Turkey – Katy Tigers
The more I think on it, Katy is the perfect turkey.
Ask someone to rattle off Thanksgiving dishes and 99.9% start with turkey. It will be on the family table until the end times. Katy is a signature brand of TXHSFB that will always be in championship contention come December. The Tigers' last losing season was 1990; they're tied for the most state championship appearances in UIL history with 15, and head coach Gary Joseph has a career record of 276-30.
Turkey is not universally beloved. One, people love being contrarians and hating on the best. Two: turkey has been accused of being dry. Katy has run the same Power I-formation offense since Joseph arrived as the school's defensive coordinator in 1982. The running joke within the program is that players from 30 years ago could still call plays.
Turkey is also consistent. Over the years, families have tried to add more protein dishes to spice things up, just as Katy ISD has added nine high schools since Joseph took the job in the early 80s.
