VYPE 2020 Preview: Private School No. 2 Episcopal Knights
Welcome to the 2020 football season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. There was not a summer camp circuit for player to go showcase their talents at. In-person recruiting came to a screeching halt and the COVID-19 Pandemic has affected everyone.
But VYPE has still done what we have always done when it comes to previewing Texas high school football here in Houston. With that said here is Private School No. 2 Episcopal Knights!

Coach Steve Leisz has one of the most dominate offensive lines in the state — at any level. Donovan Jackson (6-foot-5, 300-pounds) is a five-star recruit committed to Ohio State. He is complemented by Cullen Montgomery (Oklahoma-commit) and Luis Chavarria (6-foot-4, 315-pounds). Who benefits from this embarrassment of riches? All-State RB Jaquon Marion went off for over 1,300 yards and 18 scores.
QB Chase Jenkins will likely be the signal-caller. But can the Knights stop anyone on defense? Parker Forque and Beau Edwards are the bigs up front, while Miles Jones is a talented DB. The Knights are the favorites but it can be different being the hunter instead of the hunted. They will play an independent schedule this fall after SPC canceled its fall championships.
VYPE U: Soggy Homecoming win for Episcopal
Friday's homecoming game was a big one for the Episcopal Knights.
Through a 45-minute rain delay and muggy field conditions, the Knights managed to wipe out the St. John's Mavericks 52-7.
Having home field advantage, the student section showed out in their pink and western theme attire to support their squad. Right from the start, Drake Bhatia nailed a 22-yard field goal to get points on the board for the Knights.
Adrian Cormier got his first of three touchdowns in the first quarter of 75 yards to extend the lead. By halftime, the Knights were up 31-6 from touchdowns by Nick Mayberry and Cormier. The Knights piled up more points in the second half by scores from Quon Marion, Mayberry and Charles Gauntly.
Episcopal's defense was not in the giving mood, holding St. Johns to negative 13 yards rushing.The Knights accumulated 443 total yards -- 86 passing yards and 357 rushing yards, making the Knights 4-1 and 2-0 in SPC play.
Next week, the Knights take conference opponents St. Mark's in Dallas.
