Homecoming The Excitement Mounted When Homecoming '86 rolled around in early October the Tigers had an outstanding record of 4-0.

Since Mayde Creek had been the newest school to be in the 17-5A district many schools had picked them to play against them for their Homecomings. September 27 through October 4 was probably one of the most exciting weeks of the high school year. The cheerleaders sponsored dress-up days from Monday to Friday.

Almost Perfeci 90 Close, And Yei So Far When the Katy Tigers hit the Astrodome floor on Saturday, November 15, to take on the Madison Marlins, the Big Red machine was pumped up and ready to go. After 22 years, the Tigers went into the first round of the Texas High School Playoffs. The town of Katy roared its support by bringing over 10,000 proud fans to the dome to cheer on the 'Men in the Red' ' It was exciting being in the playoffs and being able to play in the dome. We made history for Katy High School, said Rusty Sarver, senior. Everybody had a real good attitude going into the game. We were all confident we could win, said Danny Wiggins, senior. However, the Tigers were not in top form. They committed seven turnovers and allowed the Marlins to score on two long plays. Although the Katy gridiron stars fell short on the scoreboard, they fought hard and hit the Marlins to the best of their ability. Wiggins added, We went out in the first half and didn't play as well as we knew we were capable of playing. Then we went out in the second half and scored on our first possession. After that, we did gain some confidence back. Several errors such as turnovers and mental mistakes contributed to the team,s loss. The offense turned the ball over only ten times throughout the whole season and had seven turnovers in the Madison game. I don't think it was the errors that hurt us the most. I think it showed how much we worked during off-season, the summer, and during the season. We set one of our goals as District Champs and never wanted anything less. I think it was a remarkable achievement for the team, it showed the determination of the squad and the ability of the players we had this year. Even though this unexpected loss was hard to swallow, the Tigers had a tremendous reason to be proud. They set many records, achieved many goals, and pleased a lot of fans in route to a 10-0 regular season. Their first playoff appearance in 22 years was unsuccessful, but the Tigers of 1986 were a proud, strong, and courageous group of men. was the inexperience of being in By Chad Dickson McMillan the playoffs, said Sarver.
