HOUSTON - Make room on the wall inside the Second Baptist School fieldhouse for four more plaques.
On Wednesday, the Eagles athletic department celebrated four more student-athletes signing to the next level. It included three football players off the first state runner-up team since 1999 and one baseball player.
Starting with football, seniors Eli Smith (RB), Everett Skillern (RB/LB) and Colin Hedges (DL) all signed their National Letters of Intent.
Smith, who finished with more than 1,200 yards rushing this season, signed with Villanova, while Skillern, who was the Touchdown Club of Houston Defensive Player of the Year, signed with Brown University and Hedges inked his letter to Lamar University.
On the baseball diamond, Leighton Reddy signed with the University of Texas-Tyler.
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.
