Alex Spence Myers Goes Supernova in Bridgeland Win
Alex Spence Myers was instrumental in extending Bridgeland's winning streak to five on Thursday. Nobody could stop Spence Myers as he rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.

With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
