Week One Musings

The class 5A Katy Tigers, who were ranked #1 by some pollsters last week, lost to The Woodlands 31-27, but they're actually in better position this year than last. They turned the tables on Galena Park North Shore in the season's first game, edging them 9-7, after losing to them 10-6 in 08'. In 2008 The Woodlands embarrassed the Tigers 47-0 before Katy went on to win a second consecutive state title.

A couple games involving top ten teams crossing class lines this week when class 4A Wolfforth Frenship meets class 3A Abilene Wylie and class 2A Arp takes on class 1A Alto. Expect the upper classes to teach the junior classes a lesson in each contest.

Weather has caused numerous cancellations the first two weeks of the season and it looks like the forecast again calls for thunderstorms to rumble across the state this weekend.
