Parish Episcopal School

should have done it off the jump for sure.

So that being said, and I'm sure we'll post a separate announcement somewhere else, this Thursday, September the 10th, at Parish Episcopal, we will be having TXPS Live.

It's like college game day, but a lot better with smarter people on the panel.

Listen, we're incredibly excited.

All that to say, I've been one-third of your hosting crew.

Wes Hollis and Walker Lott and Ryan Schroeder have fantastically been themselves.

We will see you not in the next episode, but in the next TXPS live event at Parish Episcopal on Thursday at 5 o'clock.

Tune in.

in this episode of the texas private school podcast nidak and preston would travel to north richland hills to take on wattle and fort worth christian following a big loss against dallas christian warren and episcopal travel to parish episcopal to take on lucero mccamey and the panthers of parish jackson coleman and concordia lutheran travel to the woodlands who take on the fernandez brothers baron meachum george Romanek and the Woodlands Christian.

Regents and Kincaid face off in Houston in a massive battle.

A battle has taken place the two prior years to see if Regents can get over the hump at Kincaid.

I'm already down three picks for me, Wes Tolleson.

And sometimes you got to go bold.

And the last time Episcopal won this game was at Parish Episcopal with, you know, our guy Carson Gordon leading the way, getting the win.

I think it happens again on the blue turf.

The Blue Knights get it done on the blue field.

I think the synopsis is this.

I need – I would love to see in person what All Saints and Parish look like because I definitely think that this is not what the press team looked like last year, right? But do they have bright spots? Do they have Vance Fernandez, Brayden Bixler, Luke Leinberger, Ryan Neidecht on the other side? Yeah.

Of course, Brody Kernel at the linebacker spot and some other pieces in the trenches.

And, of course, Cannon Smith leading the way.

So I think Paris Prestonwood is going to be a good squad, but I need to know this.

Is this just playing against a Concordia team that is good in the one, but not great.

And that's kind of the level of Paris Prestonwood is at this year, or can they go compete with, with the Parish, the Liberties, and all of that, we'll see.

Definitely doesn't look like the Prestonwood of old, but they have star power still to compete in most games.

We will now move.

As you know, we're going to stay in Houston as we see two of the top dogs in the sport clash when Parrish travels to Kincaid where the Panthers are four and a half point favorites.

Two of the best teams in the state clash in a non-conference matchup on Friday, but in rare territory as both are coming off of losses.

Now that needs to be clarified just a bit.

Widenbaker, Zephyr York, Aiden Lockie, Crombie and Gooch setting the tone up front.

Kingston Thornton and Luke Johnson at defensive back, Harrison Phillips and Rocco Bingham at linebacker, Breckin Rogers at defensive end.

The Panthers are still scary regardless of the first week's performance.

but they're facing a scary opponent in the two-time defending SPC 4A champion, Kincaid Falcons.

from txps media that being said as promised we will now move in to our five games of the week which for the rare time three of us were on site covering three of these games so you get a first person point of view for three of the five games and actually five of the five games we all had people live and on site covering so you'll get first person recounts of all of those which is fantastic i have to start with the game that i was at which is parish at all saints The low-hanging fruit here is that the Saints go marching in.

As an established journalist, I consider myself above that, and I will say that the Saints smite the Panthers.

I came into this one thinking that it would be close, but the more I considered it, and especially when I got to the field, it really became apparent just how much talent All Saints had and how physically impressive these guys are live.

I think it was fitting that in the opening drive of this one, Jet Thomas absolutely pops the running back in the backfield.

Junior quarterback Braylon Davis would then show off some acrobatics to scramble his way to the first down, and sophomore running back Braden Bolts would punch it in from the one to open up the scoring in West Fort Worth.

following a drive led by quarterback Logan Lucero for Parrish, also showing elite ability through the air with his leg.

The Panthers would be held up on the four-yard line for the first, but not the last time that evening as senior kicker Preston Gall booted the 21-yarder through to make it 7-2-3, still in favor of All Saints.

but the Saints would respond by handing it to Braden Bolts, and I want you to go back and watch the video we posted of this score.

We don't make the spreads.

For the third consecutive year, the two top teams in Texas private school football throw down as Taps Division I, number one, Parish Episcopal, travels to West Fort Worth to take on the reigning, two-time defending, 28-consecutive game, unblemished streak, Fort Worth All Saints.

The prior two matchups were cinema.

39-35 All Saints in 2024 off of a Gavin Parkhurst masterclass and 24-21 last year due to the defensive efforts of Ryan Powers and the walk-off field goal courtesy of Carver Johnson.

It's not All Saints.

It's Parish Episcopal.

Oh, in Dallas.

Parish.

Parish Episcopal.

Yeah.

Logan Lucero's at Parish, and he and Flugens are the only two quarterback offers for Oklahoma in the 2029 class.
