This is really the 5A D2 State Championship game with #2 Katy Tigers vs. #3 Cibolo Steele Knights. Katy has a potenet high-scoring Offense and Steele has a dominating Defense that has posted two shutouts and allowed 7.25 ppg over the 4 playoff games. Which will be the difference? The Katy Offense or the Steele Defense?

Tepper's Take
Katy vs. Cibolo Steele
And here…we…go. The state semifinals to end all state semifinals goes down this week in the 5A Division II bracket, as two unbeaten and largely unchallenged squads tangle in Waco. Look, there’s no denying how dominant Katy has been – they’ve won their four playoff games by a combined score of 251-38 – and how complete they’ve looked, being almost as dangerous with their ballhawking defense as they have been with their Adam Taylor-led offense. But just as impressive has been the manner by which Steele has gone about their business this season, running the ball with a bruising offensive line plowing the road for Justin Stockton and Jordan Stearns, and leaning on what has been a remarkable defense. I can see this going a number of ways, but Steele does seem uniquely suited to win this one. Run the ball, keep it away from Katy, keep their offense in front of you, prevent the big play, and win an ugly game. The problem is, that’s way, way easier said than done.
Tepper’s pick: Katy 38, Cibolo Steele 21
I disagree with Tepper's pick. I believe that Steele's Defense is the "X-Factor" and will get more stops against the Katy Offense. Steele wins a close one and moves on to the 5A D2 State Championship game for the 3rd year in a row.
