Notes:
Katy is the favorite to win the state championship in 2009. Can they win it back to back to back? They have the talent on both sides of the ball plus this team is always well coached and they never make mistakes. Their pre-district schedule is 2nd to none. They will start the season against Galena Park North Shore (78 consecutive regular season wins) and follow that up with The Woodlands (47-0 loss in 2008). Oh...and they will play the Washington State Champion, Bellevue Washington in a "Clash of the Champions II".

Another run to the state championship game is not out of the question. A pre-season prediction could be seeing the Katy Tigers take on Allen or Cedar Hill in the Division II Championship game.
