PRIVATE SCHOOL RANKINGS: No. 5 Episcopal Knights

Following a brief hiccup in 2023, when they finished 3-8, The Woodlands Christian Academy flipped the script in dramatic fashion just a year ago – concluding with an overall record of 8-4 and advancing to the TAPPS-5A Regional Round. Given the strong mix of talent the team has coming back, the Warriors appear primed to continue their upward trend in 2025.

The primary catalyst is senior QB Santiago Fernandez (Army-commit), a second-team, all-state selection who fueled the team’s resurgence. By season’s end, Fernandez had thrown for nearly 2,500 yards and 29 touchdowns, while adding 1,353 rushing yards and 13 scores on the ground – making him one of the most dynamic dual-threats in the state.
