I say all this to put Texas high school football in perspective. Katy High School is near Houston (5 hrs away). They are one of the top 3 programs in the state year in and year out. They pack 15,000 for their games and their fans are as loyal as Husker fans. When they play in the state Championship... they play at Cowboys Stadium and the 2 teams playing will easily bring 30,000-40,000. So for us to get Adam Taylor is a HUGE get. Just to make in's with that program is huge for us.
As a loyal Katy fan, I think it would be a benefit for Katy as well as Nebraska for Nebraska to have an open door at Katy HS. I think there may be some players at Katy that may not fit the exact template that the Nebraske coaches are looking for as far as Ht, Wt, speed, etc. However the intangibles that come with
these Katy players may give your coaches pause to provide an opportunity for a Katy player that may not otherwise may not have been given.
So, that being said, maybe a few of you Husker fans that live in the Houston area might want to come to film night and get a dose of our culture. The rules are: It is open for all and all are welcome. You may see some film and comments fron the coaching staff that may cause you to take a closer look at some of our players. All the position coaches will be there and will make comments as they roll thru the Championship Game video. They will show you why or why a play did not work. You will get a good understanding
about the character, discipline, fundamentals and team first attitude that is built into these Katy players.
This film night will also be a validation of Caoch Joseph's old school coaching philosophy. Expect a standing room only crowd and a red faced Coach J. when he enters the room to a thunderous standing ovation. If you ever get him off the gridiron you'll find
he really is a quiet, respectful and very humble guy. It is always a lot of fun and you will find out that at Katy it really is about the "kids". If you get to know and respect out football culture at Katy ... you will be surprised how accessible our program is.
Ya'll come, it is always fun.
TAKE A LEFT AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BLDG AND A RIGHT BEFORE THE BASEBALL FIELD AND ALL THE WAY TO THE END AND FIELD HOUSE WILL BE ON THE RIGHT. OH, and wear red, but they will let you in no matter what color you wear. I'm sure spirit gear will be available
so you can do some shopping if you wish
