Football: The Woodlands feels Katy's wrath

SHENANDOAH, Texas – The Katy Tigers are perennial powers in Texas high school football. They flexed their muscles on Saturday night in Woodforest Band Stadium, rolling past The Woodlands Highlanders 63-10.

Katy won the battle of field position early on and then dominated the line of scrimmage, piling up 516 yards of offense.

The Highlanders came up with 304 yards of their own, including a 73-yard touchdown pass from Highlanders quarterback Blaine Gillespie to Houston Brown. Alex Garcia added a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.

But by then, the Tigers had scored 35 points and led 35-10 at intermission.

Gillespie finished with 257 yards passing (15-37-2) but The Woodlands managed just 47 rushing yards on 31 tries. Patrick Carr went for 43 of those, on 12 carries.

Houston Brown led all receivers with six catches for 129 yards. Sean McCanna added 84 yards on five pass receptions.

Katy’s Adam Taylor rushed for 183 yards and five touchdowns on 24 carries to lead the Tigers’ 410-yard ground attack.
