Whataburger Team of the Week: Kinkaid GBB Repeats as SPC 4A Champion
Dynasty talk is no longer premature at The Kinkaid School — it’s earned. A 30-5 campaign culminated in a 65-57 win over Houston Christian on Valentine’s Day, sealing consecutive SPC-4A titles and adding another defining chapter to the program’s legacy. The triumph marked Kinkaid’s 12th overall championship and its fifth since 2017, further evidence that this is a standard sustained over time, not a spike in success.
The engine behind the repeat was a poised and prolific junior class. Ma’Ryiah Alfred, Lauren Hull, Sydney Marshall, Kamdyn Flora, Alexandra Gordon and Victoria Walden anchored the effort with versatility and late-game composure, consistently delivering when postseason margins tightened. Their cohesion transformed lofty expectations into tangible results.
Guided by head coach Stacey Marshall, the Lady Falcons have blended experience with urgency — a balance that has defined this era. And with that core expected back next winter, continuity becomes the program’s greatest asset.

PRIVATE SCHOOL RANKINGS: No. 3 The Kinkaid School Falcons
The target is on their back – and The Kinkaid School wouldn’t have it any other way. After steamrolling through a 10-1 season and capturing the SPC-4A Championship with a 49-10 win over Episcopal, the Falcons are back this fall with the usual expectations and a reloaded roster.
Their only stumble came in an early exhibition loss to eventual UIL 3A-DII state champion Gunter. From there, coach Nathan Larned and co. never faced defeat again and quickly proved themselves as one of the top private school programs in Texas.
While the departure of All-SPC quarterback David Capobianco leaves a void under center, junior running back Wayne Shanks Jr. is more than capable of leading the offense. The explosive, do-it-all back posted nearly 1,900 total yards from scrimmage with 27 touchdowns in 2024, drawing scholarship offers from Ohio State, Florida, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and others. His presence alone keeps Kinkaid's attack dangerous.

In the passing game, senior receivers Alexander Donnelly and Peter Liuzzi bring experience, dependable hands, and the ability to stretch defenses – giving the Falcons balance and options no matter who takes over at quarterback.
Moving over to defense, Kinkaid returns senior safety Caleb Pitts, edge rusher Odell Winn III, and junior linebacker Thomas Smith, a trio expected to set the tone physically.
