VYPE U: Episcopal Volleyball's Difficult Start

Tinley Kane
Oct 30, 2020

Episcopal places second at Houston Open

@ehssports Twitter

It's a season of firsts for Episcopal's varsity volleyball team. The team is mostly comprised of seniors, ten to be exact. Four of those seniors are verbally committed to play at the collegiate level at Division I schools such as Mississippi State (Sania Petties), Cal State Fullerton (Hailey Black), and once Texas A&M now Howard University (Bria and Cimone Woodard). Not to mention one junior, Morgan Perkins, who is also verbally committed to Oklahoma University.


Of its six starters on the court, fans witness collegiate-level volleyball from these Knights. With such top-tier talent, the team's record at one point was a disappointing 0-5.

That's correct. The reigning SPC champions managed to start the season with five losses.

"It was bound to catch up to us," stated Cimone Woodard. "It's probably been the weakest start we've had since I've been here," said Lara Verstovsek.

With Covid-19 affecting practice time and scrimmages throughout the summer, it's made the 2020 season a difficult one. Scheduling has been quite the challenge too as the team has faced some top 5A & 6A schools with their own future collegians.

The team kicked off its season against 5A College Station and were swept 3-0. The team later took a tough loss to Fulshear 3-1. Competing with the greater Houston area's 6A competition for dual matches at Don Coleman Coliseum, the girls lost 3-2 to Memorial and 3-1 to George Ranch.

The unfortunate streak ended with a 3-2 loss to Concordia Lutheran before the girls picked up two wins against Fort Bend Christian Homeschool Athletics and Duchesne. The Episcopal team is looking to make the second half of the season more memorable than the first.

Versatile Harold Perkins of Cy Park can play anywhere on the field

The Super 60 is complete.

These are the best of the best in Houston. The Can't-Miss kids who every college in the nation is coveting. It's all about positioning, however, as VYPE's Matt Malatesta puts his Top 10 in order.

The Class of 2022 is a special one, who we'll be watching on Saturdays to come. Maybe even beyond.

Carpenter tabbed to lead Klein Oak Football

Joshua Koch
13 Apr, 2021

HOUSTON - Brandon Carpenter is ready to continue developing the KOlture at Klein Oak High School.

The Klein Oak football offensive coordinator was announced on Tuesday as the next head football coach for the Panthers, replacing Jason Glenn, who moved into administration earlier this spring.

"It's an immeasurable sense of gratitude," Carpenter told VYPE via Twitter. "Oak is a special place, I'm surrounded by incredible student-athletes and very special people. I'm blessed to have come in with Coach Glenn in 2017 & help establish our KOlture, it's incumbent upon me to continue developing that vision for our young people."

I'm proud to announce that the new Head Football Coach, and Campus Athletic Coordinator @KLEINOAKFB @KleinOak, Brandon Carpenter! “Carp" has served as the Off. Coord. for the program the past 4 years. He's a great man, father, husband, and educator! @vypehouston @Matt_Stepp817 pic.twitter.com/DmBmVvePdC
— Thomas Hensley (@thomashensley) April 13, 2021

For the past four seasons, Carpenter has served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Glenn, who took over the program in 2017.

In that span, Klein Oak went 31-15 overall and made the playoffs every single season. The Panthers registered 10 wins in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns, averaging 31.2 points per game in 2018.

But it's not all about the stats and wins for Glenn when you first mention Carpenter.

"He's a great man first and foremost!," Glenn, the new Klein ISD Director of Student Outreach, said. "And that's what the program has been about since we came together to run Oak! He will continue to put the kids first and will win a lot of games!

"He will teach them that football is great but what type of man/lady will you be without sports! He's my brother, my friend and I'm so happy for him, the school and our community! I love my guy! [Klein Oak Principal] Thomas Hensley made a great hire!"

LETS GOOOOOOOO! So happy and proud of my brotha @Coach_BCarp ! He is the NEW Head Coach /AD for @KLEINOAKFB ! @thomashensley great hire! You guys will be AMAZING at making @KleinOak even more special! Gods plan never fails! @blackstacy94 you can fix that walk now! 😂 #OVERJOYED pic.twitter.com/UOB4D60Oqr
