Signing Day Feature presented by T-Mobile: Cy Creek's Josh White

Dec 20, 2019

HOUSTON - At the three and a half years old, Josh White discovered he wanted to play football.

From that moment, his mother, Tammy Demas, did everything she could, including working two jobs at one point, to help pay for cleats, mouthpieces and training to help him reach his goal.

Nearly 15 years later, that has paid off.

On Wednesday, Tammy sat on the front row of the bleachers inside Cypress Creek High School's gymnasium as Josh signed his National Letter of Intent to play football at LSU.

"She's meant so much to me," White said. "She worked two jobs to keep a roof over my head. I'll never forget in Little League she worked two jobs just to get me the equipment I needed. Mouthpieces, cleats, all that. She never said she couldn't do that for me. She just went out and worked for it and got it for me.

"I'm going to do the same thing for her."

After a few coaches spoke, it was Josh's turn.

During his speech he thanked his coaches and teachers and then he looked right at his mother and thanked her for all she had done for him.

"It meant a lot that I survived for him and that he can reach his goal," Tammy said. "He showed me this is what he wanted to do in life, so I had to go and do what I had to do. Pay for training and stuff so that he can be successful."

Top DFW Hoops Game for January 17

The Texas high school hoops season rolls on and we have a five-spot for both boys and girls basketball for Friday evening. A number of games feature teams in our recent Top 10 rankings.

The spotlight for Friday is led by District 7-6A as each side features Top 10 matchups. We'll lead off with the boys five games to keep an eye on.

BOYS

#3 Waxahachie (17-3, 4-0) vs. #2 Grand Prairie (16-1, 4-0): One team will remain undefeated in 7-6A play after this one. Waxahachie enters on a six-game win streak, having won those games by an average of 24.2 points. Grand Prairie is on an 11-game win streak, which has included a few close calls. It also recently got back Jaylin Posey from injury.

Arlington Lamar (12-6, 7-0) vs. #10 North Crowley (20-5, 7-0): Another matchup between undefeated teams in district (4-6A). play. One team will have the inside track for the district title while the other will drop to, most likely, a game ahead of Arlington Martin for second place.

Flower Mound (18-5, 3-1) vs. Irving MacArthur (15-4, 2-1): This is a battle for fourth in 6-6A. Both teams dropped their last game., and a loss by MacArthur could drop them out of the playoff picture if Marcus wins.

Quinlan Ford (16-7, 0-0) vs. Nevada Community (12-4, 0-0): District 13-4A opens up with a matchup featuring the two best teams in - record-wise - in district. Ford is on a four-game win streak, including a 23-18 win in its last outing.

GIRLS

#2 South Grand Prairie (26-2, 6-0) vs. #6 Cedar Hill (18-6, 3-1): Another Top 10 matchup in 7-6A as two of the six teams in the state duke it out. South Grand Prairie is on a five-game win streak, which included a win over another state-ranked team in Mansfield Timberview. Cedar Hill has won two straight after a stretch of losing three of four during the holiday break.

Fort Worth Trimble Tech (21-7, 7-2) vs. #4 Arlington Martin (25-4, 9-0): The top two teams in 4-6A meet up for the second time in the district slate. In the first meeting, Martin won on the road 59-33, holding Trimble Tech to single digits in three of the four quarters. Martin is on a four-game win streak and won 20 of its last 21 games. Trimble Tech fell to North Crowley earlier in the week, ending a four-game win streak.

#9 The Colony (14-9, 4-1) vs. #1 Denton Braswell (20-4, 5-0): It's the first matchup between these two 8-5A foes, which are both ranked in our latest Top 10 rankings. The Colony enters on a three-game win streak, holding opponents to an average of 44.3 points. Braswell, the area's No. 1 5A team, is on a five-game win streak, winning those games by an average of 33.6 points per game, including an 80-13 win to kick off the streak.

Southlake Carroll (13-8, 3-2) vs. Keller Timber Creek (12-5, 2-2): A matchup of the two teams occupying the last two playoff spots out of 5-6A. Timber Creek can move into third with a win over Carroll in the team's first meeting in district play. A win for Carroll will give it at least a game buffer for the third seed.

Melissa (15-9, 1-0) vs. Anna (12-5, 2-0): It's early in 11-4A play as the only two teams with winning records square off. Melissa is on a two-game win streak after a 1-2 record in the prior three games. Anna has won its last seven games, beating teams by an average of 14.9 points.
