THE ENTIRETY OF CYPRESS CHRISTIAN’S ATHLETIC PROGRAM WENT ON A TEAR EARLIER THIS YEAR. THROUGH THE TIRELESS EFFORTS OF THE ATHLETES AND COACHES, THE SPRING SEASON FEATURED A SERIES OF FIRSTS FOR SOME OF THEIR TEAMS. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE 2023 SCHOOL YEAR, THE WARRIORS SOLIDIFIED THEMSELVES AS A TAPPS POWERHOUSE IN ALL FACETS OF THEIR ORGANIZATION. HERE IS THE RUNDOWN OF EACH OF THE CYPRESS CHRISTIAN SQUADS WHO TRAVERSED THEIR RESPECTIVE POSTSEASONS TO EMERGE AS STATE CHAMPIONS.

BASEBALL Led by coach David Swan, the Warriors were a force on the diamond throughout the 2022-23 regular season, which would seamlessly carry over into the playoffs. After thrashing Holy Cross of San Antonio (12-1) at Regionals, followed by a nail-biter against Geneva School (6-5) in the State Semis, Cypress Christian would go on to claim their third state title with their 10-7 win over McKinney Christian. Subsequently, Drew Mestayer, and District MVP Zach Thibodeaux would become TAPPS-III all-state recipients, with Jacob Lukaszewski, and Warren Haudek each getting honorable-mention nods.
