Bishop Lynch High School

But this isn't the prior five years.

And Fort Worth Christian looks like world beaters following an obliteration of Bishop Lynch in week one.

Colton Waddell has proven to be an elite addition.

Cooper Griffin adjusts well to tight end, and there is an absolute stable at running back, with five guys having three or more carries last week, three securing touchdowns in the quarterback Waddell, Jamison, Mishaw, and Kratz.

But for this game, man, it's close.

Both teams are still question marks.

I know Fort Worth Christian just had the standout win over Bishop Lynch, which is impressive.

But losing Bo Pearson, how does that change the game, right? Dylan Belt, I know he's had some moments this year and the last year of like, being the MVP and we have them being like the true MVP of division three, but this is the game where he can go down on like DC legend as a DC legend.

Midland Christian and Liberty give us the game of the year.

St. Thomas shows us that they might be a title contender in Division I. Fort Worth Christian obliterates Division I Bishop Lynch as Colton Waddell and Carter Brooks show that they might be the best duo in the state.

And Brumskill Black and Bird lay waste to the No. 2 team in Division IV as the Eagles begin their flight towards Waco.

All this and more in the Week 1 recap of the Texas Private School Podcast.

Again, a fantastic contest down in Houston as we move on to one of our other games of the week.

Probably shouldn't have even been a game of the week.

Fort Worth Christian blanks Bishop Lynch, 42-0.

Crazy.

The first matchup of the season, we are split, and what a great one for it to be.

We'll see if we do the same in a northern matchup as we see Lynch take on Fort Worth Christian, where Fort Worth Christian is a five-and-a-half point favorite.

Continuing the theme of beautiful Week 1 matchups, we see Lynch travel 183 west to North Richland Hills to do battle with the Division II fourth-ranked Fort Worth Christian Cardinals.

I really don't think Fort Worth Christian as a program likes me very much.

They've been the subject of many of my bits.

Stevens could well be the best defensive back in the land and will have a great opportunity to prove that in this very matchup.

the unit that will be the X factor for the Cards in 2026, and will also lean on senior defensive lineman Jack Reese and senior linebacker Blaine McDonald to shore up the front seven.

That said, Lynch is in an interesting spot.

He wrestles, I think at the time it was, uh, Dallas, I'm trying to think.

Bishop Lynch was a good team out of Dallas at that time.

That's when, that's when Kenny Monday and Kendall-

That's right

... were all down there.

That's right.

Had had those guys going through Bishop Lynch.

And so he wrestles some kid from Bishop Lynch and actually loses.
