A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers challenges the Katy Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Paetow is coming into the game hot, having won their last six games.
Last Friday, Paetow was fully in charge, breezing past Seven Lakes 37-7 at home. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 129th, while the Spartans are ranked 355th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Katy waltzed into their contest on Friday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They walked away with a 17-10 victory over the Warriors. The 17-point effort marked the Tigers' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Tremayne Hill was his usual excellent self, rushing for 120 yards.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Katy was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 238 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Jordan only rushed for 65.
Paetow pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. As for Katy, their record now sits at an identical 6-1.
Paetow might still be hurting after the 31-7 defeat they got from Katy when the teams last played back in October of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Hill, who rushed for 186 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry.
