Knightly News

The Knights put together another impressive winter sports run. Check out the highlights and join us in congratulating these student athletes.

Boys Basketball

In his first season as the Knights head coach, Ben Young led the team on an unbelievable run all the way to the state championship semi-final contest. On the way to that game, the 13th-ranked Knights went on the road twice in a week besting number four Calvary Baptist and number five St. Thomas Aquinas. 

Congratulations to TJ Callahan, Lance Clark and Parks McMains who were named to the 6-AA All-District First Team.

 Girls Basketball

The Knights advanced to the second round of the playoffs before falling to Parkview Baptist. It was another season to remember for the Knights with big wins versus Northlake Christian, Central Private and Ascension Christian. Fans will certainly not forget the exciting victory versus the top 10 ranked St. Mary’s Academy. The Knights pulled out the win in OT 46-45! Plus, no one will forget the 109-point game versus Istrouma High School in which sophomore Caroline Watson scored 45 points.

Congratulations to Elaine Bourgeois and Caroline Watson, who were named to the 6-AA All-District Team.

Girls Soccer

The Episcopal girls soccer season was one for the ages. The Knights had an incredible undefeated regular season and finished as the district champs and the Division IV state runner up. Coaches, players and fans won’t soon forget the magic of this remarkable season. In addition, standout Sarah Bonnecaze will continue her soccer career next year at TCU.

Congratulations to Sarah Bonnecaze (Overall MVP), Sydney Bonnecaze (Offensive MVP), Sadie Brien, Aubrey Ghere, Claire Moore, Kennedy Roth (Defensive MVP), and Maddie Teague who were named to the Division 4 - District 6 All-District First Team, including Coach Lynn Bradley, named Coach of the Year.
