Klein Forest’s Brad Spence is a problem for opposing offenses. The 6-foot-3 defensive end is a nightmare for opposing offensive coordinators and offensive tackles.

Lydia Butler, Klein Oak Cross Country
Sophomore Lydia Butler is the next big thing for Klein Oak cross country. She has put together an amazing fall so far. She led off the year with a win at the Klein Oak Steeple Race in the 3000-meters in August. Butler then finished fourth in the highly-competitive Friday Night Lights in The Woodlands in the 4000 meters. The youngster then earned seventh at the Seven Lakes Spartan Invitational in the 5000 meters followed by a third-place finish at the College Park Invite. Most recently, Butler earned a fifth-place finish at the Hoka/McNeail Elite Invitational in the three-mile run. State is in her sights.
