TOMBALL CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOL FEATURES IMPRESSIVE 2022 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE!

COMMENTARY

As we said on "Chalk Talk Live" Monday night, things in Texas private and parochial high school athletics will slow a little bit in July, but we await the excitement of volleyball, football and fall soccer - and cross country - that will begin at the first of August.

We saw Tomball Christian High School playing a couple of Tuesdays ago in John Cooper School's Tuesday night 7-on-7 league with Tomball Rosehill and St. Pius X and Coach Chris Criswell's Warriors look to be even more competitive in 2022.

And they've put together a pretty impressive schedule to try and capture the title of being the best homeschool football team in the country this year.

Tomball Christian will open on the road against UIL 16-4A, Division II Bishop, who made the playoffs a year ago.  They'll take on SPC powers Kinkaid and Episcopal in weeks two and 10, respectively.  

Weeks four and six will feature TAPPS playoff teams in 9-3 Austin St. Michael's Catholic and defending Division III champion Cypress Christian

In week 11, they'll scrum with Spring Legacy School of Sports Sciences and that leaves games against four other homeschool programs.

TCHS will travel in week three to Lafayette, Louisiana to play Acadiana Christian, welcome Cedar Hill DasCHE to the Spring area in week nine, but the key games will be in weeks five and eight when they have neutral site matchups against Springfield (MO) Lighthouse Christian and Tulsa (OK) NOAH Homeschool in Jenks, Oklahoma and Plano, respectively.

Could be a very exciting year for the Warriors.

COACHING MOVES

Cjay Brown announced on Twitter that he is leaving Houston The Kinkaid School to become the head boys and girls track and field coach at Houston Christian High School.

He said, "I would like to thank Coach Nathan Larned and The Kinkaid School for a great five years of growth, development and being apart of a winning culture."

Allen Academy Gridsters Will Play Rice Freshmen; 11/19/1927

Bryan, Tex., Nov. 18 (AP) - Although their ace, Ted Spencer, is still on crutches, the Allen Academy football eleven left here today for Houston, where they clash tomorrow with the freshman team of Rice Institute, hopeful of putting up a stiff fight.

Allen closes its football schedule here next Wednesday against the San Marcos Baptist Academy.

Allen Pointing For Dallasites; 10/25/1927

BRYAN, Oct. 24 (AP) - The Allen Academy football team began intensive training today in preparation for its game her Friday with Terrell Military Academy of Dallas, a game which probably will decide the academy conference championship of Texas.

Terrell has defeated the San Marcos Baptist Academy team, considered one of the strongest academy elevens in the State, and has tied the Southern Methodist University freshmen.

Allen Academy has won all its games this year by big scores, but has not encountered such stiff competition as Terrell.

Puny Wilson, Allen coach and former star with the Texas Aggies, has been centering attention on developing a good forward passing attack.

Bryan Academy Out To Maintain Record; 10/21/1927

BRYAN, Oct. 20 -- With four scalps dangling on their belts, the Allen Academy football team will attempt to make the season's record five consecutive victories here Saturday when they play the State Institution for the Deaf and Dumb from Austin.  The "Dummies" have always put up good game against Allen Academy and Saturday's tussle is not expected to be an easy game for the locals.

Although his team has been assembled for less than a month, Coaches Puny Wilson, C.E. Devinney and H.B. Slaughter are developing a smooth running machine.  There has never been a better team spirit on the club, and the boys are determined to win each game as they come to them.  Coach Wilson has been putting his boys through such strenuous practice sessions that he is being given the moniker "Hurry Up" Wilson after "Hurry Up" Yost.  Most of the high school teams of the State started practicing about three weeks earlier than Allen Academy.

Allen Academy Wins; 10/17/1927

CORSICANA, Oct. 16 - The Allen Academy football eleven met unexpected opposition in the Corsicana High School Tigers Friday afternoon on the local field when the visitors won a hard-fought game, 9 to 0.  Spencer, the big, plunging, powerful back of the Academy eleven, accounted for the win.
