3-22-12 "Katy sets sights on postseason" by Jason McDaniel, Freelance Writer for Houston Chronicle
Tom McPherson, who's in his 25th season as Katy's baseball coach, picked up his 600th career win in the second game of last season. It was a big milestone that he enjoyed adding to his resume.

Another exciting year of Katy baseball is upon us and the baseball program is asking for your support. Katy athletes have always been a strong force in our community and the community has always taken pride and supported all of our amateur athletes.
What we need is to be able to provide the baseball program the rest of the financial support needed for the consumable and depreciable items that our annual budget doesn't support. Items such as additional baseballs and gear and items that degrade like pitching mounds and home plate covers, fence boards and tires on the portable hitting cages.
The 2012 Katy"Wish List" handout is below. If you are interested in donating any of the items on the Wish List or would like to make a monetary donation to go toward any of these items, please contact Teri Gaffney at gaffneykaty@aol.com for more information.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of the Katy Tigers.
2012 Katy Invitational Varsity Baseball Tournament
The Katy Tigers will host the 2012 Katy Invitational Varsity Baseball Tournament on March 1-3 where five premier Houston area teams (Katy, Pearland Dawson, Kingwood Park, Cy Lakes and Oak Ridge) will be competing for bragging rights and where coaches will be developing their strategies and rosters for the upcoming season. A spring training showcase right here in our own back yard. We would like to invite all of you to come out and watch some great Tiger Baseball !
We are currently looking for sponsors for this upcoming tournament to cover the cost of umpires, game balls, tournament programs, extra field usages, etc. Our sponsorship levels range from $25 to $500. Recognition of our sponsors will be given throughout the tournament as well as a listing or ad in our tournament program. Below you will find the sponsorship form handout.
Your continued support of the Katy Tiger Baseball program is greatly appreciated.
