The 2007 state champion Cy-Fair baseball team is starting 2008 on the right foot. 

The Bobcats defeated Westbury on Saturday night with a final score of 6-4.

Because of inclement weather earlier in the week, the game had to be pushed back to 7:30pm instead of 2:30pm. 

In his 29th year of coaching, Coach Woody Champagne is coming back for a repeat of the 2007 state championship season saying “we’d definitely like to get back this year.”

They are off to a great start, the Bobcats were on top the entire game scoring two runs in the first three innings.

Among the players who scored were Zack Thomas, Tommy Collier, and Jordan Harris just to name a few.

The 2008 roster has an entire new look with only two major starters from last season returning - first baseman Tommy Collier and outfielder and another Texas commit, Robbie Grossman. 

In January, Collier and Grossman were selected to the All-Greater Houston Preseason Team.  Also receiving an award was Champagne, who won the Ray Knoblauch Coach of the year award. 

“Though we lost most of our players from last season, Collier and Grossman have helped tremendously," Champagne said. "We are all ready to get this season started…we’ve got to maintain our focus and work hard in order to get back to state.”

After trailing by five for three innings straight, Westbury began to get back in the game.

Three of Westbury’s runners on base scored because of errors.
