Klein Forest held on to defeat Humble 24-17 in a nondistrict game Thursday night at Turner Stadium.

The Eagles improved to 2-0 for the second straight season while the Wildcats fell to 1-1.

“It’s good to see us battle through adversity,” Klein Forest coach Jonathan Wilson said. “Last year we would get in those moments, and we would shut down and wouldn’t win. Now, we know how to win football games and that’s something we didn’t have last season.” 

Parker Jenkins, a University of Houston commit, provided the winning score when he returned a kickoff 95 yards for the touchdown for a 24-17 lead with 3:37 left in the game.

The Eagles then put the game away on Edward Blacklock's interception.

“That was big for us,” Wilson said of Jenkins’ kickoff return. “He’s a playmaker and you always want your best players to have the ball in their hands when the game is on the line.”

Klein Forest’s Dario Salazar opened the scoring with a 41-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead with 12 seconds left in the first quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff, Salazar saved a touchdown with a hard-hitting tackle on Humble’s Damarion Collins. 

Humble entered the game with a new look on offense, as starting quarterback Tristen Bernard suffered a season-ending right shoulder injury in the Wildcats’ season-opening win over Channelview. Damian Barajas started for the Wildcats on Thursday and hadn’t played quarterback since his freshman season.

“It’s tough,” Humble coach Marcus Schulz said of losing Bernard. “I have seen him mature so much since his freshman year then going into the spring and summer. He’s a leader as a sophomore and for him to go down with that type of injury, it hurt him, but he has a good attitude, and he was up in the press box watching the game with our coaches.”

Klein Forest wide receiver Jelani Watkins lined up at running back and scored on a 9-yard run as the Eagles went up 10-0 with 6:15 left in the second quarter.

With that 10-point lead, Klein Forest kicked the ball out of bounds to start the second half. and Humble took advantage.

The Wildcats moved down the field, targeting Texas Tech commit Tyrone West. The senior wideout had catches of 18, 8 and 36 yards to get the Wildcats in the red zone for the first time.

Klein Forest’s defense held Humble on third-and-goal and Humble settled for a 25-yard field goal by Ernesto Avila to get within 10-3 with 8:01 left in the third quarter.

Then on Klein Forest’s first offensive snap of the second half, quarterback Jaylen Bragg was intercepted by Humble’s Kris White.

Barajas threw a 6-yard TD pass to Marques Miller to tie the score at 10-10 with 5:44 left in the third.

“We came out here and played hard in the first half and we knew we were still in the game at halftime,” Schulz said. “At halftime, we made a few adjustments. We wanted to get to our quicker passing game and get it to our receivers quickly. We just came up short tonight, but I told the kids do not hang their heads down because that’s a great team over there and we’re going to see a lot better teams in District 21-6A.”

Klein Forest got its first turnover of the game in the fourth quarter on Kaleb Porchia's interception. Jenkins then put Klein Forest up 17-10 after a 4-yard TD run with 6:07 remaining.

Klein Forest hurt itself on the ensuing drive with a roughing-the-passer and facemask penalties.

Humble capitalized on the Eagles’ mistakes amd Barajas hit Miller for a 32-yard TD pass to tie the score at 17 with 3:55 left.

But that deadlock lasted just seconds before Jenkins' decisive kickoff return.

    • Like I said, even if it’s only 10% of the 100 kids BHISD takes from GCCISD each year, that’s 10 athletes per year and that’s being generous.  You’re right about the jobs with BHISD, BTW.  There’s more than 1 athlete from Baytown originally who got transferred to BHISD after a job opened up for Mama.

    • It’s behind a paywall but here’s Baytown Sun’s story on it.  It was reported on in other papers statewide so if you search by the date I think you’ll find other stories on it. UIL strengthens student transfer rules By Ron McDowell [email protected] Oct 18, 2024   In order to maintain a level playing field for all member schools, the University Interscholastic League strengthened rules regarding transfer student eligibility at its most recent meeting in Austin. Every year thousands of students transfer schools in the state of Texas. A student’s ability to participate in UIL sanctioned activities may be limited base on the reasons for the transfer. A change in family status, work transfers, enrollment in an academic magnet program, or a move across town, receive scrutiny, but only rarely does one of these reasons result in the loss of eligibility. The only reason to automatically cause the loss of participation eligibility is a transfer for athletic purposes. The current rule, which has been in place since 1981, does not require a Previous Athletic Participation Form (PAPFs) to be submitted if the student-athlete does not participate in a varsity level sport during the first year of enrollment. There has been growing concern among some member schools, that other members are breaking the current rule and creating “super teams” with new transfer enrollees, and that the UIL is not doing enough to police, what appear to be, the inordinate number of transfers among high school athletes. To mitigate these concerns, the UIL approved a proposal to expand the power of the State Executive Committee (SEC) and allow it to investigate schools based upon the number of PAPFs submitted. Schools that submit an inordinate number of PAPFs would face heightened scrutiny and possible public reprimand and future sanctions. The UIL has also changed the requirements for PAPF submission, mandating that the form be submitted before a grade 9-12 transfer student may participate at any level of school athletics. This is a marked departure from the current policy which encourages schools not to complete PAPFs for students who transfer in, if the school believes that the student will not play a varsity sport in the first year the student is enrolled at the new school. Some critics of the current system think that the change doesn’t go far enough. Speaking on background, one local school district source suggested that there should be an automatic year wait for transfer students due to the number of loopholes in the waiver process. “If a student transfers, it should be a year out of competition automatically,” the source said. In addition, the UIL also approved a proposal that gives the SEC the power to appoint an independent administrator to oversee the conduct of the local District Executive Committee (DEC) if it is determined that the DEC is not consistently enforcing the rules of the governing body. The change is significant since all appeals that a school brings, starts and usually ends with the DEC. That includes the determination of transfer student eligibility. It is believed that with the implementation of this change, schools in a UIL district will be less likely to face retribution from the DEC chair and other members.

    • I was hoping WOS was going to win. To get another chance to redeem ourself. Silsbee did not look good in that game and has not played consistent during the season. Hopefully against La Vega they will play 4quarters of football
