Katy to Have Convention Center
On Monday, January 12th the Katy City Council, The
City Planning and Zoning Commission and the Katy
Development Authority convened in a special Workshop
Session prior to the regular City Council meeting to discuss
the proposed Katy Boardwalk plans. A draft plan was laid
out by Kerry Gilbert of Kerry R. Gilbert & Associates a
Cinco Ranch based Land planning consulting firm.
The district plan would not only include the proposed
boardwalk but would also include a convention center,
hotel, parking garage, and city park which would overlook
an 89 acre lake, as well as an outdoor plaza and two traffic
turnabouts. It would also have restaurants, retail shops,
office space and a residential area. Gilbert stated that the
planning committee and the firm took numerous trips to
other communities that had such districts such as The
Woodlands and Sugarland in order to come up with a plan
that would work in Katy. More than anything they wanted
to create a mechanism for the new development in the
Katy Mills area.
The estimated cost of the project would be $48.8 million
which has been adjusted for inflation and would take
between 8 to 10 years “to develop out”.
The City of Katy would not be paying for all the costs
of the development, instead it would pay for items like the
convention center and parking garage. Developers would
be required to pay for the infrastructure work and other
projects and amenities.
BGE | Kerry Gilbert & Associates
Steve Robinson with Kerry R. Gilbert & Associates explained that the city would
require developers to sign performance-warranted contract like they did with Katy Mills
and then pay them back if they make vertical improvements.
Robinson went on to suggest that the Katy Development Authority extend the Katy
Mills Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone to finance the
project. The Katy Mills TIRZ was established by KDA in
1998 to help finance the mall project. This was a 20 year
financing plan and The Katy Mills debt was paid off in 14
years. The TIRZ is scheduled to terminate in 2018.
Gilbert made several recommendations with regards
to the Boardwalk District including adopting more
restrictive zoning regulations and establishing standards
for landscaping, set-backs, architecture and signage.
These recommendations will make sure to protect Katy’s
interests.
Robinson stated that the firm will bring a final plan
before the City Council in its regular scheduled meeting
on Monday, January 26th.

level, Houston Public Media Spelling Bee was eighth
grader, Georgia Klar, daughter of Henry and Michelle
Klar. In the 14th and Championship Round, the winning
word was umami. Georgia will advance to the private
school district competition for Harris County Private
Schools Spelling Bee in February.
Forty-seven minutes into the competition, the 13th
round (after 27 competitors had been eliminated) had
begun with Klar spelling ‘doubloons’ correctly. Second
place winner, Jonathan Rightmire, misspelled neophyte
by replacing the “y” with an “i.”
The next word was given to Klar, and if spelled
correctly, she would take the championship. “Umami:
U-M-A-M-I,” Klar spelled correctly and the audience
immediately began to applaud.
This was the second time Klar won the school-level
competition. In 2013, at the age of twelve, she ousted
32 of the top spellers at Faith West. Klar attributes her
success to being an avid reader. Her favorite author is
John A. Graham, which she describes his writings to be
“realistic fiction.”
Klar is on the junior high cheer team that just returned
from Nationals in Florida. She is also an excellent

I-10 Shootout
final results….
GOAL!!! The I-10 Shootout
It’s I-10 Shootout tournament time again for all seven Katy ISD
girls varsity soccer teams. The Shootout was Jan. 14 – 16. The
annual Tournament this year consisted of 56 varsity teams, including
schools from the Houston area and some from as far away as Dallas,
San Antonio and Austin. In addition to the varsity squads, 36 junior
varsity teams competed against each other. The field included 40
playoff teams from 2014, including Cinco Ranch, Seven Lakes and
Taylor.
This year is the 10th year for the I-10 Shootout. The three day
event has non-stop soccer going on beginning Thursday, Friday
with games played at the different Katy ISD campuses. Winners of
the seven brackets advanced to the championship round at Rhodes
Stadium, Saturday, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and continuing until
10:00 p.m. In 2014 Cinco Ranch, Katy and Morton Ranch won their
brackets.
The I-10 Shootout is a 501 3C non-profit organization, formed
with the intention of raising money for scholarships for Katy ISD
girls that are part of soccer programs. The Shootout is now probably
the largest girl’s high school soccer tournament in Texas.
“It’s not always a soccer player that receives scholarships,” said
Drew Edwards, I-10 Shootout Tournament Director. “It might be a
manager or trainer. Originally we had three or four brackets. Now
there are seven full brackets and all seven of the high schools.”
Money is raised mainly through ticket sales, t-shirt sales and
through sponsorships. “Tournament fees barely offsets referee
costs,” adds Edwards. “We’ve raised probably $20-25,000 the last
couple of years that was given out as scholarships to the girls.”

Cinco Ranch Cougars, Seven Lakes Spartans and Taylor
Mustangs Have Playoff Aspirations
Last year the Cinco Ranch Lady
Cougars made it all the way to the semifinal game for the state championship
and head coach Freddy Sanguinetti says
the girls have the same expectations for
this year. Going into the I-10 Shootout
the Lady Cougars had a record of 3-1,
losing to Round Rock Westwood.
“We always like to say first time was
great, the second time is going to be
harder,” said Sanguinetti. “We hope that
playing like a team, becoming a unit, will
get us where we want to go, but there are
some tough obstacles in our region. Just
getting out of district will be tough. Our
district has been well represented in the
playoffs, regionals as well in the state
these past couple of years.”
Sanguinetti evaluates some of the
Cougars opponents: “Taylor and Seven
Lakes are both tough. I think Seven
Lakes has 9 or 10 girls that have been
playing varsity who have been together
since they were sophomores.
The Lady Spartans have played in the
regional playoffs in five of the last six
seasons. Returning first team all district
players, Bri Aheimer, Katy Byrne,
Racheal Cecil, Sarah Gavin, and Junique
Rodriguez are a big reason Seven Lakes
is No. 1 in the preseason Region III
rankings.
“They will be a team to beat,”
continues Sanguinetti. “Taylor does a
really good job and you know they are
going to be in the hunt. Tompkins, a new
varsity team, has won some games. We
know the Tompkins game is going to be
really difficult because they are hungry to
get wins and make it to the playoffs.
The Cougar Region III-5A champs
return several key players, including
district defender of the year, Maddie
Gallagher and big scoring forwards Taryn
Siegele and Haleanne Dure. Midfielder
Kristen Hutar and Defender Julianna
Echavarry. The team is listed No 8 in the
state and No. 2 in the region in preseason
rankings.
“We need to make sure our younger
girls get experience right now in the
preseason, get them up to par. Playing
club soccer like many of the girls have,
and playing high school soccer…it’s very
different.” The physicality of the high
school game and playing against girls of
different ages makes a big difference.
“In high school some girls, 14-15
years old, are going up against girls 1819 years old, a huge difference between
playing club and high school soccer.”
Taylor – “A young but a fairly
experienced team”
Taylor and Seven Lakes met in the
third round of the playoffs last year
with Taylor losing to the Lady Spartans.
The previous year the Mustangs made
it all the way to the State finals. The
Mustang’s won loss record going into the
I-10 Shootout was 2-0-1
Returning players are senior Middle
Fielder, Mary Heiberger, one of the
Mustang captains. Heiberger has
committed to Texas Tech. Sarah Bayhi,
the other captain, a defender, is a junior
and is already committed to UTSA.
Haley Tredway, defender is going to
Georgia Southern.
“We looked really good at times this
year,” said head coach Mark Kluppel.
“We still have some things to learn and
figure out as well, same as everybody at
this time
“It’s a young team but a lot of returning
players.” Kluppel says he has six seniors,
four sophomores returning, “a young
team but fairly experienced team.”
Strengths: “Goal keeper Rachel Gries
is back from an ACL injury. We are
hopeful Ally Brittain will continue to
score goals and get assists. Ally was on
the varsity as a freshman. Sophomore,
Ashley Seibert, a forward, has two goals
in three games and seven assists. Ashley
played mostly on the JV A team last year,
but did get moved up to varsity from time
to time.”
Kluppel thinks that his defense has
done well. “On the offense, we are kind
of a work in progress in our attack so
far. Some games we looked good, other
games we sputtered a bit.”
The immediate goals of Kluppel is
experimenting with some new systems of
play, trying some new people at different
positions, new combinations, see how
things work in the early season, and get
ready for district.
Tompkins, Mayde Creek and Morton
Ranch, are going to make for an
interesting District girls’ soccer season.
