Biography

The 2010 season will be Coach Spenn’s third season at the helm of Cypress Christian Football and his fifth season at CCS. Coach Spenn has an all time record as a head varsity football coach of 14-8. He believes in running a different kind of program that is truly a curriculum for building men and it is exciting to see what God is doing as the program continues to grow. In 2007 Cypress Christian had just 19 players participating in high school football. When the Warriors take the field in 2010 there will be nearly 60 high school players, almost 100 athletes in the overall program, and a full JV schedule at the high school and middle school level.

While the 2008 team compiled a 4-6 record, they ended the season strong in district play (4-2) and returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2004. In 2009 the Warriors dominated most of their opponents in route to a 10-2 record and a District Championship for the first time in school history. Cypress Christian defeated All-Saints Tyler for its first ever playoff victory and a trip to the Regional Championship. Injuries limited the Warriors as they fell to Colleyville Covenant Christian

The Warriors will return 18 starters and 38 players as they enter the 2010 season to defend their District and Bi-District Championships.

Prior to becoming the head football coach he was the head middle school coach at CCS for 2 years and coached middle school football at First Baptist Academy the four previous seasons.

Coach Spenn had the opportunity to play High School football in Watseka, Illinois and went on to be a four year letter winner as a wide receiver at Taylor University in Indiana. He loves coaching because of the deep impact that coaches have had on his life and wants to be able to impact the next generation in the same way. He lives in northwest Houston with his wife Bethany, his two daughters Rylin (5) and Selah (3 months) and his two boys, Carson (4) and Noah (2) all of which are regular attendees on Friday nights.
