Whataburger Team of the Week: Klein Delivers Its Best Start in Over 20 Years
Offensively, Klein has found its playmakers. Wide receiver Mike Brown has been a key target in the passing game, while running back Kendrick Brown brings another weapon to the Bearkats' attack. Quarterback Carter Lattelle has helped lead the offense as Klein continues to stack wins.
But the story doesn't stop on offense.
The Bearkats' defense has been downright punishing, surrendering just seven points per game and setting the tone for a team that can win in multiple ways.
Now, with Tomball looming, Klein has an opportunity to add another chapter to an already memorable season. The Bearkats have captured the attention of the Houston-area football community, but the mission remains the same: keep winning and prove this historic start is only the beginning.
Whataburger Team of the Week: Commanding Win Shows Why Pearland Remains a Threat
As the defending district champions, the ultimate decider could come at the end of October when Pearland meets Shadow Creek. But with Manvel now checked off the list, the Oilers have another obstacle behind them as they turn their attention to Alvin this Friday night.
Offensively, Pearland has found plenty of ways to keep defenses on their heels. Junior running back Royce Swan, a second-team all-district selection in 2025, is thriving as the RB1 and approaching 1,000 rushing yards with 13 touchdowns on the year. Senior Ryan Miller has provided an excellent complementary piece with eight scores of his own.
Senior quarterback Kaleb Smith has also proven adept at spreading the wealth to a receiving corps featuring Lance Goree Jr., KJ Johnson, and Michael Shawver.
The defense has been just as imposing, conceding roughly 10 points per contest. Houston commit Kamryn Harris has been a menace off the edge with five sacks and 34 total tackles, while junior middle linebacker Terrence Spriggs has already racked up 60 tackles. Safety Terrell Johnson adds another layer of physicality against the run while creating turnovers, with two forced fumbles and an interception.
Six games in, Pearland has already made a statement. The Oilers now have their sights set on what comes next.
