It may be June, but a couple of web publications have put out their preseason rankings for the coming football season. One has ranked the top 25 teams in the state, while one has already came out with the top teams from around the country. And both rankings have a familiar local team ranked at the top of both.
Yep, you guessed it. Katy.
The Tigers are the preseason No. 1 according to 5ATexasFooball.com’s preseason rankings after winning its second straight state title. Round Rock Stony Point comes in second, Cedar Hill is third and Southlake Carroll and Allen round out the top five.
As far as Houston-area teams, North Shore is No. 9, followed by Division I state finalist Hightower. Klein Oak comes in at No. 20, with The Woodlands at No. 22, followed by Cinco Ranch and Pearland.
But back to Katy. The Tigers also ranked high in the MaxPreps.com Xcellent 25 early contenders list, coming in at No. 3. Only St. Thomas Aquinas of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and Duncan (S.C.) Byrnes came in high on the list. Other Texas teams mentioned are Allen at No. 4 and Cedar Hill at No. 13.
Also of interest, Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks, Calif., was No. 5 on the list. Why do we care? Because Klein Oak will face the Irish as part of the Herbstreit Varsity Series on Sept. 7 at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
