Katy Texas Sharing information pertinent to users located in or from the city of Katy, Texas I always get back to the old photos and good news quickly. Carol Adams

This is a private page created to share old and new photographs and helpful information relative to the City of Katy. It is not affiliated with the municipality of the City of Katy.
___________
I created this page in 2012 when I was on City Council and the city administrator told me the city could never have any kind of social media. I'd hoped to morph it into some kind of City page one day, but t

hat became impossible after the 2013 city election. The City of Katy later created their own page, and I've kept this one because I like a venue to share some of the cool old photos I've collected and enjoy helping get answers to questions, sharing news, etc. From the start, the top paragraph has been in place clearly stating that this page is private and not affiliated with the City of Katy. When I do get questions that should go to the city I forward those to the city. The page is private property and opinions expressed are my own as well as those of thousands who comment on posts. From time to time I may use it for personal endorsements or political commentary because, well, it is my page and I can do that. Comments are welcome and friendly differences of opinion are fine. I reserve the right to hide or delete comments that are delusive or offensive and/or block users who post them.

6A DI State Champs: Katy Tigers

AUSTIN — From the moment Katy arrived in Austin, the Lady Tigers looked like a team on a mission.

On Saturday evening, that mission was accomplished as Katy defeated Forney 7-2 to secure the program's third UIL state championship and first since 2019.

Behind a championship performance from freshman pitcher Haley Schmitt and a balanced offensive attack that produced 10 hits, the Lady Tigers captured the UIL Class 6A Division II State Championship at Red & Charline McCombs Field and added another trophy to one of Texas high school softball's most accomplished traditions.
