They were just one part of a punishing run game: Memorial was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 288 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards every time they've taken the field this season.
Meanwhile, Katy was fully in charge on Thursday, breezing past George Ranch 42-7. The Tigers pushed the score to 42-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Longhorns cut but never quite recovered from.
Memorial better keep an eye on Tremayne Hill. He was instrumental in Katy's win, rushing for 144 yards and two TDs on only 12 carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 78 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Katy's defense and their three sacks. Munachi Obeta was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Reid Garrelts was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing one fumble, and making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Memorial's record now sits at 10-1. As for Katy, their record is now 9-2.
Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Memorial has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 245.8 rushing yards per game.

There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
