The Highlanders broke open a 28-0 lead with three minutes remaining before giving up a late touchdown to Cy-Fair at Woodforest Bank Stadium on Friday.

“It’s awesome, anytime you can beat a really good team like cy fair it’s definitely a feather in your cap,” The Woodlands coach Mark Schmid said. “I loved our kids effort tonight—they played hard every snap.

Cy-Fair outgained The Woodlands on the ground 118-89, but the Highlanders were superior in the air passing for 169 yards against Cy-Fair’s 58. click here for complete story
