Atascocita at Katy - 2022 Week 2 Houston High School Football Game of the Week
IT'S ONLY THE 2ND WEEK OF THE SEASON BUT BOTH OF THESE TEAMS WERE IN PLAYOFF FORM AS KATY WOULD DRAW FIRST BLOOD...CALEB KOGER ON THE BOOTLEG DECIDES TO KEEP IT HIMSELF AND THE SENIOR SHOWING OFF SOME SPEED AS HE WINS THIS FOOTRACE TO THE PYLON TO MAKE IT 7-0 TIGERS.
ATASCOCITA WOULD MATCH IT, THIS ONE FROM THE SAME SPOT ON THE FIELD - SAME PLAY CALL AND SAME RESULT BUT THIS TIME IT'S THROUGH THE AIR...ZION BROWN TO CLAUDE SLAUGHTER AND WE'RE TIED AT 7.
THE EAGLE OFFENSE ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL AGAINST THE KATY DEFENSE, LATER ITS BROWN ROLLING OUT AGAIN AND HE PUTS SOME NICE TOUCH ON THIS ONE TO KYRAN LEE, HE MAKES A DEFENDER MISS AS ATASCOCITA TAKES THEIR FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME AT 14-7.
KATY RESPONDS THROUGH THE AIR AS KOGER...LOOKING FOR BIG YARDAGE DOWN THE FIELD AND HE'S GOT HIS MAN! OLIVER GINN GETS IT DOWN TO THE 1 YARD LINE TO SET UP A SCORE TO TIE IT AT 14 AS WE HEAD TO THE INTERMISSION.
IN THE 2ND HALF KATY WOULD RETAKE THE LEAD AS KOGER FITS THIS ONE INTO A TIGHT WINDOW TO ADAM JACKSON, THATS A GREAT PITCH AND CATCH TO MAKE IT 21-14 TIGERS!
NO PANIC FROM ATASCOCITA THOUGH AS TORY BLAYLOCK CAPS THIS DRIVE FROM 4 YARDS OUT TO TIE AT 21, BACK AND FORTH WE GO!
SO WE MOVE TO THE 4TH QUARTER, STILL TIED AT 21 WHEN COGER FINDS MICAH KOENIG IN THE BACK OF THE ENDZONE, 201 YARDS AND 2 TD PASSES FOR KOGER AS KATY EXTENDS THE LEAD TO 28-21.
BLACK WOULD CAP ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE SCORING DRIVE FOR ATASCOCITA AS HE GOES IN UNTOUCHED TO TIE THE GAME AT 28 WITH JUST UNDER 3 MINUTES LEFT TO PLAY.
BUT AS THEY'VE DONE SO MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS THOUGH, KATY RESPONDS ON THE GROUND AS SETH DAVIS TAKES THE PITCH AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF SOME GREAT BLOCKING UP FRONT AND HOUSES IT FROM 53 YARDS, GIVE HIM 193 ON THE NIGHT AS THEY HANG ON FOR A HARD FOUGHT 35-28 WIN - BOTH OF THESE TEAMS LOOK PLAYOFF READY!
