1) Christian Pack - Conroe QB
This was the performance of the week! Christian Pack accounted for 586 yards of total offense and six touchdowns in a 58-55 victory over Klein Cain. Pack was 23 of 37 for 371 yards, 4 TDs and 2 INTs; rushed for 201 yards and a score on 25 carries and had one reception for 14 yards and a score. Pack was unstoppable and was a lot of fun to watch.

2) Kevin "Captain Clutch" Luna - Splendora Kicker
Trailing 14-13 with 11 seconds remaining against Liberty, Marcus Schulz opted to go for the lead-changing field goal. Schulz turned to his freshman kicker Kevin Luna. Despite a high snap, Luna was able to nail the 28-yard game winner, sending the Splendora sideline into a frenzy.
"For a freshman to come in and do the job he has done so far is a huge weapon for us," Schulz said. "We graduated an All-State kicker last season in Damian Casas and Kevin is already filling those shoes. The snap was high and holder CJ Groh had to stand up and put it down. Luna had to pause and wait a split second before kicking the game winner!"
Luna is 12 of 13 on extra points this season and 2 for 2 in field goals, hitting one from 37 and 28 this season.
Wildcats win! 16 point dog??? Great job fighting and finding a way to WIN! WE SEE RED! @SplendoraISD @Athletics_SISD @jslade34 @ConroeSports @jokoch09 pic.twitter.com/KEwefOwW9l

Dynamic Duo: Conroe's Pack and Phoenix continue Impressive season
Sep 29, 2019
KLEIN – District 15-6A is loaded with traditional Houston powers, including The Woodlands, Klein Collins and a rising Klein Oak.
But the best quarterback-wide receiver combo in the nine-team grouping doesn't call any of them home. Instead, Christian Pack and Michael Phoenix – the top receiver and quarterback heading into Week 5 according to the stats report – pull on the black and gold of Conroe.
Pack and Phoneix, which could be the name of a law firm in the Galleria, have the connection. It's so good that even defenders tipping passes into the air doesn't hinder it.
The duo combined for seven receptions for 165 yards and three touchdowns in the first half alone against Klein Cain en route to a 58-55 victory on Saturday.
"It says a lot, those guys started working on this in the offseason, it started as a matter of fact when we came back from Christmas break," Conroe coach Cedric Hardeman said. "I had those 45 seniors in the team room and addressed them. From that day on those guys have prepared and went to work.
"It's a lot of other people behind the scenes. It's the coaching staff, Coach Bomar gets a lot of credit but we have a tremendous staff. From O-Line to receivers to running backs coach."
