From Our Executive Director At Cypress Christian School, we believe in providing as many opportunities as possible for our students to grow spiritually, academically and physically. Our athletic programs are designed to build both physical strength and personal character. Furthermore, keeping a high degree of physical fitness increases a student’s ability to concentrate in the classroom. On the field of athletic competition, many qualities are developed in an individual that are beneficial in all other areas of life. Such qualities include an appreciation for hard work, selfdiscipline, commitment to a common goal, loyalty, dependability, the ability to deal with loss and adversity, the ability to receive instruction, sacrifice and teamwork. In addition to all of these benefits, it is great fun to both participate in sports as an athlete and to watch as a parent or sports fan. Stephen Novotny, J.D. Executive Director Cypress Christian School
In all of our athletic programs, our underlying goal is to honor the one who gave us our abilities. As it is written: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31 We hope this year you will catch the “Warrior Spirit,” enjoy coming out and watching the games, and share in the excitement of our athletic program. Go, Warriors!
From Our Managing Athletic Director – Jeff Mudrow “Whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” –Philippians 1:27b The athletes, coaches, faculty, staff and administration, as well as our school parents, have chosen this year to “Rise as One” when we compete. It is always our goal at Cypress Christian School to win with grace, lose with dignity and above all – Glorify God! We hope you catch the excitement of this athletic season and join with us in one spirit and one mind as we strive together toward the common goals of athletic excellence and honoring our Savior in all we do.

Our Football Philosophy
Football at Cypress Christian is much more than a competitive game that young men play. It is an intentional curriculum that uses football to build men. The intent is to produce men who will live with reckless abandon for Christ in all things at all times; men who will be the same in public as they are in private; men who will be great husbands and fathers in the future; and men who will learn to build deep, meaningful relationships that will be used to sharpen each other and hold each other accountable for a lifetime. Our success will not be measured in wins and losses, but in how well we close the gap between our potential and our performance as players and as men. In fact, it will probably take ten years to determine just how successful this season really will be.
Goal For every player to know Christ and to make Him known Purpose Statement The purpose of Cypress Christian Football is threefold: 1. Use football to teach principles and values that will result in the building of courageous men who will live sacrificial lives to the glory of God both on and off the field 2. Purposefully build deep, meaningful relationships that will last a lifetime 3. Develop each player to be the best football player he can be Theme Verses – FOOTBALL IS WORSHIP • Colossians 3:17 – “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” • Colossians 3:23-24 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Biblical Football Is Competing • By the Power of God • According to the Word of God • For the Glory of God Excellence in Competition If we are going to worship through football, then we must pursue excellence on the field. We must strive to put the best team on the field with the goal of exceeding our potential as individuals. We will strive for excellence as coaches by developing the best offensive and defensive schemes to fit our personnel. Values Love, Faith, Humility, Perseverance, Commitment, Trust, Encouragement, Contentment, Courage, and Servant Leadership

#37 – John Crozier Position: Tight End/Linebacker Height: 5’10” Weight: 147

2014 Highlights: John was a leader on special teams and started several games at outside linebacker where he recorded 17 total tackles (six solo).

1. Called to Love • Our responsibility is to love: coaches must love the players and players must love each other. 2. Relationship Driven • Be intentional about building community, encouraging and motivating through love. • Players will be called to publicly encourage one another. 3. Servant Leadership • Captains will serve the team, and the varsity team will learn to serve the middle school team. 4. Humility – Be the First to Give All • Be faithful, available and teachable 5. Live Lives of Sacrifice • The player must die to himself for the sake of the team. • Being part of a team is being part of something bigger than ourselves. • Being part of a team means we give up rights and gain responsibilities.
6. Success Measured in How We “Close the Gap” • We are competing against our own best “selves” to close the gap between our potential and our performance. • We want a player’s best every day in every situation, but what God desires for us is greater than that—it is perfection. 7. Persevering with Eternal Perspective • Pursuing excellence on and off the field through Christ is a life-long journey, not a short-term goal. • Success is a road, not a destination. • You can always do one more: one more block, one more tackle, one more sprint. 8. Live with Passion • God wants us to give the maximum effort in all things, at all times. 9. Love to Lose • We love to win and want to win every game, but winning is only a by-product of true success; therefore, we are free to play our best because there is no fear of losing. • God’s victories often come through our defeats and, as a result, our character gets refined.

2015 Coach Profiles Jacob Spenn – Head Coach Coach Spenn is entering his eighth season as the head coach and his tenth overall season at Cypress Christian. As head coach he has led the Warriors to a 43 – 36 record, District Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and six playoff appearances. In 2014 the Warriors moved up to Division II football and got their first Division II district win against Westbury. However, his passion is for mentoring and building godly men through the game of football. Everything the football program does is based on building men, not just physically but spiritually. It will be years before the true success of the football team is known, but he is committed to being transformational in the lives of every player. Coach Spenn played football collegiately at Taylor University (’95-’98) as a wide receiver and prior to that he was a standout wide receiver at Watseka High School in Illinois.
Tim Honeycutt Offensive Coordinator Quarterbacks
Chris Laidlaw Defensive Coordinator Linebackers
Tom Nugent Running Backs
Matt McGee Wide Receivers
This will be Coach Honeycutt’s eighth season at Cypress Christian. He will once again coordinate the offense and will return to working with the quarterbacks as we look to perfect the triple option running game while still having a balanced attack. He played high school football for Dayton.
Coach Laidlaw is entering his sixth season at Cypress Christian. He has 20 years of coaching experience at the high school and collegiate levels along with college playing experience. His defenses have been a cornerstone of our program and this year is looking like an exceptional group on that side of the ball. In addition to his role as the coordinator, he will work directly with the linebackers.
This will be Coach Nugent’s fifth season at Cypress Christian as both a coach and a teacher. He has over 15 years of football coaching experience. This year he will move to the offensive side of the ball and take over the running back responsibilities as we perfect our option attack.
This will be Coach McGee’s third year at Cypress Christian and his second as a varsity assistant. This year he will move from coaching running backs to wide receivers. He has some talented seniors and a great group of young players to mentor this season.
Coach Spenn on Tim: He brings a passion and excitement for the game of football to the field every day. He has a great way of connecting with the kids and seeing life from their perspective. This is not just true for the high school players because nearly every student at our school knows his name.
Coach Spenn on Chris: He is great at breaking down our opponent’s offense and putting together a defensive plan that is sound against anything they might run. Chris is always looking to maximize every player’s potential and has a heart for being transformational in the lives of our players.
Coach Spenn on Matt: Matt is a great young coach who always wants to learn and improve. He is a good communicator on the field and is always willing to pick up the slack where needed.
Coach Spenn on Tom: I started my coaching career with Tom over 14 years ago and he has been a good friend ever since. He has a great passion for coaching and building up students. The students love being around him and playing for him.

He spent two seasons coaching at a 5A public school and now loves coaching in a Christian environment.
Coach Phipps has over 35 years of high school coaching experience and is returning to Cypress Christian for his second season. He spent most of his time in the Houston Independent School District and was the head coach at three different 4A programs during that time. He will continue to coach the defensive backs and motivate the entire team and coaches this season.
Coach Orrick has over 10 years of high school coaching experience at the 5A public school level. His son has been a standout player for the Warriors, and this year Kevin will join him on the sideline as a coach. His love and knowledge of the offensive line is certainly making us a better football team.
Coach Spenn on Scott: He pays great attention to detail and was a standout athlete that understands the importance of the little things. He has a passion for the game that is contagious and brings out the best in our team.
Coach Spenn on Rashaad: He has a great heart for coaching and a great understanding, in large part as a result of his own playing experience, for the impact that a coach can have in the lives of their players.
Coach Spenn on Darryl: Darryl has a great way of motivating his players and is always future focused. His positive attitude is contagious. He has had a great impact on our staff through both his knowledge of the game and his ability to coach it.
Coach Spenn on Kevin: I am very excited that Kevin is able to join us this season. Coaching the offensive line is critical to any great football team and Kevin does it the right way.

2015 SCHEDULE OVERVIEW
Close the Gap
The Warriors will have one of the largest senior classes to ever play football for CCS. This along with the experience gained from last season makes the 2015 outlook very promising. The Warriors will be looking to move up in the district standing and be a playoff team. This is the second year of a two-year cycle, so the schedule simply flips home and away. Graduation had a much bigger effect on the opponents then it did on the Warriors. As a result, the non-district schedule should be very favorable and features three home games. The Warriors hope to perfect the option attack this season with the possibility of having two 1,000-yard rushers in the backfield. On defense, the Warriors will return to the 3-4 and have an exceptional secondary. The special teams will continue to be strong in all phases.

2015 MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACHES & TEAM Kelvin Mason Head Coach Biography: Coach Mason is in his fourth season as the head middle school coach at CCS. The Warriors finished second in their division last year and went undefeated in district play the year before. Prior to being named the head coach, Kelvin served as an assistant coach for two seasons. As an assistant he was the Defensive Coordinator for both the MS A and B football teams. Coach Mason is a graduate of Heritage Christian Academy, a private Christian school in Huntsville, Texas. Upon graduation he received a scholarship to attend Dallas Christian College and play college basketball.

Coach Mason works full time for CCS doing security and maintenance and also coaches MS basketball for the Warriors. Philosophy: Coach Mason loves teaching his players to enjoy the sport and have fun.
