Episcopal now chases their second-straight SPC Title, which would mark their 3rd in 4 years
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.
