Wondering the same thing. I live next to Cy Ranch and figured they had a suburban pansy team. They're in the state finals???

Kyler vs. Skyline

looks like the were playing the 1980's philadelphia phillies

so where did south caroll finish the last few years ???

I hope they do, and Kyler makes history a a five star rating

Carroll got beat in round 4 by Cedar Hill.

They won it two yrs ago, last year they got beaten in the 4th round I believe.

How the hell did Cy ranch make it?' They're going to get obliterated, poor guys.

By winning their games.

Someone told me in a hallway conversation that Cy-Ranch has beaten two previously unbeaten teams in the playoffs this year. I don't follow it close enough to know if that's true. They appear to be a surprise; but this isn't the first week random people were thinking they were going to be obliterated.

Talentwise there is no comparison between Cy Ranch and Allen.

For them to keep it close they will have to play perfect and have Allen make some mistakes.

It could definitely happen, but I sure wouldn't bet on it.

go Allen, but watch out for the big underdog, get a big first half lead so u do not have to come back big time n 3/4 qtrs
just drill them

Its not just Allen.

HS football in general is just a bigger deal in DFW. Generally speaking there are better facilities, bigger crowds, more kids that play, bigger coaching staffs, better coaches pay, and a little more emphasis put on football in the metroplex.

All of this is my opinion. But I am a coach and have coached in both DFW and in the Houston area.

---

I think a lot of that has to do with the mega schools of DFW. Imagine if Cy-Fair hadn't expanded, and all of Cy Ranch and Cy Woods still went to Cy Fair. That would be a very good team. Imagine if Katy had Cinco and Taylor kids. Imagine if Manvel and Pearland was one school. Imagine if all of the Woodlands had one school.

My nephew blocked for Keith Ford and now my niece and daughter attend Cy Ranch. They have a strong running game and a good O line. They don't pass much or effectively, however, Colin (QB) is pretty quick if he is running (QB keeper). It is more if an opportune passing game not a throw around the yard type O. On D, we have a fairly good run D. Kids are disciplined and maintain their gap responsibility, plus pursue the ball extremely well. Our pass D is very suspect and our most vulnerable area. I am worried Kyler will have record numbers in the air. We will need to control the game and clock on the ground to stay with Allen. We have little margin for error as we are not a very explosive offense.

Ranch has only been playing varsity sports since 2010. Made playoffs in football all but one year. Baseball already has a state championship, softball in playoffs every year as well. The school is building a strong athletic program to compliment strong academics - 98% of last years class went to college!!!

Go Mustangs!!!

Hasn't beat Liberty Hill... Liberty Hill football > Allen Football

DFW only has a few of those mega schools. And only a few of them are dominant. Allen, SLC, and Trinity.

On the flip side, Cedar Hill is one of the smallest schools in 6a. They aren't a mega school.

If you look at the 5a level and 4a level, DFW dominates there as well. Obviously none of them are mega schools.

got it its saturday, cy ranch has two losses, does this benefit Allen??
is there any stats matchup that would favor either one?

---

Yes Allen's stat that benefits them is about 5'11" & 180 lbs.

hopefully you don't think Kyler is that big.

go kyler , goooooo!!!!!!

This is probably the longest troll effort I have ever seen that noone else has realized. Or maybe they have realized it, but are just bored so badly they are humoring him.

Southlake isn't a mega-school either.

Houston suburban school districts build new high schools as quickly as possible. Dallas suburban districts allow their schools to double or triple before splitting them up.

This is very true. Cy-Fair has 10 6A high schools and are building an 11th. The biggest has a few over 3000. Some of those Plano schools are over 6000.

But regardless, I'm shocked that ranch has made it this far. Are there any guys on that team that big schools are recruiting?

---

CFISD has approved the plans for #11 and #12

6K kids at one HS is a crazy advantage. Are there plans for another HS?

Not sure why I thought SLC was bigger.

That's not the case in Frisco, who is building a new high school every year. And as for Plano, the schools are broken up into 9-10 grade schools, and 11-12 grade senior high schools. There are no 6000 student schools.

It's less about the size of the campus than it is the number of kids in grades 9-12 to pick from.

All 3 Plano schools (11-12) graduate between 1000-1500. So they have as many junior/seniors as most schools have freshman on up.

Allen High is grades 10-12. 9th grade has their own campus.

Before another high school is added I wouldn't be surprised to see the 10th grade join the 9th grade on a single campus, creating a 9th-10th grade junior high and an 11th-12th grade senior high. This is how the Plano high schools work.

If 9-10 is Jumior High, what is 6-8? Double Junior high?

What's that movie "never been licked"
44-0 Kyler or GTFO. Gig'em

When Allen was small and undeveloped the city decided to have just one HS so they would always have that small town feel. The city kept growing but the school never split so it has grown to the largest in the state. On the flip side, Frisco decided a long time ago to never have a school larger than 4a so they just keep building schools nonstop to keep pace with the growth and their commitment to having small high schools.

There are no 6000 student Plano campuses but for athletic purposes the kids at the high schools count because they are eligible to play on the senior high school team. For example there are at least 2 bus loads of athletes that are taken from Vines to Plano Senior everyday.

Certainly doesn't seem fair that Allen gets to choose from 6k students while everyone else has such smaller player pools to choose from. What's with the way things are? Doesn't seem the least bit corrupt to you guys?

Allen having one large school was originally based on good intentions but now I think it is kept this way due to pride and the egos of the Allen residents. Think of all the kids that can't play their sport b/c the competition to make the team is too stiff... I don't think it is in the kids best interest.
