On a crisp November afternoon at San Marcos Academy, the Grace Academy Griffins used a lethal combination of opportunistic defense, flawless special teams, and a perfectly balanced offense to turn a close first quarter into a 56-35 rout of the Faith Knights. The scoreboard suggests a shootout, but the story of the game was written in red: four Faith interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and one Grace turnover. Those extra possessions, combined with dominant field posit

In a wild, high-scoring affair Grace Academy punched its ticket to the championship game with a commanding 78-38 win over Grace Classical Christian Academy on Friday night.

The Griffin's explosive offense struck early and often, scoring on seven straight possessions — all touchdowns — before taking a knee to run out the clock in the second half. By the time Hill County finally got on the board with a late second-quarter touchdown, Grace Academy had already b

GEORGETOWN, Texas — The Grace Academy Griffins made it clear there would be no upset on the Hill County senior night, bulldozing Hill County 52-6 in a regular-season finale. Freshman running back Nathan Washington, filling in as the feature back with Elijah Heilig out due to injury, torched the state’s leading rusher and the Hill County defense for 183 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries — routinely bouncing runs outside and out-running pursuit angles for chunk gain

GEORGETOWN, Texas — Shorthanded but never short on heart, the Grace Academy Griffins gave the undefeated Division II powerhouse WILCO Falcons everything they could handle Thursday night, ultimately falling 58-47 in a high-flying shootout that saw 105 combined points. Playing without star junior running back Elijah Heilig (ankle injury) and versatile senior Cole Campbell (elbow), Grace leaned heavily on freshman Nathan Washington, who delivered a career performance with 24 car

GEORGETOWN, Texas — In a game that felt more like a track meet than six-man football, the Grace Academy Griffins leaned on Junior running back Elijah Heilig and a bend-but-don’t-break defense to pull away from a stubborn Centex Tigers squad, 64-34, on Thursday night. Heilig was once again unstoppable, bulldozing his way to 199 yards and five touchdowns on 28 carries — including a back-breaking 54-yard sprint in the third quarter that pushed the Griffin lead to 48-22. The soph

GEORGETOWN, Texas — In a classic case of David versus Goliath, the Grace Academy Griffins — playing without two key starters in Cole Campbell (injured) and multi-phase weapon Leeman (injured) — were simply outmanned Thursday night, falling 54-6 to a bigger, faster Founders Classical squad from TAIAO’s top division. The Archers wasted no time asserting their physical superiority, racing out to a 30-6 halftime lead and never looking back. Founders racked up 396 total yards (267
