A Peek at the Cedar Park Record Book...

Many team and individual records were set or approached in the Pflugerville game, both in the positive and negative sense. We won’t dwell on the negatives, but here is an impressive run-down on the positives...

· Tied the second-longest win streak, at nine (1999 team also won nine straight). The record is eleven (2004).

· Extended mark for the second-longest unbeaten season start, at 7-0 (1999 team started 9-0). It is the longest unbeaten season start since district competition began in 2000.

· Tied the record for the longest home winning streak, at six (1999 team went 6-0 at home). It is the longest home winning streak since district competition began in 2000.

· Tied the mark for the second-longest district winning streak, at six (2000-2001 teams also combined for six). The longest is seven, wholly contained within 2004.

· Travis Watson threw for the sixth-most passing yards ever in a game (167). The record is Roy Bracey’s 289 against Hays in 2002. That 167 mark is also the sixth-most team passing yards in a game, a slightly different statistic. The 289 vs. Hays in ’02 leads that category, as well.

· That final touchdown pass from Travis Watson to Jamie Knight was the fourth-longest pass in team history, at 65 yards. The record is 70 yards, Roy Bracey to Korey Washington against Hays in 2002.

· Watson ties several players for the second-most TD passes in one game (2). Watson is also the co-record-holder, with Roy Bracy, at 3, which he (Watson) threw against Harker Heights in 2005.

· Watson now needs 184 more yards to reach a career mark of a thousand passing yards.

· The 445 yards of total offense was the most in the Chris Ross era, and the eighth-most in any Cedar Park game. The record is 558 against Shoemaker in 2001.

· The 90-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter that culminated in the 45-yard TD pass from Watson to Taylor Itz was the fifth-longest in team history. Also, the 88-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter culminating in Justin Allen’s 3-yard TD run was the seventh-longest ever. The longest was a 99-yard TD drive against McNeil in 2003.

· The twenty first downs was the fifth-most ever. The record is 26 vs. Westwood in 2004.

· CP has never lost a regular season game when scoring thirty or more points. The Pflugerville game was the 26th time a Cedar Park team scored thirty or more in a game. The won-loss record in such games is 25-1, the only loss coming in the 2001 playoffs, 39-38 to Waller.

· The Pflugerville game was the 36th time Cedar Park has allowed twenty or more points in a game, their record in such games being 7-29.

· The Timberwolves now have four district wins, the third-most ever in one season. The record is seven, in 2004. They can match the second-highest mark, five (2001) with a win in any of their last three games.

· In the last three years, Cedar Park is now 4-1 against the two programs continually perceived by the media as this athletic district’s “elite” teams- Pflugerville and Leander. The only loss in this string is to Pflugerville in 2005, which is also the last time Cedar Park lost a game.

· Since starting 0-2 in 2004, the Timberwolves have gone 23-6 overall, 14-4 in district play. Both marks are the best of any program in 14-5A. Leander is 19-8 and 13-5 in the same timeframe, while Pflugerville is 14-12 and 11-7.

· CP has already scored 179 points this season, just 27 shy of what they scored all year in 2005. The average for points-per-game is up five full points (to 25.6 from 20.6) since ’05.

· The Gang Green, while not getting the three shutouts they produced in each of the previous two seasons, has nonetheless improved its points-allowed average four full points from 2005. They’ve given up just 14.4 per contest, down from 18.4 in ’05.

· The Timberwolves point averages – both scored and allowed - are even better than the phenomenal 2004 Regional Finalist team. They’re outscoring that team 25.6 points per game to 24.6. (The highest-scoring Cedar Park team since district competition began in 2000 is far and away the 2001 17-4A champions, who pummeled the scoreboard at a rate of 31.6 points per contest.) This year’s team is also allowing half a point less per game compared to that ’04 team; 14.4 to 14.9. That mark, if maintained, would be the school record for average fewest points allowed.
