TAPPS Division II - District 3 San Antonio Christian School @SACSFootball Head Coach: Austin Smithey @AustinSmithey 📝 2025 Outlook San Antonio Christian enters 2025 with momentum after back-to-back winning seasons under Coach Austin Smithey, who has revitalized the program’s competitive edge. SACS returns a roster grounded in two-way versatility and rising underclassman talent, pushing to convert a solid 2024 season into a deeper district run. With senior leaders returning to carry the offensive load, the Lions are poised to lean on a balanced attack. Coach Smithey's squad must maintain consistency and raise the ceiling against a strong District 3 field to contend for postseason positioning. 🔥 Things to Like 🔹 Proven QB talent: Junior QB Sloan Guillory @SloanGuilloryQB returns with Varsity experience combined with arm strength, size, and mobility make him a dangerous dual-threat option. 🔹 Experienced offensive line: Four starters return up front, anchored by three-year starter Elijah Brown @ElijahBrownOL, with Luke Potts @lukepotts117, Bauer Crawford, and others providing size and chemistry to protect Guillory and open running lanes. 🔹 Defensive leaders in the front seven: First-team all-district LB Lance Malin (90 tackles, 3 sacks) returns alongside three-year starting DL Zach Griffin. Add in LB Spenser Hansen and LB Riggs Barth @riggsbarth and SACS has a tough, seasoned core. 🔹 Receiving depth: Malin doubles as a receiving threat, joined by Aaron Albrecht, Chris Kelly, and Will Harrison. Sophomore DB/QB Ben Allen @BenjaminAl5566 is an emerging playmaker with versatility. 🔹 Steady ground game: RB/LB Ethan Young @ethan_young2364 brings physicality to the backfield and is a reliable two-way contributor. 👀 Things to Watch 🔹 Replacing lost star power: The departure of Jude Womack and Ben Moore leaves holes on both sides of the ball. Emerging leaders will need to step into those roles to maintain the team’s upward trajectory. 🔹 Playmaking in the secondary: While the front seven is experienced, the secondary will be tested against the district’s stronger passing attacks. Developing consistency in coverage will be key. 🔹 Keeping QB upright: Guillory is the focal point of the offense. Maintaining pass protection against aggressive defensive fronts will dictate how explosive this unit can be. 📱 Player/Coach Accounts on X Elijah Brown @ElijahBrownOL, 2026, OL Luke Potts @lukepotts117, 2026, G/C Riggs Barth @riggsbarth, 2027, LB Sloan Guillory @SloanGuilloryQB, 2027, QB Ben Allen @BenjaminAl5566, 2028, QB/DB Ethan Young @ethan_young2364, 2028, RB #txhsfb #TAPPSFootball @TXPSMedia @TXPrivateFBGuy
