GRR: Katy Barbarians
Katy defeated St. Thomas of Houston 62-7 in Texas HS D1 East Division action, showing once again that Katy is a team to watch.

Texas team Katy took a two-game trip to Louisiana and came out with two big victories this weekend.
St. Pius X pulled off something of a shock result Thursday night, defeating the Katy Barbarians 17-15 on the final play of the game.
The result pushed St. Pius X to 6-3 and dropped Katy to 5-4 and ensured that both of those teams will be in the Rugby Texas playoffs. As a result, also, St. Thomas, a team St. Pius beat 10-0 earlier in the season, has been eliminated from the playoffs.
Here’s the latest from Rugby Texas.
