Thanks Poppy. I think Humble won pretty big tonite. They always have the desire to beat Katy, but never the talent, ie, coaching.

New coaches, we'll see what happens.

Katy and Humble generally have tight games. Should be a good one.

It wasn't a tight game last year. Where's all the Katy faithful? Hardly anyone making comments about the game. I thought we had more posters.
My comments.......
Needs improvement,
Katy's running game hasn't really got rollin' yet. The first down proficiency is down from the last couple of seasons, although we have played two teams with decent defenses against the run.
Nice surprise,
The passing game is about as good as the 2000 team so far. Dalton looks really comfortable with what the coaches want him to do. He's consistently finding the open receiver. If this area of the offense keeps on improving Katy will be deadly.
Biggest improvement,
The special teams are extremely special! The kicking teams are better than what I've seen at Katy in a long time if ever. They've been pinning down opponents inside the 20 and sometimes 15 yrd line. The punting teams are doing a good job also.

O.K. Katy-ites, what's ya'lls prognosis?

[poppy]

katy's passing game is even better than the stats..at least 3 easily
catchable balls have beed dropped and 2 of those would have been tds.
dalton, kt qb, looks to me to be the best passer i have seen at katy..
and that includes r. peters and j. kaspar and m. buss.

there is a very good chance katy will go div one this year with alief taylor
and strake j. being the other playoff teams from 19-5a...

a possible showdown with katy vs. north shore or spring westfield is very
possible. i don't see any other reg 3 div 1 team being a threat to the big 3

1 s. westfield
2. north shore
3. katy

You're right, it wasn't close last year or in the previous playoff game. To my best recollection, the rest have been.
Humble beat Elsik 40-14 last night. From the games so far, the Tigers might not have much district competition. Hopefully, they won't get overconfident.Remember Alief Taylor last year.
James Aston can't be, and hasn't been, replaced. There might be more breakaway runs this year with a lot of speed. Aston isn't slow, but a most of his long runs came after breaking tackles. I haven't seen anyone power over the middle yet. This should not be a problem until the playoffs. Maybe there is someone on JV or possibly use the fullback more. Katy always makes adjustments.
The passing game and defense look strong. There were some missed tackles early on, but that stopped until the reserves went in. The kickoff team has been outstanding, however the field goal unit needs work. I think the retun teams will be good. The kickoff return team might not get much work and that's a good thing.

As for Humble, I see a close first half to three quarters with Katy winning its closest game so far. Definately can't take them for granted. (28-14) for my prediction.

[KT2000]

The sophomore, Aundre Dean, can run through contact and bounced off some tackles last night and against The Woodlands. He is only going to get better and that's scary. I don't think Katy's ever had a sophomore as physically gifted as Dean is.

That's a good win for Humble over Elsik, but I saw Elsik the week before against North Shore and was not impressed at all. They make way too many mistakes.

I kept saying last night that he was just a baby. He's learning on the job and really, really doing well. One thing I like about him is that he does seem to get stronger and more confident as the game goes on.

Is he a young James Asthon ?

[ktCarl]

Is he a young James Asthon ?

He's not a big, power back like Aston was. He's more of a slashing, quick runner like Branch was. When I first saw him last year against Dobie in the playoffs he looked 135lbs soaking wet. He's put on some weight since last year and looks like he can run with authority. He's gonna be one to watch this season.

How 'bout Fuda?! He gets open and makes some good catches.

[Fleeman93]

Once Dean adjusts his vision to the speed at this level then he will be very hard to stop. He is a young back and his vision will come. He has all of the other tools. As I have said in the past, Dean has a very good chance to go down as the best back to play for Katy.

[KT2000]

Dean is a 6'1, 175 pound sophomore with 4.45 speed. He'll probably get up around 190-195 by his senior year and looks like he'll end up getting taller as well given his frame. He's a completely different style back than Aston.

I'm not positive about who started in the 80s, but I don't think Katy has had a sophomore running back get ever earn significant playing time until this year. Jamel Branch was on varsity as a sophomore, but he was a receiver. He didn't play RB until his junior year. Aston didn't play varsity until his junior year. Bronston Carroll didn't play varsity until his junior year. So, Dean already has a one-up on those guys just because of the fact he has the physical make-up and talent to play regularly on varsity already.

Wow, Katy just reloads. Sounds like they have another great young player on the team.

I've heard more then one person say that Dalton might be the best QB ever at Katy. That's impressive.

When I come home I'm going to have to catch a Katy game.

[KT2000]

I don't know about best ever just yet. As far as his raw talent goes, I think he is the best but the overall award goes to Jared Kaspar. Kaspar QBd the Tigers to two state championship games including the 16-0 season in 2000. Tough to top that but we'll see how the team (and Dalton) end up doing this year. Through two games, Dalton has 7 TD passes and 2 INTs.

I need to get out and see a game..... Seems Im always working late on fridays and there's college:( !!!!!!

Kaspar would be hard for me to go against also. He ran that Katy offense like a machine and didnt make many mistakes.

Dalton may be more of a (bluechip) caliber player for the next level.

PS. I was at the 2000 Katy vs Alief Elsik game in the Dome. That RB for Elsik (PJ Daniels) has gone on to a great career at Georgia Tech. He just ran all over Auburn last night.

[poppy]

i agree that kaspar will be tough to top as the all around best qb katy has had
however, dalton is still a better passer than kaspar was at this level.
rob peters was probably the best overall athlete katy has ever had at qb..
but...dalton is still the best pure passer up to this point.
i wonder how many td passes andy dalton would have thrown last year if he had played full time...at least 24 i would think most likely more than that..
humble will be another good test for katy offense... after humble when
district 19-5a starts...can you imagine the stats that the katy offense will put up when the o-line is up to speed and dean starts to see the field a
little better....

[KT2000]

I'm glad I don't have to be the one game planning for teams like Katy, Euless Trinity, Southlake Carroll and a few others who've lit up the field so far.

[Katyexrb29]

Jared by a wide margin with Rob and Matt following. Maybe Im a little biased knowing Jared. I know KT prob agrees that Jared was something special.

[KTFURB]

My vote goes to Jared also. He also had the ability to run with authority. I think he was faster than people gave him credit for and was a load to bring down. I read somewhere that Coach Johnston credited Peters as the best he had ever coached. He did go on to play at the next level, but Kaspar's performance against TJT in the 2000 state game is really hard to top. Basically a perfect game.
Dean appears to be something special. I agree w/2000, that by the time he's a senior he'll be up around 195 to 200 and taller. Makes me think of Eric Dickerson. Time will tell. He seems to pack more of a punch than Brandon even though they weigh in about the same. Both should have some breakaway TD's before the seasons over.
In reading other threads the Lufkin folks were bemoaning an inability to put points on the board. Either they're sandbagging or Ike is REALLY weak. Apparently Humble was able to contain them fairly well in their scrimmage. Which, of course, begs the question as to how good Humble is this year. Not much of a contest against Elsik. They have always had athletes, but, in my opinion have been the biggest underachieving team in the area. North Shore previously had that distinction, but seem to have foound the ability to parlay their athleticism in to a championship caliber program.
It will be interesting to see what kind of defensive scheme Humble will come up with to try and slow down the offense. Its pretty obvious they can no longer sell out for the run, which will open things up a little more for Dean and King. :)

Ditto on Jared although I'm wondering why Dalton wasn't used more last year. I'm guessing it was because you didn't need a great passer with Aston in the backfield.

LOL at Katy usually starts slow. If you play a team like Jersey Village early compared to Lufkin you are going to start fast over slow every time. It depends on who you play!! If you come to Abe at anytime during the season there is a very good chance you are going to get spanked and i do not care who you are. That is just a fact. It has nothing to do with starting slow. Come to Abe and there is a very good chance the game will be over by the 2nd quarter. That is the truth not bragging bs and the scores speak for themselves.

Not you again.
No one said Katy starts slow because they got beat by Lufkin. With the exception of those two Lufkin games Katy usually wins it's first three non-district games but doesn't look like a world beater doing it. We are now so used to seeing the level of execution that we see in the playoffs that we(fans) expect it at the beginning of season also. With the exception of 2000 and this season it doesn't usually happen. The coaches at Katy always build from the first games and tries to get the team peaking close to playoff time. So far it's been working for them real well.

Talk to us about how great you are after you get by SLC!

[poppy]

as far as lufkin.....

i predict they will lose 3 games before the playoffs this year...
i don't see them going anywhere in the playoffs either..

too bad the panthers won't see slc this year because they
won't last that long....

[Tigerjag]

Ditto on Jared although I'm wondering why Dalton wasn't used more last year.


I'm guessing because he ran hot and cold last year as a junior. I don't think we can discount how much Dalton has benefitted from 2 summers of 7on7, either. He's put together two solid summer seasons as the main QB for 7 on 7. He's playing with far more confidence this year than he was last year. He was no shy guy on the field as a junior, by any means, but knowing he's the man and being a team captain has really made a difference for him. He's not cocky, but very calm and confident.

SLC has not came to Abe!! I was not talking about a playoff game at a neutral field. I was talking an early non-district game at Abe. It is a whole different world when you play there!! By the way, Lufkin gave SLC everyting they could handle on a neutral field. I was speaking the truth about Abe i was not saying that Lufkin was the greatest team ever my lord relax. LOL They are next impossible to beat at home though. It is just the truth.

[poppy]

lufkin

lol

abe....come on....
wait till klein forrest gets ahold of the pack....
