ARMORING UP: What will No. 4 Episcopal do for an encore?

4 — EPISCOPAL KNIGHTS

Episcopal finally did it.

After waiting 36 years, the Knights accomplished their mission and got to raise another SPC Girls Basketball Championship banner on the walls of their home court. EHS avenged a double-digit regular-season loss to Kinkaid in the 2024 SPC-4A Championship game to win the crown – their first title since 1988.

Now, can Episcopal defend it?

Gone is McDonald’s All-American Me’Arah O’Neal (Florida), the daughter of Shaquille O’Neal. So, who steps up?

All-SPC selection Rylee Poindexter (So. G) returns after earning that designation in her freshman season. Other names to watch include Ivonna Lloyd, Bella Woodcox, Berklee Lyons, Ella Voss, Claire Murray, Chloe Hollis and Kennedy Greene.

Coach Chelsea Bass will have a big senior class to lean on in 2024-25 as the Knights look to go back-to- back.
