6A Team of the Week: Summer Creek Bulldogs
Summer Creek welcomed Klein Collins in a showdown between two of the best teams in the Houston area. With Klein Collins coming in as the 13th ranked team in the state and Summer Creek just a spot behind them at 14, most expected a close game.
The Bulldogs had other ideas.
In a complete performance on both sides of the ball, they shut out Klein Collins in a 34-0 romp. The Tigers finished with just 189 yards of total offense.
For the Bulldogs’ offense, quarterback Blake Thomas and running back Lloyd Avant, a Tulsa commit, led the way. Thomas threw for 149 yards and two touchdowns, while Avant added another 121 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He also had a 51-yard touchdown reception.

Defensively, linebacker Xavier Atkins and defensive linemen Kaleb Walker and Jashaud Johnson all finished with three tackles for loss.
This victory closes the book on an impressive non-district slate for the Bulldogs. They’ll now turn their attention to District 21-6A play with North Shore, Atascocita, and CE King all waiting as opponents.
Summer Creek will have a bye week to prepare for that gauntlet before travelling east to take on Beaumont West Brook on Sept. 22.
