IT WAS A BANNER YEAR INTHE POOL FOR THE LEGACY PREPARATORY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY.
The girls brought home their first-ever team State Title, scoring an amazing 300 points in February at the TAPPS State Swimming Meet.
“The girls were just overjoyed because they had worked so hard,” LPCA swim Coach Billy Gerwick said. “They relished the moment.
It was awesome.
”On the boys’ side, the team finished fourth overall with a score of 170.5 with just five swimmers competing.
“All of the boys really stepped up,” Gerwick said.
Senior Gavin Gerwick, who is Billy’s son, led the charge for the boys as heswam to a pair of individualtitles. Gavin took gold in the200-yard individual medley(1:57.13) and the 100-yard breaststroke (59.56). The State Championships come after a run of second-place finishes in his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons.
“This was his year,” Gerwick said. “He’s worked so hard for four years andhe rose to the occasion. He’snever gotten to stand at the top of the podium, and he was just hoping to do it in one event. He couldn’t be more excited; it was just awesome to see him finish first this time.”
As Gerwick looks towards to next season, he will have to replace the talents of his son Gavin, Luke Henson, Layla Faysal and Paityn Smith but has a solid core returning for the 2023 season.
“I’ve got high expectations for the next few years,”Gerwick said.

Stephenville football posted an incredibly successful season resulting in the program's sixth state title last season. This season- they're on a mission to do a lot of the same. As they prepare for summer workouts and the fall ahead, VYPE DFW takes a dive into what fans can expect from the Yellow Jackets this fall.

A Look Back
Last season the Stephenville Yellow Jackets posted a perfect, undefeated season. The team went 16-0 (5-0 in district play) and topped it off with their first state title in nearly a decade. After working their way through their schedule with smart defense and explosive offense, the Yellow Jackets knew just what they had to do to finish strong and they did it in a 38-21 state championship victory over Austin LBJ.
Looking Ahead
Stephenville had some big time playmakers graduate in the spring, but they still have notable returners who are sure to make a huge impact this fall. Tate Maruska, Julian Iribarren, and Ryder Lambert will all be returning for an explosive offensive presence. Lambert, Kyler Eudy, and Jack Barkley will be leading the defense to victory as well.
What To Expect
The Yellow Jackets have enough depth and experience to keep the team focused not only through the off season, but the preseason and district play as well. Running into this year on a 16 game win-streak with a state title still giving them motivation, fans can expect the Yellow Jackets to work and put in the effort for big time results. Expect to see Stephenville deep in playoffs yet again!
