SPC-4A Boys Soccer Championship Preview: Episcopal vs. Greenhill
Following an interesting series of events over the past few days, we return to the SPC-4A Soccer Championship.
The two-time defending champions, Episcopal, have advanced to the final after dominant victories over Houston Christian (7-0) and Kinkaid (2-0).
These consecutive clean sheets throughout the postseason highlight the strict dedication instilled by head coach Travis Smith as he and the Knights seek their seventh championship in the past decade.
Veteran leadership will be key at this stage, and few players are more capable than the 2024 All-SPC selections Geronimo Barroso (Sr. CM), Lorenzo Juarez (Sr. CB), and Sebastian Guerra (So. MF).
That said, this run has been a team effort. Don’t overlook the contributions of Eduardo Mora Garza (Jr. LW), Jack Jacobs (Sr. RW), Jacon Holzhauser (Jr. CB), Richard Agyeman-Yeboah (Jr. ST), Joshua Lynch (Jr. LB), and junior goalkeeper Jared Piñeda.
On the other side, Greenhill earned the No. 1 seed for their strong regular-season performance.
They cemented their status as title contenders with a 2-1 victory over St. Mark’s on Friday, punching their ticket to the championship game.
Under head coach Paul Field, the Hornets are chasing their first SPC plaque since the 2005-2006 season.
While Episcopal has the advantage in experience, anything can happen when these two teams face off at Castleberry High School on Saturday at 12:30 PM.
Episcopal now chases their second-straight SPC Title, which would mark their 3rd in 4 years
SPC-4A Boys Basketball Championship Preview: Episcopal vs. Greenhill
The SPC winter season has reached its peak, with only two teams remaining in pursuit of the coveted SPC-4A Title.
Representing the Houston area, Episcopal (22-9) returns to the championship stage, hoping to repeat last year’s success when they reclaimed the title against St. Mark’s.
Although the Knights lost key players to graduation—Justin Begg (George Mason) and Jakeel Registe (Blinn)—they’ve quickly reloaded with new talent. Aiden Fyfe, Alim Olajuwon, Brandon Thomas, and Christian Houston have all played pivotal roles under the leadership of coach Wayne Jones.
After securing a decisive 81-71 victory over St. John’s on Thursday and edging out top-seeded Houston Christian 58-55 in a nail-biting semifinal, Episcopal now sets its sights on back-to-back championships.
On the other side of the court, Greenhill doesn’t have to travel far, hailing from Addison, TX, just north of downtown Dallas.
The Hornets (27-4) dominated St. Stephen’s 70-45 in their opening matchup before narrowly defeating St. Mark’s 60-58 in the semifinals.
Coached by Joey Sims, Greenhill boasts a talented starting five led by the dynamic duo of Jaxson Thompson and Dillon Watt.
Thompson, averaging just under 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, is the team’s leading scorer, while Watt is not far behind, contributing 18.3 points and 3.9 assists per game.
The Hornets also benefit from strong contributions in the paint. Junior forward Kameron Smith (10 ppg, 8 rpg) and senior forward Bryson Watt (4 ppg, 6 rpg) provide muscle in the post, allowing players like Juan Barrientos (10 ppg, 2 apg) and Trey Davis (8 ppg, 5 rpg) to shine in critical moments.
If Greenhill were to dethrone Episcopal, it would result in the Hornets capturing their first-ever championship.
The SPC basketball season concludes today at 2:45 PM on Trinity Valley’s court, where Episcopal and Greenhill will face off in a championship matchup that's sure to deliver plenty of intrigue.
