Katy checked off it’s first goal of the season on Friday.

But the team is spending little time before moving on to goal number two.

The Tigers came into the season with their goals being to win a district title and win a state championship.

Katy clinched the outright District 19-6A championship on Friday, beating Morton Ranch 66-15.

It meant a lot to the players to win a district championship this year, but they are already thinking about their next goal.

“It feels great to achieve one the of the goals we set out for at the beginning of the season, it feels reall good to achieve that,” said senior linebacker Ty Kana. “But right now, we have bigger goals in mind. Winning district is great, but we’re hoping to win state and that’s what we are working towards.”

The Tigers were all business Friday, and it showed in their performance on the field. Under a minute into the game, Caleb Koger hit JR Ceyanes on a comeback route and the receiver broke a tackle before racing down the sideline for a touchdown.

Under three minutes later, Seth Davis ran in a 25-yard score and he also ran in a 26-yard run in the first quarter to make it 21 -0 at the end of the first quarter.

Katy was able to put in some of their backups in early and Dallas Glass ran in touchdowns of 2 and 68 yards in the second quarter before Josh Johnson got Morton Ranch on the board with a 25-yard pass to Santana Scott. But Katy responded immediately with a 58-yard run from Davis to put the game to bed before halftime.

“We just did what we do,” said quarterback Caleb Koger. “We ran the ball and with the run game it gave me perfect play action and I was able to find people wide open.”

Johnson got another touchdown back for Morton Ranch in the third quarter on a 15 yard run. But Glass and Nathan Wilson responded with touchdown runs for Katy.

It was a shorthanded Katy team that had to face Morton Ranch and with playoffs starting next week, the Tigers hope to regain some of their health.

“The biggest key for us is getting our kids well,” said Katy head coach Gary Joseph. “We had a lot of them out tonight, but you have to have a program that can survive injuries and having a program where you can be competitive when you are injuries. The kids came in and stepped up and played well enough for us to win tonight. But that’s the big key and I’m anxious to get them all back out there.”

Katy celebrated after the victory, but by the time they got to the locker room they were already focused on who their next opponent would be.

“We’ve already flipped the switch on to the next goal,” Koger said. “Coach Joseph always says celebrate that night and now its on to the next one, and that’s what we are going to do.”

Katy will play either Fort Bend Bush or Fort Bend Clements in the bi-district round at 6 p.m. next Friday at Legacy Stadium.

“It starts with preparation and practice. We have to keep it up tempo in practice moving forward,” Kana said. “It’s getting kind of late in the season so we can’t slack off and we have to prevent stuff like that, keep going hard and focus on the main goal.”
