celebrated for winning the 2017 Class 6A Division II state
championship, as the school, alumni and community members
came together for a parade on January 12 th and rally that
followed at the high school football field.
The Bobcats captured the state title with their 51-35 win over
Waco Midway on December 23 rd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Cy-Fair was the third football program in CFISD history to reach
a state championship game, but is the first in the district to win
it all.
A rally at the Cy-Fair football stadium followed, as fans filled the stands and
cheered throughout the ceremony. In addition to congratulatory speeches by the
high school administration, Pustejovsky offered thanks to not only his coaches
and players, but the community in helping the Bobcats win the championship.
Each member of the football team, film crew and athletic training staff was then
introduced.
Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics, closed the rally by presenting the state
championship trophy to the Bobcats with the crowd giving a raucous ovation. “It’s
good recognition for our players because they did accomplish something that very
few people get to do,” Pustejosky said. “I’m very proud of them.”
Cy-Fair fans and community members lined Cypress North

baseball field. Following a turn at Telge Road, hundreds of
students and staff from nearby Lamkin Elementary School and
Arnold Middle School cheered on the parade as well. Three
vehicles from the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department carried
the football team, while coaches, student trainers and other
program personnel rode in other vehicles.
The Cy-Fair Air Force JROTC, marching band, Brigade drill team
and cheerleaders also took part in the parade. Cy-Fair Head
Football Coach Ed Pustejovsky and his wife Marianne served as
the parade’s grand marshals.
“It was a time to be able to bring our staff, our students, our
alumni and our community together to savor the moment and
celebrate this historical event,” said Cy-Fair Principal Ana Martin.
“I’m still processing it all and what it means to Cy-Fair High
School and what it means to Cy-Fair ISD. We’re just so proud of
the hard work of our football team, our coaches and our staff.”
