Last weekend, the Houston Christian High School Baseball team took part in a wonderful community initiative. Coach Tom Gladney and students Will Jackson, Jeb Burkhart, Cooper Gregory, Jake Chenoweth, Barret Faterkowski, and Finn Duty volunteered as "buddies" for The Miracle League at Langham Creek YMCA. The Miracle League is a baseball league specifically for children with special needs, founded by Allan Wallace in 2012. 

The Houston Christian student-athletes showed tremendous patience and care towards the players they worked with, bringing joy and smiles not only to the players but also to their appreciative parents. Every parent expressed their gratitude for the selfless efforts of the Houston Christian team after the games. 

Allan Wallace, the League Founder, commented that our Mustangs displayed exceptional leadership qualities and respect in their interactions with the special needs children. He also noted that their contribution to the initiative was invaluable and has made a lasting impact on the children's lives. 

Houston Christian High School's involvement in community service is a testament to the values and principles we instill in our students. The team's service to the community is greatly appreciated and truly a blessing. #GOMUSTANGS

With a lot of hard work, practice, perseverance, and skill, Rex translated his skills into competitive diving. Rex scored 9 team points.

The Mustang swim team was led by finalists Senior Matthew Thibault. Junior Kendall Wallace and Freshman Clark McCormick:

As mentioned, the Lady Mustangs were dominant in the relays. For the first time all season, the fastest lady Mustangs combined their talents in the 2OO Medley Relay. Each lady shone in their specialty stroke.   Clark McCormick (Backstroke 33.21), Bekah Gerard (Breaststroke 35.84), Jordan Bany (Butterfly 36.16) Kendall Wallace (Freestyle 25.39) combined for a time of 2:10.60 and placed 3rd.

The time was only 1.47 seconds off the school record. 

A special thanks to Matthew Thibault, Nate Sun, Micah Gordon, Rex Wiseman, Kendall Wallace, Jordan Bany, Clark McCormick, Bekah Gerard, and Victoria Lunam for all your hard work and dedication this season. Sorely missing from this year’s competition were teammates Sophomore Lucca Incerpi and Sophomore Ali Bruckner, who also had so amazing drops in times in their events this year but were unable to make this year’s competition. We hope they’ll be able to join us next year, and thank you for your hard work and dedication this season too.

Congratulations to Houston Christian High School Boys Varsity Basketball for winning the SPC 4A Championship after an incredible winter season. Their regular season was the shining example of excellence, with an undefeated district record (7-0) prior to advancing to the tournament, leading to Saturday’s championship game.

 

“I feel we were so successful this season because we loved each other. I’ve never been a part of a brotherhood like we experienced this season. We trust each other and that’s what ultimately puts us on top,” said sophomore Montana Wheeler.

 

Houston Christian won the SPC 4A Championship against district rival, Episcopal, 81-78, in a double-overtime thriller against Episcopal.

 

On a roster that features great talent, each player has propelled the team to another level. It's safe to say that the future of the Mustangs program is bright, given that many of the team's stars will return next season.

 

“The future of Houston Christian basketball is bright,” said senior Carter Seeliger.

 

We are so proud of our Mustangs!  

The Houston Christian High School Varsity Girls' Basketball team took the SPC State title Saturday with an 71-59 win over Houston-area rival Episcopal High School. Their title win also completed their undefeated season and made for a back-to-back SPC State Title, creating history for the program.

Entering the championship tournament, Houston Christian proved itself to be an extremely strong team, and coach Ryan Bickham credits its success to hard work and dedication. Being united was also a key factor to this team's success throughout the season.

 

The team roster is filled with talent, some of which are taking it to the collegiate level next year. Senior D’Asia Thomas will play for Georgia Tech, Loghan Johnson will play for Texas Tech, and Madison Williams has committed to Hardin-Simmons University.  

We are so proud of the leadership, mentality, and performance on and off the court. Go Mustangs!
