where did that come from

quote:

---

well, West Monroe beat Midland Lee by 3 TD's when they had won three TX state championships in a row.

Four...36-8...

I don't think it is. Rice stadium is packed but not sold out. It's on 1560am

Katy td. 7-3 tigers 9:05 left in the 2nd

Katy driving with 1:23 left in 2nd. 1st down at the 13

Wow. With 25 seconds before the half Katy channels its inner LSU and gives up an 80 yard td.

17-14 pearland

Halftime and Katy trails 17-14.

On a side note, how the hell is it 78 degrees on December 4th. FML

I mean, I agree. But that doesn't mean they have owned 5A. In fact, there are three dominant teams.

I'm just trying to make a more nuanced/refined statement. I think it is more accurate to say Katy has been one of the three most dominant programs in the decade.
