The Katy Tigers will be one of twelve high school football teams featured in a new book, Gridiron Dynasties, written by Gavin Kralik of Seattle. From 2003-2007 The Katy Tigers had a combined record of 70-5. Along the way in the past five seasons the Katy Tigers have also won two large classification (5A) state championships in the state of Texas.

Along with analyzing common denominators throughout these twelve programs, this book also examines the unique formulas and strategies that each of these schools have used to build a …Gridiron Dynasty.
The book will be released on August 29th, 2008 and will be available for purchase here. The price is $19.95.
