Katy’s strategy heading into Friday’s playoff contest was simple: feed Mississippi State commit Seth Davis. The senior running back feasted on Houston C.E. King’s defensive line, contributing heavily to the Tigers’ 56-34 victory.
Katy heads to the Class 6A Division II state semifinals for the third straight season.
On Davis’s first touch of the game, the senior running back scrambled up the middle, broke a tackle, and sprinted for a 69-yard touchdown. In total, the entire sequence took 15 seconds off the clock. The team’s next possession, Davis scored again, taking the ball 42-yards to the house. In total, both scores occurred in the game’s first minute.
At the end of regulation, Davis managed 300 rushing yards and six touchdowns. A three star high school prospect, Davis surpassed the 2,000+ yards benchmark on the season for the second consecutive year.
The Tigers next take the field in the Class 6A Division II state semifinals against the Vandegrift Vipers. Vandegrift avenged their sole loss of the season by besting Dripping Springs 27-24.
