Declaring that your goal is to win a state football championship at the beginning of the high school football season, for most teams, would be a huge psychological mistake. However, the Katy Tigers did just that. Maybe it was too clever of a phrase to pass on: "Drive for 5 in 2005." For Katy to win another state championship would equal 5, and it is the year 2005. It turned out to be much more than taking advantage of a number rhyme. Katy will compete for their fifth state title against the Southlake Carroll Dragons on Saturday, December 17.
Katy won their last 5A Division II Texas State Championship game by beating Southlake in 2003. Katy is the only team to have beaten the Dragons since they moved up to 5A football. Both teams are better than they were in 2003. Southlake wants revenge, Katy wants another state championship. Most of the state will not give Katy a chance. Southlake has been ranked for the past two years as the top high school team in the nation. Katy tends to get overlooked by national poles unless they win the state championship.
Texas Stadium is going to be the site for the battle between the Tigers and the Dragons. Katy has never played there; Southlake Carrol thinks of it as their stadium. The build up to the game is going to be exciting. It should be a fun week!

So, I sense a pattern here. If they win this year, it'll be Drive for Six in '06...
Well, that doesn't sounds as good. How bout Kix for SIx? Or Let the People of Katy Buy Tix for Six...
I'll work on it.
I will be cheering for Katy.
Southlake has been dominant too long and they need a good team to knock them off their pedestal.
I was sad Plano did not advance. Gerald Brence, the coach there is a fine man. I worked with his wife and she is a sweetheart!
