5-STARS: The Private School Playmakers powered by Texas Citizens Bank

Joshua Koch
Sep 28, 2020

There are so many great athletes in the private school realm in Houston.

VYPE highlights five athletes or teams from across the private school ranks in this edition of Private School Playmakers Powered by Texas Citizens Bank.


Maddox Kopp - St. Thomas 

Many more to come ☄️ @camdamone @STHFootball pic.twitter.com/xfS2MHGhGz

— Maddox Kopp (@maddox_kopp) September 27, 2020

St. Thomas opened the 2020 season with a 48-37 loss to El Campo on Friday but Maddox Kopp put on a show. Kopp, a University of Houston-commit, finished 24 of 28 for 456 yards and five touchdowns. He completed 85 percent of his passes. That is a ridiculous stat line.

Undra Ferrow - St. Pius X 

What a debut at running back for Undra Ferrow for the St. Pius X Panthers last week. In a dominating win over Lutheran High North, Ferrow rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. That's a nice debut and in the highlights above he can run some people over. What a performance!

Brady Dever - Fort Bend Christian Academy 

Just the Beginning‼️ @BraylonGardoni @jordanblack78 @MikeWestHTX @professorsmith2 @SeanUnfiltered @QBHitList pic.twitter.com/50PlTkkMKW

— Brady Dever (@BradyDever1) September 27, 2020

Welcome to Fort Bend Christian Academy! The new Eagle quarterbacked the team to a 28-23 victory over Concordia Lutheran. Dever finished 8 of 14 for 123 yards in the victory. That is a solid start for him under center for FBCA.

Louis Gustafson - Kinkaid

Kinkaid defeated Little Cypress-Mauriceville 42-26 last week and Louis Gustafson had a stellar game. Gustafson finished 16 of 23 for 255 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. That is a solid start for Gustafson to the 2020 season.

Luke Harrison - Lutheran South

Luke Harrison had an impressive season debut. In a 34-14 victory over Katy St. John XXIII, Harrison finished 14 of 21 for 210 yards and three touchdowns passing with one interception. He also rushed for 104 yards and two scores on 17 carries. Tally it all up and he finished with 314 yards of total offense and five touchdowns. That's super impressive.

On the greens at South Shore Harbour Country Club, few golfers in Texas command attention like Yixin “Emily” Zhang. Equipped with an exemplary aptitude for the sport, the Houston Christian junior has quickly proven herself among the state’s elite, combining skill and coherence in a way that makes her a standout well beyond Houston.

At the end of March, Zhang captured the title at the Southern Texas PGA Golf Performance Group Houston Junior Classic, shooting just one over par. Yet her success is no surprise. Months earlier, she had finished first at the STPGA Prestige Tour H-Town Showdown in August, following a third-place finish at the SPC Tournament last spring. Each victory reflects a steady culmination of talent, preparation, and mindset.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD: Brianna Taylor ushers in a new era at Houston Christian

Brianna “Bre” Taylor didn’t always envision herself pacing the sideline or leading a classroom. Now, she’ll soon be doing both at Houston Christian, where her presence signals both continuity and a fresh sense of direction.

A Houston native and former guard for the Texas Longhorns, Taylor arrives after a two-year stint as head coach at Lake Creek. She will finish out the current academic year there before transitioning to Houston Christian full-time, taking on a dual role as head coach and English teacher—an intersection she believes is central to building something lasting.

BEING ELITE: The Blueprint Behind Houston Christian’s Latest Title Run

Some of the stars of 2025-26 Houston Christian HS Basketball

On the surface, Houston Christian’s 35–1 season—culminating in its fifth SPC title—looked more dominant than ever. A 66–42 victory over Episcopal in the SPC 4A Final brought head coach Ron Crandall closer to 600 career wins, highlighting the sustained excellence he and his program have built over nearly two decades.

Yet the record and the trophy tell only part of the story. The deeper significance of this championship lies in the culture Crandall and his players cultivated from the very beginning.
