HISTORY MADE: Cypress Lakes' Carter talks about first-ever playoff game
Evidently, this fall has been one defined by new standards and firsts across the board.
Such was the case last week, when the Cypress Lakes football program not only secured a playoff berth — but its first ever since the school’s opening in 2008.
We caught up with second-year head coach Tyrone Carter to discuss how the Spartans reached this milestone and how they’re preparing for their inaugural postseason matchup against Magnolia.

Bridgeland's Kennedy Boatman
LOVB Spotlight: Boatman Hits 1K Career Assists as Bridgeland Rolls Early
In just over a year, Kennedy Boatman has gone from a rising talent to one of the most impactful setters in the Greater Houston volleyball scene. Now a senior for Bridgeland, Boatman has solidified her role as the engine behind the Bears’ offense – doing so with consistency that’s hard to ignore.
Already committed to East Tennessee State since July 2024, Boatman continues to raise the bar.
After earning District 16-6A Co-Newcomer of the Year and first-team, all-district honors last season, she’s picked up right where she left off this fall — helping guide Bridgeland to a strong 13-4 record and the No. 6 spot in the latest area rankings.
But her value goes well beyond the win-loss column.
Over the course of this past weekend, Boatman surpassed 1,000 career assists at Bridgeland — an impressive benchmark that speaks to her precision and intuition for the game.
Just a few weeks into the season, she’s also on pace for a personal-best, already notching close to 250 assists, along with just under 75 digs – showcasing her adaptability on the defensive side.
The Bears, meanwhile, are putting together a start that suggests they’ll be a force in 16-6A once again. Wins over top-tier programs such as Seven Lakes, College Park, The Woodlands, Stratford, and Ridge Point have positioned them as legit contenders — with a high-stakes showdown looming against district rival Cypress Ranch in late September.
If Bridgeland is going to make a run this season, Boatman will almost certainly be at the center of it — setting the tone, setting the ball, and setting the standard.
