GRANT HARALSON CAPPED OFF HIS FOOTBALL CAREER AT FORT BEND CHRISTIAN ACADEMY IN MEMORABLE FASHION.

SUGAR LAND—Before Friday night, through the previous two seasons and nine games into this one, Fort Bend Christian Academy head football coach Jordan Black saw a team that was scratching and clawing.

HOUSTON - Zion Granville has been around sports his entire life. "He had always been a brother to me, so I wanted to return the favor and decided to play football. Abilene Christian, Illinois State, and a preferred walk-on opportunity from Texas came. In the end, Granville picked Illinois State University. Outside of football, Granville enjoys Star Wars, art, and design and still playing basketball and he wants to study political science, graphic design, or business at Illinois State.

It has been a remarkable season for Fort Bend Christian Academy. The Eagles are 5-1 on the year, the only loss coming to Kinkaid, and are in line to be playing for the district championship. VYPE's Joshua Koch caught up with head coach Jordan Black to talk about the year, emergence of sophomore Brady Dever at quarterback, the strength of the O-Line, playing Second Baptist School this week and more!

Jordan Black is the new leader of the FBCA football program. Check out the VYPE Coaches Corner to hear about Coach Black's coaching philosophies and expectations this year for Fort Bend Christian.

Welcome to the 2020 football season. But VYPE has still done what we have always done when it comes to previewing Texas high school football here in Houston.

Others to watch on what could be the most talented OL in the district includes Cohen Carpenter and Clifton Self. Quarterback JD Migl (2,082 yards, 18 TDs; 939 yards rushing, 14 TDs) is a solid signal-caller but is more dangerous with his feet.

Cole played both ways as a receiver and defensive back, earning first-team honors and was named the District Newcomer of the Year. The fall football season transitioned into basketball season, where Cole excelled as a guard. Playing football made me even stronger and more athletic on the basketball court." Athletically, FBCA opened up so many opportunities that I never would have gotten at the public school level. FBCA is playing a huge role in making Cole's dreams a reality.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR CAN MAKEIn 2018, Fort Bend Christian Academy only played eight football games. The Eagles had to forfeit the final two games because they did not have enough players to field a football team. A year later, a new head coach and a new energy around the program - which went from 15 to 40-plus players on the roster - Fort Bend Christian Academy played its full 10-game regular season schedule. Last year was the death penalty for us," Fort Bend Christian Academy coach Jordan Black said. Heading into this season, Fort Bend Christian Academy was coming off a 1-7 year.

Winning wasn't something the players were used to, and Black reflected on the year that was with VYPE. 1 when you took over was just to play the full 10- game regular season schedule? VYPE: What was the locker room like after you all won the final regular season game and you all were in the playoffs? To see the emotion those kids had, the excitement they had, they had gone so long without winning a game. I think we are going to hit the ground running and we're going to be a really good football team."
