Xcellent 25 teams to face off in Texas 6A/Division II semifinals.
Video: Top 10 Games of the Week(6) Katy (Texas) vs. (18) Steele (Cibolo, Texas)
Saturday, 2 p.m. Central timeWhy it's big: No. 6 Katy (14-0) was unable to record its 10th shutout of the season, but still prevailed comfortably over Manvel in last week's 6A/Division II quarterfinals, 35-17. Senior running back
Kyle Porter – rated a four-star prospect by 247Sports – had over 200 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Steele (14-0) reached at least the state semifinals for the sixth-straight year by downing Schertz Clemens, 35-14. A win Saturday would allow the Knights to avenge losses against Katy in the 2012 and 2014 semifinals.
Names to watch: Katy's phenomenal defense – which has allowed only 55 points in 14 games – has at least six players currently holding FBS scholarship offers. The group includes Houston-bound safety
Collin Wilder, the District 19-6A Defensive MVP last season.
Steele's defense features three players who have recorded more than 20 tackles for loss this season. The trio includes senior defensive end
Mark Jackson, a Texas A&M recruit and four-star prospect according to 247Sports.
