Episcopal Volleyball
Episcopal once again enters as a contender in the Southwest Preparatory Conference. But this is not the team from a year ago.
Amanda Watts returns just two starters from a team that went 8-6 overall. The SPC did not have a playoff in 2020 due to COVID-19.
As they enter 2021, the Knights look to make the postseason for a 10th-straight season led by Oklahoma-commit Morgan Perkins. In 14 matches last year, which included matches against College Station, Fulshear and Memorial, Perkins played in 44 sets and registered 60 kills (1.36 kills/set), hit .368 and had 30 blocks.
Other key returners include juniors Ava Harrington (OH/MB) and Farah Farooq (MB). Also watch out for sophomore Allyson Frailey (OH) and junior Emma Poirot (RS).
This team "will be young" according to Watts but their returners "will help lead us". The motto for Episcopal in 2021 is "Kia Kaha", which translates to Forever Strong.
With the Winter season beginning, the second series of our campus-coordinated media days has officially commenced.
Recently, our team traveled to Fort Bend Christian Academy for their exclusive Winter Media Day.
We spoke with FBCA Girls Basketball Coach Temeckia Hunter, detailing how she and the Eagles look to get back in the district conversation in 2025.

The stars of 2024-25 Second Baptist Girls Basketball
2 — SECOND BAPTIST EAGLES
The Eagles rolled all the way to the TAPPS-5A title game in 2024 – marking the eighth appearance in program history – where they ultimately finished as the State Runner-Up with a final record of 29-10.
In H-Town private school girls hoops, SBS is the gold standard, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. John “CH” Herndon enters year seven leading this program (153-51) and returns one starter to the squad.
Herndon will lean on the leadership of first-team, all-state selection Grace Wehring (14 ppg, 4 rpg, 3.4 spg, 2.7 apg), as well as Eloise Tackett (So. G) and Casey Krueger, to keep the tradition alive.
The Eagles will eye a seventh-straight trip to the postseason in 2025, while placing an emphasis on building the younger players up in the process.
