At half-time, the score was 28-27 to the surprise of many! King’s defense limited Katy to just 78 yards through the air. Where the Tigers found success was in the ground game. At the half, Katy rushed for 245 yards. The yards increased as Katy continuesd its quest of being the best team in 6A Division 2. Here are some of the Stand Out Players:
I have to start with the workhorse of this Katy team: Seth Davis Seth Davis 5’7″ | 165 lbs | RB Katy | 2023 State TX ! Davis was impressive the whole night. He ran tough for a back that is not considered a power back. He showed great acceleration once he hand open field. Arm tackles were not going to stop him. His vision and quickness were phenomenal. Davis possesses really great speed with his longest run coming from 69 yards out! He is a patient back, not rushing, and allowing his line to open holes. He did a nice job of setting up his linemen as well. He would run one way and side hop to a different hole, getting defenders to fully commit to one side. Davis is everything you would want in a bell cow back. The senior finished his night with 241 yards on 21 carries SIX touchdowns…you read that right…SIX!

Jed Olotu-Judah
Olotu-Judah is what a Katy Tiger football player is supposed to be: hard-working, not flashy, and does his job…well. I noticed him at or around the football all game long! He was Katy’s open field slot defender, playing zone and man. He made several plays in the run and passing game. I liked him better in zone coverage, where he could read and react and attack the football, but he was more than serviceable in man coverage as well. He came up with a keep pass deflection late in the fourth quarter. Good pursuit angles and physical tackler in space, the junior never played himself out of position. Olotu-Judah was a really solid player and a key member of that tiger defense.
