KPRC Game of the Week: Rivals TWCA, FBCA clash in heated playoff race
TAPPS 5A Division rivals -- Fort Bend Christian Academy and The Woodlands Christian Academy -- are primed for their second meeting of the regular season this Tuesday on KRPC's Game of the Week.
The Woodlands Christian Academy leads the district, boasting a 20-8 record (including tournament play) with an undefeated record in the district (8-0). The Warriors are led by junior PG Tres Luzey, who’s averaging nearly 20 points per game; 6-foot-7 senior Wyatt Boeker, who has been racking up the rebounds; and sophomore guard Nick Brashear, who has been a game-changer from behind the three-point line.
