TAPPS THREE-PEAT WITHIN REACH FOR POWERHOUSE PANTHERS

arish Episcopal proved it could win a state championship in the highest classification in TAPPS. Then the Panthers proved they could do it again, with the pressure of being the defending Texas Association of Private and Parochial School champs.

Now they’ll have to prove they can remain on top without Preston Stone, the All-American quarterback who has departed for SMU. But with a foundation in place for sustained success and plenty of returnees on both sides of scrimmage, Parish head coach Daniel Novakov remains optimistic.

“I’d like to think we’d be just as good if not better,” Novakov said. “A three-peat is darn-near impossible at any level. That’s the motivation we have. These kids have an opportunity to try and make history.”

Besides a third straight crown, the Panthers will aim for an elusive undefeated campaign. Two years ago, they fell to Fort Worth All Saints in the regular-season finale only to avenge the defeat in the playoffs.

In 2020, Parish lost to Fort Worth Nolan in the regular-season finale, then knocked off the Vikings four weeks later in the championship game.

“Both times we’ve lost, it’s been for the better because it forces us to evaluate and change some things that needed to be changed,” Novakov said. “That’s the great thing about high school football. People grow, and they step up and make adjustments. That’s the neat part about watching the transformation. You put the puzzle together and hope it makes a state championship team.”

For the first time since 2016, Parish will have a new starting quarterback. In four seasons, Stone became one of the top passers in Texas high school history, with more than 13,000 yards and 145 touchdowns.

“Preston would be the first to tell you that it wasn’t all him,” Novakov said. “In the last three playoff games, we were more of a running team than a passing team anyway. I think that got a little bit glossed over. We’ve got a bunch of good players.”

The returning talent includes all-state running back Andrew Paul (747 yards, 10 touchdowns), two-way standout Blake Youngblood (853 receiving yards, 10 touchdowns), hard-hitting linebacker Keegon Addison (165 tackles), and dynamic junior utility player Daniel Demery.

The offense will be led by either Sachse transfer VictorJesus Gutierrez or Sawyer Anderson, a promising freshman in the same dual-threat mode as Stone who hails

from the Park Cities.

“We have a system, but the offense morphs into the talents that we have,” Novakov said. “Our goal is to get our athletes the ball in space and let them do what they do. It changes your identity a little bit every year.”

Other players to watch for the Panthers include receivers Nathaniel Hill (verbally committed to Navy), Noah Billings (a Prosper transfer who also will play safety), and Chase Burton. Utility player Cedric Mays also should contribute to the high-powered attack.

On defense, Parish’s contributors will include returnees Tre Williams at defensive end and Cooper Mailand at linebacker, along with transfers Walker Anderson (Highland Park), Dylan Davis (Greenhill), and Seth Scott (Duncanville).

The goal is to be celebrating again in December, something the Panthers had to curtail after last year’s championship game because of a mandated 14-day quarantine immediately afterward.

“Once we drove back on the bus, we didn’t see each other for two weeks. It was a fun year with memories that will last a lifetime, but there were a lot of things we missed out on,” Novakov said.

“The fun part about football — the camaraderie and all that — was taken away.

Hopefully, we can get back to that.”

After last season, W.T. White High School hung a banner in its weight room, commemorating the Longhorns’ first playoff berth since 2007 and first winning season since 2000.

But there’s more wall space that can be filled this year, with 15 returning starters looking to secure back-to-back postseason berths for the first time in three decades.

“You have to have that mindset that we’re a playoff team. We’re one of the hunted now, so we need to act like that and work like that,” said WTW head coach Tony Johnson. “We had a great spring. You could see the attitude, the chests kind of sticking out a little bit.”

The Longhorns thrived last year despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic that have carried over, leading to concerns about depth entering 2021.

“We’ve been doing a lot of catch-up as

a coaching staff, trying to find all of our kids,” Johnson said. “We have to get more kids back out. I feel like we’ll be recruiting in the hallways after school starts.”

You have to have that mindset that we’re a playoff team.

Tony Johnson Still, WTW will have a host of athletic playmakers on both sides of scrimmage, led by southpaw quarterback Jason Salinas, who tossed 11 touchdown passes a year ago. He will be joined by returning running backs Elijah Ellis and Cartier Beverley, along with utility players Johnathon Ware, Jaydyn Sisk, Daviawn Bishop, and Justin Joof.

Tyler Norris is the lone returnee on the offensive line. Joof and Marcus Wise will patrol the secondary, while Tommie Gutierrez is a three-year starter at linebacker.

‘I Missed Football’

At Duke, lacrosse star Montgomery trying to recapture gridiron glory At a small private school like ESD, multi-sport athletes are commonplace. At an NCAA Division I university like Duke?

They’re rare.

Then again, Nakeie Montgomery is the type of two-way talent who might be able to pull it off.

Montgomery secured a roster spot in football this fall after spending the past four years as

W.T. White coach Tony Johnson and his oldest son, Anthony, co-authored a book during quarantine.

Nakeie Montgomery

a standout midfielder in lacrosse for the Blue Devils.

He hopes to see action as a running back, the same position where he tallied a school-record 31 touchdowns with the Eagles before graduating in 2017. Several college football programs recruited him, but ultimately he stuck with his commitment to play lacrosse instead.

“I knew I wanted to do it the whole time,” Montgomery told USA Lacrosse Magazine. “I missed football.”

Montgomery has spent the past four seasons as a midfielder for the powerhouse Duke lacrosse team, becoming an All-American and a key contributor on three Final Four teams.

Following a loss to Maryland in the NCAA tournament semifinals in May, Montgomery joined the football team for offseason workouts. The team’s season opener will be

Like many of us, Tony Johnson took advantage of some downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic to reflect.

The W.T. White football coach dug out 20 pages of old journal entries he wrote after his father’s death in 2019 and showed them to his son, Anthony, an assistant coach at Arlington Martin.

That sparked a discussion about their shared career that became the basis for their self-published book, Faith on the Field: The Pastoral Ministry of a Football Coach.

“We would sit on the back patio and have lots of conversations. We had those moments where we could be candid and open up about our values,” Johnson said. “It was interesting to hear his perspective. As a young coach, I saw a lot of similarities. It was a neat, therapeutic thing.”

The wide-ranging book delves into the rural history of football and how organized sports became a vessel for teaching behavior as schools

Montgomery plans to return to the lacrosse field in the spring to play a fifth season for the Blue Devils, taking advantage of an extra year of

eligibility granted to athletes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. After that, he will likely have the option of turning professional — in one sport.

became more organized.

Johnson, a 30-year coaching veteran, said the book isn’t about preaching religious doctrine but about finding parallels between the role of a coach with that of a spiritual leader. It also includes extended interviews with coaches, ministers, and former players about how their faith ties into football.

“In any profession, you need good mentors and good leaders. In such an ego-driven sport, you have to have a strong foundation,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to make those connections.

To the common person, it’s kind of unique to get those perspectives.”

Anthony, 27, was a tight end and deep snapper at the University of North Texas, where he was a film major. He’s written two other books and some essays but said this project was especially meaningful.

“The sport is unique to our relationship. I grew up in that world, and it’s kind of all I’ve known,” Anthony said. “We were talking about life. I was realizing how much of a calling this profession is. We looked at it from a religious perspective and tied it all together.”

People Newspapers

Two years ago, Jesuit Dallas advanced to the fourth round of the UIL playoffs for the first time in history. Last year, its season ended with a first-round upset loss to Arlington.

“It’s motivated our kids to work harder this summer,” said Jesuit head coach Brandon Hickman. “Our team seems to be very hungry. The chemistry is pretty special.”

The Rangers are poised to bounce back behind the leadership of quarterback Gage Roy and two-way standout Robert Fitzgerald.

Roy threw for 2,714 yards and 28 touchdowns in 11 games as a junior, and he has added 10 pounds of muscle over the summer. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald was named the defensive MVP in District 7-6A with 80 tackles, while adding seven rushing

touchdowns on offense.

“Robert is an unbelievable athlete,” Hickman said. “We’ve got to find a way to get him on the field and get him the ball as much as possible. We can’t afford for him to be standing on the sidelines much.”

Jesuit also returns leading receiver Hunter Krepp, who tallied 695 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He might line up in the defensive secondary, too, along with fellow receiver Ford Butler and others.

“In 6A football, you’ve got to have speed on the field,” Hickman said. “To have those guys on both sides of the ball, we think will allow us to better cover people.”

The Rangers have solid depth on the offensive line, anchored by mammoth tackle Matt Craycraft. They will be less experienced on defense with just three returning starters.

Our team seems to be very hungry.

The chemistry is pretty special.

Sido, Panthers Look to Continue Momentum

By Todd Jorgenson People Newspapers

FROM LEFT: Hillcrest’s Carter Sido and Shannon Cruse connected on four touchdown passes last season. (PHOTO: CHRIS MCGATHEY)

Thirteen starters return, but one significant departure still has 2021 feeling like the start of a new era at Hillcrest.

That’s due to the graduation of Nasir Reynolds, the workhorse running back who amassed more than 4,100 rushing yards and scored 53 touchdowns during the past three seasons — setting multiple school records in the process — before signing with Drake University.

The absence of the diminutive speedster leaves a void that Hillcrest’s returning playmakers must fill as they look to build off last year’s postseason appearance.

Dual-threat quarterback Carter Sido is back after throwing 14 touchdown passes in 11 games last season. So is Reggie Williams, a powerful running back who should play a more prominent role in 2021. Shannon Cruse, who

paced the Panthers in catches (20) and touchdown receptions (four), will again give Sido a reliable receiving target.

Hillcrest again will feature a handful of two-way players, as Williams and Cruse are among the top returnees on defense — Williams in the secondary and Cruse at linebacker. Brady Gibson and Jaden Hodge also should contribute at multiple spots.

Depth might be an issue on both sides of scrimmage, although the offensive line will be experienced, with Americo Fuentes, Selvin Maldonado, and Gil Garza leading the way.

Despite a 77-13 loss to eventual state champion Aledo in the bi-district round, last season continued a steady rebuild under fourth-year head coach Jacob Ramon. Boosted by two forfeit victories in district play, Hillcrest snapped a six-year playoff drought and has posted back-to-back winning seasons.

Flaherty Aims to Restore Roar at St. Mark’s

We want to focus on the process and let the results take care of themselves.

They haven’t had a winning season since 2017.

However, Flaherty is confident St. Mark’s can reverse that trajectory with an experienced roster that includes 17 returning starters.

“I feel good about the core nucleus of players we have in the upper grades,” Flaherty said. “The players have been working hard this summer. There’s also an added hunger because these seniors didn’t get to play an extensive junior season. Collectively we’re all excited to get back to normal.”

Alex Nadalini, who took some snaps last season, will return as the likely starting quarterback for the Lions. The weapons around him include Elijah Ellis, Conor Duffy, and Niles Harvey. Ellis also is a standout at linebacker.

“I want to try and be creative with our guys. But more important than the schemes that we run is going to be the way that we play,” Flaherty said. “We want to focus on the process and let the results take care of themselves.”

Even in a five-game makeshift season with no championship aspirations, the stakes were high for ESD in 2020.

With four victories, the Eagles gained valuable experience that could help the Episcopal School of Dallas contend with traditional Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) powerhouses from the Houston area.

The team’s continued growth hinges on the progress of junior quarterback Patrick Burke, the younger brother of former ESD standout Brodie Burke, who shined during the pandemic-shortened campaign.

“Having him start five games was huge, just to get some starts under his belt,” said ESD head coach Richard Williams. “His ball placement and accuracy is the best I’ve seen.

He’s gritty, and he’s also one of our fastest

guys on the team. He’s going to present some challenges for the defenses that we face.”

Burke has multiple big targets in ESD’s explosive offense. Teddy Sparrow has flourished since moving from wide receiver to tight end, and he has played with Burke for years. Blair Brennan and 6-foot-4 Jaden Robinson are sure-handed wideouts.

With 16 returning starters, ESD should be able to limit its use of two-way players. That should benefit the defense, led by versatile lineman Chase Kennedy, who also stars in basketball.

“He’s a threat with his size and his quickness. He creates a nightmare for opposing offensive tackles,” Williams said. “This defense is one of the best in the conference. We’re solid at just about every spot.”

Aside from Kennedy, the Eagles will rely on Justin McCray, Andrew Chairuangdej, and Eli Huggins to win battles at the line of scrimmage.

He’s going to present some challenges for the defenses that we face.

Youngsters Aim to Keep Knights on Track

By Todd Jorgenson People Newspapers

After starring as a running back last season, Mark Spangler could shift to quarterback for his junior year. (PHOTO: CHRIS MCGATHEY)

After losing 12 seniors to graduation, and with just two seniors on the current roster, Covenant could be excused for taking a step back in 2021.

However, head coach Jacob Zinn sees the momentum continuing for a program that made its third consecutive The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) playoff appearance last season — despite moving up to the 3A classification.

“We had a lot of guys during the last four years who have served our program well and put us in a good place to be successful going forward,” Zinn said. “We’ve got a lot of talented young guys coming up.

They can finally showcase their ability in the spotlight.”

The Knights will have a competition to fill the void at quarterback left by the graduation of four-year starter Ben Spangler. Among the candidates are Mark Spangler — the youngest of the three Spangler brothers — along

with Andrew Pattison and Brad Shahan, although it’s possible Covenant could rotate signal-callers, Zinn said.

They can finally showcase their ability in the spotlight.

Jacob Zinn “It’s going to be a different kind of look for us. We don’t have that one guy that we’re going to lean on,” he said. “We’ve got some good athletes that can do different types of things.”

As usual, the Knights will feature several two-way players, although they have depth at the skill positions and a developing offensive line.

Among Covenant’s other top players, James Predtechenskis was a starting linebacker last year as a freshman, and Bennett Sands will move from safety to cornerback.

A program in need of stability during its rebuilding effort got the opposite during Tony Banks’ debut season at Greenhill School, through no fault of the new head coach.

The Hornets suffered three lopsided losses during an abbreviated campaign upended by the COVID-19 pandemic.

They are just 1-22 since advancing to the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) championship game at the end of the 2017 season.

However, Banks said the limited time on the field last fall was beneficial in building chemistry and learning the new system.

Depth and experience will be issues for the Hornets this season, as well as size in the trenches. Banks and his staff are trying to build participation numbers

at all levels to address that.

“It’s really important to have that solid foundation,” said Banks, a former NFL quarterback. “The program is not where we want it to be yet. We don’t have a problem with skill guys. We just need to find some big guys.”

Senior quarterback Bennett Broaddus, also a pitcher on the baseball team, played several positions last year.

“Bennett sees the field really well, and we’ve adjusted the offense to fit his skill set,” Banks said. “He has a lot of freedom at the line of scrimmage.”

Several starters will see significant action on both offense and defense, including Emilio Garcia at running back and defensive end. Other contributors will include Josh Titens, Gideon Myers, Kenny Zhao, and Lukas Mullin.

“We’re going to be a team that executes and knows what we’re doing,” Banks said.
