55 WHEREAS, The Katy High School Tigers football team won the
66 2008 University Interscholastic League 5A Division II state
77 championship with a 17-3 victory over Wylie High School on December
88 20 at Reliant Stadium in Houston; and
99 WHEREAS, This title game triumph gave Katy its second
1010 consecutive state crown and the sixth in school history, with other
1111 titles coming in 1959, 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2007; and
1212 WHEREAS, Overcoming two early-season losses, the Tigers were
1313 inspired by the steady leadership of head coach Gary Joseph, taking
1414 to heart his emphasis on perseverance as they rebounded to finish
1515 the season with a record of 13 wins and just 3 defeats; a key to
1616 Katy's success in 2009 was a smothering defense that held opponents
1717 without a touchdown in four separate contests; the Tigers also got a
1818 boost from their dominating victory over a high school team from
1919 Florida in a game broadcast live on ESPN in October, which was the
2020 school's first-ever national television appearance; and
2121 WHEREAS, In the championship game, the defense set the tone
2222 early as linebacker Sebi Carbajal, the game's defensive MVP,
2323 recorded a sack to thwart Wylie's opening possession; Katy's ground
2424 attack asserted itself late in the first half, as Michael Webber
2525 scored the first of his two touchdowns to give the Tigers a halftime
2626 lead of 10-0; the rushing game continued to roll in the second half
2727 as running back Will Jeffery, the game's offensive MVP, picked up
2828 more than 80 of his 148 total yards; the defense continued to do its
2929 part as well, and when the final seconds ticked off the clock, the
3030 Katy High School team had once again proven itself the finest 5A
3131 Division II football squad in the Lone Star State; and
3232 WHEREAS, The members of the 2008 Katy High School
3333 championship football team are fine upstanding young men; proudly

6666 justifiable pride in their outstanding accomplishment; now,
