THE WRAP: Recapping the 2025-26 SPC Winter Championships; Episcopal, Kinkaid, HCHS flex
4A GIRLS BASKETBALL -- The Kinkaid School REPEATS
Matt Powell (VYPE)
The Lady Falcons have entered dynasty territory. Head coach Stacey Marshall and company capped the winter campaign with a 65-57 victory over Houston Christian on Valentine’s Day, securing back-to-back SPC 4A championships. The triumph not only completed the repeat for, but also delivered the program’s 12th title overall — and its fifth since 2017 — underscoring a sustained run of excellence rather than a fleeting moment at the top.
It’s no secret where the firepower originated for The Kinkaid School during its 30-5 campaign. Anchored by a standout junior class, Ma’Ryiah Alfred, Lauren Hull, Sydney Marshall, Kamdyn Flora, Alexandra Gordon and Victoria Walden proved instrumental in the Falcons’ push to run it back. With each expected back next season, the foundation is firmly in place for a potential three-peat — a prospect that feels far more realistic than speculative.
4A BOYS BASKETBALL -- Houston Christian cruises to the title
Isaiah Vela (VYPE)
The Mustangs embodied their “#BeELITE” mantra — and then some — in 2026, authoring a 35-1 campaign that culminated in a decisive 66-42 win against rival Episcopal in the SPC 4A Championship on Saturday. With the win, Houston Christian claimed its fifth title under head coach Ron Crandall and captured its first ring since the 2022-23 season. The dominant run also vaulted the Mustangs into the Top 5 statewide, according to MaxPreps, further cementing their place among Texas’ elite.
While the All-SPC selections have yet to be announced, much of Houston Christian’s winter success can be traced to a core group that set the tone on both ends of the floor. Tournament MVP Landon Veal (Jr., F) spearheaded the charge, supported by fellow juniors Will Arriaga (F) and Jojo McGowen (G), along with senior guard Demetri Lewis. Together, they anchored a unified, athletic front that consistently dictated tempo and delivered in pivotal moments.
4A GIRLS SOCCER -- Episcopal goes BACK-2-BACK
Alex Hinson (VYPE)
Guided by head coach Rachel Stelter, Episcopal — ranked No. 4 in Texas by MaxPreps — posted a 13-4-1 campaign that peaked at the right moment. The winter concluded with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over defending champion St. Stephen’s Episcopal in the SPC 4A title match.
After falling to St. Stephen’s in last year’s postseason, the Knights exacted a measure of poetic justice while claiming their first championship since 2024 and their second in as many seasons. The narrow score reflected the intensity of the matchup, but Episcopal’s composure under pressure ultimately defined the outcome.

Alex Hinson (VYPE)
The Episcopal Knights completed a perfect 11-0 season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St. Stephen’s Episcopal on Saturday, clinching the SPC 4A championship. The low-scoring contest highlighted the Knights’ defensive discipline and composure, allowing them to preserve their unbeaten record.
Under head coach Travis Smith, Episcopal secured its fourth consecutive title and ninth overall, continuing a run of steady success. With fundamentals and team chemistry firing at full strength, the Knights reinforced their standing as one of Texas’ top programs, showing that their achievements are built on consistent performance rather than expectation.

The 4A meet saw St. Stephen’s Episcopal claim the girls’ crown with 116 points, finishing eight ahead of runner-up Duchesne. Reena Desireddi, Ashna Ross, and Campbell Walker were key in maintaining the Spartans’ edge. Meanwhile, the St. Mark’s Lions dominated the boys’ competition, compiling 162 points to secure the championship, with standout performances from Armaan Newaskar, Ethan Wang, Ilan Gunawardena, and Oliver Geheb.

FWCD finished with a commanding score of 178 points—20 clear of runner-up John Cooper—securing a long-awaited championship for the program.
