Who will win this matchup?
This matchup is shaping up to be a compelling contrast in styles, and the Atascocita Eagles have the edge. While Katy has a long and storied history of success, their season started with a surprising 34-21 loss to Dickinson. The Tigers’ offense struggled, managing only 157 total yards. Atascocita, on the other hand, had a strong season opener, overcoming an early 14-0 deficit to beat Lamar 48-28. The Eagles’ high-powered offense, led by senior running back Cardae Mack and junior quarterback Isaiah Rasheed, has a proven ability to score points in bunches. Katy will rely on its defense and star running back Tremayne Hill, but Atascocita’s offensive versatility and momentum from their season-opening win give them the advantage. Expect the Eagles to leverage their potent offense to secure a statement victory over the Tigers.
