Cameron Bonner helped lead St. Thomas to a 7-3 record this season and finished tied for the team lead in receiving yards with 754, according to the team's MaxPreps. Bonner entered the season as a bonified college prospect and on Monday, December 14, he announced his verbal commitment to Baylor University. That is a nice get for the Bears who have done some solid recruiting around the Houston area.

Jordan Williams - Second Baptist School

Jordan Williams has not surprisingly excelled at Second Baptist School on the hardwood this winter thus far. Williams, a transfer from Kinkaid, has been a spark to the men's basketball team. In a big 77-70 victory over St. Thomas over the weekend, Williams registered a triple-double. The junior finished with 36 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. He also had five steals as well. He is an all-around hoops star, who has been offered by Baylor and Mississippi State.

Christian Limon - Kinkaid 

I look forward to furthering my education and baseball career at Amherst College! I can’t thank my family, friends, teammates, and coaches for all of the love and support and for helping me along the way! #GoMammoths @JPPyne @KyleChapman2014 @Maas7805 @CoachDillon21 pic.twitter.com/T48qbHp3aQ

Fort Bend Christian Academy receiver David Kasemervisz is heading to California. This is a big year for FBCA football on the recruiting front as Kasemervisz becomes the second big-time Division I player to commit from FBCA. He joins offensive lineman Remington Strickland, who last week verbally committed to Texas A&M. Kasemervisz started his career at Fort Bend Clements HS before finishing it at FBCA. The senior receiver registered 459 yards and six touchdowns receiving this season for the Eagles.

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.

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.
