THE WARRIOR WAY: Another trip to the TAPPS State Final in the cards for No. 3 TWCA
3 -- THE WOODLANDS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY WARRIORS
TWCA returns with a vengeance, after a remarkable season under the direction of first-year head coach Jason Tocabens, which saw them go 27-8 en route to an appearance in the TAPPS-5A title game.
Gold is always the standard for this squad, and after being narrowly defeated by Midland Christian a year ago, the Warriors will be emboldened for another crack at the league’s top prize.
This roster is filled to the brim with star-power, as all-state selections Howie Keene (Montana State-commit) and Nick Brashear (Colorado College) will be the top contributors on thescore board, while facilitating the flow of the game.
They’re complemented by the talents of Landon Harris (Sr. F), Beau Ellis (Sr. C) and Grand Oaks-transfer Trevion Ogburn (Sr. F), among others.
“The Warrior Way” is back in full force in 2025, which should keep audiences on their feet.

MARCHING IN: No. 5 St. Thomas Episcopal look to go back-to-back in TAPPS-4A
5 -- ST. THOMAS EPISCOPAL SAINTS
Sheer dominance is the only way to describe St. Thomas Episcopal’s run in 2023.
The Saints capped off their 27-win season with TAPPS-4A glory, via a 56-49 overtime thriller against Grace Prep this past March.
Now, coach Chris Twine’s crew is on a mission to secure a repeat.
However, following the graduation of Nathan Law (Texas-Rio Grand Valley) and the transfer of younger brother Aiden (Shadow Creek), the torch is now passed down to second-team, all-district honoree Andrew Sellers (Jr. G), Nathan Nguyen (Sr. PG), Micah Sesay (Jr. F) and Chase Baker (Jr. G) to defend their title.
All things considered, renewed chemistry will be instrumental in pursuit of their ultimate goal.
