.

“I have to wake up every morning and run by myself, and that’s pretty hard, especially when you have football practice after school,” he said. “It’s pretty fun, and it’s a challenge, [but] I just take it, and try to do the best I can.”

Shaw is hoping to repeat as district cross-country champion this week and make a return trip to the state football championship game in December, before putting on the crimson and gold at USC next fall.

Turner shines, Cy Falls dominates Cy-Fair

Dave Purpura — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 13:00:00 GMT

Thursday October 18, 2007

Cypress Falls running back Shane Turner had four Division I offers entering Thursday night's nationally-televised game against Cy-Fair at The Berry Center.

After rushing for 195 yards and four touchdowns in addition to a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Turner's phone may be ringing non-stop from here on.

Turner upstaged Cy-Fair running back Sam McGuffie, a Michigan commitment, by running for touchdowns from 3, 35 and 69 yards and taking the second-half kickoff goal-line to goal-line.

"I hope I have some more offers. I hope all the colleges were watching this game," said Turner, who has been offered by Arizona, Fresno State, New Mexico State and Utah. "Everybody knows who Sam McGuffie is. Now I hope they know who I am. I try to make my mark."

Turner finished with well more than 300 all-purpose yards and has 1,037 rushing yards this season.

'The Missile' is unbelievable," Cy Falls (5-2 overall, 3-1 District 17-5A) coach David Raffield said. "It is amazing to me that every school in the country does not want a kid like that. I imagine those phones will be ringing off the hook after that. I'll tell you what, I'd love watching him for another four years somewhere."

The two teams combined for 792 yards of offense, with Cy Falls outgaining Cy-Fair 413-379. Golden Eagles quarterback Kolby Gray was 13-of-19 passing for 222 yards and an interception, throwing touchdowns of 10, 4 and 34 yards to Blake Shaw.

Turner, Cy Falls steal thunder

Sam Khan — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT

Senior RB keys Golden Eagles to wild 49-37 triumph over McGuffie, Cy-Fair

By SAM KHAN JR.
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle

Sam McGuffie's extensive highlight reel has made the Cy-Fair running back an Internet star and with it came national recognition in the world of high school football. Before Thursday night, the same could not be said for Shane Turner.

In just under three hours, the Cypress Falls senior running back made sure viewers across the nation remembered his name as the he compiled 295 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns to lead the Golden Eagles to a 49-37 District 17-5A victory over Cy-Fair on Thursday before a national television audience on ESPN2.

Many fans in the near-capacity crowd at the Berry Center showed up expecting to see McGuffie shine for the cameras, but it was Turner who stole the show with 195 rushing yards on 26 carries and a 100-yard kickoff return.

"Everybody knows who Sam McGuffie is ,but nobody really knows who Shane Turner is," Turner said. "I just tried to make my mark."

While he didn't explode, McGuffie, a Michigan commitment, had a solid night in his own right, finishing with 163 yards on 31 carries and a touchdown. He only had one run over 20 yards, a 43-yarder that set up a third-quarter touchdown by Wesley Cobb (10 carries, 52 yards).

Meanwhile, Turner, an uncommitted senior who has currently has offers from four Division I schools, according to Rivals.com (Arizona, Fresno State, New Mexico State and Utah), had touchdown runs of 3, 35 and 69 yards.

"I tell you what, 'The Missile' is amazing," Cy Falls coach David Raffield said, referring to Turner's nickname. "I would think that he'll be hearing from a lot more schools and some ones closer to home pretty soon."

He wasn't the only one who shined on Thursday, though. Quarterback Kolby Gray (13-of-19 passing, 222 yards) threw three touchdown passes, all to Blake Shaw (five receptions, 76 yards), a track standout who verbally committed to Southern California for that sport on Wednesday.

When the Golden Eagles (5-2, 3-1) fell behind 16-7 late in the first quarter, they didn't have any doubt they would get back in the game, thanks to their powerful offensive unit, which has scored 47 or more points four times this season.

Turner's 35-yard score with 11:52 remaining in the second quarter cut the Cy-Fair lead to two points, then after a 23-yard touchdown pass from Cy-Fair quarterback Gavin West (207 passing yards, two touchdowns) to John Leonhardt, Turner responded with a 69-yard run to again pull the Golden Eagles within two at 23-21 with 5:32 remaining in the first half.

Gray hit Shaw for a 10-yard touchdown pass to give the Golden Eagles a 28-23 halftime lead, but the biggest blow Turner and the Golden Eagles threw at Cy-Fair (4-3, 2-2) came in the third quarter. He opened the second-half with the 100-yard kickoff return to extend the lead to 35-23.

"That was huge," Turner said. "I just saw the hole and I ran."

The Golden Eagles reeled off 28 unanswered points spanning the second and third quarters and the run ended with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Gray to Shaw with 5:57 remaining in the third quarter to put the game out of reach for Cy Falls.

The Golden Eagles now own sole possession of second place in the 17-5A standings, a half-game behind first-place Cypress Ridge.

Cy-Fair, Cy Falls take center stage today on ESPN2

Thursday night lights going national

By SAM KHAN JR.
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle

For the second time in as many seasons, a pair of area high school football teams will play for a national television audience as Cy-Fair and Cypress Falls meet at 7 p.m. today at the Berry Center on ESPN2.

The game is the 13th in a 14-game schedule for the ESPNU Old Spice High School Showcase. Last season, ESPN2 broadcast Lufkin's 31-7 win over The Woodlands on Oct. 26 at Moorhead Stadium in Conroe.

"It's real exciting for our program and our school," Cypress Falls coach David Raffield said. "I've been getting phone calls from (ex-players) all around the country because they're going to get to see our game. They're pretty fired up that they can turn on their TV set in New York or Chicago or Florida and get to watch their team play."

There are several things to showcase in tonight's matchup. The biggest attraction is Cy-Fair senior running back Sam McGuffie. The 5-11, 190-pound Michigan commitment already has become an Internet star because of highlight videos circulating on YouTube.com, but the nation will get the chance to see the area's most electrifying back live for the first time.
